Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons or examples. Avoid unnecessary phrases like “to be honest” unless adding emphasis; also correct small grammar issues (e.g., parallel structure: “playing video games or taking a nap”).

Ejemplo: I don't really enjoy reading. I usually prefer activities like playing video games or taking a nap in my free time because they help me relax more quickly than reading.

Sugerencia: Give a direct topic sentence, then one clear, specific reason. Avoid repetition (e.g., two ‘because’ clauses) and fix small grammar issues (say “on paper” not “on a paper”; use ‘strike’ → ‘strike’ should be ‘strike’ or rephrase). Keep it to two sentences max.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper. Screens often make my eyes feel strained and dizzy due to the bright light, so paper feels much more comfortable for longer reading sessions.

Sugerencia: Structure the response: state the two situations clearly (when careful, when not), then give concise reasons. Avoid filler words (“uh”, “and so on”) and correct tense/grammar (e.g., “when I just read novels”). Be specific about what makes reading require care (instructions, technical details).

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when doing assignments because I must understand instructions and technical details. I don't read carefully when I'm reading novels for fun, since the exact wording usually isn't critical.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence that answers directly, then give two specific examples and use linking words (e.g., “for example,” “however”). Remove fillers like “umm you know.” Correct small grammar (e.g., “scan the main points” rather than “scan the whole points”).

Ejemplo: It depends on the material. For example, I read articles in detail to understand arguments and evidence; however, if I'm looking for quick information I scan the main points or summaries.

× I would prefer to spend my leisure time with other types of activities such as playing video games or even take a nap.

✓ I would prefer to spend my leisure time with other types of activities such as playing video games or even taking a nap.

After expressions like 'prefer to' + verb, when listing parallel activities introduced by 'such as', verbs should use the same form. 'Playing' and 'taking' are gerunds; 'take' (base form) is inconsistent. Change 'take a nap' to 'taking a nap' to maintain parallel gerund forms. (Grammar problem type ID: 8)

× If I have to read something, I would prefer to read on a paper because reading on screen makes me feel dizzy because the lights from the screens striking my eyes and I don't find it very comfortable for me.

✓ If I have to read something, I would prefer to read on paper because reading on a screen makes me feel dizzy since the light from the screen strikes my eyes and I don't find it very comfortable.

Use the uncountable phrase 'read on paper' rather than 'on a paper'. Use 'a screen' or 'the screen' consistently; 'on a screen' is acceptable here but 'on paper' is fixed. Change 'lights' to 'the light' (general glare) and correct verb form 'striking' to 'strikes' to match present simple. Remove redundant 'for me'. (Grammar problem type IDs: 22 and 6)

× I need to read carefully most of the time if I want to do my assignment because I need to understand the instruction clearly and if I just want to read something that is more, uh, lenient and so on.

✓ I need to read carefully most of the time if I want to do my assignment because I need to understand the instructions clearly, and if I just want to read something that is more, uh, lenient and so on.

Use present simple for habitual needs — 'need' is fine. The main grammatical issue is count/form: 'instruction' should be plural 'instructions' when referring to assignment directions. Also add a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. (Grammar problem type ID: 6 and 22)

× I would say maybe when I just reading a novels like there's nothing so important.

✓ I would say maybe when I'm just reading novels, like there's nothing so important.

After auxiliary verbs use the present participle: 'I'm reading' instead of 'I just reading'. Also 'a novels' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'novels' (plural) without 'a' or 'a novel' (singular). Add a comma for clarity. (Grammar problem type IDs: 10 and 1)

× It actually depends on what type of the material that I read.

✓ It actually depends on what type of material I read.

Remove the definite article 'the' after 'type of' — correct phrase is 'type of material'. Also omit 'that' which is unnecessary in this relative clause. (Grammar problem type ID: 11)

× If I read some articles I would try to read it umm you know, very detailed.

✓ If I read some articles, I would try to read them, umm you know, very carefully and in detail.

'Articles' is plural so use 'them' not 'it'. Also 'detailed' is an adjective; the adverbial phrase 'in detail' or 'very carefully' is appropriate for describing how to read. Add a comma after the conditional clause. (Grammar problem type IDs: 1 and 13 and 8)

× But if I just want to read some summaries about a specific topic, I will just scan the whole points.

✓ But if I just want to read some summaries about a specific topic, I will just scan the main points.

'Whole points' is incorrect collocation; use 'main points' to refer to key ideas. The rest of the sentence is grammatically fine. (Grammar problem type ID: 8)
