Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct word choice. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct repeated words and inaccurate terms (e.g., ‘religions’ → ‘relationships’ or ‘feelings’). Limit to 2–3 supporting details and avoid repetition. Also mention one specific reason and a brief example of a recent book to sound natural.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially romantic novels. I like them because they explore emotions and relationships in depth; for example, I recently finished a book called The Love Happies, which had believable characters and touching scenes.

Suggestion: Use correct tense and smoother linking words. Start with a clear preference, give two brief reasons linked logically, and correct awkward phrases (e.g., ‘immerse myself into the bookstores’ → ‘immerse myself in a book’). Mention how screens distract you with a concise clause.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because it helps me concentrate and be more patient; for instance, holding a book helps me immerse myself in the story. By contrast, reading on a screen often leads to distraction from social media.

Suggestion: Improve grammar, complete unfinished sentences and use linking words to contrast the two situations. Give a clear topic sentence, then two contrasted clauses with specific examples (e.g., reading instructions vs. skimming emails). Avoid sentence fragments and vague endings.

Example: I read carefully when I need to fully understand the writer’s ideas, such as studying a textbook or reading an essay for class. However, when I only need basic facts—like scanning emails or skimming articles for a meeting—I skim quickly to save time.

Suggestion: Minor corrections for natural phrasing and cohesion. Use the correct form ‘detailed reading’ and add a brief reason or example to support your preference. Keep it concise and varied to avoid repetition.

Example: I prefer detailed reading because I like to take my time and fully understand the author’s meaning; for example, when reading novels or essays I focus on language and ideas rather than rushing through them.

× I enjoy reading and I prefer romantic novels because I prefer the stories about the religions and emotions and I just finished a book called The Love Happies which which is really good.

✓ I enjoy reading and I prefer romantic novels because I prefer stories about relationships and emotions, and I just finished a book called The Love Happies, which is really good.

The sentence uses incorrect noun 'religions' instead of 'relationships' (word choice; adjective/noun misuse) and repeats 'which'. Also punctuation was added to separate clauses. Suggestion: use 'relationships' for romantic contexts and avoid repeating words; place a comma before 'which' for a non-restrictive clause.

× I prefer to read on paper because it helped me to be more patient and I can immerse myself into the bookstores but if I read on screen I will be dis disrupted by the social media.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because it helps me to be more patient and I can immerse myself in bookstores, but if I read on a screen I will be disrupted by social media.

Multiple issues: verb tense 'helped' should be present 'helps' to match habitual preference (Present tense issue but here corrected under article/word choice). Use 'in bookstores' not 'into the bookstores' and 'on a screen' is idiomatic. Remove the extra space in 'dis disrupted' and drop 'the' before 'social media'. Suggestion: keep consistent present tense for habitual actions, use 'in' with 'bookstores', and avoid unnecessary definite article with 'social media'.

× If I really want to understand what the writer is trying to say, I would read it carefully.

✓ If I really want to understand what the writer is trying to say, I will read it carefully.

The conditional structure uses present-tense condition ('If I really want') so the correct main clause modal is 'will' (first conditional). Using 'would' creates a mixed or second conditional. Suggestion: match conditional forms: use 'will' after 'if' for real present/future conditions.

× But if I just to grab the information for work or study, I will read it.

✓ But if I just want to grab information for work or study, I will skim it.

Original lacks a verb after 'just' ('just to grab' is ungrammatical in this clause). Also 'read it' is vague; 'skim it' better matches the intended meaning. Suggestion: include the verb 'want' after 'just' to form 'just want to', and use precise verbs like 'skim' for quick reading.

× I will read it speedily because speed reading helps me to.

✓ I will read it quickly because speed reading helps me.

Ending 'helps me to' is incomplete; 'helps me' is sufficient. 'Speedily' is correct but 'quickly' is more natural. Also avoid trailing 'to'. Suggestion: use complete verb phrases and prefer natural adverbs.

× I personally prefer detail reading.

✓ I personally prefer detailed reading.

'Detail reading' is incorrect noun-adjective order; 'detailed' (adjective) should modify 'reading', or better 'detailed reading' or 'detailed reading sessions'. Suggestion: use 'detailed' to describe the type of reading.
