Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more clear and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, reduce repetition and filler words, correct grammar (e.g., 'novels' not 'novel', 'literature' vs 'novels'), and give one or two specific reasons or examples. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' to make the answer coherent.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. I mainly read novels because they inspire my creativity and help me understand different perspectives. For example, last month I finished a historical novel that gave me new ideas for my writing projects.

Sugerencia: Give a clear preference with specific reasons and avoid vague phrasing. Use linking words for contrast (e.g., 'although', 'however') and correct collocations ('take notes', 'research papers'). Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on a screen because I can take notes easily and switch between documents. However, I also use paper for studying, as printed pages help me remember key concepts when I read research papers.

Sugerencia: Reduce hesitation sounds and speak more fluently. Begin with a clear topic sentence that contrasts the two situations. Provide a specific example (e.g., 'final year project literature review' vs 'reading for pleasure') and use linking words like 'when' and 'whereas'.

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when I work on my final year project because I must understand and cite sources accurately. In contrast, when I read novels for pleasure, I read more casually to relax and enjoy the story.

Sugerencia: Make your answer more grammatically correct and specific. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two contrasting examples using linking words ('for example', 'however'). Avoid vague endings and incomplete thoughts; finish your sentences clearly.

Ejemplo: It depends on the purpose: for novels I usually scan to find interesting parts, because I'm reading for enjoyment. However, for a literature review I read in detail to note all important points and avoid missing key information.

× Of course, I spend a lot of time reading whenever I have some spare time, especially for the literature on novel, because the novel can get me inspired, which others say and thinking in their imaginations, I post the textbook.

✓ Of course, I spend a lot of time reading whenever I have spare time, especially novels, because novels inspire me more than textbooks do.

The original sentence has awkward phrasing and incorrect word choices: 'the literature on novel' and 'the novel can get me inspired' are unnatural. Also 'which others say and thinking in their imaginations, I post the textbook' is unclear and ungrammatical (sentence structure error). Use plural 'novels' for general statements and the verb 'inspire' instead of 'get me inspired'. Remove the confusing clause and add a clear comparison 'more than textbooks do'. Suggestion: keep statements concise, use plural for general categories and active verbs ('inspire').

× I prefer it on the screen because we can get some notes and write it down and the next window.

✓ I prefer reading on a screen because we can take notes, write on it, and switch between windows.

Pronoun and reference issues: 'it' ambiguously refers to 'reading' or 'screen' and 'get some notes' is incorrect collocation. Use 'reading on a screen' and verbs 'take notes' and 'write on it' for clarity. Also 'the next window' should be 'switch between windows' to convey the intended meaning.

× However, I can accept the terms of paper because the paper can help me memorize the key concept, especially when I take research.

✓ However, I can accept paper because it helps me memorize key concepts, especially when I am doing research.

Awkward phrases: 'accept the terms of paper' is incorrect; use 'accept paper' or 'prefer paper'. 'Key concept' should be plural 'key concepts' for generalization. 'When I take research' is ungrammatical; use 'when I am doing research'. Maintain consistent verb tense (present simple for general facts).

× Sometimes, when I seriously have a literature review of my final year project, I must put my effort to read this umm, with, uh, patience.

✓ Sometimes, when I am doing a literature review for my final year project, I have to read carefully and patiently.

'Have a literature review' is awkward; use 'doing a literature review'. 'Must put my effort to read' is ungrammatical — use 'have to read' or 'must read'. 'With patience' is better expressed as 'carefully and patiently'. Use present progressive for ongoing action 'am doing' and present modal 'have to' for obligation in this context.

× However, when I just, uh, uh, watch some, uh, novels, I can just, uh, free myself.

✓ However, when I just read novels for pleasure, I can relax.

The phrase 'watch some novels' is incorrect—one reads novels, not watches them. 'Free myself' is awkward in this context; 'relax' or 'unwind' is more natural. Remove filler words and simplify to a clear structure: subordinate clause + main clause.

× It depends on the different situations. When I get some novels I just scanning for what I am interested.

✓ It depends on the situation. When I find some novels, I just scan to see what interests me.

'It depends on the different situations' is wordy; use 'depends on the situation'. 'When I get some novels' is informal—'find' is better. The verb form 'I just scanning' is incorrect; it should be 'I just scan' (base form) after subject. Also 'for what I am interested' should be 'to see what interests me' for natural phrasing.

× However, for the literary review I must catch any possible details because when I ignore someone I will.

✓ However, for the literature review I must catch every possible detail because if I ignore something, it could cause problems.

Problems: 'literary review' is acceptable but 'literature review' is the standard academic term. 'Catch any possible details' is better as 'catch every possible detail'. The clause 'when I ignore someone I will' is incomplete and unclear; likely intended 'if I ignore something, it will cause problems'. Make conditional 'if' and complete the consequence. Use 'could' or 'it may cause problems' to indicate potential outcome.
