Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct basic grammar (articles, plurals, word forms). Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid redundancy and keep to under five sentences.

Ejemplo: I don't read a lot generally, but I enjoy inspirational and self‑help books when I need motivation. For example, I often read short biographies and motivational essays to lift my mood and get new ideas.

Sugerencia: Correct collocations and sentence word order (e.g., 'on paper', 'easier on my eyes', 'feel more immersed'). Use one clear reason then add a specific example. Reduce repetition and fix articles and prepositions.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because physical books are easier on my eyes and help me feel more immersed in the text. For instance, when I study I can easily jot down notes and highlight passages in a paperback.

Sugerencia: Fix grammar (plural/singular, articles, verb forms) and clarify contrast. Use linking words like 'because' and 'however'. Provide one precise example of consequences and one clear example of casual reading to show distinction.

Ejemplo: I read carefully when dealing with important documents, such as bank statements or immigration paperwork, because mistakes can have serious financial or legal consequences. However, I skim advertisements or social media posts since they usually only provide quick, general information.

Sugerencia: Use consistent verb forms and correct singular/plural and articles. State topic sentence then give two specific contrasting examples with linking words ('for example', 'while'). Avoid repeating the same idea twice.

Ejemplo: It depends on the purpose: for official documents like visa papers and bank statements I read in detail and check dates, amounts and figures. By contrast, for general articles or news I usually scan to find the main ideas quickly.

× I'm not a big reader in general, but when I'm feeling bored or need a motivation, I prefer to read a books about inspiration or self help.

✓ I'm not a big reader in general, but when I'm feeling bored or need motivation, I prefer to read books about inspiration or self-help.

Errors: 'a motivation' is incorrect because 'motivation' is an uncountable noun here and does not take 'a'; 'a books' is wrong because plural noun 'books' should not have 'a'; 'self help' should be hyphenated as 'self-help' when used as a compound adjective or noun. Suggestion: remove the article before uncountable and plural nouns, and hyphenate 'self-help'. Use 'motivation' without 'a'.

× For example, I sometimes read a short biographies and motivational essays to lift my mood and get new ideas.

✓ For example, I sometimes read short biographies and motivational essays to lift my mood and get new ideas.

Error: 'a short biographies' mixes the singular article 'a' with the plural noun 'biographies'. Suggestion: remove 'a' when referring to plural nouns: 'read short biographies'.

× I prefer reading on a paper rather than a screen because physical books are more comfortable and less staring for my eyes.

✓ I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because physical books are more comfortable and less straining for my eyes.

Errors: 'on a paper' is incorrect; 'paper' in this context is uncountable and should be 'on paper'. Missing 'on' before 'a screen' is stylistic; 'less staring' is incorrect word choice—use 'less straining'. Suggestion: use uncountable nouns without 'a' and choose correct adjective 'straining'.

× They also help me more feel more immerse with the in the text and I can easily jot down the notes and highlight the passage when I am studying.

✓ They also help me feel more immersed in the text, and I can easily jot down notes and highlight passages when I am studying.

Errors: word order 'help me more feel' is incorrect; use 'help me feel more...'. 'immerse' is a verb; needed adjective 'immersed'. 'with the in the text' has extra words; correct preposition is 'in the text'. 'the notes' and 'the passage' are unnecessary definite articles when speaking generally—use 'notes' and 'passages'. Suggestion: use correct adjective forms and simple word order 'help me feel more immersed in the text', and avoid unnecessary articles for general nouns.

× I need to read carefully when the material is questioned such as bank statement or immigration paperwork because mistake can have serious financial and legal consequence.

✓ I need to read carefully when the material is important or questioned, such as bank statements or immigration paperwork, because mistakes can have serious financial and legal consequences.

Errors: 'is questioned' is awkward; better 'is important or questioned'. 'bank statement' should be plural 'bank statements' to match general meaning. Missing plural markers: 'mistake' should be 'mistakes' and 'consequence' should be 'consequences'. Suggestion: ensure plural agreement for countable nouns and use clearer phrasing 'such as bank statements'.

× I don't read as much as carefully when I'm reading looking at advertisement or any social media post since they are just a quick information and really.

✓ I don't read as carefully when I'm looking at advertisements or any social media posts since they are just quick information and not very reliable.

Errors: 'as much as carefully' is ungrammatical; use 'as carefully' or 'as much' depending on intent—here 'as carefully' fits. 'reading looking at' redundant; use 'looking at' or 'reading'. 'advertisement' and 'post' should be plural to be general: 'advertisements' and 'posts'. 'a quick information' is wrong because 'information' is uncountable and does not take 'a'; 'really' is incomplete. Suggestion: simplify to 'I don't read as carefully when I'm looking at advertisements or social media posts since they are just quick information and not very reliable.'

× It depend on the purpose.

✓ It depends on the purpose.

Error: subject-verb agreement—'It' (third person singular) requires 'depends' not 'depend'. Suggestion: use correct third-person singular verb form with singular subject.

× For important documents such as visa papers and bank statement I read everything in the detail and check date, amounts and other information in.

✓ For important documents such as visa papers and bank statements, I read everything in detail and check dates, amounts, and other information.

Errors: 'bank statement' should be plural 'bank statements'. Use 'in detail' not 'in the detail'. 'check date' should be 'check dates' for plural documents. Trailing 'in' is unnecessary. Suggestion: use plural forms for lists of items and correct fixed phrase 'in detail'.

× For general material I usually scan to find the main ideas, but for official document I read carefully and truly.

✓ For general material I usually scan to find the main ideas, but for official documents I read carefully and thoroughly.

Errors: 'official document' should be plural 'official documents' for general reference; 'truly' is the wrong adverb here—use 'thoroughly' to mean careful and complete reading. Suggestion: use appropriate adverb 'thoroughly' and pluralize general nouns.
