E-books— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more grammatical, fluent and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, remove fillers (uh), correct tense and phrasing, and add one specific reason or example. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, because, so). Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer paper books because I find them easier to concentrate on and remember. For example, when I study, I underline and make notes in the margins, which helps me retain information. Therefore I still choose paper books over e-books.

Sugerencia: Respond with a clear topic sentence and reduce repetition. Provide a specific time or situation and one supporting detail. Use linking words like however or recently correctly and avoid repeating phrases.

Ejemplo: I usually read online when I am studying for exams. Recently, I have been preparing for a health exam, so I often read articles on ieltsfever.com on my laptop in the evenings to practise exam tasks.

Sugerencia: Give a clear prediction and a specific reason with one example. Remove hesitations and unnecessary phrases. Use a linking word (for instance) and keep it within 2–3 sentences to be natural and effective.

Ejemplo: Yes, I expect to read more online because it is convenient and portable. For instance, I often read articles or e-books on my phone during the bus commute instead of carrying a paper book.

Sugerencia: Start with a topic sentence naming genres, then give a specific context and one example. Avoid repetition and improve grammar (e.g., 'sometimes', 'specialy' -> 'especially'). Use linking words such as 'also' or 'however' appropriately.

Ejemplo: I mainly like reading stories and novels online, especially during short breaks at work. For example, I often open a story on my phone during my lunch break, although I sometimes borrow paper books from the small workplace library.

Sugerencia: Provide a balanced comparison with clear linking words (however, because) and specific details. Correct grammar (e.g., 'a big disadvantage', 'affect your eyes') and avoid wordiness. Keep to 2–3 sentences: one stating the main difference and one supporting reason/example.

Ejemplo: Reading online is more convenient and portable because you can access many books on one device. However, it can strain your eyes after long periods of screen use, which is why I prefer paper books for extended reading sessions.

× When I was kid, schools were made us to learn by paper books.

✓ When I was a kid, schools made us learn from paper books.

Missing article 'a' before 'kid' and incorrect passive construction 'were made us to learn'. Use active past tense 'made us learn from' and preposition 'from' for source. Suggestion: include articles and use simple past active verbs for actions that happened in the past.

× From that time I have the habit of UH paper books.

✓ Since then I have had the habit of reading paper books.

The original mixes time expressions incorrectly. 'From that time' should be 'Since then' and present perfect requires 'have had' to show a habit started in the past and continues. Also add 'reading' to clarify the habit and remove filler 'UH'.

× Right now. I also use to read UH paper books because uh in this way I can easily understand the text and get enough knowledge.

✓ Right now, I also usually read paper books because in this way I can easily understand the text and gain enough knowledge.

'Use to' with reference to current habitual action is incorrect; use 'usually' or 'tend to' for present habits. Sentence fragment 'Right now.' should be attached. Replace 'get' with 'gain' for more natural collocation. Remove filler 'UH'.

× There is not a specific occasion when I read online.

✓ There is no specific occasion when I read online.

'There is not' is grammatically acceptable but 'There is no' is more natural collocation. This corrects negative construction.

× However, these days I am preparing for my health exam and and I am using a laptop and there is a website calledieltsfever.com I use to read.

✓ However, these days I am preparing for my health exam and I am using a laptop to read a website called ieltsfever.com.

Remove duplicate 'and and'. Combine clauses for clarity. Use 'to read' to show purpose and correct spacing in the website name. Avoid 'I use to read' which incorrectly uses 'use to'.

× I am using this website to read online to prepare my exam.

✓ I am using this website to read online and prepare for my exam.

Redundant 'to' structure; join purposes with 'and' and use correct preposition 'for' with 'prepare' ('prepare for an exam').

× I am trying to get the habit of reading online because I believe that it's, uh, easy and convenient.

✓ I am trying to develop the habit of reading online because I believe it is easy and convenient.

'Get the habit of' is nonstandard; use 'develop the habit of' or 'get into the habit of'. Replace contraction and remove filler 'uh'.

× For instance, when I travel to work, I can read in bus or, uh, any other kind of, uh, travel transport vehicle on my cell phone rather than, uh, keeping a book with me.

✓ For instance, when I travel to work, I can read on my cell phone in the bus or in any other kind of public transport, rather than carrying a book with me.

Use 'on my cell phone' and 'in the bus' or 'on the bus' (either 'on the bus' or 'in the bus' acceptable depending on dialect); 'travel transport vehicle' is incorrect — use 'public transport'. Use 'carrying' instead of 'keeping' for natural collocation. Remove fillers.

× I always enjoy stories and novels whenever I have time, specially at work if I have my break and I always turn on the website on my cell phone and restart reading the story books.

✓ I always enjoy stories and novels whenever I have time, especially at work during my break; I turn on the website on my cell phone and continue reading the storybooks.

'Specially' is incorrect form; use 'especially'. 'Restart reading' is awkward — 'continue reading' is better. 'Story books' can be 'storybooks' or 'stories'.

× At at my work there is a little library which have paper books.

✓ At my work there is a small library that has paper books.

Duplicate 'At at' should be one 'At'. Use 'small' instead of 'little' for place description. Subject-verb agreement: 'library' is singular so use 'has' not 'have'. Replace 'which' with 'that' for defining clause.

× Sometime I also use that.

✓ Sometimes I also use it.

'Sometime' should be 'Sometimes' for frequency adverb. 'That' refers to 'library' (singular place) or 'books' but 'it' is clearer for the library. Use plural/singular consistently.

× Well, as I mentioned earlier, it could be convenient and portable.

✓ Well, as I mentioned earlier, it can be convenient and portable.

'Could be' expresses possibility; if referring to a general fact use 'can be' for ability/typical characteristic.

× You don't have to carry any book with you.

✓ You do not have to carry any books with you.

'Any book' is acceptable but 'any books' is more natural when referring to carrying books in general. Use 'do not' for formality if desired.

× However, I believe that there is a big disadvantages of this practice, such as it would affect your eyes if you will continue to watch on the cell phone on.

✓ However, I believe that there are big disadvantages to this practice; for example, it can affect your eyes if you continue to look at your cell phone.

'There is a big disadvantages' has article and number mismatch: use 'there are' for plural. Use 'disadvantages to this practice' (preposition). Replace conditional 'would...if you will continue' with 'can...if you continue' and use 'look at' rather than 'watch on' and remove trailing 'on'.

× That's why I prefer paper books.

✓ That is why I prefer paper books.

Contraction 'That's' is acceptable in speech; expanded 'That is' is more formal. No major grammar error; included for completeness.
