Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it's a bit long and contains minor grammatical issues and redundancy. Aim for a concise topic sentence followed by one or two specific supporting details. Correct small grammar problems (e.g., "as well as it's" → "and it"; avoid repeating ideas like "saves my time" and "more convenient"). Use a linking word to connect the contrasting idea about reading books for depth.

Ejemplo: I don't read many books these days because I prefer short instructional videos, which are quicker and more convenient. However, when I need deep, reliable information—for example for a research project—I read full books or long articles to get detailed explanations.

Sugerencia: Good direct response with personal reason, but the answer has repetition and a grammar error. Avoid repeating "limit" and refine tense/structure (e.g., "I tried to limit the exposure limit" → "I've tried to reduce my screen time"). Use one linking word to add a short consequence or example. Keep it to two or three sentences maximum.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading physical books because my eyes are sensitive and screens make them feel strained. For example, my doctor recommended I reduce screen time, so I now reserve digital reading for short tasks only.

Sugerencia: The structure is good with contrast words ('however'), but the final sentence is incomplete and there's a slight redundancy. Complete the final thought ("make notes on the text"), and use one precise example to illustrate a scenario. Keep sentences concise and avoid overlong phrases like "really carefully and concentrate more."

Ejemplo: I usually skim articles to get the general idea when I'm short on time. However, when I'm preparing for an exam or writing an essay, I read the text carefully and take detailed notes to remember key points.

× These days I rarely read books because I prefer faster and more efficient ways of learning such as watching short instructional videos.

✓ These days I rarely read books because I prefer faster and more efficient ways of learning, such as watching short instructional videos.

Missing comma before the example phrase beginning with 'such as' improves sentence clarity; this is a punctuation/structure issue related to using a verb + -ing clause as a noun phrase modifier. Add a comma to separate the main clause from the list/example that follows. Suggestion: Place a comma before 'such as' when introducing examples to make the sentence clearer.

× Watching videos saves my time as well as it's more convenient, although I read books and articles when I need in-depth knowledge or information.

✓ Watching videos saves me time, and they are more convenient, although I read books and articles when I need in-depth knowledge or information.

The original mixes pronoun references incorrectly: 'saves my time' should be 'saves me time' (correct object pronoun), and 'it's more convenient' ambiguously refers to 'watching videos' but uses singular 'it' while 'videos' is plural. Change to 'they are' to match plural or rephrase. Also combine clauses with 'and' for smoother coordination. Suggestion: Use correct object pronouns ('me') and match pronoun number to its antecedent ('they' for videos).

× I prefer reading on physical books because I have poor eyesight and reading from screens strains my eyes and it's really uncomfortable.

✓ I prefer reading physical books because I have poor eyesight; reading from screens strains my eyes and is really uncomfortable.

'Reading on physical books' is incorrect collocation: we say 'reading physical books' or 'reading from physical books'. Also 'it's really uncomfortable' is better as 'is really uncomfortable' to avoid an extra pronoun. Use a semicolon or conjunction to separate related independent clauses. Suggestion: Use correct collocations ('reading physical books') and avoid unnecessary pronouns; split long sentences for clarity.

× My doctor advised me to limit my screen time so I tried to limit the exposure limit.

✓ My doctor advised me to limit my screen time, so I tried to reduce my exposure.

The phrase 'limit the exposure limit' is redundant and ungrammatical (double use of 'limit' and missing object specificity). Replace with 'reduce my exposure' to express the intended meaning. Add a comma before 'so' when joining clauses. Suggestion: Avoid redundancy and choose a clear verb-object phrase ('reduce my exposure' or 'limit my screen time').

× However, if I need to understand the topic in depth or prepare for an exam, then I read the texts really carefully and concentrate more so that I can make notes on the.

✓ However, if I need to understand the topic in depth or prepare for an exam, I read the texts really carefully and concentrate more so that I can take notes on them.

The original ends with 'make notes on the.' leaving the object missing, causing a sentence fragment and unclear meaning. Replace with 'take notes on them' to provide a verb-object phrase and correct collocation ('take notes') and pronoun reference ('them' for texts). Also 'then' is unnecessary; simple present fits habitual action. Suggestion: Use complete verb-object phrases ('take notes on them') and ensure pronouns clearly refer back to their antecedents.
