Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetitions and filler words. Fix grammar (plural/singular, verb forms) and unclear phrases.

Example: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially fantasy and romance novels. For example, fantasy books transport me to imaginative worlds, while romantic stories help me relax after a busy day.

Suggestion: Keep the answer focused and use linking words to explain reasons. Correct small errors and avoid redundancy (e.g., 'real' repeated). Provide a brief specific detail about when or why paper is better.

Example: I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy the tactile feeling and the smell of books. For instance, reading a paperback in the evening helps me relax more than reading on my phone.

Suggestion: Reduce filler words and correct grammar (agreement, word choice). Provide clear contrasting examples and link them logically. Be specific about types of texts and strategies used for careful reading.

Example: I need to read carefully when the text contains complex ideas or advanced vocabulary, such as academic articles or literary novels. In contrast, I skim light articles or news when I only need the main point.

Suggestion: Good structure and clear contrast. Make it slightly more concise and use linking words to improve fluency. Replace informal phrasing with smoother expressions and give a brief example of each approach.

Example: It depends on my goal: for timed tests I scan to find key facts quickly, while for understanding meaning I read in detail—for example, I would scan a practice exam but read a novel closely to follow the plot.

× I like to read books of fantasy and romance.

✓ I like to read books of fantasy and romance.

No change needed; sentence is acceptable. However, 'books of fantasy and romance' is slightly less natural than 'fantasy and romance books' or 'books about fantasy and romance'. Suggested phrasing improves naturalness, not grammar. Suggestion: say 'I like to read fantasy and romance books.'

× I feel like these type of books just brings you out from the real world, does dress, work or environment and it just makes you indulge into the world of imagination.

✓ I feel like these types of books just bring you out of the real world, whether it is dress, work, or your environment, and they make you indulge in a world of imagination.

Errors: 'these type' should be 'these types' (plural) or 'this type' (singular) causing subject-verb disagreement; 'brings' should be 'bring' to match plural; 'out from' is incorrect preposition, use 'out of'; 'does dress, work or environment' is ungrammatical — use 'whether it is dress, work, or your environment' to clarify; 'it just makes you indulge into' uses wrong pronoun and preposition: 'they make you indulge in'. Suggestions: ensure subject and verb number agree, choose correct prepositions ('out of', 'in'), and restructure clause for clarity.

× I personally prefer to read on paper because I like the feeling of the material and the real books just have a kind of smell to it that it brings out the most of the real relaxation.

✓ I personally prefer to read on paper because I like the feel of the material, and real books have a certain smell that brings out a sense of real relaxation.

Errors: 'the feeling of the material' is awkward; use 'the feel of the material'; 'the real books' is unnecessary definite article before a general noun — use 'real books' or 'physical books'; 'have a kind of smell to it' mixes singular pronoun 'it' with plural subject 'books' and uses awkward phrasing — change to 'have a certain smell'; 'brings out the most of the real relaxation' is unnatural: use 'brings out a sense of real relaxation'. Suggestions: match pronouns to subjects, avoid redundant articles, and choose idiomatic expressions.

× I need to read carefully when there are parts that needs understanding.

✓ I need to read carefully when there are parts that need understanding.

'parts' is plural so the verb should be 'need' not 'needs' (subject-verb agreement). Also 'need understanding' is acceptable but can be more natural as 'require understanding' or 'need to be understood'. Suggestion: 'when there are parts that need to be understood.'

× Umm such as umm, books that use difficult words just advance vocabulary.

✓ For example, books that use difficult words just advance vocabulary.

Problems: filler words 'Umm such as umm' are spoken hesitations and should be removed for written correction; sentence structure lacks clarity — 'books that use difficult words just advance vocabulary' is awkward. 'Advance' is not the best verb here; use 'help improve' or 'expand'. Suggestion: 'For example, books that use difficult words help expand vocabulary.'

× That's when I need to really try to understand it and read it again and again.

✓ That's when I really need to try to understand it and read it again and again.

Placement of adverb 'really' is slightly awkward but not strictly incorrect. Original 'need to really try' is a split infinitive; while acceptable in speech, moving 'really' before 'need' is stylistically better. Also 'it and read it again and again' refers back to 'parts' (plural) — better to use 'them' if referring to parts: '...try to understand them and read them again and again.' Suggestion: ensure pronoun number matches antecedent and prefer non-split infinitive in formal writing.

× It depends on the situation, such as if I'm doing a test that requires a limited amount of time then I would do scanning just because it saves much more time.

✓ It depends on the situation. For example, if I'm taking a test that requires a limited amount of time, I would scan because it saves a lot of time.

Problems: run-on sentence and mixed phrasing. 'Doing a test' is less natural than 'taking a test'; 'requires a limited amount of time then I would do scanning' is awkward — use conditional punctuation and concise verbs: 'I would scan'. 'Saves much more time' is unnatural; use 'saves a lot of time'. Suggestions: break into clearer sentences, use natural collocations ('take a test', 'scan a text'), and adjust quantifier phrase.

× But if I'm trying to understand the context then I would do a detailed reading.

✓ But if I'm trying to understand the context, then I would do detailed reading.

Minor issue: 'a detailed reading' is acceptable but 'do a detailed reading' can be simplified to 'do detailed reading' or 'read in detail'. Also add comma after the conditional clause. Suggestion: '...then I would read in detail.'
