Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: give a clear topic sentence then one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition (e.g., “fun” and “funny”) and minor grammar errors (plural/singular, articles). Use linking words like “because” or “for example” to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading because it improves my English, particularly my speaking. For example, I read the manga One Piece, which helps me learn conversational phrases and keeps me motivated because it’s entertaining.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear direct answer, then give two specific, concise reasons. Remove filler words (“honestly”, “I think if”) and fix grammar (remove extra articles, use adjectives correctly). Use linking words like “because” and “also.”

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I can physically feel the pages and the text and images are usually clearer. Also, paper is easier on my eyes, so I can read for longer without strain.

Sugerencia: Provide a concise topic sentence and two contrasted specific situations. Avoid fillers (“uh”, “yeah”) and informal phrasing like “just pass.” Use linking words such as “whereas” or “but” to contrast the two cases and correct tense and modal use.

Ejemplo: I read carefully when I need to fully understand the material, for example when studying for an exam or learning a new skill. But when the text is uninteresting or irrelevant, I skim it quickly to save time.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer then provide specific reasons and one brief example. Avoid contractions like 'cause' and fillers. Use correct grammar (e.g., “I prefer scanning because it’s faster” and “I mostly scan”). Add a linking word like “because” and a short example of when you scan.

Ejemplo: I prefer scanning because it’s faster and helps me find the main information quickly. For instance, when researching online articles for a school project, I scan headings and first sentences to decide which sources are useful.

× Of course I really like reading, it helps me improve my English, especially my speaking skill.

✓ Of course, I really like reading; it helps me improve my English, especially my speaking skills.

'Speaking skill' is better as the plural 'speaking skills' to refer to general ability. Also add comma after 'Of course' and use a semicolon or period to separate independent clauses for clarity.

× And I really like reading comic book such as One Piece, it's fun and funny too.

✓ And I really like reading comic books such as One Piece; they're fun and funny too.

Use plural 'comic books' when speaking generally. 'Such as One Piece' requires the plural noun form. Also use 'they're' to agree with the plural subject and replace the comma splice with a semicolon.

× Honestly, I prefer to read on paper because I think if I read on paper it's a useful because I can touch it and I can see the clearer words and I can see the clearer pictures.

✓ Honestly, I prefer to read on paper because I think it's useful: I can touch it, and I can see clearer words and pictures.

Remove redundant 'if I read on paper' and unnecessary articles 'the' before 'clearer words' and 'clearer pictures'. Use 'it's useful' rather than 'it's a useful' (adjective vs noun). Use colon and commas to improve clarity.

× Yeah, that's why I like reading on paper.

✓ Yeah, that's why I like reading on paper.

Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. Preposition 'on' is appropriate for 'reading on paper'.

× I will read carefully when I really want to understand and I really want to, uh, know deeper, but when I have to read the book that I dislike, I would really quickly and yeah, just pass.

✓ I read carefully when I really want to understand and learn more, but when I have to read a book that I dislike, I read quickly and just skim it.

Use present simple 'read' to state habitual actions rather than 'will' or 'would'. Replace 'know deeper' with 'learn more' and 'really quickly and... just pass' with 'read quickly and just skim it' for clarity and natural phrasing. Use 'a book' not 'the book' when speaking generally.

× I prefer scanning 'cause I think it's faster and I don't have to waste my time on, uh, the book too much. So I would scanning for mostly.

✓ I prefer scanning because I think it's faster and I don't have to waste too much time on a book. So I mostly scan.

Use 'because' instead of informal ''cause'. 'Waste my time on the book too much' should be 'waste too much time on a book'. 'I would scanning' is incorrect: use 'I mostly scan' (present simple) for habitual preference. Change word order for natural English.
