Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid awkward phrasing (e.g., "I learn reading", "hit on the books"), and limit to 2–3 sentences. Add a brief specific example to enrich your answer.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading and consider it one of my main hobbies. For example, when I’m stressed after work I usually read a novel for an hour because it helps me relax and forget about my worries.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence then 1–2 specific reasons using linking words. Avoid irrelevant or unclear phrases (e.g., "when I eat on mobile phone"); stay concise and accurate about health concerns.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because the text feels clearer and it’s easier to concentrate. Also, when I read on a screen for a long time I get eye strain and headaches, so paper books are more comfortable for extended reading.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence covering both situations, then use linking words to contrast them. Avoid repetition and complete the second part (casual reading) with a clear finishing phrase and example.

Example: I read carefully when I’m studying for exams or working on assignments because I need to understand details and remember facts. However, for casual reading I skim more and focus on enjoying the story rather than memorizing every detail.

Suggestion: Use the correct term (scanning vs detailed reading) and answer directly. Explain reasons with 1–2 concise supporting details and use linking words. Remove filler words and unclear phrases like "detached reading" or "perspective."

Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand the author’s ideas and appreciate the writing. If something is unclear, I usually reread the paragraph two or three times to fully grasp the meaning.

× Yeah, I learn reading and reading is one of my hobbies.

✓ Yes, I enjoy reading and it is one of my hobbies.

The original uses 'learn reading' which is incorrect collocation and present simple tense should express habitual action: 'enjoy reading' is natural. Also replacing 'Yeah' with 'Yes' is more formal for exam context. Suggestion: Use 'enjoy' + gerund to describe hobbies (I enjoy reading).

× When I am free, bored or stressed, I hit on the books.

✓ When I am free, bored, or stressed, I turn to books.

'Hit on the books' is an incorrect idiom; the correct idiom is 'hit the books' meaning study, but context implies reading for comfort. 'Turn to books' or 'read books' fits. Commas needed in list. Use base verb 'turn' not present participle. Suggestion: Choose appropriate idiom ('turn to books' or 'hit the books' depending on meaning).

× OK, I prefer to read on paper because on paper text is cleaner, clear and the idea can be gathered as it is written.

✓ I prefer to read on paper because the text on paper is cleaner and clearer, and the meaning can be understood as it is written.

Pronoun 'on paper' repeated awkwardly; word order and adjective forms need correction: use comparative 'clearer' not 'clear'. 'Idea can be gathered' is unnatural; use 'meaning can be understood'. Also add 'the' before 'text'. Suggestion: Use 'the text on paper is cleaner and clearer' and 'meaning can be understood'.

× But however, when I eat on mobile phone on screen, uh, I feel dizziness and it can cause headache and eye disease as well.

✓ However, when I read on my mobile phone screen, I feel dizzy and it can cause headaches and eye strain as well.

Multiple issues: 'But however' is redundant ('however' alone). 'eat' is wrong verb; should be 'read'. 'on mobile phone on screen' -> 'on my mobile phone screen'. 'feel dizziness' incorrect collocation; use 'feel dizzy'. 'cause headache' -> 'cause headaches' (plural) and 'eye disease' more naturally 'eye strain'. Suggestion: Use correct verb 'read', proper possessive 'my', adjective 'dizzy', and collocations 'headaches' and 'eye strain'.

× When I I need to study or read for an examination or read for an assignment, I read very carefully.

✓ When I need to study, prepare for an examination, or work on an assignment, I read very carefully.

There is a repeated 'I I' typo and awkward repetition 'read for an examination or read for an assignment'. Rephrase for parallel structure: 'study, prepare for an examination, or work on an assignment'. Suggestion: Ensure no repeated words and keep parallel verb forms in lists.

× Like I read, if I don't understand something I reread it many times.

✓ For example, if I don't understand something, I reread it many times.

Starting with 'Like I read' is unnatural; use 'For example' or 'For instance'. Commas needed. Present simple 'don't understand' and 'reread' are fine. Suggestion: Use transitional phrase 'For example' to introduce an illustration.

× But when I'm doing just casual reading for pleasure, I read.

✓ But when I'm doing casual reading for pleasure, I read more quickly.

The original ends redundantly with 'I read' without adding information. To answer the question about when not to read carefully, clarify by saying you read more quickly or less carefully. Maintain present continuous 'I'm doing' for current habits. Suggestion: Provide contrast by stating how reading differs (e.g., 'I read more quickly' or 'I don't read carefully').

× I would prefer detached reading, as detailed reading can give me, uh, information about what the author is saying to me, how the book is appealing to me, and when I don't understand what is written by the author, I often read it, uh, two or three times, even a line or a perspective.

✓ I prefer detailed reading, because it gives me information about what the author is saying and how the book appeals to me. When I don't understand something the author wrote, I often read it two or three times, even a single line or a passage.

'Detached reading' is likely wrong; 'detailed reading' matches question. Remove filler 'uh'. 'How the book is appealing to me' -> 'how the book appeals to me'. 'What is written by the author' -> 'something the author wrote'. 'A line or a perspective' awkward; use 'a line or a passage'. 'Two or three times' is fine. Improve quantifier 'a single line'. Suggestion: Use 'detailed reading' and clearer noun choices ('passage') and clean up filler words.
