Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful with pronunciation and word choice, and make your structure clearer. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details. Avoid repetition (e.g., “like” used too often) and correct verb forms. Use linking words (for example, “also” or “in addition”) to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading in my spare time. I mainly read novels because I like getting absorbed in stories, and I also read academic papers or articles when I need information. For example, last month I finished a historical novel and several journal articles for my studies.

Suggestion: Improve grammar (use full sentences) and add a specific reason or example. Use linking words like “because” or “however” to contrast or explain. Replace vague words like “relaxed” with clearer descriptions (e.g., “easier on my eyes” or “more portable”).

Example: I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient and portable. For instance, I can carry many books on my tablet and adjust the font size, which makes reading easier during my commute.

Suggestion: Organize the response: give two clear parts (when you read carefully, and when scanning is fine). Fix grammar and be specific with examples. Avoid contradictory statements; if you mean everything needs care, explain briefly why. Use linking words like “for example” and “on the other hand.”

Example: I need to read carefully when the information is important or risky, for example, when reading medicine labels or legal documents. On the other hand, I do not read carefully when browsing social media or headlines, because a quick scan is usually enough.

Suggestion: Use correct grammar and clearer phrasing; avoid odd expressions like “read all of the alphabet.” State a topic sentence and give specific reasons with linking words such as “because” and “therefore.” Also acknowledge when detailed reading is needed to show balance.

Example: I prefer scanning because it helps me find key information quickly and keeps me focused. For example, when I read news articles I scan headings and the first paragraph, but when I study for exams I read in detail to understand complex ideas.

× Of course, I like leading so much in my spare time.

✓ Of course, I like reading so much in my spare time.

The student used 'leading' but intended the gerund 'reading'. This is an incorrect lexical choice rather than grammatical form; replace with the correct verb 'read' in gerund form 'reading' to indicate a hobby (like + -ing). Suggestion: use 'like' + verb-ing for hobbies, e.g., 'I like reading.'

× I always prefer to like novel and if I have enough time I will leave something like a paper or reference.

✓ I usually prefer novels, and if I have enough time I will read something like a paper or a reference.

Multiple errors: 'prefer to like' is redundant and incorrect; use 'prefer' or 'like'. 'Novel' should be plural 'novels' after a general verb. 'Will leave' is wrong lexical choice; intended 'read'. Also missing article before 'reference'. Suggestions: use 'usually' instead of 'always' if that fits, use 'prefer novels' or 'prefer to read novels', and include 'a' before 'reference.'

× I prefer read on the screen because it's more convenient and is relaxed for me.

✓ I prefer reading on a screen because it's more convenient and more relaxing for me.

After 'prefer' when speaking of activities, use the gerund 'reading' or the infinitive 'to read'. Also 'on the screen' is better as 'on a screen' for general preference. 'Is relaxed for me' is incorrect; use 'more relaxing for me.' Suggestion: 'prefer reading on a screen' and use comparative 'more relaxing.'

× So the time then I need to read carefully is when I need a label or medicine or something and when not.

✓ I need to read carefully when I am reading labels, medicine instructions, or similar things; otherwise I do not need to read so carefully.

Sentence is awkward and unclear. 'So the time then' is unnecessary; use a clearer clause. 'Need a label or medicine' is incorrect; you 'read a label' or 'read medicine instructions.' Also 'when not' needs a contrasting clause. Suggestion: reorganize into two clear parts: when careful reading is required and when it is not.

× I think that's impossible because we have to let everything carefully so we can go on the right path.

✓ I don't think that's possible because we have to treat everything carefully so we can go in the right direction.

'I think that's impossible' contradicts intended meaning; likely 'I don't think that's possible' fits context. 'Let everything carefully' is incorrect verb choice; use 'treat' or 'handle' carefully. 'Go on the right path' is awkward; 'go in the right direction' or 'follow the right path.' Suggestion: choose verbs that collocate with 'carefully' (treat/handle) and correct polarity if needed.

× I prefer scanning because when I read all of the alphabet it made me feel sleepy and I think scan is more faster and is actually like easy to understand.

✓ I prefer scanning because when I read everything in detail it makes me feel sleepy, and I think scanning is faster and actually easier to understand.

Multiple issues: 'when I read all of the alphabet' is incorrect phrase; 'everything in detail' or 'everything' fits. Tense consistency: 'it made me feel sleepy' should be present 'it makes me feel sleepy' to match general preference. 'Scan is more faster' is ungrammatical: use 'scanning is faster' (not 'more faster'). 'Is actually like easy to understand' should be 'actually easier to understand' (remove filler 'like' and use comparative 'easier'). Suggestion: maintain present tense for habitual actions, correct comparative forms, and use gerund 'scanning.'
