Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise and use clearer, correct phrasing. Begin with a direct topic sentence, avoid redundancy (e.g., "righteously" is incorrect here), and give one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Keep answers to a maximum of five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading and consider myself an avid reader. I developed the habit because my grandmother was a writer and often read aloud when I was a child, which inspired me. Recently, I've read over ten books, mainly modern novels and biographies, because I like learning about different lives and viewpoints.

Sugerencia: Use smoother linking and correct comparative and causal phrases. State your preference clearly, give two concise reasons with linking words (first, second), and avoid repetition. Correct grammar: "prefer reading on paper to a screen."

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper to reading on a screen. First, paper helps me focus better because I've always been trained to read that way. Second, it prevents eye strain since I already spend over eight hours a day at a computer for work.

Sugerencia: Good direct structure and relevant details. Improve by tightening language and adding a brief linking phrase to contrast the two situations. Avoid wordiness like "more carefully" twice; use precise verbs.

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when studying case reports for work because I must concentrate and assess diagnoses accurately, so I usually work alone. In contrast, I skim celebrity news or song lyrics for entertainment and don't focus on details.

Sugerencia: Clarify and correct awkward expressions. Use concise contrast with linking words (if... then / whereas). Replace unclear phrases like "layer activity" and "skim off the knowledge." Keep to two to three sentences maximum.

Ejemplo: It depends on the content. If it's related to my office work, I read in detail to ensure accuracy; whereas for hobbies I usually skim and take brief notes rather than learning every detail.

× These days I have read more than 10 books recently, mostly modern novels, biographies, because I enjoy learning about people's life and different perspectives.

✓ These days I have read more than 10 books, mostly modern novels and biographies, because I enjoy learning about people's lives and different perspectives.

The sentence mixes redundant time markers ('These days' and 'recently'); remove one. 'Have read' is correctly present perfect for recent experience. 'Biographies' should be joined with 'and' not a comma splice. 'People's life' is singular and incorrect; use plural 'people's lives' to match 'people'. Also punctuation improved for clarity.

× I always prefer to read on paper than to a screen because it helps me to be more focused because I'm trained in this way.

✓ I always prefer to read on paper rather than on a screen because it helps me focus; I'm trained to do it this way.

Use 'rather than' to compare preferences and include parallel preposition 'on a screen'. 'Helps me to be more focused' is wordy; 'helps me focus' is more natural. 'I'm trained in this way' is awkward; 'I'm trained to do it this way' clarifies purpose.

× And secondly, I don't get any eye strain because I feel I already spent more than 8 hours by sitting in front of screen during my office hours.

✓ Secondly, I don't get eye strain because I already spend more than eight hours sitting in front of a screen during my workday.

Use present simple 'spend' for habitual action rather than past 'spent'. Remove 'by' before 'sitting'; the correct structure is 'spend ... sitting'. Add indefinite article 'a' before 'screen'. 'Office hours' is better expressed as 'workday' here. Use numerals spelled out as words in formal writing: 'eight'.

× So for reading I always prefer a book or a journal.

✓ So for reading I always prefer a book or a journal.

Sentence is grammatically acceptable; retained. Note: could also say 'I always prefer books or journals' for general preference, but original fits context and requires no change.

× I read more carefully when I study case reports for work because I need to concentrate and evaluate their diagnosis accurately, so I prefer to be alone while analyzing the data.

✓ I read more carefully when I study case reports for work because I need to concentrate and evaluate diagnoses accurately, so I prefer to be alone while analyzing the data.

Verb tenses are consistent (present simple for habitual action). Change 'their diagnosis' (singular possessive referring to reports) to plural noun 'diagnoses' to match multiple reports and avoid unclear pronoun reference.

× On the other hand, I don't read very carefully when I'm browsing celebrity news or song lyrics because that is just for entertainment and I'm not looking for detailed facts.

✓ On the other hand, I don't read very carefully when I'm browsing celebrity news or song lyrics because those are just for entertainment and I'm not looking for detailed facts.

Use plural demonstrative 'those' to refer to plural nouns 'celebrity news or song lyrics' rather than singular 'that'. This makes the pronoun agree in number with its antecedents.

× It depends upon the kind of content I am reading.

✓ It depends on the kind of content I am reading.

Use the idiomatic preposition 'depends on' rather than 'depends upon' in conversational English; both are grammatically possible but 'depends on' is more natural.

× If it is regarding my office work, I read it thoroughly, but if it is just for my hobby or as a layer activity, I just skim off the knowledge and or make a small note instead knowing each and every detail regarding it.

✓ If it concerns my office work, I read it thoroughly, but if it is just for my hobby or a leisure activity, I just skim for the main points or make a short note instead of learning every detail.

'Regarding' is acceptable but 'concerns' is clearer. 'As a layer activity' is incorrect; intended 'leisure activity'. 'Skim off the knowledge' is incorrect phrasing; use 'skim for the main points'. 'And or' is incorrect; choose 'or'. 'Instead knowing each and every detail regarding it' is ungrammatical; replace with 'instead of learning every detail' for clarity and correct preposition 'instead of'.
