× Reading not only bring us more knowledge but also take us into another work, a more peaceful and magical world I think.
✓ Reading not only brings us more knowledge but also takes us into another world, a more peaceful and magical one, I think.
Subject-verb agreement error: 'Reading' is a singular gerund subject so verbs must be singular ('brings', 'takes'). 'Work' is contextually incorrect; 'world' fits meaning. Added commas and 'one' for clarity and natural phrasing. Grammar problem type ID:27
× And when I wo when I'm reading, I will feel relaxed and calm.
✓ And when I'm reading, I feel relaxed and calm.
Sentence contains typographical repetition and incorrect tense/modal use. Remove the stray 'wo when' and use present progressive 'I'm reading' with simple present result 'I feel' for habitual/current truth rather than 'will feel'. Grammar problem type ID:10
× I prefer to read on paper, while nowadays read on a screen is extremely popular because it is more convenient and save our times.
✓ I prefer to read on paper, while nowadays reading on a screen is extremely popular because it is more convenient and saves our time.
Use gerund 'reading' as the noun subject. 'Save' needs third-person singular 'saves' to agree with 'it'. 'Times' is uncountable here; use 'time'. Grammar problem type ID:8
× But I think screen will bring radiation which is bad for our eyes.
✓ But I think screens can emit radiation, which is bad for our eyes.
Use plural 'screens' or 'a screen' for general statements; 'can emit' is more natural than 'will bring'. Added comma before 'which'. Grammar problem type ID:17
× To be honest, when I have a test, I must need to read carefully, especially some long boring articles.
✓ To be honest, when I have a test, I need to read carefully, especially long, boring articles.
Redundant modal construction 'must need' is incorrect; use 'need' or 'must'. Removed 'some' since 'articles' is fine; added comma between adjectives 'long, boring'. Grammar problem type ID:4
× But when I read some novels when I was free, I can read randomly.
✓ But when I'm free and read novels, I can read them randomly.
Tense inconsistency: 'when I was free' (past) conflicts with 'I can' (present). Use present 'I'm free' for habitual situation. Added object 'them' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:6
× I prefer detailed reading. I think scanning will let me lose some details that is very funny and important to our understanding.
✓ I prefer detailed reading. I think scanning causes me to miss some details that are very important to our understanding.
'Will let me lose' is awkward; use 'causes me to miss' or 'makes me miss'. 'Details' is plural so use 'are' not 'is'. 'Funny' is likely the wrong adjective; removed it or replaced with 'important'. Grammar problem type ID:27
