Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar; avoid filler words (“uh”), reduce repetition, and use clearer sentence structure. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details (types of books and reasons). Use correct verb forms and pluralization.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading. I mainly read contemporary fiction and self‑help books because fiction helps me relax and self‑help books give practical tips for personal growth and improve my vocabulary.

Suggestion: Eliminate fillers and fix minor grammar (e.g., “allows me to read anywhere,” “I don’t need to carry heavy books”). Combine ideas into two clear sentences and add a brief specific example to sound natural.

Example: I prefer reading on a screen because it lets me read anywhere without carrying heavy books. For instance, I often read articles and e‑books on my tablet while commuting.

Suggestion: Provide a clear direct answer and specific examples; correct grammar and avoid vague phrasing. Say when careful reading is necessary (study materials, official emails) and when scanning is fine (casual messages). Use linking words (for example, however) and limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: It depends on the situation. For example, I read study materials and official emails carefully because I need to understand details, but I don’t read social media posts in depth unless they seem important.

Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar (e.g., “I prefer scanning because it saves time and picks up the main points quickly”). Remove hesitations and repetition, and give a concise example of when scanning is used versus when detailed reading is necessary.

Example: I prefer scanning because it saves time and helps me find the main points quickly. For instance, I often read the subject line and first paragraph of an email to decide if it needs a full reply.

× I generally like to read the novels, fiction novels, and uh, self help books because because it not only give me knowledge but also improves my language skills and vocabulary.

✓ I generally like to read novels, fiction, and self-help books because they not only give me knowledge but also improve my language skills and vocabulary.

Use of definite article 'the' before general plural nouns is incorrect; drop 'the' when speaking generally. 'Self help' needs a hyphen 'self-help'. 'Because because' is repetition; remove one. Subject-verb agreement: 'it not only give' is incorrect because the subject refers to plural 'they' (books), so use 'they give' and 'improve' to match plural. Also avoid repeating 'novels' and 'fiction novels'—'fiction' alone suffices. Suggestion: remove unnecessary articles, fix hyphenation, ensure pronoun and verb number agreement.

× Well, I prefer to read on screen because it allows me to read it at anywhere and at any place.

✓ Well, I prefer to read on a screen because it allows me to read anywhere and at any time.

Article error and awkward preposition: use 'a screen' rather than omitting article. 'Read it at anywhere' is incorrect: drop 'it' and use 'anywhere'. 'At any place' is redundant with 'anywhere'; 'at any time' fits context better. Maintain present simple tense 'prefer' and 'allows'. Suggestion: use correct article and natural adverbs ('anywhere', 'any time').

× Moreover, I need not to carry such heavy books with me, so I carry my tablet or phone whenever I am travelling or relaxing at home.

✓ Moreover, I do not need to carry such heavy books with me, so I carry my tablet or phone whenever I am travelling or relaxing at home.

Incorrect modal/negation: 'need not to' is nonstandard in this context. Use 'do not need to' in present simple. The rest of the sentence is fine; keep continuous 'am travelling' for current habitual action. Suggestion: use correct negative construction with 'do not need to'.

× It totally depend upon a situation whether I need to go through carefully or not.

✓ It totally depends on the situation whether I need to read carefully or not.

Subject-verb agreement and preposition: 'depend' must agree with singular subject 'It', so use 'depends'. 'Depend upon' is acceptable but 'depends on' is more common. 'Go through carefully' is vague; for reading use 'read carefully'. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with subject and choose precise verbs.

× For example, when the the things or notifications related to my study.

✓ For example, when there are things or notifications related to my studies.

Sentence fragment and article errors: duplicate 'the the'. The clause lacks a verb—use 'there are' to introduce existence. 'My study' is unnatural here; use plural 'my studies'. Suggestion: avoid repeated words, include a verb, and use natural collocations.

× So the that were the situation where I need to lookout the uh, and read everything carefully and the about some events or.

✓ So those are situations where I need to look out for them and read everything carefully, for example about some events.

Multiple structural errors: 'the that were the situation' is jumbled and incorrect; replace with 'those are situations'. 'Lookout' should be 'look out for' (phrasal verb). Sentence was fragmented and ended abruptly; complete the thought with 'for example about some events' or similar. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: restructure sentence into clear subject + verb + object, use correct phrasal verbs and finish the idea.

× Will I prefer scanning because it lets me save my time and grabs the the mean points quickly?

✓ I prefer scanning because it lets me save time and grab the main points quickly.

Incorrect auxiliary/modal 'Will I prefer' is wrong for stating a preference; use simple present 'I prefer'. 'Save my time' is unnatural—use 'save time'. 'Grabs' should agree with subject 'it' referring to 'scanning', but better to use active 'grab' with implicit 'I' as subject ('it lets me... and [lets me] grab' or combine into 'lets me save time and grab'). Duplicate 'the the' and 'mean' should be 'main'. Suggestion: use proper tense for preferences, remove duplicates, correct vocabulary.

× For example, when I receive an e-mail, I usually read the subject line or the first paragraph so that so that I can understand the message without reading the whole text.

✓ For example, when I receive an e-mail, I usually read the subject line or the first paragraph so that I can understand the message without reading the whole text.

Redundancy: 'so that so that' repeats; remove one. Other parts are fine. Suggestion: proofread to remove duplicate phrases and ensure clarity.
