Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be careful with grammar and unnecessary repetition. Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid repeating the examiner's question, correct tense/forms (e.g., “I would definitely say” → “I definitely say” or better “I definitely love reading”), and fix subject–verb agreement (“it helps,” not “it's helps”). Keep at most 3–4 short sentences and add one specific detail to enrich your answer.

Ví dụ: I definitely love reading because it helps me relax and pick up new ideas. I mainly read business books and technology journals, which keep me updated with industry trends. For example, I recently read an article about AI applications in finance that gave me practical ideas for my work.

Gợi ý: Good clear answer and specific reason. Improve grammar and word choice: use correct verb forms (“when I'm traveling and commuting”), avoid repeating “main reason” and combine sentences with linking words (e.g., “because” or “so”). Add one concrete example or brief comparison to paper to strengthen your point.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on a screen because it's more convenient when I'm traveling and commuting. For instance, I can download articles on my phone and read them on the train, whereas carrying several paper books would be bulky.

Gợi ý: Clear and well-structured answer. Improve phrasing and add a linking phrase to enhance coherence (e.g., “On the other hand” or “However”). Replace “when I am waiting for entertainment” with a more natural phrase like “when I'm reading for entertainment.” Optionally give a brief example of what careful reading involves (e.g., noting details, checking sources).

Ví dụ: I read carefully when the information is important, such as academic journals or business reports, because I need to understand details and verify facts. On the other hand, when I'm reading for entertainment I skim to get the main idea quickly, for example when browsing short stories online.

Gợi ý: There are vocabulary and grammar errors and a confusing word choice (“wedding” likely intended “reading purpose”; “skinning” should be “skimming”). Correct pronunciation/word choice and verb forms (“analyzing” or “analyse” consistent tense). Start with a clear topic sentence and use linking words to contrast the two modes. Give a short specific example of each reading style.

Ví dụ: It depends on my purpose for reading. If I'm reading for entertainment, I usually skim to enjoy the story quickly; for example, I skim online blogs or short fiction. However, when I'm studying or preparing a report, I read in detail and take notes to understand key points.

× Do you like reading? Yes, I would definitely said I love reading.

✓ Yes, I would definitely say I love reading.

The student used 'said' (past tense) after 'would', creating a direct/tense mismatch. 'Would' + base verb requires the base form 'say'. Use 'would say' to express a polite opinion. Suggestion: use 'would say' or simply 'I definitely love reading.'

× The main reasons is that it's helps me to relax and learn ideas at the same time.

✓ The main reason is that it helps me relax and learn new ideas at the same time.

Plural 'reasons' conflicts with singular verb 'is' and 'it's helps' is incorrect: 'it helps' or 'helps me'. Correct subject-verb agreement: use 'reason' singular with 'is' and 'it helps' (no 's' on contraction+verb). Also remove unnecessary 'to' after 'helps' and add 'new' for clarity. Suggestion: match singular/plural subjects with verbs and avoid 'it's helps'.

× For example, I usually read business books and journal articles related to technology.

✓ For example, I usually read business books and journal articles related to technology.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present simple for habitual action. No correction needed.

× I would say I prefer reading on screen.

✓ I would say I prefer reading on a screen.

Add article 'a' before 'screen' for natural phrasing. 'Would say' is a correct modal phrase expressing opinion. Suggestion: include the article when referring to 'a screen'.

× The main reason is that it's more convenient, especially when I'm travel and commuting.

✓ The main reason is that it's more convenient, especially when I'm traveling and commuting.

After 'I'm' a present participle is required: 'traveling' not base 'travel'. Also 'traveling and commuting' are both gerunds describing ongoing actions. Use correct verb form. Suggestion: use present participle after 'be' + 'I am'.

× For example, I can easily read articles on my phone or tablet.

✓ For example, I can easily read articles on my phone or tablet.

This sentence is correct in present ability using 'can'. No correction needed.

× I usually read carefully when the information is important, such as academic journals and business reports.

✓ I usually read carefully when the information is important, such as in academic journals and business reports.

Original mostly correct, but adding 'in' makes the prepositional phrase natural. Suggestion: include 'in' before examples of sources.

× However, when I am waiting for entertainment, I tend to read more quickly and focus on the main idea.

✓ However, when I am reading for entertainment, I tend to read more quickly and focus on the main idea.

'Waiting for entertainment' is unnatural; the intended meaning is 'reading for entertainment'. Replace 'waiting' with 'reading'. Suggestion: use correct verb to match context.

× It depends on the purpose of the wedding.

✓ It depends on the purpose of the reading.

'Wedding' is incorrect contextually; likely a word choice error. The sentence should refer to 'reading'. Suggestion: ensure vocabulary matches context.

× If I just go for entertainment, I prefer skinning.

✓ If I just read for entertainment, I prefer skimming.

'Skinned' is wrong; intended verb 'skim' with gerund 'skimming'. Also 'go for entertainment' is awkward; use 'read for entertainment'. Suggestion: use correct verb 'skim' and gerund form 'skimming'.

× However, when I'm studying and analyse some information that is important, I prefer detailed reading.

✓ However, when I'm studying and analysing some important information, I prefer detailed reading.

After 'I'm' use present participle 'analysing' (verb+ -ing). Also adjust word order to 'important information'. Suggestion: use consistent -ing forms after 'I am' and place adjectives before nouns.
