Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g. "especially novels"), avoid redundancy, and add one specific detail or example using a linking word. Keep it under five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially novels. For example, I often read contemporary fiction because the characters and plots feel realistic, and reading helps me relax after a busy day.

Sugerencia: Use a clear topic sentence and improve fluency by removing repetition and small errors ("immerse into" → "immerse myself in", remove extra 'in'). Add a brief supporting reason with a linking word.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I can immerse myself in the text; for instance, paper copies help me avoid digital distractions like phone notifications.

Sugerencia: Clarify meaning and correct phrasing. Start with a direct topic sentence, then contrast with a linking word (e.g. "whereas" or "but") and give a specific example of materials you read carefully. Remove confusing phrase 'I don't suggest novels or magazines.'

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when studying professional books or course materials because I must remember facts and understand details; whereas when I read for leisure, such as novels or magazines, I skim and read more casually.

Sugerencia: Remove hesitations and tighten the response. Give a clear topic sentence, use linking words like "because" and provide a specific reason or brief example. Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: I prefer scanning because it feels less pressured; for example, when I skim novels I focus on the main plot and enjoy the story without worrying about every detail, which helps me relax.

× Yes, I like reading, especially read the novels.

✓ Yes, I like reading, especially reading novels.

The verb 'like' is followed by a gerund when expressing general preferences. 'Especially read the novels' is incorrect because 'read' should be in the -ing form to match 'like reading' and we omit the definite article for general novels. Suggestion: use 'reading novels' or 'reading the novels' only if referring to specific novels.

× I think the story with the books taught is very interesting and when I read it I felt relaxed and it helped me to clear my head.

✓ I think the stories in books are very interesting, and when I read them I feel relaxed and they help me clear my head.

The original has incorrect noun phrases and tense shifts. 'The story with the books taught' is unclear; 'stories in books' is natural. Subject-verb agreement and pronouns must match plural 'stories' with 'them'. Use present tense 'feel/ help' to match general habit. Suggestion: keep consistent tense and clear noun phrases (e.g., 'stories in books').

× I prefer to read on paper because when I read on paper I can immerse into it and when I read in on a screen I would distract by the notifications on my phone.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because when I read on paper I can immerse myself in it, and when I read on a screen I get distracted by notifications on my phone.

Use correct prepositions: 'immerse in' and 'distracted by'. Also reflexive pronoun 'myself' is required with 'immerse'. Remove extra 'in' before 'on a screen' and use 'get distracted' rather than passive 'would distract'. Suggestion: use 'immerse myself in it' and 'get distracted by notifications'.

× When I read professional books or study materials, I read carefully because I need to focus on the details and remember the facts.

✓ When I read professional books or study materials, I read carefully because I need to focus on the details and remember the facts.

This sentence is correct grammatically. It uses present simple appropriately to describe habitual actions. No change needed.

× But when I read for leisure, I don't suggest novels or magazines. I don't need to.

✓ But when I read for leisure, I don't study novels or magazines; I don't need to.

Original 'suggest' is incorrect choice of verb. The student likely meant 'study' rather than 'suggest'. Also combine sentences for clarity. Suggestion: use 'study' for careful reading and 'read for pleasure' for leisure reading.

× I prefer scanning, uh, because it doesn't have so much pressure.

✓ I prefer scanning because it doesn't have so much pressure.

Remove filler 'uh' for clarity. The sentence is otherwise acceptable but slightly awkward; better: 'there isn't so much pressure' or 'it isn't very stressful.' Suggestion: use 'isn't' instead of 'doesn't have' for natural phrasing.

× I can just enjoy the books and, uh, focus on the stories and uh, which can help me relax.

✓ I can just enjoy books and focus on the stories, which helps me relax.

Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary definite article 'the' for general meaning. 'Which can help me relax' is better as 'which helps me relax' to state a habitual effect. Suggestion: use concise clauses and consistent tense.
