Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Reduce hesitations and grammatical errors (e.g., subject-verb agreement, tense). Aim for natural phrases like "It refreshes my mind" and avoid repetition.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading because it broadens my knowledge and refreshes my mind. For example, I recently read Harry Potter for pleasure; although I haven't memorized every plot detail, I enjoyed the characters and the imaginative world. Overall, reading helps me relax and learn new ideas.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and one specific reason with a linking word. Correct grammar ("on paper", "makes my eyes sore/strain my eyes") and avoid repetition. Mention a brief comparison to show balance.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because screens tend to strain my eyes. For instance, when I read manga on my phone recently, my eyes became very tired, so I usually choose printed books for longer sessions.

Suggestion: Respond with a clear topic sentence and structured contrast using linking words (e.g., "however", "whereas"). Avoid vague phrases and filler. Provide one specific example of academic material and one example of casual reading to make content concrete.

Example: It depends on the purpose: I read carefully when the material is academic because I need to understand concepts and take notes. However, when I read manga or light fiction for fun, I skim and focus mainly on the story and images.

Suggestion: Start with a concise opinion, then explain conditions using linking words ("however", "when"). Reduce fillers and repeat the main idea once. Provide a quick example of a task that needs scanning versus detailed reading.

Example: I generally prefer detailed reading because it helps me fully understand the material. However, if I only need a quick fact—such as finding a date or checking an email—I scan the text to save time.

× Yes I do like reading, the main reason being reading makes me more knowledgeable and also it freshen up my mind.

✓ Yes, I do like reading; the main reason is that reading makes me more knowledgeable and also freshens up my mind.

Subject-verb agreement and present tense form error: 'it freshen' is incorrect because the singular subject 'it' (referring to 'reading') requires the third-person singular present form 'freshens'. Also, improve sentence clarity by adding 'is that' and punctuation. Suggestion: use 'reading makes me... and also freshens up my mind.'

× I recently read a book, uh, which was named uh, Harry Potter, but I don't have much knowledge about the story still I uh, study.

✓ I recently read a book called Harry Potter, but I don't know much about the story; I studied it briefly.

Awkward phrasing and misuse of 'which was named' and 'study' create a sentence structure error. Use 'called' to name a book and correct tense/verb choice: 'don't know' for present lack of knowledge and 'studied' or 'read it briefly' for completed action. Suggestion: simplify and use clear past or present verbs consistently.

× I study still I read that book for joy.

✓ I studied it, but I read that book for enjoyment.

Incorrect tense and word order: 'I study still I read' is ungrammatical. Use past tense 'studied' if referring to past action, and 'for enjoyment' or 'for pleasure' to express motivation. Suggestion: choose correct tense and use conjunctions like 'but' to connect ideas.

× I prefer to read in a paper because reading on a screen makes my eye sore.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because reading on a screen makes my eyes sore.

Preposition and noun number errors: Use 'on paper' (not 'in a paper') and plural 'eyes' with 'sore'. Suggestion: 'prefer to read on paper' and 'makes my eyes sore.'

× Recently I have read manga of an enemy in screen and that ma that strained my eyes a lot so I'm I lean more towards reading on paper.

✓ Recently I read a manga on a screen and that strained my eyes a lot, so I lean more toward reading on paper.

Tense and wording: 'have read' is possible but simple past 'read' is natural with 'recently' in spoken context; phrase 'manga of an enemy' is unclear—changed to 'a manga' and 'on a screen'. Also corrected 'ma that' typo and 'lean more toward' (US) or 'towards' (UK). Suggestion: keep phrasing simple and fix typos.

× I think it's situation based.

✓ I think it depends on the situation.

Awkward adjective use 'situation based' is informal and unclear here. More natural structure is 'depends on the situation.' Suggestion: use 'depends on the situation' for clarity.

× I read carefully when it is, uh, related to academics as it requires some more, uh, comprehension and understanding of topics.

✓ I read carefully when it is related to academics because it requires more comprehension and understanding of the topics.

Tense mostly fine but wording and article use: change 'as' to 'because' for clarity, remove unnecessary 'some' and add 'the' before 'topics'. Suggestion: streamline filler words and use 'the topics' when specific.

× But I uh, read normally without focusing on much details when I'm reading on reading and manga only.

✓ But I read normally without focusing on many details when I'm reading novels and manga for pleasure.

Incorrect quantifier 'much details' should be 'many details'; 'reading on reading' is nonsensical—likely 'reading novels'. Use 'for pleasure' to clarify. Suggestion: use 'many details' with countable 'details' and correct nouns.

× Any other type of similar books?

✓ Do you mean other types of similar books?

Fragment/question lacks auxiliary verb and proper structure. Turn into full question with 'Do you mean...' or 'Are there any other similar books?' Suggestion: always include auxiliary verbs in questions.

× But I do focus and, uh, analyze uh, pictures.

✓ But I do focus on and analyze pictures.

Missing preposition after 'focus' — use 'focus on'. Also remove filler words. Suggestion: use 'focus on' + object and 'analyze' directly.

× I prefer detailed reading, but again, this is very much dependent on the situation.

✓ I prefer detailed reading, but again this depends a lot on the situation.

Original is acceptable but wordy; improved sentence simplifies 'is very much dependent on' to 'depends a lot on.' Suggestion: prefer active constructions for clarity.

× If the task can be completed just by scanning the text or skimming the text, then I do so.

✓ If a task can be completed by scanning or skimming the text, then I do so.

Redundant phrasing 'the task' and 'the text' repeated; simplify and use 'a task' and avoid repetition. Suggestion: be concise.

× If it requires greater, uh, focus and, uh, understanding, I then read it very carefully.

✓ If it requires greater focus and understanding, I then read it very carefully.

Remove filler words and commas; grammar is fine otherwise. Suggestion: avoid filler hesitations and extra commas.
