Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid numbering verbally and repetition. Also correct small grammar/capitalization errors and provide a brief example relevant to each point.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. Firstly, it expands my vocabulary and helps me learn new expressions, which is useful for studies and work. Secondly, I love exploring imaginative worlds, especially in dystopian and science fiction novels. For example, I enjoyed reading Harry Potter because it combined creative world-building with memorable characters.

Sugestão: Organize into a clear topic sentence plus 2–3 concise supporting details, use linking words (however, because), and avoid redundancy. Mention one specific example of when you use each format to show balance.

Exemplo: I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient and often cheaper. However, I also collect paper books for their aesthetic value and to comfort me when I'm stressed. For instance, I read articles and novels on my tablet, but I keep a small home library of physical books that I like to browse.

Sugestão: Start with a clear contrasting statement and use linking words (for example, whereas) to show the difference. Give one concrete specific example of a work-related situation requiring careful reading to strengthen your answer.

Exemplo: I need to read carefully when the outcome matters, whereas casual reading can be more relaxed. For example, when I'm reviewing project specifications at work or studying for an exam, I read every detail to avoid mistakes. By contrast, when I read comic books or light fiction for fun, I skim through without worrying about missing anything.

Sugestão: Provide a clear topic sentence and then two linked reasons with one specific example of each reading mode. Avoid colloquial phrases like "there's gonna be" in formal test; use more neutral language.

Exemplo: It depends on my purpose: I use detailed reading for important tasks and scanning for leisure. For instance, I read work reports carefully to ensure accuracy, but when I revisit books like Harry Potter for enjoyment, I often skim passages that I already know.

× One is I learn a lot of vocabulary.

✓ One is that I learn a lot of vocabulary.

The original sentence omits the conjunction 'that' after 'One is', making the phrase feel incomplete; adding 'that' clarifies the noun clause. This is more a sentence structure fix but relates to completing the singular item introduction. Suggestion: include 'that' or rephrase as 'Firstly, I learn a lot of vocabulary.'

× 2 is I explore New world, especially if it's dystopian or science fiction and #2 is I am having fun, For example I read Harry Potter.

✓ Second, I explore new worlds, especially dystopian or science fiction ones, and I have fun; for example, I read Harry Potter.

Multiple issues: the sentence uses digits and symbols awkwardly and lacks parallel structure. 'New world' should be plural 'new worlds'. 'I am having fun' is better as simple present 'I have fun' for habitual action. Conjunctions and punctuation were incorrect; combine ideas with 'and'. Suggestion: use ordinal words (First, Second), pluralize 'worlds', and use simple present for habitual activities.

× #2 is I am having fun, For example I read Harry Potter.

✓ I have fun; for example, I read Harry Potter.

Present continuous 'I am having fun' implies a temporary action happening now; here the student speaks about a habitual reason, so simple present 'I have fun' is appropriate. Also fix punctuation by separating clauses with a semicolon or period.

× I prefer to read on screen because it's more convenient and comfortable and affordable.

✓ I prefer to read on a screen because it's more convenient, comfortable, and affordable.

When talking about reading on a device type in general, use the indefinite article 'a' with 'screen'. Also use commas in a list and the Oxford comma for clarity. Suggestion: 'on a screen' and list adjectives separated by commas.

× Although it's ironic because I also collect a lot of books.

✓ This is ironic because I also collect a lot of books.

Starting the sentence with 'Although' requires a main clause to follow; as written it's a sentence fragment. Replace 'Although' with 'This is' to make a complete sentence. Suggestion: ensure subordinate conjunctions introduce dependent clauses attached to main clauses.

× I like to to look at them every time I'm stressed.

✓ I like to look at them whenever I'm stressed.

There is a duplicated 'to' ('to to') which is a typo. Also 'every time' is acceptable but 'whenever' is more natural. Suggestion: remove the extra 'to' and consider 'whenever' for smoother phrasing.

× So that's why I collect them. I don't read them, I just collect them.

✓ So that's why I collect them; I don't read them, I just collect them.

Tenses are acceptable (present simple for habitual actions) but the punctuation should be improved by joining closely related sentences with a semicolon or separating them. Suggestion: use correct punctuation to connect related ideas.

× I need to read carefully if there is a consequence to my action.

✓ I need to read carefully if there are consequences to my actions.

The original uses singular 'a consequence' which can be grammatical but 'consequences' more naturally matches 'my actions' (plural) and general situations. Also 'there is' versus 'there are' should agree with plural. Suggestion: use plural to generalize the idea.

× If it's about my work, working on a project or taking an exam.

✓ If it's about my work, such as working on a project or taking an exam.

The original is a fragment lacking a main verb; inserting 'such as' links examples to 'about my work' correctly. Suggestion: avoid fragments by providing a complete clause.

× These are significant things.

✓ These are important matters.

'Significant things' is grammatically correct but awkward; replacing with 'important matters' is more natural and idiomatic. Suggestion: choose collocations that native speakers commonly use.

× Unlike when I'm just reading as a hobby, like reading comic books, then I don't really need to read carefully.

✓ When I'm just reading as a hobby, for example comic books, I don't really need to read carefully.

The conjunction 'Unlike when' followed by 'then' makes the sentence clumsy; remove 'Unlike' and 'then' and rephrase for clarity. Suggestion: use 'for example' and simple sentence structure.

× If my job is on the line, then I really have to do detailed reading or else there's gonna be a consequence.

✓ If my job is on the line, then I really have to do detailed reading, or else there will be consequences.

'Gonna' is informal slang; use 'will' in formal speech. Also 'a consequence' is less natural than plural 'consequences' here. 'Detailed reading' as a noun phrase is fine. Suggestion: avoid informal contractions in test responses and use 'there will be consequences.'

× But then if it's just me randomly reading the things that I like, for example reading Harry Potter book, then I think scanning would be OK.

✓ But if I'm just reading things I like randomly, for example, the Harry Potter books, then I think scanning would be OK.

Adjust word order for naturalness: 'if I'm just reading things I like randomly'. 'Harry Potter book' should be plural 'Harry Potter books' or 'a Harry Potter book'; choose plural since series. Remove the redundant 'then'. Suggestion: use natural word order and correct noun number.

× For example reading Harry Potter book, then I think scanning would be OK.

✓ For example, reading a Harry Potter book, I think scanning would be OK.

When referring to a single book, use the article 'a'. Also punctuation: insert commas properly and avoid 'then'. Suggestion: 'reading a Harry Potter book' or 'reading the Harry Potter books' depending on meaning.
