Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make your answer more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific supporting details (types of books or how often you read), and avoid unnecessary background or repetition. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct minor grammar (e.g., “helps me carry many books” not “helping me to show a lot of books”). Keep to 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading very much. I usually read fiction and non-fiction—mainly historical novels and popular science—because they help me relax and learn new things. I read for about an hour before bed and I now use a Kindle because it lets me carry hundreds of books in one small device.

Sugestão: Be direct and specific: state your preference clearly, explain one or two reasons concisely, and avoid uncertain phrases and invented terms (e.g., “nanotatcher” sounds unsure). Use linking words like “because” or “so” correctly and check grammar (e.g., “the same as paper”). Keep answers within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: I prefer reading on a screen now because I bought a tablet that has an e-ink display similar to paper. Because the screen reduces glare and I can adjust font size, it is more comfortable for long reading sessions. However, I still enjoy paper books for illustrations and gifts.

Sugestão: Provide clearer contrasts with specific examples and fluent linking. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give a specific example of an important document and what careful reading involves (checking facts, annotations). For less important reading, describe what “less serious” means (skimming headlines). Reduce filler words like “uh.”

Exemplo: We should read carefully when dealing with important documents, for example contracts or work reports, because we must check details and avoid mistakes. On the other hand, for casual reading such as news articles or light blogs, I usually skim headlines and only read full articles that interest me.

Sugestão: Be more precise and use linking words: give a concise conditional statement and a clear reason for each choice. Correct repetition and grammar (e.g., “in detail” not “in details”). Keep to 2–4 sentences and avoid fillers. Provide an example of when you scan and when you read in detail.

Exemplo: It depends on the purpose: I scan when I’m previewing a book or looking for specific information, such as chapter headings or keywords. However, after the introduction or for important sections, I read in detail to understand arguments and take notes.

× When I was a kid, I got a third prize in book reading because I was very good in school those days.

✓ When I was a kid, I won third prize in a book-reading competition because I was very good at school then.

Use 'won' instead of 'got' for prizes (past simple). 'Third prize' typically used without 'a' before the rank in this context is acceptable but 'won third prize' is more natural. Use 'in a book-reading competition' to clarify the event. Use 'good at' rather than 'good in', and 'then' fits better than 'those days' for a past time reference.

× Even nowadays I read a lot of books.

✓ Even nowadays I read a lot of books.

This sentence is acceptable, but 'Nowadays I read a lot of books' is more natural. No grammatical change required; present simple correctly expresses habitual action.

× I have purchased a Kindle device from Amazon, which is helping me to show a lot of books in one device and I always use that device for.

✓ I purchased a Kindle device from Amazon, which helps me store a lot of books on one device, and I always use it.

Use simple past 'purchased' or present perfect 'have purchased' consistently; simple past is fine here. 'Helping me to show' is incorrect: use 'helps me store' or 'lets me store'. 'Show' is wrong verb. Use 'on one device' not 'in one device'. End the sentence with the object 'it' rather than leaving it incomplete.

× I used to read on paper but nowadays I prefer to read on screen because I have purchased a special device which is good for reading on tablet.

✓ I used to read on paper, but nowadays I prefer reading on a screen because I bought a special device that is good for reading on a tablet.

Add a comma before 'but'. Use 'prefer reading' or 'prefer to read'. Use 'on a screen' and 'on a tablet' with articles. 'I have purchased' can be 'I bought' (simple past) to match 'used to'; both are acceptable. Use 'that' instead of 'which' for essential clause.

× So this device has some special kind of screen on it which is called nanotatcher and which is all which is same as the papers one.

✓ This device has a special kind of screen called a 'nanotatcher', which is very similar to paper.

Simplify the structure: 'called a nanotatcher' names the screen. 'Which is all which is same as the papers one' is ungrammatical. Use 'very similar to paper' or 'similar to paper' and use correct articles: 'paper' not 'papers one'.

× I think when we are reading some important document or some reports, then we need to read it carefully.

✓ I think when we are reading an important document or a report, we need to read it carefully.

Use singular consistent forms: 'an important document or a report' or plural both: 'important documents or reports'. 'Then' is unnecessary. Use 'read it carefully' is fine.

× But in case if we are reading some kind of articles or newspaper which doesn't have some importance in our life, then we can take it in uh, some less serious manner.

✓ But if we are reading kinds of articles or a newspaper that is not important to us, we can take it in a less serious manner.

Do not use 'in case if'; choose 'if' or 'in case'. Match number: 'kinds of articles' or 'some articles'; 'newspaper' may need article 'a' or 'the'. Use 'that is not important to us' (not 'doesn't have some importance in our life'). 'Some less serious manner' -> 'a less serious manner' or better 'a more casual way'.

× It depends what kind of book or what kind of paragraph I'm reading.

✓ It depends on what kind of book or paragraph I'm reading.

Add preposition 'on' after 'depends'. Omit repeated 'what kind of' before 'paragraph' for conciseness.

× If I'm reading some kind of book, uh, which is in the beginning, then I prefer scanning.

✓ If I'm reading a book that is at the beginning, I prefer scanning.

Use 'that is at the beginning' or 'in the beginning' -> 'at the beginning' is clearer. 'Some kind of book' can be simplified to 'a book'. 'Then' is unnecessary.

× But uh, once I pass the introduction part, then I prefer to read it in it in details.

✓ But once I get past the introduction, I prefer to read it in detail.

Use 'get past the introduction' or 'pass the introduction'. Remove duplicate 'in it in'. Use 'in detail' (not 'in details'). 'Then' is unnecessary.
