Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and organize reasons with linking words. Avoid fillers (uh) and repetition. Be specific about what kinds of books you read, how often, and why activity level affects your reading. Keep it within 3–4 concise sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially novels and short stories. I usually read for about an hour in the evening when I am relaxed, because if I try to read when I am very active or tired I get a headache. Reading helps me unwind and improves my vocabulary.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly, then give two specific reasons using linking words (for example, because, therefore). Avoid vague comments about mental health without explanation. Conclude briefly. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I prefer to read on paper because it is more comfortable and causes less eye strain than reading on a screen. In addition, paper books help me focus better, so I can remember details more easily.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer, then contrast the two situations with linking words (for example, whereas, but). Be specific: give examples of important materials (legal documents, study texts) and unimportant ones (social media posts). Avoid vague phrasing like “interesting” without examples.

Example: You need to read carefully when the material is important, for example legal documents, academic texts, or instructions, because missing details can cause problems. But for informal content like social media posts or casual emails, you can scan quickly and skip less relevant parts.

Suggestion: Answer directly which you prefer in general, then explain when you use each method with clear linking words. Correct vocabulary (detailed reading, scanning) and grammar (it depends). Give concrete examples of documents requiring detailed reading. Keep responses to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I generally choose scanning for everyday material but use detailed reading for important documents. For instance, I scan news articles and emails to get the main idea, but I read contracts or academic papers word-for-word to avoid mistakes.

× 'I like to read uh, sometime novels and uh, books also, but sometime.'

✓ 'I like to read, sometimes novels and books as well.'

'sometime' is incorrect here; the adverb meaning occasionally is sometimes. Also punctuation and repetition were reduced to make sentence natural.' Suggestion: use sometimes and remove filler words.'

× 'But when I am active otherwise I don't like that much because I got a headache and I start reading.'

✓ 'But when I am active, I like it; otherwise I don't like it that much because I get a headache when I start reading.'

'got' is incorrect in present context; use present simple get. The sentence structure was awkward; clarified with commas and conjunctions. Use get a headache and when I start reading to show cause.'

× 'I prefer to read on paper because, uh, reading on paper is more comfortable than, uh, looking at the screening.'

✓ 'I prefer to read on paper because reading on paper is more comfortable than looking at a screen.'

'screening' is the wrong noun; use screen. Also unnecessary fillers removed and article a added before screen for correctness.'

× 'At the same time, reading, I think, uh, your mental health, uh, will be affected by this.'

✓ 'At the same time, I think your mental health will be affected by it.'

'by this' is acceptable but 'by it' is more natural; removed redundant commas and fillers and reordered to subject-verb structure. Also avoid addressing listener as 'your' unless intended; here speaker's opinion projected generally.'

× 'I think you guys, I think I have to get a book.'

✓ 'I think I should get a book.'

'you guys' is unnecessary and creates confusion between listener and speaker. Use modal should to express personal obligation or intention. Removed repetition.'

× 'I think you need to read carefully when the topic is a very interesting, so you have to notice every single point, every single thing what they're saying or not,'

✓ 'I think you need to read carefully when the topic is very interesting, so you have to notice every single point and everything they are saying.'

Use 'very interesting' without article 'a'. Replace 'what they're saying or not' with 'they are saying' for clarity. 'Every single thing' is redundant with 'every single point', so combine. Use present continuous 'they are saying' or simple present 'they say' depending on context.'

× 'and when the topic is not that much important, so you don't need to look at only one side.'

✓ 'When the topic is not very important, you don't need to focus on just one aspect.'

'not that much important' is unidiomatic; use 'not very important'. 'Look at only one side' is awkward; 'focus on just one aspect' is clearer.'

× 'I think I prefer scanning or detail grading, both figures.'

✓ 'I think I prefer scanning or detailed reading, depending on the situation.'

'detail grading' and 'both figures' are incorrect collocations. Use 'detailed reading' and express contrast with 'depending on the situation' or 'it depends.' This corrects noun/adjective forms and meaning.'

× 'Uh, it's depends on people what you have, uh, in front of you.'

✓ 'It depends on what you have in front of you.'

'it's depends' is ungrammatical; use 'it depends'. Removed unnecessary 'people' and fillers. Simplified word order for clarity.'

× 'When you have a very important documents, you have to read detailed carefully because you don't want to need a mistake.'

✓ 'When you have very important documents, you have to read them carefully and in detail because you don't want to make a mistake.'

Plural agreement: 'a very important documents' incorrect; remove 'a' or make singular. 'Read detailed carefully' wrong order and form; use 'read them carefully and in detail.' 'You don't want to need a mistake' is incorrect; use 'make a mistake.' Also added pronoun 'them' to refer to documents.'

× 'But when you have nothing important, you just do a scanning and just keep the.'

✓ 'But when you have nothing important, you just scan and move on.'

'do a scanning' is unidiomatic; use 'scan'. 'Just keep the' is incomplete; 'move on' completes the thought. Simplified repetition of just.'
