Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: You answered directly and gave reasons, but your grammar, word choice and sentence structure need polishing. Use correct article forms (a/an), plural forms, and consistent tenses. Limit to at most five sentences and avoid redundancy by combining ideas with linking words (for example, 'because' and 'as a result'). Add one specific example to make it more concrete.

Ejemplo: Yes, I really enjoy reading because it helps me relax and expand my vocabulary. I usually read non-fiction books about self-development, such as time-management guides. As a result, I have improved my study habits and I communicate more confidently with classmates.

Sugerencia: Your preference is clear, but there are many grammatical errors and repetitive phrases. Use natural collocations (read on paper, read on a screen), correct articles, and smoother linking words (for example, 'because' and 'so'). Reduce repetition by stating one or two clear reasons with specific details about how paper helps you focus.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because paper feels more comfortable and helps me concentrate. For instance, when I study from a printed book I can highlight passages and make notes in the margins, which improves my focus and retention.

Sugerencia: The answer attempts to cover both situations but is unclear due to grammar mistakes and awkward phrasing. Use a clear topic sentence, then two concise supporting sentences with linking words (for example, 'when' and 'but'). Be specific about what 'reading carefully' means (studying for exams, understanding concepts) and what 'not reading carefully' means (skimming for general idea, practicing pronunciation).

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when I want to understand difficult ideas or study for exams, because careful reading helps me grasp the meaning and remember details. But I do not read carefully when I am skimming for general ideas or practicing reading aloud, since I only need the main points then.

Sugerencia: Your preference is clear but sentences are repetitive and contain grammar errors. Use one clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons with linking words (for example, 'because' and 'therefore'). Correct phrasing: 'detailed reading' gives you full understanding; 'scanning' gives main ideas. Provide a short example of when you use each method.

Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me fully understand the author’s points and the finer details, especially for academic texts. For example, I read articles carefully when I am preparing assignments, but I scan news headlines quickly when I only need the main idea.

× In my case, I usually read non fiction book related to self development.

✓ In my case, I usually read non-fiction books related to self-development.

The noun 'book' should be plural because 'usually' implies a habitual action involving more than one item; use 'books' (Grammar problem type 14). Also hyphenate compound adjectives 'non-fiction' and 'self-development' for clarity. Suggestion: use plural nouns with words like 'usually' and add hyphens for compound modifiers.

× As a result, it also helped me perform better in my studies and during communication.

✓ As a result, it also helped me perform better in my studies and in my communication.

Use 'in' not 'during' when referring to improvement in a skill or area; 'during' is used for specific time periods (Grammar problem type 11). Also keep parallel structure with 'in my studies' and 'in my communication'.

× I don't usually read on a screen.

✓ I don't usually read on a screen.

This sentence is acceptable; no article change required. No correction necessary. (Grammar problem type 22).

× I like to read in a paper because it gives me more interesting and more enthusiasm.

✓ I like to read on paper because it makes me more interested and more enthusiastic.

Use 'on paper' rather than 'in a paper' (preposition/article choice) and change adjective forms: 'more interesting' describes the paper, but the student means their feelings: use 'more interested' and 'more enthusiastic' (Grammar problem types 11 and 13). Suggestion: use correct prepositions and adjective/adverb forms to express experience.

× I really enjoy reading books in paper because I feel more intellectual and more enjoyment in reading papers.

✓ I really enjoy reading books on paper because I feel more intellectual and get more enjoyment from reading on paper.

Use 'on paper' not 'in paper' and maintain consistency; 'enjoyment in reading papers' is awkward—use 'enjoyment from reading on paper' (Grammar problem type 22 and 11). Suggestion: keep preposition consistent and use natural collocations like 'enjoyment from'.

× It helps to me make focus on book.

✓ It helps me focus on the book.

Do not use 'to' after 'helps' in this construction; use bare infinitive or object + verb: 'helps me focus'. Also use the definite article 'the' with 'book' when referring to a specific book in context (Grammar problem types 11 and 17). Suggestion: use 'helps me do' constructions and appropriate articles.

× I did carefully when I really want to concentrate on book and to understand the meaning or the context of book, what is giving to us.

✓ I read carefully when I really want to concentrate on a book and understand its meaning or context and what it gives us.

Mix of tenses and forms: use present simple 'read' for habitual/present situations instead of 'did'. Use 'a book' and possessive 'its' for clarity; 'what it gives us' is the natural phrasing (Grammar problem types 5 and 17). Suggestion: keep tense consistent and use articles/possessives correctly.

× And when I don't give the, uh, concentrate when I don't want to know the what book are telling and when I want to practice book that time I don't concentrate.

✓ And when I don't concentrate, for example when I don't want to know what the book is saying or when I want to practice with a book, I don't concentrate.

Original has redundant and misplaced words. Use 'concentrate' without 'give', correct word order 'what the book is saying', and include articles 'a book' and preposition 'with' for 'practice with a book' (Grammar problem types 12, 11, 17). Suggestion: simplify clauses and keep subject-verb order correct.

× I prefer detailed reading because it gives the understand of what book is saying to us and what the real meaning because scanning can't give us the real meaning of what book is saying in that term.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because it helps us understand what the book is saying and its real meaning; scanning can't give us the real meaning of what the book is saying in that sense.

Use 'helps us understand' not 'gives the understand'; include articles 'the book' and use 'in that sense' for natural phrasing (Grammar problem types 22, 13, 11). Suggestion: use verbs like 'help' + base verb and correct article placement.

× I always read detailed We book, uh, would take some time and concentration.

✓ I always read in detail; books would take some time and concentration.

Original sentence is fragmented and contains filler words. Use adverbial form 'in detail' rather than 'detailed', and separate ideas: 'books take time and concentration' (Grammar problem type 26). Suggestion: remove fillers, use correct adverbial forms, and split into clear clauses.
