Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid fillers (uh, umm). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use correct collocations (e.g., "personal development" not "personal developments") and correct minor grammar ("not a very avid reader").

Example: Yes, I do. I enjoy reading psychology and personal development books because they help me understand behavior and improve my habits. However, I'm not a very avid reader; I usually read a few pages each day to keep learning without feeling overwhelmed.

Suggestion: Good structure and clear reasons. Improve by tightening wording, avoiding repetition ("on a paper" -> "on paper") and adding a brief specific example to support the nostalgia point.

Example: I prefer to read on paper because it's more comfortable and easier on my eyes. For instance, I enjoy flipping through physical pages of novels because the tactile feel and old book smell make reading more enjoyable and relaxing.

Suggestion: Reduce hesitations and clarify the second part. Use contrasting linking words ("however", "on the other hand") and give a specific example of casual reading. Correct phrasing ("restrict myself" rather than "restrict to myself").

Example: When I'm studying for exams I read carefully because I need to remember key facts and understand concepts. However, when I'm reading for pleasure, such as a magazine or a light novel, I skim and enjoy the story without focusing on every detail.

Suggestion: Good clear preference and reasons. Remove fillers and improve phrasing ("detailed reading" instead of "detail reading"). Add a brief context when scanning is useful to show awareness of both methods.

Example: I prefer scanning because it helps me grasp the main ideas quickly and is more efficient when I have limited time. For example, I scan articles to decide if they are worth a deeper read, and I reserve detailed reading for important texts like academic papers.

× Yes, actually I enjoy reading and I like to read psychology and uh, books about personal developments to help me to improve umm, But I'm not a way umm reader and I just try to read a few pages a day.

✓ Yes, actually I enjoy reading, and I like to read psychology and books about personal development to help me improve. But I'm not an avid reader, and I just try to read a few pages a day.

The phrase 'personal developments' is incorrect; the noun 'development' should be singular when used as an uncountable concept (adjective use: 'personal development'). 'To help me to improve' is wordy; use 'to help me improve' (infinitive without extra to). 'a way reader' is incorrect; the correct adjective is 'avid' to describe a keen reader. Also use 'an' before a vowel sound ('an avid'). Combine clauses with proper punctuation. Suggestion: use concise noun forms and appropriate adjectives, and check article use before vowel sounds.

× Actually I prefer to read on a paper because I think it is more comfortable and also it gives me a sense of nostalgia and I can read for hours without straining my eyes.

✓ Actually I prefer to read on paper because I think it is more comfortable, it gives me a sense of nostalgia, and I can read for hours without straining my eyes.

Use 'on paper' (no article) when speaking generally about the medium. 'On a paper' would imply a specific sheet of paper. Also punctuation improved by adding commas and conjunction. Suggestion: drop the article when referring to mediums in general (on paper, on screen). Grammar problem type and ID: 22

× Umm, when I'm studying for an exam and I need to remember all important, uh, information, I need to read more carefully.

✓ When I'm studying for an exam and need to remember all important information, I have to read more carefully.

The original repeats 'I' unnecessarily and places the adjective 'important' before an unmodified noun with an awkward comma. 'Have to' or 'need to' can be used; choosing 'have to' sounds more natural. Remove the comma between 'important' and 'information'. Suggestion: avoid unnecessary pronoun repetition and punctuation; keep adjective+noun together. Grammar problem type and ID: 11

× But for example, when I read casually, it is not necessary to umm, restrict to myself.

✓ But for example, when I read casually, it is not necessary for me to restrict myself.

The verb 'restrict' requires an object or a reflexive pronoun: 'restrict myself' or the structure 'for me to restrict myself'. The original 'restrict to myself' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: use correct verb patterns with reflexive pronouns and include 'for me to' when using the impersonal construction 'it is necessary'. Grammar problem type and ID: 6

× I prefer scanning because I think it gives you a general idea of a text.

✓ I prefer scanning because I think it gives me a general idea of a text.

The sentence switches from first person ('I prefer') to second person ('you') inconsistently. Maintain the same subject: 'gives me' matches 'I prefer'. Suggestion: keep pronoun perspective consistent within a sentence. Grammar problem type and ID: 27

× Also, uh, when I scan, I can read a book much faster uh, than I would detail reading and find it more efficient.

✓ Also, when I scan, I can read a book much faster than when I read in detail, and I find it more efficient.

The phrase 'detail reading' is incorrect; use 'read in detail' or 'detailed reading'. The comparative clause 'than I would detail reading' is ungrammatical and causes subject-verb and structural mismatch. Insert 'when I read in detail' to compare parallel actions, and add 'I' before 'find' for clarity. Suggestion: use parallel structures for comparison and correct noun forms ('detailed reading') or verb phrases ('read in detail').
