Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and reduce fillers ("umm", "uh"). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use varied vocabulary and correct collocations ("read newspapers", not "read newspaper new"). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. I read newspapers every morning while drinking my tea, which keeps me informed about current events. I also like popular science and general-knowledge books because they help me learn new facts.

Sugestão: Begin with a clear direct answer, avoid repetition ("I prefer to read on paper" repeated). Use precise reasons and natural expressions ("screens strain the eyes" rather than "brain nerves"). Limit to 2–3 sentences and use a linking phrase for reasons.

Exemplo: I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen. For example, printed pages are easier on my eyes and I find them less distracting, so I can concentrate better.

Sugestão: Provide a clear topic sentence answering both parts, and avoid incomplete thoughts. Give specific situations for careful reading (exams, work) and for skimming (news headlines, social media). Use linking words like "for example" and keep sentences complete.

Exemplo: I need to read carefully when studying for exams or when reading technical articles because I must understand details and facts. By contrast, I skim news headlines or social media posts when I only want the main idea.

Sugestão: Answer directly and avoid repetition. Use correct collocations ("detailed reading" or "read in detail"), and give a brief reason for each preference with linking words ("however", "on the other hand"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Exemplo: I usually scan text to get a general idea when I'm short on time. However, I read in detail during exams or when a topic interests me because I need to understand the finer points.

× I like to read books, umm, magazines and newspapers new.

✓ I like to read books, magazines and newspapers.

The word 'new' is misplaced and unnecessary; it incorrectly modifies 'newspapers' here. Remove 'new' to form a natural list of reading materials. Use parallel structure when listing items.

× I read newspaper on a daily basis.

✓ I read the newspaper on a daily basis.

English requires the definite article 'the' with 'newspaper' when referring to reading the paper regularly. Without 'the' the sentence is ungrammatical.

× It's my routine, uh, to read a newspaper while I'm having my morning tea.

✓ It's my routine to read the newspaper while I'm having my morning tea.

The filler 'uh' interrupts the sentence. Removing disfluencies makes the structure clear. Use 'the newspaper' for a habitual, specific action.

× Also, uh, I like to read some astronaut books and uh, uh, books of uh, general knowledge to enhance my knowledge.

✓ I also like to read books about astronauts and books on general knowledge to enhance my knowledge.

Use 'books about astronauts' or 'astronomy' depending on meaning; 'astronaut books' is awkward. 'Books of general knowledge' should be 'books on general knowledge'. Place 'also' before the verb for natural word order and remove filler words.

× Well, actually I prefer to read on a newspaper because reading a newspaper is much easier than reading on a screen.

✓ Well, actually I prefer to read a newspaper because reading a newspaper is much easier than reading on a screen.

Use 'a newspaper' for one copy or instance; context can also allow 'the newspaper'. The original sentence already had 'on a newspaper' which is idiomatic but better as 'read a newspaper' (without 'on').

× And the second thing is screen has a negative effect on our eyes and also on our brain nerves.

✓ Secondly, screens have a negative effect on our eyes and on our nervous system.

Use plural 'screens' for general statement and 'have' for subject-verb agreement. 'Brain nerves' is unnatural; 'nervous system' is the correct collocation. Use 'Secondly' to list reasons and adjust article usage.

× So I usually prefer to read on a paper.

✓ So I usually prefer to read on paper.

Use 'on paper' (no article) when referring to the medium in general. 'On a paper' would refer to a specific sheet.

× I usually read carefully when I found any interest in.

✓ I usually read carefully when I find something interesting.

Mixes present habitual 'usually' with past 'found'. Use present tense 'find' for habitual actions. Also rephrase 'found any interest in' to 'find something interesting' for natural English.

× Some articles and also during exams I read very carefully about the topics, the details and sometimes I I'm not reading carefully because of.

✓ I read some articles very carefully, and during exams I read the topics and details very carefully, but sometimes I do not read carefully if I'm distracted.

Original is fragmented and contains disfluencies and an incomplete clause 'because of.' Combine ideas into complete sentences, remove fillers, and finish the thought by specifying the reason (e.g., 'if I'm distracted'). Use 'do not' for negative present habit.

× When I just want to take an idea of something, then uh, I prefer scanning, but uh, during the exams or gaining knowledge from something interesting, uh, then I usually read in a detail.

✓ When I just want to get an idea of something, I prefer scanning, but during exams or when I'm trying to gain knowledge from something interesting, I usually read in detail.

Use 'get an idea of' instead of 'take an idea of.' Remove fillers. 'Read in detail' is correct; use 'in detail' (no article). Also add 'when' to introduce the clause 'when I'm trying to gain knowledge' for clarity.

× Uh, so umm, like uh, while I'm reading during my exams, then I detailed reading.

✓ While I'm reading during exams, I read in detail.

Original uses incorrect verb form 'detailed reading.' Use the verb phrase 'read in detail.' Remove fillers and unnecessary 'then' for clear sentence structure.
