Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be careful with grammar and word choice. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and give one brief supporting detail. Avoid redundancies and unnecessary words. Also use accurate vocabulary (manga, not mangas; wish, not wishes; ‘a Japanese anime written in book’ is unclear).

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. I mostly read manga because I like the artwork and storylines. For example, I follow several series that combine interesting plots with strong character development.

Sugerencia: Make a concise direct statement, correct grammar (preference, singular/plural, article use), and organize reasons with a linking word. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and give a specific reason why you choose screen or paper.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on a screen. Currently I use my iPad and phone because they are convenient and let me carry many books at once, so I usually read digitally when I travel.

Sugerencia: Answer both parts clearly with a topic sentence, then give one specific reason for each. Reduce fillers (uh, yeah) and avoid vague phrases. Use linking words (however, whereas) to contrast the two situations.

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully during exams such as the IELTS reading test because tasks like sentence matching and heading matching require close attention to detail. However, when I read leisure material like manga or light stories, I usually skim because the plots are easy to remember.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear preference statement, correct repetition and word choice, and give a concise reason with an example. Use linking words (so, however, but) appropriately and avoid repeating phrases like 'these days'.

Ejemplo: I prefer scanning rather than detailed reading at the moment because I find it hard to concentrate for long periods. However, if a section looks important or interesting, I slow down and read it in detail to understand it fully.

× Yes, I do like to read and most of the time I read mangas.

✓ Yes, I do like to read and most of the time I read manga.

'Manga' is an uncountable or mass noun in English when referring to the medium or comics in general, so it should not take a plural -s. Use 'manga' for both singular and plural. Also keep verb tense as present simple to match 'I do like'.

× I wishes a Japanese anime written in book.

✓ I wish for a Japanese anime to be written as a book.

The verb 'wish' must agree with the subject 'I' and take the base form 'wish' (not 'wishes' which is third-person singular). The original sentence also has incorrect structure: 'anime written in book' is ungrammatical. Use an infinitive phrase 'to be written as a book' or say 'I wish a Japanese anime were written as a book.' Choose 'I wish for... to be written' for clarity.

× I really don't have that much of preferences, but if I have to answer this question and for currently I use my iPad and phone most of the time, so reading on one of them device could be the best.

✓ I really don't have that many preferences, but if I have to answer this question, currently I use my iPad and phone most of the time, so reading on one of those devices would be best.

'Preferences' is countable plural, so use 'many' not 'much' and omit 'of'. 'For currently' is unnatural; use 'currently'. 'One of them device' is incorrect: use the plural demonstrative 'those devices'. 'Could be the best' is better as 'would be best' to match hypothetical preference.

× I have to read carefully when I'm giving my IELTS reading exam because most of the time, uh, the sentence matching and matching headings are very difficult.

✓ I have to read carefully when I take my IELTS reading exam because, most of the time, sentence matching and matching headings are very difficult.

Use 'take' rather than 'giving' for exams in English. Also remove redundant article 'the' before 'sentence matching' and avoid repeating 'matching'. Keep present simple 'are' for general statements.

× But when I'm reading anything in general, like manga or any stories, I can easily memorize it or yeah, it's easy to go through.

✓ But when I'm reading anything in general, like manga or stories, I can easily remember it or, yeah, it's easy to get through.

'Memorize it' is acceptable but 'remember it' is more natural here. 'Any stories' should be 'stories' (no 'any' needed). 'Go through' is fine but 'get through' with a task or text is more idiomatic. Keep pronoun 'it' referring clearly to 'a story' or 'manga'.

× These days I really don't do the detailed reading because I don't have that very good attention or reading habit these days.

✓ These days I really don't do detailed reading because I don't have very good attention or a reading habit.

Omit the article 'the' before 'detailed reading'. 'That very good' is awkward; use 'very good'. Avoid repeating 'these days'. Add article 'a' before 'reading habit'.

× So most of the time I do scanning and read it carefully if I find something interesting on that part.

✓ So most of the time I scan and read carefully if I find something interesting in that part.

Use the verb 'scan' rather than the noun phrase 'do scanning'. After 'read' omit object 'it' or use 'the text' if needed. Use preposition 'in' for 'in that part' rather than 'on'. 'Read carefully' is more natural word order.
