Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and correct grammar (e.g., 'non-fiction books' and subject-verb agreement). Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds like 'uh'.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading because it helps me relax and learn new things. For example, I often read non-fiction books about history and psychology, which teach me practical insights. In contrast to fiction, these books feel calmer and more informative.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct topic sentence and give two specific reasons using linking words; remove fillers and repetition. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., 'eye strain' instead of 'hurts my eyes').

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because screens cause eye strain and often give me headaches after prolonged use. Additionally, paper feels more comfortable to hold, so I can read for longer without discomfort.

Gợi ý: Good structure and contrast. Improve by correcting minor grammar ('study-related', 'free time') and by adding a specific example to make the answer more concrete.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when studying academic articles or textbooks because I must understand and remember key points, such as formulas or dates. However, in my free time I skim romantic novels for enjoyment, skipping scenes that seem less relevant to the plot.

Gợi ý: Give a clearer stance: either prefer scanning but acknowledge exceptions. Remove hesitation and repetition; use linking words to explain reasons and conditions. Provide a concise example of when each method is used.

Ví dụ: I generally prefer scanning because it saves time and helps me find key information quickly. However, when I study for exams or read technical material, I use detailed reading to fully understand the content.

× Yes, I'm really into reading because it's a relaxing activity and also my favorite type of book to read is a non fiction books.

✓ Yes, I'm really into reading because it's a relaxing activity and also my favorite type of book to read is a non-fiction book.

The phrase combines singular 'type' with plural 'books' and misses the article/hyphen. Use singular 'book' after 'type of' and include the article 'a' and hyphenate 'non-fiction' because it is a compound adjective modifying 'book'. Suggestion: say 'my favorite type of book is a non-fiction book' or more simply 'my favorite type of book is non-fiction.'

× I think that type of book, uh, help me to gain some knowledge and also it's not as dramatic as uh, the fiction, so I find very calming.

✓ I think that type of book, uh, helps me to gain some knowledge and also it's not as dramatic as fiction, so I find it very calming.

The subject 'that type of book' is singular, so the verb must be 'helps' (third person singular). Also 'the fiction' is incorrect here; use the uncountable noun 'fiction' without 'the'. Add the pronoun 'it' before 'very calming' for grammatical completeness. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with singular subjects and avoid unnecessary articles with genres.

× And also sometimes I also have a headache from, you know, staring too long on the screen.

✓ And sometimes I get a headache from, you know, staring at the screen for too long.

Use 'get a headache' rather than 'have a headache' for this context and use the preposition 'at' with 'staring'. Also place 'for too long' after the object for natural word order and remove duplicate 'also'. Suggestion: prefer 'get' for experiencing headaches and use correct prepositions.

× So yes, uh, the paper please.

✓ So yes, paper please.

When offering a preference in this brief spoken form, the definite article 'the' is unnecessary before 'paper'. Removing 'the' sounds more natural. Suggestion: use 'paper please' or 'on paper, please.'

× Most of the time I read carefully, especially when it's study related material, because I need to understand and remember the information.

✓ Most of the time I read carefully, especially when it's study-related material, because I need to understand and remember the information.

'Study-related' should be hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before a noun. Also the sentence is otherwise correct. Suggestion: use hyphenation for compound adjectives.

× However, when I have a free time and read romantic fiction for pleasure, I often skim the text and focus only on the interesting parts.

✓ However, when I have free time and read romantic fiction for pleasure, I often skim the text and focus only on the interesting parts.

'Free time' is uncountable, so do not use the article 'a'. Remove 'a' to be correct. Suggestion: use 'free time' without 'a.'

× Well, I mean, if I have a choice, I will prefer scanning because it's, uh, energy saving.

✓ Well, I mean, if I have a choice, I would prefer scanning because it's, uh, energy-saving.

After 'if I have a choice' (a hypothetical present preference), use 'would prefer' rather than 'will prefer' for a polite or hypothetical statement. Also hyphenate 'energy-saving' as a compound adjective. Suggestion: use 'would prefer' for preferences and hyphenate compound adjectives.

× But you know, detailed reading is necessary in most of the time.

✓ But you know, detailed reading is necessary most of the time.

Use 'most of the time' without 'in' here; 'necessary most of the time' is the correct idiomatic order. Suggestion: remove 'in' for natural phrasing.

× So uh, yes, I, I have no choice but to read in detail.

✓ So, uh, yes, I have no choice but to read in detail.

Repeating the filler 'I' is a spoken hesitation; remove the duplicate for a cleaner sentence. The sentence is otherwise correct. Suggestion: in written form, eliminate repeated words used as fillers.
