Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and natural: give a clear topic sentence then one or two specific reasons or examples. Avoid fillers (ums) and grammar mistakes (use present tense consistently, and correct adjectives). For example, say you find reading boring but mention what types of reading you dislike and what you prefer instead.

Exemplo: I don't really enjoy reading much because I often find long texts boring. Instead, I prefer watching short videos on YouTube or TikTok because they are more engaging and help me relax after work.

Sugestão: Provide a clear preference and explain with specific reasons using correct grammar and linking words. Avoid vague phrases and incorrect verbs. Keep to 2–3 sentences and use linking words like 'because' or 'however.'

Exemplo: I prefer reading on a screen because it's more convenient and portable, especially on my laptop. However, I sometimes choose paper books when I want to rest my eyes or enjoy the feel of a physical book.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence and use specific context and linking words. Correct grammar (tense and articles) and reduce redundancy. Give a concise contrast between when careful reading is needed and when it is not.

Exemplo: I need to read very carefully at work because I must understand messages and instructions from clients. In contrast, I don't read as carefully when browsing social media or casual articles because they are less important.

Sugestão: Good structure and content; improve naturalness and grammar (use 'I' not 'they', and simpler linking). Add a brief example to make your answer more specific.

Exemplo: It depends on the situation. If I don't have much time, I scan the text to get the main points; however, if I have enough time, I read in detail to understand everything—for example, when studying for an exam I always read carefully.

× To be honest I don't really like reading, I thought it's boring most of the time.

✓ To be honest, I don't really like reading; I think it's boring most of the time.

The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly: 'I don't really like' is present but 'I thought it's boring' uses past 'thought' with a present clause. Use present 'think' to match the ongoing opinion. Also add a comma after the introductory phrase and use a semicolon or conjunction to join related clauses for clarity.

× I do prefer watching things on YouTube or tik toks.

✓ I prefer watching things on YouTube or TikTok.

'Do prefer' is unnecessary emphasis in normal statements; replace with 'prefer'. 'TikToks' as a plural name of the platform is incorrect; the platform name is 'TikTok'. Capitalize proper noun. If referring to videos, say 'TikTok videos'.

× Umm that makes me more relaxed and enjoyable.

✓ Umm, that makes me feel more relaxed and happy.

'Enjoyable' describes something that causes enjoyment; you need adjectives describing your state: 'relaxed and happy' or 'more relaxed and enjoying myself.' Also add a comma after interjection for clarity.

× It's very hard to choose. It's depends.

✓ It's very hard to choose. It depends.

'It's depends' is ungrammatical because 'depends' requires no contracted subject 'it' with 'is'; the correct impersonal construction is 'It depends.' Remove the extra 'is.'

× If I got a laptop in me, I would prefer to reason the laptop because uh, reading on the screens as far as more convenient for me, uh, because books sometimes it's heavy to carrying around uh.

✓ If I had a laptop with me, I would prefer to use it because reading on a screen is more convenient for me; books can be heavy to carry around.

Multiple issues: use conditional 'If I had' not 'If I got'; 'in me' should be 'with me'; 'reason the laptop' is wrong verb—use 'use it'; 'reading on the screens as far as more convenient' should be 'reading on a screen is more convenient'; 'books sometimes it's heavy to carrying' combines incorrect subject and verb forms—use 'books can be heavy to carry.' Adjust pronouns and verb forms for grammaticality and clarity.

× I was in most of the time I have to read carefully especially during my work hours because I have to read all the texts sent by my clients.

✓ Most of the time I have to read carefully, especially during my work hours, because I have to read all the texts sent by my clients.

The initial 'I was in' is ungrammatical and mixes tenses; remove it. Use present simple 'I have to' to describe regular duty. Keep punctuation to separate clauses. The tense 'sent' (past participle) is correct as part of a passive description 'texts sent by my clients.'

× So it's a need or is crucial.

✓ So it is necessary or crucial.

'It's a need' is awkward in English; 'it is necessary' is a natural expression. Also avoid repeating 'is' twice; combine into 'it is necessary or crucial.' Use full forms for clarity in spoken-to-written correction.

× So I have to make sure that I understand all of what is written.

✓ So I have to make sure that I understand everything that is written.

'All of what is written' is awkward; use 'everything that is written' or 'all that is written.' This improves word order and naturalness.

× If they don't have much time, I would prefer to scan, but if I have enough time, I would rather read things carefully to make sure that I understand it correctly.

✓ If I don't have much time, I prefer to scan, but if I have enough time, I would rather read carefully to make sure that I understand things correctly.

Pronoun reference 'they' in the first clause is unclear—use 'I' to match the subject. Use consistent modal choices: 'prefer to scan' (present habitual) matches hypothetical time pressure; 'would rather read' is acceptable for preference but mix was inconsistent. 'Understand it' should be 'understand things' or 'understand them' to match plural 'things.' Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'read' and streamline word order.
