Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct tense and small grammar issues, and avoid redundant phrases. Add one specific detail (what kind of books or newspaper topics) and link ideas with a connector.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. On weekends I usually read newspapers, especially business and tech sections, while on weekdays I read work-related books on my Kindle because they help me stay up to date.

Suggestion: Make the response coherent and complete. Give a clear preference, explain reasons with specific details and use linking words. Fix incomplete sentence at the end and avoid vague phrases like "it takes."

Example: I prefer reading on paper because printed pages are easier on my eyes and I remember information better; however, I buy many books on my Kindle for convenience and portability.

Suggestion: Be direct and use clearer vocabulary. Start with a topic sentence, then give contrasting examples using linking words (for example, however). Specify what kinds of books require careful reading and what parts of newspapers you skim.

Example: I read carefully when I need to learn or analyze something, for example when studying a specialist book or a research article; however, with newspapers I usually skim the headlines and short summaries to catch the main news.

Suggestion: Avoid confusing phrasing and pronoun errors. Begin with a clear topic sentence, explain the conditions that determine your choice, and give specific examples. Use linking words like "however" or "when" for coherence.

Example: I generally prefer scanning because it saves time, for instance I read newspaper headlines and main points quickly; however, when I study or enjoy fiction I opt for detailed reading to understand nuances.

× Yes, I very much like reading.

✓ Yes, I like reading very much.

The adverb phrase 'very much' is awkwardly placed between the auxiliary (I) and the main verb structure. Moving it after the verb 'like reading' produces a more natural English word order: 'I like reading very much.' Keep adverbial modifiers after the verb when they modify the verb phrase. ID:20

× I usually read newspapers on the weekends and on weekdays I managed to read some books on Kindle for work.

✓ I usually read newspapers on the weekends, and on weekdays I manage to read some books on my Kindle for work.

The clause 'I managed to read' uses past tense 'managed' while the sentence describes a habitual present action (usually/read). Use present tense 'manage' to match the habitual time frame. Also add a comma to separate clauses and include the possessive 'my' for 'Kindle' to clarify ownership and natural usage. ID:5

× I prefer reading on paper rather than a screen, but nowadays most of the things I buy are on screen, especially on Kindle.

✓ I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen, but nowadays most of the things I buy are on a screen, especially on my Kindle.

Use the preposition 'on' before 'a screen' for parallel structure and consistent phrasing. 'On Kindle' is missing the possessive pronoun; 'my Kindle' is more natural. Although this involves preposition and pronoun corrections, primary issue here is incorrect pronoun/possessive use. Ensure parallel prepositional phrases: 'on paper' and 'on a screen.' ID:12

× Papers are usually easier to read, but it takes.

✓ Paper is usually easier to read, but it takes less effort.

The original sentence is fragmentary: 'it takes' lacks an object. Also 'papers' in general when referring to the medium should be 'paper' (uncountable) in this context. Complete the idea by adding 'less effort' to indicate what 'it takes' refers to. This fixes both sentence completeness and noun choice. ID:26

× I read carefully when I have to get some sort of information or insight from a particular book, but on newspapers I can just tap and read the headlines.

✓ I read carefully when I have to get some sort of information or insight from a particular book, but with newspapers I can just skim and read the headlines.

Use 'with newspapers' rather than 'on newspapers' to refer to the medium. Also 'tap' is inappropriate in this context; likely intended 'skim' for quick reading. Replacing 'tap' with 'skim' and correcting the preposition makes the contrast clear and natural. ID:11

× It depends on the occasion or your object objectives, but I prefer scanning.

✓ It depends on the occasion or your objectives, but I prefer scanning.

The phrase 'object objectives' is redundant and ungrammatical. Use 'your objectives' (or 'your purpose') to express intent. This corrects the sentence structure and removes repetition. ID:26

× When reading a newspaper I only need the headlines and the main points, but when detail reading I like to read books.

✓ When reading a newspaper I only need the headlines and the main points, but when doing detailed reading I like to read books.

'Detail reading' is incorrect; use 'detailed reading' or 'reading in detail.' Also add the gerund 'doing' to create a parallel structure with 'when reading a newspaper.' This fixes adjective form and sentence structure. The article usage is also improved by keeping nouns consistent. ID:17
