Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and fill words, and add one specific detail to support your answer. Use linking words only if adding extra information.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I spend several hours a week reading novels and non-fiction because it helps me relax and learn new things.

Suggestion: Use a more natural phrasing and give one clear reason with a linking word. Avoid informal words like “lazy” if you want to sound more fluent; instead use precise vocabulary.

Example: I prefer reading on a screen because it’s more convenient; I can quickly scroll and search for information, and carry many books on one device.

Suggestion: Organize the answer with a topic sentence and two clear contrasting points. Remove hesitations and use specific examples. Use linking words like “when” and “but” correctly.

Example: I need to read carefully when I’m studying for exams or when I find important or surprising information because I must remember details; but I don’t read carefully when I’m skimming news headlines or browsing social media.

Suggestion: Be concise and avoid fillers. Give a concise preference and explain with a specific reason, using linking words like “because” or “however”. Avoid vague words like “something” and contradictory or unclear adjectives.

Example: I prefer scanning because it helps me quickly find the main points when I’m short on time; however, I choose detailed reading when I need to fully understand or analyze a text.

× I really, really, really, really extremely like reading.

✓ I really like reading.

The sentence uses multiple redundant intensifiers (repeated really and extremely). This is an issue of incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs (type 13). Use a single appropriate intensifier to be natural and grammatically correct: 'I really like reading.' Suggestion: choose one intensifier (really, very, or extremely) and avoid repetition.

× I spend a lot of time on reading.

✓ I spend a lot of time reading.

After expressions like 'spend time' the verb should be in the -ing form without the preposition 'on'. This matches grammar problem type 8. 'Spend a lot of time reading' is the correct idiomatic structure. Suggestion: use 'spend time' + gerund.

× I read novels and books, and I study every day.

✓ I read novels and books and study every day.

The sentence repeats coordination awkwardly; collapsing the coordinated verbs into one clause improves fluency (type 26 sentence structure errors). Also 'novels and books' is redundant; 'books' alone or 'novels' alone suffices. Suggestion: streamline to 'I read books and study every day' or 'I read novels and study every day.'

× I prefer to read on a screen because I am lazy to flip pages, but I easily scroll the screen.

✓ I prefer to read on a screen because I am too lazy to turn pages, and I can easily scroll the screen.

'Lazy to' is incorrect; English uses 'too lazy to' + verb (type 11 preposition/structure). Also connect clauses properly for clarity. 'Flip pages' is acceptable but 'turn pages' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'too lazy to' and add 'can' for ability: 'I am too lazy to turn pages, and I can easily scroll.'

× I need to read carefully when I have study something or I when I found umm umm. Exciting information, but I do not need to read carefully when I have not anything.

✓ I need to read carefully when I am studying something or when I find exciting information, but I do not need to read carefully when I do not have anything important to read.

Multiple errors: 'have study' mixes auxiliary with base verb (type 6 present tense issue); use present continuous 'am studying' for ongoing study. 'I when I found' uses past 'found' incorrectly; use present simple 'find' for general situations. 'I have not anything' is incorrect word order/quantifier; use 'I do not have anything' or better 'I do not have anything important to read' (types 14 and 26). Suggestion: use correct present forms: 'am studying' and 'find', and proper negative construction 'do not have anything.'

× I prefer scanning because, uh, scanning show you, uh, the main, uh, the main point or the main, uh, topic or something like that.

✓ I prefer scanning because scanning shows you the main point or the main topic.

Subject-verb agreement error: 'scanning show' should be 'scanning shows' (type 27 subject-verb agreement / type 2 third person singular). Also remove filler words and duplicate phrases for clarity (type 26 sentence structure). Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with subject: 'scanning shows.'

× Yeah, but detailed reading, reading is boring. It's, it's spring boring and.

✓ But detailed reading is boring.

The original contains repetition, filler and a fragment 'It's, it's spring boring and' which is ungrammatical (type 26 sentence structure errors and type 13 adjective/adverb misuse if 'spring' intended as 'so' or 'very'). Remove repetitions and incomplete fragments. Suggestion: say simply 'But detailed reading is boring' or 'Detailed reading is quite boring.'
