E-books— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more direct, concise and accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. “I prefer e-books” or “I prefer paper books”) then give one or two specific reasons using correct grammar and vocabulary. Avoid filler sounds (umm, uh) and correct comparative forms (cheaper). Use linking words (firstly, secondly) to organise ideas.

Example: I prefer e-books because they are cheaper and easier to carry. For example, I can store dozens of novels on my phone when commuting. Secondly, e-books let me adjust the font size, which makes reading more comfortable.

Suggestion: Give a clear time frame and specific examples. Begin with a topic sentence saying when you read (e.g. in the evenings, during commutes). Then name one or two clear book titles or types without hesitation. Keep sentences short and coherent, and avoid repetition.

Example: I usually read online in the evening after dinner, about 30–60 minutes each night. I often read self-help and psychology books, for example “You Are Not Alone” and “How to Be Confident,” because they help me understand emotions and cope with stress.

Suggestion: Answer directly and give two clear, specific reasons with correct vocabulary. Replace vague words like “uni useful” with precise expressions (e.g. “user-friendly” or “accessible”). Use linking words (firstly, secondly) but keep sentences fluent and avoid fillers.

Example: Yes, I will read more online in the future. Firstly, e-books are more accessible because I can buy and download them instantly. Secondly, many e-books have built-in dictionaries and bookmarks, which make studying easier.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence stating the genres you read. Provide one or two specific reasons or examples explaining why, and use precise vocabulary (e.g. “self-help” instead of “healing”). Keep sentences concise and avoid hesitation.

Example: I like reading self-help and psychology books online because they give practical strategies for managing emotions. For instance, I recently read a book on coping skills that helped me deal with exam stress.

Suggestion: Give a clear comparison with two specific differences. Use correct comparative forms (cheaper, more convenient) and precise phrases (e.g. “easier to carry” rather than “take out”). Structure the answer: topic sentence, then two supporting points with brief examples.

Example: Reading online differs from paper books in two main ways. First, e-books are usually cheaper and often have discounts, so you can buy more titles for less money. Second, e-books are more portable since you can store many books on one device, which is useful when traveling.

× And, uh, secondly, the ebooks is more, uh, more cheapable.

✓ And, uh, secondly, the ebooks are cheaper.

Subject 'ebooks' is plural so verb should be 'are' not 'is' (third person singular issue). 'Cheapable' is not a correct adjective; use 'cheaper' to compare price. Suggestion: match plural subjects with 'are' and use correct comparative adjectives (cheaper).

× Umm, I'd say books because they're very, umm, convenient, uh, to take out when I was on the road in, on the way in the school.

✓ Umm, I'd say books because they're very convenient to take with me when I was on the road or on the way to school.

The sentence uses past reference 'when I was' correctly but has awkward prepositions and word order. This is mainly a past tense context with incorrect prepositions and phrasing. Use 'to take with me' and 'on the way to school' for natural English. Keep past tense 'was' if referring to past situations.

× the ebooks is more, uh, more cheapable.

✓ And, uh, secondly, e-books are cheaper.

Plural nouns like 'e-books' do not need the definite article 'the' unless referring to a specific set. Also standard spelling is 'e-books'. Remove unnecessary 'the' and use correct plural form. (Article error)

× I usually read some healing books online like umm, You are not really lonely, loneliness and another book I I always uh, I you I I read named umm how to be a a.

✓ I usually read self-help books online, such as You Are Not Really Lonely and Loneliness, and another book I often read called How to Be...

The original is disfluent, repeats words and has unclear title formatting. This is a sentence structure problem: reorder items, remove repetitions, and use 'such as' to introduce examples. Use 'often' instead of repeated 'I' and 'called' to introduce book titles.

× because umm, the books online are always more interesting than the paper book offline.

✓ because the books online are usually more interesting than paper books offline.

Mismatch between plural 'books' and singular 'book' ('paper book'). Also 'always more' is too strong; 'usually' is more natural. Ensure number agreement between compared nouns.

× Umm, first uh, firstly it is quite uni useful and secondly it's very convenient.

✓ Firstly, it is quite useful, and secondly it's very convenient.

'Uni useful' is incorrect; use 'useful'. Avoid both 'first' and 'firstly' together. Place adverb 'quite' before adjective 'useful'. Keep parallel structure.

× which helps me create uh, more psychology knowledge in my life in order to help me solve the, uh, puzzles in the real life.

✓ which helps me gain more knowledge of psychology to help me solve problems in real life.

Incorrect prepositions and phrasing: 'create...knowledge' is odd; use 'gain knowledge of'. 'In my life' and 'in the real life' are redundant; use 'in real life'. 'Puzzles' is better as 'problems' here. Fix prepositions 'of' and remove extra articles.

× Umm, I think the there are quite several difference between those two Umm and the most apparent 1 is that the the fee is more cheaper, uh, in ebooks and also it's more convenient to take out for.

✓ Umm, I think there are several differences between the two, and the most apparent one is that e-books are cheaper and also more convenient to carry.

Sentence has redundant words ('the there', 'the the'), number mismatch 'difference' vs 'differences', and incorrect phrase 'more cheaper' (double comparative). 'Take out for' is ungrammatical; use 'carry'. Clean up structure, use plural 'differences' and single comparative 'cheaper'.
