Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Start with a direct, concise topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and reduce hesitation. Also use varied vocabulary (e.g., “study” instead of repeating “read”) and correct small grammar issues (e.g., article use and verb forms).

Ví dụ: I don’t read much for pleasure, but I read often for my studies. For example, I regularly revise college notes and textbooks before exams, and I rarely read novels or biographies because I prefer practical study material.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear preference sentence, then give two concise, specific reasons linked with connectors (e.g., 'because' or 'so'). Fix pronoun use (use 'me' instead of 'us' when speaking personally) and tighten phrasing to sound more natural.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because the text is easier to view and I can highlight or annotate important points. Also, it helps me cut down on screen time, which is useful since I spend a lot of time on digital devices.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a topic sentence describing both situations, then give specific examples and use linking words to contrast (‘however’, ‘but’, ‘when’). Remove fillers like 'uh' and repeat fewer words. Improve grammar and phrasing for clarity.

Ví dụ: I read carefully when the information is important or relevant to me, for example, detailed news about an accident or developments in my field. However, if an article is not interesting or relevant, I usually skim it just to get the main points.

Gợi ý: Give a direct preference statement, then add two specific benefits linked clearly (e.g., 'because' and 'for example'). Use more natural phrasing ('broaden my horizons') and correct plural/singular and article errors.

Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading because it allows me to understand topics thoroughly and learn new ideas. For example, when I study an article in depth I remember more and can apply the information later, which broadens my horizons.

× No, I don't often read, but yes I read when I need to learn my academics, such as I need to revise my college work for the test or exams.

✓ No, I don't often read, but I do read when I need to study for my academic work, such as when I need to revise my college work for tests or exams.

The sentence mixes structures and has awkward phrasing. Use present simple consistently for habitual actions (I don't often read; I do read when I need to study). Replace 'learn my academics' with 'study for my academic work' and 'for the test or exams' with 'for tests or exams' for correct plural and natural phrasing. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× I do so but as I don't prefer reading novels or biographies.

✓ I do, but I don't prefer reading novels or biographies.

The original has an unnecessary 'so' and awkward connector 'as'. Remove 'so' and use a simple contrastive conjunction 'but'. Ensure pronoun usage is clear: 'I do' refers back to reading when necessary. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× I prefer to read on paper as it helps us to see everything clearly and we can also mark the things which we have doubt or are important.

✓ I prefer to read on paper as it helps me see everything clearly, and I can also mark things that I have doubts about or that are important.

Pronouns should match the speaker: use 'me' and 'I' instead of 'us' and 'we'. Also correct relative clause and preposition: 'things which we have doubt' -> 'things that I have doubts about'. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× Besides this, it also reduces our screen time in the modern world as we are more prone to using this.

✓ Besides that, it also reduces our screen time in the modern world, where we are more prone to using screens.

Use 'that' rather than 'this' and avoid vague 'this'. 'Using this' is unclear; replace with 'using screens'. Also change clause to 'where we are more prone' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID: 11

× I think while going through the recent and important topics such as on newspapers, if I am reading a recent accident, I read thoroughly, but when I think that it's not of my interest, I just go through that to uh, just to get the main point of that topic.

✓ I think when I read recent and important topics, such as news in newspapers, I read thoroughly; but if I find something not of interest, I just skim it to get the main point.

Original sentence is long, repetitive and has awkward phrasing ('such as on newspapers', 'if I am reading a recent accident'). Simplify and restructure: 'when I read recent and important topics' and 'news in newspapers'. Replace 'go through that to uh, just to get' with 'skim it to get' for concise, natural phrasing. Grammar problem type ID: 26

× Honestly speaking, I prefer detailed reading as it helps us to invest our time into productive thing rather than just going through the topic.

✓ Honestly, I prefer detailed reading, as it helps me invest my time in productive things rather than just skimming a topic.

Use consistent pronoun 'me' instead of 'us'. 'Helps us to invest' -> 'helps me invest'. Preposition: 'invest time in' is correct. 'Productive thing' should be plural 'productive things'. Also 'going through the topic' is better as 'skimming a topic'. Grammar problem type ID: 4

× It helps to increase our horizons and to learn new things.

✓ It helps me broaden my horizons and learn new things.

Use first-person singular to match speaker: 'me' and 'my'. 'Increase our horizons' is unnatural; 'broaden my horizons' is the correct idiom. Remove unnecessary 'to' before 'learn'. Grammar problem type ID: 12
