Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms and articles (e.g., 'relaxing' → 'relax', 'you may not met' → 'you may not meet'). Avoid repetition ('I love reading' and 'Reading is a good way' are similar).

Example: Yes, I do. I love reading because it helps me relax when I’m stressed. For example, after a busy day I often read a novel to unwind, and through stories I can experience lives and cultures I wouldn’t otherwise encounter.

Suggestion: Make the preference statement concise and fix small grammatical errors and repetition. Use linking words to explain reasons and give a brief specific example. Correct phrases like 'half an hours later' to 'after about half an hour'.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it helps me concentrate on the text. For instance, when I read on a screen I usually get distracted after about half an hour, but with a paper book I can focus for longer periods.

Suggestion: Use present tense and clearer structure: start with a direct topic sentence, then contrast the two situations using linking words (e.g., 'whereas', 'but'). Improve grammar: 'have to need' → 'need to', 'character' → 'characters', 'in my free time I just need to read freely' → 'in my free time I read more casually.' Add a brief specific detail about what 'reading carefully' involves.

Example: I need to read carefully when I have an assignment or exam, because I must understand the plot, characters and themes in detail. However, in my free time I read more casually for enjoyment and don’t focus on every detail.

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar: 'every details' → 'every detail', 'a important' → 'an important'. State preference clearly, then justify with a specific reason and example using linking words (e.g., 'because', 'for example'). Avoid redundant phrases. Explain when you might choose detailed reading to show balance.

Example: I prefer scanning because I enjoy following the main plot rather than focusing on every detail. For example, when I’m reading for pleasure I skim chapters to keep the story moving, whereas I read in detail when I need to analyse a text for a class.

× Reading is a good way to relaxing myself, so every time I feel stressful I like to choose a book to calm myself down.

✓ Reading is a good way to relax myself, so whenever I feel stressed I like to choose a book to calm myself down.

The phrase 'a way to relaxing' is incorrect because after 'a way to' you should use the base form of the verb (infinitive without to) or the full infinitive 'to relax'. Also 'feel stressful' is wrong: use 'feel stressed' to describe a person's feeling. Suggestion: use 'a way to relax' and 'feel stressed'. Grammar problem type ID:8

× And also I think reading is a good way to experience the life that you may not met in your life.

✓ And also I think reading is a good way to experience lives that you may not have met in your life.

The verb 'met' is past tense but here a present perfect 'have met' is appropriate when referring to experiences up to now. Additionally, 'the life that you may not have met' is awkward: use 'lives' or 'aspects of life that you may not have experienced'. Suggestion: use present perfect 'have met' or rephrase to 'have experienced'. Grammar problem type ID:5

× I prefer to read on paper compared with a screen because I think reading on paper is a good way to concentrate on the book itself.

✓ I prefer to read on paper rather than on a screen because I think reading on paper helps me concentrate on the book itself.

Use 'rather than' or 'compared with' followed by proper structure; 'compared with a screen' is awkward here. Also 'concentrate on the book itself' is fine but 'is a good way to concentrate' is wordy; use 'helps me concentrate'. Suggestion: use 'rather than' and match parallel structure. Grammar problem type ID:11

× If I read on screen, maybe half an hours later, half an hour later, I would be distracted.

✓ If I read on a screen, maybe half an hour later I would be distracted.

Errors: article missing before 'screen' ('a screen'), incorrect plural 'hours' and repetition 'half an hours later, half an hour later'. Also conditional/modal choice: 'I would be distracted' is acceptable but simpler 'I get distracted' can be used for habitual situations. Suggestion: use 'on a screen' and 'half an hour later'. Grammar problem type ID:22

× When it was a homework to read a specific book, I have to need to read carefully because I have to know the plot, character and other things clearly, while in my free time I just need to read freely.

✓ When I had homework to read a specific book, I needed to read carefully because I had to know the plot, characters and other details clearly, while in my free time I just read freely.

'When it was a homework' is incorrect; use 'When I had homework' or 'When there was homework'. Tense consistency: change to past tense 'had/needed' for the homework context. 'Character' should be plural 'characters' and 'other things' is vague; 'other details' is better. 'Have to need' is redundant; use 'needed' or 'had to'. Suggestion: align tense and use correct nouns and avoid redundancy. Grammar problem type ID:3

× I prefer scanning because As for me, compared with understanding every details, I think knowing the plots is more important because reading is a important way for enjoyment if we keep focus on the details.

✓ I prefer scanning because, for me, understanding the plot is more important than understanding every detail; reading is an important way to enjoy yourself, and we should avoid focusing only on details.

Multiple issues: 'As for me' and 'because' used together is redundant; use one connector. 'Compared with understanding every details' is ungrammatical: 'every' requires singular noun 'detail' or use 'all the details'. 'Knowing the plots' should be 'understanding the plot' (singular or 'plots' if multiple). 'a important' should be 'an important' (article error). Sentence is long and awkward; break into clearer clauses and keep parallel structure ('more important than'). Suggestion: simplify connectors, fix count and article errors, and use parallel comparison. Grammar problem type ID:16
