Reading— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Відповідь зрозуміла й містить причину та приклад, але деякі конструкції звучать неприродно. Скажіть “I didn’t use to like reading” без “used”, замініть “our world, how it’s working” на природніше “how the world works” і уникайте надто довгого завершення. Почніть із чіткої основної думки, а потім додайте один конкретний приклад.

Example: To be honest, I’m not a keen reader. I didn’t use to enjoy reading when I was a child, although I sometimes read science books because they explained interesting experiments and showed me how the world works.

Suggestion: Основна відповідь і контраст подані добре, але відповідь обірвана та містить граматичні помилки. Використовуйте “turning the pages”, “more information is available” і “screens are more convenient”. Додайте завершену причину або ситуацію, наприклад читання новин чи статей у дорозі, і не залишайте речення незакінченим.

Example: I prefer reading paper books because I enjoy their smell and the tactile feeling of turning the pages. However, I also read on a screen nowadays because information is easily available on my phone and digital texts are more convenient when I’m travelling.

Suggestion: Ви навели релевантні причини, але відповідь незавершена: речення закінчується словом “live”. Завершіть думку, наприклад “live according to them”. Для повнішої відповіді додайте протиставлення: менш важливі тексти, як-от повідомлення або реклама, можна читати швидко. Також природніше сказати “my family’s health and safety”.

Example: I read very carefully whenever something concerns my family’s health and safety. I also pay close attention to religious or spiritual topics because I want to understand them properly and live according to those ideas. In contrast, I usually skim advertisements or informal messages because they are less important.

Suggestion: Ідея відповіді зрозуміла, але є багато граматичних помилок і повторів. Використовуйте “It depends on the importance of the information”, “I can scan it quickly” та “I read it in detail”. Побудуйте відповідь за схемою: загальна думка → неважлива інформація → важлива інформація. Не повторюйте “I can” і замініть “some story” на конкретніше “a short article or a simple story”.

Example: It depends on how important the information is. If I’m reading a short story or a simple online article, I usually scan it quickly to get the main idea. However, if the text contains important instructions or affects my decisions, I read it in detail.

× I didn't used to like reading.

✓ I didn't use to like reading.

After did or didn't, use the base form of the verb. Therefore, used must become use.

× They explained interesting experiments and ideas and our world, how it's working.

✓ They explained interesting experiments and ideas, as well as how our world works.

Use the simple present works to describe a general fact about how the world functions. The phrase how it's working is less appropriate here.

× I enjoy the smell and the tactile feeling of turning page.

✓ I enjoy the smell and the tactile feeling of turning a page.

A singular countable noun such as page needs an article. Use a because the page is not specific.

× More information are in our phones.

✓ More information is available on our phones.

Information is an uncountable noun and takes a singular verb, so are must become is.

× More information is in our phones.

✓ More information is available on our phones.

Use the preposition on when referring to information stored or displayed on a phone or other electronic device.

× There are more convenient and

✓ Screens are also more convenient.

The original phrase is incomplete because more convenient needs a clear subject. Adding screens creates a complete and grammatically correct sentence.

× It also depends of the importancy of information.

✓ It also depends on the importance of the information.

The verb depend is followed by the preposition on, not of. Importance is the correct noun form of important.

× I can I can scanning quickly and briefly.

✓ I can scan quickly and briefly.

After the modal verb can, use the base form of the verb, so scanning must become scan. The repeated phrase I can should also be removed.

× If it's just some story, I can scan it quickly and briefly.

✓ If it's just a story, I can scan it quickly and briefly.

Use the indefinite article a before a singular countable noun when referring to one nonspecific story.

× When it's important thing, I will read in detailing.

✓ When it's an important thing, I will read it in detail.

The singular countable noun thing requires an article, and an is used before the vowel sound in important.

× I will read in detailing.

✓ I will read it in detail.

Detailing is not the correct expression here. Use the fixed adverbial phrase in detail to mean carefully and thoroughly.
