Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?

I think it depends. When I'm doing the iOS reading test, I prefer scanning and scheming to find answers quickly because time is limited. But when I read ordinary books, I prefer details reading to fully understand the plot and characters.

× You like reading? Yes, I am really into reading because is help me to learn new things.
✓ You like reading? Yes, I am really into reading because it helps me to learn new things.
The pronoun 'is' is incorrect; use 'it' to refer to reading. Also use third person singular verb 'helps' to agree with singular subject 'it' (reading). Suggestion: use 'it helps' for correct subject-pronoun agreement.
× And it also helped me relax.
✓ And it also helps me relax.
The student mixed past tense 'helped' with present context about a general habit. Use present tense 'helps' to describe an ongoing benefit. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual or general statements.
× I prefer reading on paper because it feel more natural and comfortable to me.
✓ I prefer reading on paper because it feels more natural and comfortable to me.
The verb 'feel' needs third person singular form 'feels' to agree with subject 'it' (reading on paper). Suggestion: ensure -s on verbs in present simple with he/she/it.
× I especially love the smell and and textures of books which make me reading more enjoyable whereas reading on a screen can.
✓ I especially love the smell and textures of books, which make my reading more enjoyable, whereas reading on a screen can be less pleasant.
There is a duplicated 'and' and a faulty clause 'make me reading' should be 'make my reading' or 'make reading'. Also 'can' at end is incomplete; add 'be less pleasant' to complete comparison. Suggestion: remove duplicate words, use correct possessive or gerund forms, and complete clauses.
× Recently I start reading more books.
✓ Recently I have started reading more books.
Use present perfect 'have started' to link recent action to present, especially with 'recently'. Simple present 'start' is incorrect for this context. Suggestion: use present perfect for recent changes or states.
× I read carefully when the method is technical, for example instruction or training guides, because I need to know further details.
✓ I read carefully when the material is technical, for example instructions or training guides, because I need to know further details.
'the method' is unnatural; 'material' or 'text' fits better. 'Instruction' should be plural 'instructions' or 'an instruction'. Suggestion: choose correct noun and pluralize where general plural is intended.
× But I usually skim article or social media posts when I just want to.
✓ But I usually skim articles or social media posts when I just want to.
Use plural 'articles' to match plural 'social media posts' and generalize the noun. Also sentence ends abruptly but grammatically acceptable; context suggests 'when I just want to get the gist' could be added. Suggestion: pluralize countable nouns when speaking generally.
× When I'm doing the iOS reading test, I prefer scanning and scheming to find answers quickly because time is limited.
✓ When I'm doing the iOS reading test, I prefer scanning and skimming to find answers quickly because time is limited.
The word 'scheming' is inappropriate here; the correct word is 'skimming' meaning reading quickly. Use gerund forms 'scanning' and 'skimming' consistently. Suggestion: use correct vocabulary and parallel gerund forms.
× But when I read ordinary books, I prefer details reading to fully understand the plot and characters.
✓ But when I read ordinary books, I prefer detailed reading to fully understand the plot and characters.
Use adjective 'detailed' before noun 'reading' rather than 'details reading'. 'Detailed reading' correctly describes the type of reading. Suggestion: use adjective form to modify nouns.
