Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two brief supporting reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition ("I don't really" used twice) and correct small grammar issues (e.g. "very often" placement).

Exemplo: Not really. I find it hard to concentrate on long texts, and I'm a slow reader, so reading often feels tiring. For example, I usually lose focus after a few pages, which makes it difficult to finish books.

Sugestão: Begin with a clear preference sentence, then give specific reasons. Use correct grammar (e.g. "the sound of turning pages"), linking words ("because", "so"), and avoid colloquial fragments. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: I prefer to read on paper. I enjoy the sound of turning pages and the tactile feel of a book, which helps me concentrate. For instance, when I study, a printed textbook makes it easier for me to annotate and remember information.

Sugestão: Answer directly with contrasting clauses using linking words like "when... but..." or "however." Correct grammar ("when I'm relaxing" or "when I read for relaxation") and be specific about what 'read carefully' means (e.g. studying, annotating).

Exemplo: I read carefully when I prepare for tests because I need to take notes and understand details. However, when I'm reading for relaxation, I skim or read casually without taking notes so I can enjoy the story.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then explain why with specific reasons and an example. Use smoother linking ("because", "so", "however") and correct phrasing ("I might miss important information when I scan"). Avoid vague phrasing like "do everything in the book."

Exemplo: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me fully understand the material and remember key points. If I only scan a text, I might miss important facts or arguments, so I usually read carefully and take notes when the information matters.

× Not really because I cannot focus on reading very often and also I'm a slow reader so I don't really enjoy reading.

✓ Not really, because I cannot focus on reading very often, and I'm a slow reader, so I don't really enjoy it.

The original sentence is mostly correct but 'enjoy reading' is acceptable; however repeating 'reading' at the end is awkward. Replacing the second 'reading' with 'it' avoids repetition and improves cohesion. Also add commas to separate clauses for clarity. Suggestion: use pronouns to avoid repetition and punctuate compound sentences properly.

× As what I said, I don't really like reading, but if I need to, I prefer to read on paper because I like the sound. That flip the paper is really relax me.

✓ As I said, I don't really like reading, but if I need to, I prefer to read on paper because I like the sound. The sound of flipping the pages really relaxes me.

'As what I said' is unidiomatic; use 'As I said'. 'That flip the paper is really relax me' has multiple errors: word order, verb form and subject-verb agreement. Use a noun phrase 'the sound of flipping the pages' and the verb 'relaxes' (third person singular). Suggestion: rephrase awkward clauses into clear noun + verb structures and ensure subject-verb agreement.

× When I need to prepare my test, I need to read my textbook carefully and when I just for relax I won't read the book carefully.

✓ When I need to prepare for a test, I read my textbook carefully, and when I read just to relax I don't read the book carefully.

Use 'prepare for a test' (correct preposition and article). Avoid repeating 'need' unnecessarily; simple present 'read' is better when describing habitual actions. 'When I just for relax' is ungrammatical — correct to 'when I read just to relax'. Use 'don't' instead of 'won't' because talking about habitual action rather than future refusal. Suggestion: use correct prepositions, articles and present tense for habits.

× I prefer detailed reading because I can do everything in the book. However, scanning I think I will miss. I will miss important information.

✓ I prefer detailed reading because I can do everything in the book. However, with scanning, I think I will miss important information.

Original second sentence 'However, scanning I think I will miss.' has awkward word order. Move 'scanning' into a prepositional phrase 'with scanning' and combine the idea into one sentence to avoid repetition. Also combine the last two sentences to 'I will miss important information' as a clause continuing the thought. Suggestion: use appropriate connectors and word order for clarity.
