Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be concise and accurate: start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Correct grammar (verb forms and word choice) and avoid repetition. Use linking words (however, but) appropriately and keep to under five sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I do like reading. I used to read a lot as a child because I enjoyed stories and learned new things, but now I read less because I often prefer spending free time on my phone or playing video games. However, I still try to read novels occasionally to relax.

Sugestão: Give a clear preference sentence, then provide specific, well-formed supporting reasons. Avoid broken sentences and unclear vocabulary. Use linking words (because, besides, although) and correct collocations (e.g., 'smell of ink', 'turning pages', 'strains my eyes').

Exemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy the smell of ink and the feel and sound of turning pages, which make reading more immersive. In contrast, screens often strain my eyes and lack that tactile experience, so I read long books on paper whenever possible.

Sugestão: Answer with a clear topic sentence and then two concise, specific examples. Fix grammar (use correct tenses and noun forms) and clarify vocabulary (e.g., 'academic articles', 'novels'). Use linking words (whereas, while) to contrast reading purposes.

Exemplo: I need to read carefully when studying academic articles or scientific essays because I must understand complex ideas and details. In contrast, when I read novels for pleasure I usually focus on the overall plot and characters and do not pay attention to every detail.

Sugestão: Start with a direct preference sentence and then give two clear reasons with smooth linking. Reduce fillers (uh) and correct grammar (verb forms, articles). Provide an example of a situation where scanning is useful to show specificity.

Exemplo: I prefer scanning because it saves time and usually gives me the main ideas I need. For example, when I check news articles or emails, I scan for key points instead of reading every sentence in detail.

× When I was a child I was a big fan for reading.

✓ When I was a child I was a big fan of reading.

Use 'fan of' rather than 'fan for' to indicate enthusiasm for an activity or topic. Replace 'for' with 'of' to be idiomatic.

× When I whenever I get a free time I would like to spend it on reading.

✓ Whenever I get free time I like to spend it reading.

Do not combine 'a' with 'free time' — use 'free time' without an article. Also 'would like to' is fine but 'like to' fits habitual present. Simplify word order by removing the extra 'When'.

× But now as an adult there are a lot of attractions from computers, phones, video games.

✓ But now as an adult, I am attracted by many things like computers, phones, and video games.

Original uses awkward noun 'attractions' and passive construction 'attractions from'. Use the verb 'be attracted by' or 'be attracted to' and list items with commas; add a comma after introductory phrase for clarity.

× So now I really reading shamely.

✓ So now I really hardly read.

Original lacks correct verb form and uses 'shamely' incorrectly. Use adverb 'hardly' plus base verb 'read' to express infrequent reading. 'Really hardly' can be simplified to 'hardly'.

× I'd prefer to read on paper because whenever I read on paper, I really enjoy the the smell sent from the ink and the sound and the sound of flippers, flipper rings of paper.

✓ I'd prefer to read on paper because when I read on paper, I really enjoy the smell of the ink and the sound of pages turning.

Remove duplicate words and incorrect phrases: use 'smell of the ink' instead of 'smell sent from the ink' and 'pages turning' is the natural phrase rather than 'flippers' or 'flipper rings'. Also keep verb forms consistent.

× But when I read on the screen, I couldn't feel something like that.

✓ But when I read on a screen, I can't feel anything like that.

Use 'a screen' or 'on screens' rather than 'the screen' for general statement. Use present tense 'can't' to match habitual preference. Use 'anything like that' rather than 'something like that' when negating.

× Besides read on screen, it's really. Eyesight hurting?

✓ Besides, when I read on a screen, it really hurts my eyes.

Add 'when I' and proper clause order: 'hurts my eyes' is the correct phrasing. Remove fragment 'it's really.' and combine into a complete sentence.

× When I read scientific essays, were the reading texts that obviously requested requests to read carefully.

✓ When I read scientific essays, the reading texts obviously require careful reading.

Replace incorrect 'were' with correct clause and use 'require careful reading' to express necessity. Remove redundant 'requested requests'.

× But however, when I read profound, like if not reads for novels, then I just need to know the general ideas.

✓ However, when I read literature or novels, I only need to know the general ideas.

Original mixes words incorrectly. Use 'literature or novels' instead of 'profound' and correct subject-verb agreement 'reads' to 'read' with 'I'. Simplify structure for clarity.

× I don't need to, uh, be familiar with every single details, so that time I just overlook it.

✓ I don't need to be familiar with every single detail, so at those times I just skim it.

Use singular 'every single detail' (each detail), not 'details'. Replace 'overlook' with 'skim' which better matches reading quickly. Use plural time reference 'those times' or 'at those times'.

× I don't need to read very carefully.

✓ I don't need to read very carefully.

Sentence is correct; no change needed. (Included for completeness.)

× I really prefer scanning because that's helped me to save my time And also most, under most situations, I just need to get the general ideas.

✓ I really prefer scanning because it helps me save time, and in most situations I just need to get the general ideas.

Use simple present 'helps' for habitual effect rather than past 'helped'. Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'save' and fix word order 'in most situations'.

× I don't need to specifically know what it's about.

✓ I don't need to know the specific details of what it's about.

Place adjectives correctly: 'specific details' is clearer than 'specifically know'. Rephrase for natural English.

× So, uh, if I just do detail reading that will spending a lot of, lot of time and energy, uh, and uh, I don't think it's an effective way.

✓ So if I do detailed reading, it will spend a lot of time and energy, and I don't think that's an effective way.

Use adjective 'detailed' to modify 'reading'. Use future 'it will take' or 'it will spend' — better: 'it will take a lot of time and energy'. Ensure subject-verb agreement and remove filler words.
