Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make your answer clearer, more natural and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct unnatural phrases and reduce repetition. Include one or two specific details (e.g., favourite book or author, how often) and use linking words to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. It is one of my favourite pastimes, and in my free time I usually read psychology books or language textbooks for learning German and English. For example, I recently read a book on cognitive biases which helped me understand decision-making better.

Sugerencia: Provide a direct topic sentence and fix unclear phrases. Explain reasons with specific details and use linking words (because, so, therefore). Mention a brief example of distraction or eye strain.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because screens strain my eyes and I get distracted by notifications. For instance, when I try to read on my laptop I often end up checking emails, so I find paper books much easier to concentrate on.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence and correct grammar (e.g., 'contracts must be read carefully'). Explain both situations with specific reasons and use linking words (because, whereas). Avoid filler words like 'umm'.

Ejemplo: Contracts must be read carefully because they affect your legal rights and obligations. Conversely, you do not need to read short, casual messages in depth; for example, a friend’s text can usually be skimmed, whereas a rental agreement should be read word for word.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and use clearer vocabulary (scan vs. detailed/deep reading). Explain with linking words and specific examples of when you use each method. Keep it concise and avoid hesitations.

Ejemplo: It depends: I usually skim novels to follow the plot quickly, but I read textbooks in detail to understand concepts. For example, I skim novels for enjoyment, whereas when studying a psychology textbook I read each chapter carefully and take notes.

× Yes I do, I do like your reading I think it is one of my favorite things to do and in my free time I always read psychological books or learning German English like a textbooks.

✓ Yes, I do. I like reading; I think it is one of my favorite things to do, and in my free time I always read psychology books or learn German and English from textbooks.

Multiple issues: incorrect article use ('a textbooks') and word choice ('psychological books' should be 'psychology books'; 'learning German English like a textbooks' is ungrammatical). Also run-on sentence and punctuation. Suggest breaking into shorter sentences, use 'learn' instead of 'learning' to match parallel structure, and use plural 'textbooks' without an article.

× I would say on paper because reading books or words on computers, it would cost that.

✓ I would say on paper because reading books or words on a computer causes that.

Incorrect preposition and phrasing: 'on computers' should be 'on a computer' or 'on computers' consistently; 'it would cost that' is not idiomatic. Use 'causes that' or better 'causes eye strain' (see next sentence). Suggest specifying the problem: 'reading on a computer gives me eye strain.'

× I would have a short eyesight and I always got distracted by it.

✓ I get short-sighted and I always get distracted by it.

Tense and word choice errors: 'would have a short eyesight' is incorrect; use present simple 'get short-sighted' or 'have poor eyesight' to describe habitual effect. 'always got distracted' mixes past with habitual context; use 'always get distracted.'

× Well I would say contract needs to be read carefully 'cause you would umm affect your rights and power and you don't have to focus on.

✓ Well, I would say contracts need to be read carefully because they can affect your rights and obligations, so you must focus on them.

Multiple structural problems: 'contract' should be plural 'contracts' (or 'a contract'), verb 'needs' should agree with plural if using 'contracts'; 'you would umm affect your rights and power' is ungrammatical — should be 'they can affect your rights and power' or better 'rights and obligations.' 'you don't have to focus on' contradicts meaning; use 'you must focus on them.' Suggest clearer noun agreement and logical connectors.

× Well, it depends. I did both 'cause uh, when I read the write regular books like novels I always uh do scanning reading, but in textbooks I use deep.

✓ Well, it depends. I do both because when I read regular books like novels I usually scan them, but for textbooks I read in depth.

Incorrect verb forms and noun phrases: 'I did both' (past) should be 'I do both' to indicate habitual preference. 'the write regular books' is garbled; use 'regular books' or 'written novels.' 'do scanning reading' is incorrect — use 'scan them' or 'use skimming/scanning.' 'use deep' is incomplete; use the phrase 'read in depth' or 'read deeply.'
