Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise: answer directly, then give 1–2 specific details. Avoid repeating the examiner's question and unnecessary fillers. Use correct grammar for genres (e.g., 'romance' and 'humour').

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I especially like romance and humorous novels because they help me relax and lift my mood after a long day.

Suggestion: Give a clear position (paper, screen, or both) and give 1–2 coherent reasons using linking words. Avoid fillers and unclear phrases. Use correct grammar (both have, different atmospheres).

Example: I prefer both formats. For example, I like paper books for the tactile feel and atmosphere, but I use a screen for articles and e-books because they are more convenient when I travel.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence, then contrast two situations using linking words like 'however' or 'on the other hand'. Be specific about what 'carefully' means and avoid contradictory phrases (rapidly and carefully conflict).

Example: I read carefully when the text is important or complex, for example, technical instructions or a suspenseful chapter, because I need to understand details. However, at the beginning of a novel I often read more quickly to get a general sense of the story.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly and give a concrete, relevant reason. Avoid repetition and unclear references (what 'marketing' refers to). Use linking words to connect reason and result.

Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand ideas deeply and remember key points; for instance, when I study marketing articles I read slowly to grasp strategies and examples.

× Yes, I do like reading, but I only like reading like romantic novels, funny novels.

✓ Yes, I do like reading, but I only like reading romantic novels and funny novels.

The phrase 'reading like romantic novels' incorrectly uses 'like' as a filler and duplicates 'reading'. Remove the extra 'like' and connect items with 'and' to list genres clearly. Also avoid repeating 'reading' unnecessarily: 'reading romantic novels and funny novels' is concise and grammatical.

× I prefer both because both has different you know aura of Liv or of reading.

✓ I prefer both because both have a different, you know, aura of live reading or reading on a screen.

The subject 'both' is plural and requires the plural verb 'have' not 'has'. 'Liv' was likely a typo for 'live' or 'in-person'; clarify to 'live reading' or 'reading on paper' depending on meaning. Add articles and commas: 'a different, you know, aura' for natural speech.

× So not living the both have different.

✓ So they both have different atmospheres.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and confusing. Recast it with a clear subject 'they' referring to the two formats and use 'have different atmospheres' to express the intended contrast. Avoid words like 'living' unless you mean 'live' and make sure word order is subject-verb-object.

× When there is some serious situation in which suspense is going on the book, I read it very rapidly and very carefully.

✓ When there is a serious situation or suspense in the book, I read it very carefully and quickly.

Word order and phrasing are awkward. Place 'in the book' next to 'suspense' and use parallel adverbs 'very carefully and quickly' rather than 'very rapidly and very carefully' which is redundant. 'Going on' is unnecessary; use 'there is' or 'there is suspense'.

× When in the starting of the book I read very, you know, not carefully.

✓ At the beginning of the book, I do not read very carefully.

Use the idiomatic expression 'at the beginning of the book' instead of 'in the starting of the book'. Place the subject and verb in natural order and use 'do not read very carefully' for negative present habit. Remove filler 'you know' for clarity.

× I prefer detailed reading because it makes me more particular about particular about marketing.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because it makes me more particular about marketing.

The phrase repeats 'particular about' twice; remove the duplicate. 'More particular about marketing' is acceptable, but consider 'more attentive to marketing details' for precision. Ensure the adjective/adverb usage is not duplicated.
