Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is positive and shows enthusiasm, but it has some repetition and an unfinished sentence. To improve, give a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details (why you enjoy reading, what kinds of books). Keep it concise (no more than 4–5 sentences) and avoid repeating phrases. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes, I love reading because it helps me relax and learn new things. For example, I read at least one page every day, usually in the evening, which helps me unwind. I also enjoy book shopping because I like discovering new authors and collecting beautiful editions.

Gợi ý: Good clear preference and reason. To improve, correct a few word choices and make the explanation more specific: replace informal phrases and add a linking phrase to make it coherent. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use precise vocabulary (e.g., "prefer paper" not "on the paper site").

Ví dụ: I strongly prefer reading on paper because it helps me concentrate and feel immersed in the text. When I read on a screen, I often get distracted and end up scrolling like on social media, so I don't retain as much. Therefore, I usually buy physical books for long reads.

Gợi ý: Your response addresses the question but has unclear wording and a small mistake ('nose' instead of 'novels'). Improve clarity by directly stating the situations requiring careful reading and giving a specific example of what careful reading involves. Avoid repeating 'mostly' and use linking words like 'however' to contrast the two situations.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when studying academic essays or technical articles because I have to understand arguments and remember details. However, when I read novels—especially romance novels—I read for enjoyment and don't focus on every detail, so I relax and read more quickly.

Gợi ý: You convey your preference clearly, but the answer has awkward phrasing and repetitions. Improve by using concise sentences and clearer examples. Explain briefly why you prefer detailed reading and how it helps you, using linking words such as 'for example' or 'because'.

Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading because I like to understand and remember everything in a text. For example, when I read a book or watch a film, I pay attention to characters and themes so I can discuss or reflect on them later.

× I love reading. Actually, I try to read even one page in a day.

✓ I love reading. Actually, I try to read at least one page a day.

The phrase 'even one page in a day' is awkward and not idiomatic in English. Use 'at least one page a day' to express minimum frequency. This corrects present tense habitual action and makes the sentence natural. Suggestion: use 'at least' for minimum amounts and 'a day' for daily frequency.

× I have a lot of books and I love book shopping too, because it makes me feel so good.

✓ I have a lot of books, and I love book shopping too because it makes me feel so good.

Comma use and coordination: add a comma before 'and' joining independent clauses for clarity. The phrase 'a lot of books' is correct; no quantifier error beyond punctuation. Suggestion: include a comma before coordinating conjunctions joining independent clauses.

× It makes me feel.

✓ It makes me feel happy.

The sentence 'It makes me feel.' is incomplete because 'feel' requires a complement (an adjective or noun). Adding 'happy' completes the thought. Suggestion: always provide an object or complement after verbs like 'feel'.

× I'm extremely on the paper site because reading on paper makes me feel like reading, unlike on screen.

✓ I'm definitely on the paper side because reading on paper makes me feel like reading, unlike on a screen.

Wrong prepositions/word choice: 'on the paper site' should be 'on the paper side'. Also use 'on a screen' or 'on-screen' to refer to screens. 'Extremely' is odd here; 'definitely' or 'strongly' is better. Suggestion: use 'side' for preferences and 'on a screen' for general screen reading.

× When I read on screen it makes me feel like I'm scrolling on social media so I don't really feel productive.

✓ When I read on a screen, it makes me feel like I'm scrolling through social media, so I don't really feel productive.

Missing comma after introductory clause; add 'a' before 'screen' and use 'scrolling through social media' which is idiomatic. The verb forms are correct. Suggestion: include articles and commas and use 'through' with 'scrolling'.

× I need to read carefully when I'm reading an academic essay, but I mostly read novels and mostly about romantic relationships.

✓ I need to read carefully when I'm reading an academic essay, but I mostly read novels, mostly about romantic relationships.

Repetition of 'mostly' is stylistically awkward; keep one 'mostly'. The tense is present habitual and correct. Suggestion: remove redundant words to improve fluency.

× So when I read that type of nose, I don't need to be careful.

✓ So when I read that type of novel, I don't need to be careful.

Typo/misused word 'nose' should be 'novel'. This is a lexical error rather than grammar, but it affects comprehension. Suggestion: proofread for typos and ensure correct noun is used.

× I've never been a scanning person.

✓ I've never been a scanning type of person.

The phrase 'a scanning person' is slightly awkward; 'a scanning type of person' or 'someone who scans texts' is clearer. Suggestion: rephrase to 'someone who scans' or 'a scanning type of person' for natural speech.

× I'd like to do detailed whatever I did.

✓ I'd like to do things in detail, whatever I do.

Original sentence has incorrect word order and tense mismatch. Use 'do things in detail' and keep present tense 'do' for habitual preference. Suggestion: use 'in detail' to describe manner and keep verbs consistent in tense.

× For example, when I watch a movie or read a book, it doesn't change.

✓ For example, when I watch a movie or read a book, that doesn't change.

Add 'that' to refer back to the preference; present tense is appropriate. Suggestion: include pronouns like 'that' to clarify antecedents.

× I'd like to do things detailed when I do them and learn every little thing in it.

✓ I'd like to do things in detail when I do them and learn every little thing in them.

Use the adverbial phrase 'in detail' instead of adjective 'detailed' to describe how you do things. Also 'in it' should be 'in them' to agree with plural 'things'. Suggestion: use 'in detail' for manner and ensure pronoun agreement in number.
