Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more natural and concise: start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition ("an hour or half an hour" is unclear) and minor grammar issues (use "I usually" rather than "I specify"). Try to keep it within three sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. I usually read for about 30–60 minutes each night before bed, mostly fiction or short articles to relax.

Sugerencia: Clarify your preference with a clear topic sentence and avoid repetition and unfinished thoughts. Use linking words (for example, "because" and "however") correctly and give a specific reason and context (e.g. reading at night). Keep it to two or three sentences and fix grammar ("the paper one" -> "paper").

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because it is more comfortable for long sessions and easier on my eyes. However, I sometimes read on a screen during the day for convenience, especially when I'm outdoors or traveling.

Sugerencia: Begin with a direct topic sentence and correct small grammar errors ("presents tips" or "gives instructions"). Use linking words such as "but" or "whereas" to contrast careful reading and scanning, and give a specific example of each to make your answer more concrete.

Ejemplo: I read carefully when the text contains instructions or practical tips, for example a how-to guide or technical article. In contrast, I usually scan when the material contains filler anecdotes or background that doesn't affect the main points.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then briefly explain exceptions with a linking word like "however". Avoid repeating the same idea twice and refine wording ("fillers" -> "irrelevant passages"). Provide a short example to illustrate when you would scan.

Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because I like to understand ideas fully. However, if a book contains long irrelevant passages or digressions, I tend to skim those sections to focus on the main arguments.

× I dedicate about an hour or half an hour to read every day.

✓ I dedicate about an hour or half an hour to reading every day.

The verb phrase 'to read' after 'dedicate time' should use the gerund form 'reading' to indicate the activity spent time on. Use 'dedicate time to doing something.' Also consider choosing one duration format: 'about an hour or half an hour' is awkward; better: 'about half an hour to an hour.'

× I specify that time mostly at night.

✓ I spend that time mostly at night.

The verb 'specify' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is to 'spend' time. Use 'spend time at night' or 'usually at night.' 'Specify' means to state or identify, not use time.

× I love to read on paper and on screen.

✓ I love to read on paper and on a screen.

When contrasting two formats, use parallel and specific prepositional phrases: 'on paper' and 'on a screen.' Adding the article 'a' before 'screen' makes the noun phrase natural in English.

× so I prefer the paper one.

✓ so I prefer paper.

Using 'the paper one' is informal and awkward; 'paper' as a medium is sufficient and more natural. If you mean 'the paper format,' say that explicitly: 'I prefer the paper format.' Avoid unnecessary pronouns like 'one.'

× However, paper reading on paper it's not the most convenient thing.

✓ However, reading on paper is not always the most convenient.

The original repeats 'paper' and includes an unnecessary subject 'it' leading to redundancy and ungrammatical structure. Use a clear subject-verb phrase: 'reading on paper is not always the most convenient.'

× At night when all the lights are turned off, that's when.

✓ At night, when all the lights are turned off, it is more difficult to read.

The fragment 'that's when' is incomplete. Provide a full clause describing what happens then. Add a subject and verb to complete the sentence.

× I need to read carefully when the book or the article presents a tips or some to follow instruction.

✓ I need to read carefully when a book or an article presents tips or instructions to follow.

Errors: article use and countability. 'Presents a tips' is wrong because 'tips' is plural so 'a' must be removed. 'some to follow instruction' is ungrammatical; use 'instructions to follow' or 'instructions' with 'to follow' after. Also 'the book or the article' can be generalized to 'a book or an article.'

× However, I scan through when there is a filler story or anything that's not related to the main topic of the book or the article.

✓ However, I scan through when there is a filler story or anything that is not related to the main topic of the book or article.

Grammar mostly fine; change contraction 'that's' to 'that is' for formality and remove redundant 'the' before 'article.' No major tense or form error; this suggestion cleans style.

× I do prefer detailed reading, however in some books and some articles there are a lot of fillers and unrelated stories to the topic, so I basically scan through these.

✓ I do prefer detailed reading; however, in some books and articles there are a lot of filler passages and stories unrelated to the topic, so I basically scan through them.

Use punctuation to join independent clauses (';' or separate sentences). 'Fillers' is informal; 'filler passages' or 'irrelevant sections' is clearer. Use 'them' as the pronoun referring to 'books and articles.' Also remove redundant 'some.'

× But other than that I prefer detailed reading.

✓ But other than that, I prefer detailed reading.

Add a comma after the introductory phrase 'But other than that'. The sentence is otherwise correct; this fixes punctuation and natural pause.
