Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
수험생
Velai prefer to read on screen because it is comfortable, convenient and portable. For example, if I'm travelling somewhere and I have to read something to pass my time, so I will take out my phone or a laptop and read it on a screen rather than carrying heavy load of books.

When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
수험생
Velitu Well, it totally depends upon a situation. For example, if there is a notifications of official emails or later to my study. So then I have to take it seriously and read it thoroughly because missing, uh, the details can lead to some problems. Whereas when I'm scrolling on social media and going through some other posts, so I don't, I will generally scheme it.

Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
수험생
I generally prefer scanning because it saves my time and gives me the overview of the whole text. For example, if I get an e-mail, I will only read the, uh, the headline or or the some first paragraph of that e-mail so that I can understand the main points quickly.

× Well, reading is one of my favorite hobby because it helps me to unwind and escape from the everyday stress.
✓ Well, reading is one of my favorite hobbies because it helps me to unwind and escape from the everyday stress.
'One of my favorite' requires a plural noun after it, so 'hobby' should be plural 'hobbies'. Use plural with expressions like 'one of the' because it refers to a member of a group. Suggestion: use 'one of my favorite hobbies' whenever you list a single item that belongs to a set.
× I especially enjoy reading novels as it not only increases my knowledge but also increases my vocabulary and reading skills.
✓ I especially enjoy reading novels as they not only increase my knowledge but also increase my vocabulary and reading skills.
The pronoun 'it' refers to a singular noun, but 'novels' is plural. Use 'they' and plural verb forms 'increase' to match. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents.
× Velai prefer to read on screen because it is comfortable, convenient and portable.
✓ I prefer to read on a screen because it is comfortable, convenient and portable.
'Velai' appears to be a name or typo; replace with the subject pronoun 'I'. Also use the article 'a' before 'screen' in this general sense. Suggestion: use correct subject pronoun and include articles when referring to a countable noun in a general way.
× For example, if I'm travelling somewhere and I have to read something to pass my time, so I will take out my phone or a laptop and read it on a screen rather than carrying heavy load of books.
✓ For example, if I'm travelling somewhere and I have to read something to pass the time, I will take out my phone or my laptop and read on the screen rather than carry a heavy load of books.
Remove redundant 'so'; use 'the time' (fixed phrase) rather than 'my time'. Use 'my laptop' for parallelism and 'read on the screen' rather than 'read it on a screen' to avoid unclear pronoun reference. 'Carry a heavy load of books' needs the article 'a'. Suggestion: avoid unnecessary conjunctions and keep parallel structure.
× Velitu Well, it totally depends upon a situation.
✓ Well, it totally depends on the situation.
Remove the extra token 'Velitu' (typo/name). Use 'depends on' not 'depends upon' in this casual context, and 'the situation' (specific context) is more natural. Suggestion: eliminate stray words and use common prepositional patterns.
× For example, if there is a notifications of official emails or later to my study.
✓ For example, if there are notifications of official emails or matters related to my study.
'Notifications' is plural so use 'are' not 'is'; 'of official emails' is acceptable but 'or later to my study' is ungrammatical — likely 'or matters related to my study'. Also correct subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: match singular/plural and use clearer noun phrases.
× So then I have to take it seriously and read it thoroughly because missing, uh, the details can lead to some problems.
✓ Then I have to take them seriously and read them thoroughly because missing the details can lead to problems.
Use 'them' to refer to plural 'notifications' or 'emails'; remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary commas. 'Missing the details' is the correct gerund phrase without extra commas. Suggestion: ensure pronoun number agreement and remove disfluencies.
× Whereas when I'm scrolling on social media and going through some other posts, so I don't, I will generally scheme it.
✓ When I'm scrolling on social media and going through other posts, I generally skim them.
Avoid combining 'whereas' and 'so' together; use one conjunction. 'Scheme' is wrong word—should be 'skim' (read quickly). Also use 'them' to refer to 'posts'. Suggestion: choose correct conjunctions and vocabulary, and ensure pronoun references are clear.
× I generally prefer scanning because it saves my time and gives me the overview of the whole text.
✓ I generally prefer scanning because it saves me time and gives me an overview of the whole text.
Use 'saves me time' rather than 'saves my time'; 'gives me an overview' requires the indefinite article 'an'. Suggestion: learn common collocations like 'save someone time' and use articles with singular noun phrases.
× For example, if I get an e-mail, I will only read the, uh, the headline or or the some first paragraph of that e-mail so that I can understand the main points quickly.
✓ For example, if I get an e-mail, I will only read the headline or the first paragraph of that e-mail so that I can understand the main points quickly.
Remove disfluency 'uh' and duplicate 'the' and 'or'. Use 'the first paragraph' not 'the some first paragraph'. Suggestion: avoid fillers and extra words; use 'the' with a specific paragraph.
