Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Give a direct, grammatically correct topic sentence first, then briefly support it with a specific reason and an example. Correct verb forms and article usage are needed. Keep it concise (1–2 sentences).

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading because it helps me improve my English. For example, when I read English books and articles regularly, I learn new vocabulary and see how grammar is used in context.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear preference statement, then give one specific reason and a short example. Reduce fillers like “uh” and avoid repetition. Use linking words (because, so) for coherence.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I find it easier to concentrate and annotate. For example, I can underline important sentences and make notes in the margins, which helps me remember what I read.

Sugerencia: Answer both parts clearly: say when careful reading is necessary and when skimming is fine. Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement) and give a concise reason or example for each case. Avoid vague phrases and hesitations.

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when I study for exams or sign important documents because small errors can cause big problems. On the other hand, I skim news headlines or social media posts when I only want the main idea.

Sugerencia: State your preference clearly and explain the conditions that determine it. Use correct vocabulary (detailed reading, scanning) and avoid repetition. Provide one short, specific example showing when you use each method.

Ejemplo: It depends: I scan texts when I need to find specific facts quickly, but I use detailed reading for textbooks or novels to understand ideas and details. For example, I scan timetables for times but read a chapter carefully when preparing for a test.

× Of course, yes it is improve my English well, because if I reading something my English improve better.

✓ Of course. Yes, it improves my English because if I read something my English improves.

The student mixes tenses and uses incorrect verb forms. Use simple present for habitual actions: 'it improves' and 'I read'. Also avoid unnatural 'improve better' — 'improves' alone is correct. Split into two sentences or use a comma and conjunction for clarity.

× Of course, I prefer to read on paper because it's very easy and comfortable. Some people prefer to read on paper because it helps, uh, writing, uh, improve.

✓ Of course, I prefer to read on paper because it's very easy and comfortable. Some people prefer to read on paper because it helps their writing improve.

The student used an incorrect or missing possessive pronoun and incorrect verb form 'improve'. Use the possessive 'their' to refer to people and the verb 'improve' must have the subject 'their writing' so the structure is correct: 'helps their writing improve' or 'helps improve their writing'.

× When are I need to read carefully? I can't mistake because if I mistake when I need to read, it's, uh, not true.

✓ When do I need to read carefully? I try not to make mistakes because if I make a mistake while reading, the meaning may be incorrect.

The question 'When are I need' uses wrong auxiliary and word order. Use 'When do I need'. In the explanation sentence use 'make mistakes' (common collocation) and correct conjunctions and clause order: 'if I make a mistake while reading, the meaning may be incorrect.' This clarifies intended meaning and corrects tense and verb choice.

× Sometimes I prefer scanning and sometimes deleting readings because it is different then for example some people do scanning scanning it's true.

✓ Sometimes I prefer scanning and sometimes detailed reading because it depends. For example, some people do scanning; that's true.

The student used 'deleting readings' incorrectly (wrong word) and 'then' instead of 'than' or 'depends'. Use the correct noun 'detailed reading' for close reading and the phrase 'it depends' to indicate variation. Also reduce repetition 'scanning scanning' and clarify with punctuation.
