Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct grammar: use singular/plural correctly and avoid fillers. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail and a brief example. Use linking words (for example, because) to make reasoning clear.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading, though not very often. I mainly read self-help books because they help me improve my mindset and overall well-being. For example, a recent book taught me practical techniques for managing stress, which I now use daily.

Sugerencia: Avoid long general statements and hesitations. Give a direct topic sentence (paper or screen), then one or two clear reasons using linking words like because or therefore. Keep sentences shorter and correct minor phrasing errors.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on a screen because digital platforms give me quick access to many free articles and ebooks. For example, I use apps to download books instantly and save money compared to buying printed copies.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers both parts (when careful and when casual). Reduce fillers and be specific about what makes a text important (legal, technical, deadlines). Use linking words like whereas or however to contrast.

Ejemplo: You should read carefully when the material is important, such as legal documents, technical instructions, or academic papers, because mistakes can have serious consequences. However, casual reading like news or novels can be more relaxed and skimmed if you just want entertainment.

Sugerencia: Be succinct and avoid repeating the same reason. Use accurate expressions (short-term memory, scanning once). Provide a clear example of when you repeat or take notes. Use linking words like because and so that to show purpose.

Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because I have a short-term memory, so scanning once isn't enough for me. For example, when studying for exams I read paragraphs slowly and sometimes reread or take notes so I remember the key points.

× I do it sometimes, mainly of self help book because it really helps me to build my mindset and well-being.

✓ I do it sometimes, mainly with self-help books because they really help me build my mindset and well-being.

The preposition 'of' is incorrect; 'with' or no preposition suits 'do it with books'. Also 'self help book' needs hyphenation and plural 'books' agrees with 'I do it sometimes' and 'lots of insights'. Use 'they' and 'help me build' for correct subject-verb agreement and natural phrasing.

× Oh I get lots of insights and advice from authors that I don't usually get from elsewhere.

✓ Oh, I get lots of insights and advice from authors that I don't usually get elsewhere.

The phrase 'get from elsewhere' is redundant; 'get elsewhere' is more natural. Comma after 'Oh' improves clarity. This is an adjective/adverb use issue where adverbial phrase placement should be streamlined.

× So yes I I do read but not a lot.

✓ So yes, I do read, but not a lot.

There is a duplicated 'I' and missing commas for clarity. Correct punctuation and removing duplication fixes the sentence structure.

× With the advancement of technology and digital media, I think we get lots of information and free books and articles mainly from digital devices.

✓ With the advancement of technology and digital media, I think we get lots of information, free books, and articles mainly from digital devices.

List items need proper commas. Preposition use is acceptable, but punctuation improves readability. This entry focuses on correcting prepositional phrase placement and list structure.

× Hence, I would read often in, uh, digital platforms rather than on paper because on paper we spend more money to get.

✓ Hence, I would often read on digital platforms rather than on paper because buying paper books costs more.

Use 'read on' rather than 'read in' for platforms. The clause 'we spend more money to get' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'buying paper books costs more.' Also move adverb 'often' to a natural position.

× We need to read carefully when we are dealing with, uh, important, uh, documents or articles, which has a very sensitive topic, and also when we are working on our projects or for academic purpose.

✓ We need to read carefully when we are dealing with important documents or articles that have very sensitive topics, and also when we are working on our projects or for academic purposes.

Relative clause must agree: 'which has' should be 'that have' because 'documents or articles' is plural. 'A very sensitive topic' should be pluralized to match, and 'academic purpose' should be plural 'academic purposes' for natural usage.

× That's the time when we have to be very careful or else apart from that, just reading casually, it's, it's fine.

✓ That's when we have to be very careful; apart from that, casual reading is fine.

The original is wordy and has filler words ('it's, it's'). Rewriting for concise structure removes redundancy and clarifies meaning.

× I would prefer detailed reading because I have a very short term memory, hence scanning just with one cleanse doesn't work for me.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because I have very short-term memory; hence, scanning once doesn't work for me.

Use 'prefer' for habitual preference. 'Short-term' needs a hyphen and 'memory' usually without 'a' in this context. 'With one cleanse' is incorrect — likely meant 'once' or 'one glance' — 'once' fits meaning. 'Scanning once doesn't work' uses correct verb forms.

× Hence I read carefully, especially with.

✓ Hence, I read carefully, especially when the material is important.

The phrase 'especially with' is incomplete and incorrect. Provide a complete prepositional phrase such as 'especially when the material is important' to clarify the condition.

× Sometimes I repeat the sentence again in case if it's have a sensitive topic to learn and discuss about.

✓ Sometimes I repeat the sentence if it has a sensitive topic to learn about and discuss.

'In case if' is redundant; use 'if' or 'in case'. 'It's have' is ungrammatical — use 'it has'. 'Discuss about' is incorrect; use 'discuss' or 'discuss it'. Rewording fixes pronoun and verb agreement and removes redundant prepositions.
