Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is natural and relevant, but it is slightly long and repetitive. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two concise supporting details using linking words. Avoid redundant phrases like “I don't like to read all the time” followed by “I usually don't have the time for it.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading and consider it one of my favorite hobbies. However, because I’m often busy, I usually listen to audiobooks instead, as they let me enjoy stories while commuting or walking.

Sugerencia: Good content with comparisons, but the response is a bit disorganized and contains hesitations. Lead with a clear preference or balanced view, use linking words (however, because), and eliminate filler words. Be specific about why each format is better.

Ejemplo: I’m torn, but if I had to choose I prefer paper for long reading because it’s gentler on the eyes. However, I often use a screen at night because it’s more convenient and allows me to read without disturbing others.

Sugerencia: The idea is clear but the answer has grammatical errors and unclear phrases (“some articles are in”). Improve coherence by using a clear topic sentence, then give specific examples and reasons. Use linking words (for example, therefore) and correct grammar (e.g., “don’t relate” → “don’t relate”).

Ejemplo: I usually read carefully, especially when the material is important or technical. For example, I study closely when reading academic articles; however, if a book or article contains irrelevant filler material, I tend to skim through those sections.

Sugerencia: Answer is relevant but repetitive and contains awkward phrasing (“add some filters”). Give a concise direct statement of preference, then explain with a clear reason and an example. Keep to two to three sentences maximum.

Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand ideas thoroughly. However, I skim when passages contain irrelevant or repetitive information, for instance when an article repeats the same points several times.

× Of course, reading is one of my favorite hobbies, although I don't like to read all the time because I usually don't have the time for it, but instead I listen to audiobooks because you can listen while doing other things like commuting or going for a walk.

✓ Of course, reading is one of my favorite hobbies, although I don't read all the time because I usually don't have time for it; instead I listen to audiobooks because you can listen while doing other things like commuting or walking.

This sentence contains awkward verb choice and redundancy. 'I don't like to read all the time' is odd when meaning 'I don't read all the time' (present simple habit). 'Have the time for it' is wordy; 'have time' is more natural. 'Going for a walk' can be shortened to 'walking' for parallelism with 'commuting'. Also replace the comma splice before 'instead' with a semicolon or new clause. Suggestion: use consistent present simple for habits and streamline phrases.

× But just on the screen it's more convenient.

✓ But reading on a screen is more convenient.

The original uses awkward structure 'just on the screen' and omits the noun 'reading' leading to unclear reference. Also 'on the screen' vs 'on a screen' — 'a screen' is idiomatic when speaking generally. Use 'reading on a screen' for clarity.

× At night when all the lights are turned off and you want to and you don't want to disturb anyone, then reading on screen becomes convenient.

✓ At night, when the lights are off and you don't want to disturb anyone, reading on a screen becomes convenient.

Redundant phrase 'you want to and you don't want to' is incorrect; likely intended 'you don't want to disturb anyone'. Simplify 'all the lights are turned off' to 'the lights are off'. Maintain present simple for general truths.

× But overall, reading on paper is more healthy for the eyes.

✓ But overall, reading on paper is healthier for the eyes.

'More healthy' is grammatically acceptable but 'healthier' is the comparative adjective form preferred. Use 'healthier' for naturalness and correctness when comparing two options.

× I like to read carefully most of the time, however some articles are in.

✓ I like to read carefully most of the time; however, some articles are not.

The original ends with 'are in', which is incomplete and likely a mistake. Correct to 'some articles are not' (not worth reading carefully) or better specify 'some articles are not worth reading carefully.' Use a semicolon or period before 'however' and include the missing idea.

× Some books have a lot of fillers, like empty stories just doesn't relate much to the main topic or the main goal of the book is that they just use it as a filler.

✓ Some books have a lot of filler, such as empty stories that don't relate much to the main topic; the author seems to use them as fillers.

'Fillers' as a concept is fine but 'a lot of fillers' should be 'a lot of filler' or 'many fillers'. 'Just doesn't relate' is a subject-verb agreement error because 'stories' (plural) requires 'don't relate'. The sentence is also run-on and unclear; split into two clauses and clarify subject ('stories' and 'author'). Replace 'the main goal of the book is that they just use it as a filler' with concise phrasing.

× So I barely scan through these.

✓ So I barely scan through them.

'These' is a plural demonstrative pronoun used as a determiner; when standing alone as a pronoun, 'them' is more natural. Tense is present simple describing habitual action; keep present simple but use correct pronoun 'them.'

× I mostly prefer detailed reading, but I usually skim through when the paragraphs or the author of the book or the articles just decided to add some filters.

✓ I mostly prefer detailed reading, but I usually skim when the paragraphs, the author, or the articles add some filler.

Mixed tense: 'decided' is past while context is habitual (use present 'decide' or 'add'). Also 'skim through' is fine but 'skim' is more concise. 'Add some filters' is incorrect word choice; 'filler' fits. Simplify the noun list and maintain parallel structure.

× So I just scanned through these.

✓ So I just scan through them.

Using 'scanned' (past) conflicts with the habitual context ('I usually...'). Keep present simple 'scan' to match the habitual meaning. Also replace 'these' with 'them' for pronoun correctness.

× But overall I like the detailed reading better.

✓ But overall I prefer detailed reading.

'Like...better' is acceptable but 'prefer' is more natural and concise. Keep present simple for habitual preference.
