Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 回答は直接だが文法ミスと冗長表現が多いです。現在の習慣と過去の習慣を明確に区別して簡潔に述べ、不要な繰り返しを避けてください。語順（do reading → read）や時制（used to）を正しく使い、1文目で結論を述べた後に1〜2文で理由や具体例を添える練習をしましょう。例：『I don't read much now, but I used to read magazines a lot as a child.』

Example: I don't read much these days because I'm busy with work, but I used to read magazines and children's books a lot when I was young.

Suggestion: 主張は明確だが理由の表現が不自然で語彙選択も間違っています（"concentrate on waiting"など）。理由は簡潔に、関連語（concentrate, eyestrain, distraction, long periods）を使って述べ、繰り返しを避けてください。また理由を1〜2つ挙げると説得力が増します。

Example: I prefer reading on paper because I find it easier to concentrate for long periods and screens often cause eye strain and distractions.

Suggestion: 質問に対して具体的な状況を明確に示せていません。繰り返しや言い淀みを減らし、対比を使って「いつ注意深く読むか」「いつざっと読むか」を簡潔に述べましょう。例えば学術的なリサーチや引用が必要なときは詳細に読み、ニュース記事やSNSは速読で十分など具体例を挙げると良いです。

Example: I need to read carefully when I'm researching for university reports because I must check facts and cite sources. For casual reading, like news headlines or social media, I usually skim to save time.

Suggestion: 意見は明確で理由もあるが、言い淀みと冗長さが目立ちます。簡潔な主張の後、1〜2の具体的理由をリンクワード（because, so, therefore）でつなぎ、語彙を洗練させてください（details → detailed reading, knowledge → deeper understandingなど）。

Example: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand the plot or the author's argument more fully, and therefore I can learn more from the text.

× Actually I don't reading now, but I used to like reading when I was a child.

✓ Actually I am not reading now, but I used to like reading when I was a child.

The verb 'do' requires the base form of the main verb; 'don't reading' is incorrect. Use the present continuous 'am not reading' to express an action happening now. Alternatively, with 'do' you would say 'I don't read' for habitual actions. Suggestion: use 'I am not reading now' or 'I don't read now' depending on intended meaning.

× For example, I usually read.

✓ For example, I usually read books or magazines.

The sentence 'For example, I usually read.' is incomplete because 'read' generally needs an object to be clear. Adding 'books or magazines' clarifies what is read. Suggestion: include the object of reading for clarity.

× I usually read magazines.

✓ I usually read magazines.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It already specifies the object and uses the simple present for habitual action.

× That's because if I read, if I read books on a screen, I cannot concentrate on reading, but on papers I can concentrate on waiting for a long time.

✓ That's because if I read books on a screen, I cannot concentrate for long, but with paper I can concentrate for a long time.

Original mixes clauses and uses 'concentrate on waiting' which is incorrect. Use 'concentrate for long' or 'concentrate for a long time' to express duration. Also prefer 'with paper' or 'on paper' consistently. Suggestion: simplify clause structure and use correct preposition and noun phrase for duration.

× When I write a report on university assignments and by using reading books by by reading books, umm it is the references.

✓ When I write a report for university assignments and use books for reading, they serve as references.

Multiple preposition and phrase errors: use 'for university assignments' not 'on', avoid redundant 'by using' and duplicate 'by', and use plural agreement 'they serve as references'. Suggestion: streamline to 'When I write a report for university assignments, I use books as references.'

× So it is important to concentrate on reading.

✓ So it is important to concentrate when reading.

'Concentrate on reading' is understandable but 'concentrate when reading' is more natural here because the context is about concentrating during the reading activity. Suggestion: use 'when reading' or 'to concentrate while reading' for clarity.

× I prefer detailed reading because scanning is difficult for me to understand the story or thesis.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because scanning makes it difficult for me to understand the story or thesis.

The structure 'is difficult for me to understand' should be 'makes it difficult for me to understand' to show cause. Also use consistent subject 'scanning' and verb 'makes'. Suggestion: use 'scanning makes it difficult for me to...' to show cause-effect.

× But by reading in details umm I can get some knowledge about the books or umm learning.

✓ But by reading in detail I can gain knowledge from books or learn new things.

Use 'in detail' (not 'in details') and prefer 'gain knowledge' or 'learn new things' for natural phrasing. 'About the books or learning' is vague; clarify as 'from books' or 'learn new things'. Suggestion: use 'in detail' and clearer objects for 'gain knowledge'.
