Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be clearer and more natural: start with a direct topic sentence (Yes/No), avoid unclear phrases ("understand times"), and give one specific example and brief reason. Keep to 2–3 concise sentences and use linking words like "because" or "for example."

Exemplo: I'm not a big reader, but I do read the HTC Weekend section sometimes because I enjoy lifestyle and culture pieces. For example, last weekend I read an article about local food trends that was informative and easy to follow.

Sugestão: Make the answer clearer, grammatically correct, and concise. Start with a direct statement, then briefly explain the reason with correct tense and connectors. Avoid irrelevant details and fix unclear time phrase ("that weekend").

Exemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I have sensitive eyesight after an accident seven years ago. As a result, printed pages cause less glare and help me focus for longer periods.

Sugestão: Good structure and relevant content. To improve, combine sentences smoothly with linking words and add one brief specific example of an official document to increase precision. Keep language natural and concise.

Exemplo: I read carefully when an official document requires my approval, such as a contract or legal notice, because small details can affect my decision. By contrast, on weekends I read novels or magazine articles more casually for enjoyment.

Sugestão: Good reasoning and example. Improve grammar and cohesion: correct singular/plural forms, tighten phrasing, and finish the final sentence clearly. Use linking words like "however" appropriately and keep within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: I prefer scanning documents because detailed reading is time-consuming and unnecessary for routine tasks. For example, when I check key facts or deadlines at work, scanning helps me find information quickly so I can focus on higher-priority tasks. However, I read carefully when accuracy is essential, such as for legal or financial documents.

× I had an accident 7 years ago that weekend my eyesight so printed papers are more comfortable and soothing that cause less glare and help me focus for longer.

✓ I had an accident 7 years ago that affected my eyesight, so printed papers are more comfortable and soothing; they cause less glare and help me focus for longer.

The original sentence has a past-tense clause with missing verb ('affected') causing confusion. 'That weekend my eyesight' is ungrammatical; it needs a past-tense verb to show the effect of the accident. Also, run-on structure should be split or joined properly with a conjunction or semicolon. Suggestion: include the verb 'affected' after 'that' and connect the clauses with a comma and conjunction or semicolon for clarity.

× By contrast, on weekends I usually read articles or novels for enjoyment, so I don't need to be careful and I read more relaxed.

✓ By contrast, on weekends I usually read articles or novels for enjoyment, so I don't need to be careful and I read more relaxedly.

The issue is incorrect use of an adjective ('relaxed') where an adverb is required to modify the verb 'read'. Adverbs (often formed by adding -ly) are used to describe how an action is done. 'Relaxedly' or a better phrasing 'read in a more relaxed way' should be used. Suggestion: use an adverb or rephrase to 'read in a more relaxed way.'

× I prefer scanning the documents because detailed reading is often time consuming and not necessary for every task.

✓ I prefer scanning documents because detailed reading is often time-consuming and not necessary for every task.

The phrase 'time consuming' should be hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before a noun or as a predicate adjective describing a noun. Also 'the documents' is acceptable but 'documents' is more natural in general statements. Suggestion: hyphenate 'time-consuming' and consider dropping the definite article for general reference.

× For instance, when I need to check key facts or deadlines at work, scanning lets me find the information quickly, so I focus on higher priority task.

✓ For instance, when I need to check key facts or deadlines at work, scanning lets me find the information quickly, so I focus on higher-priority tasks.

There is a singular/plural mismatch: 'task' should be plural 'tasks' because 'higher-priority' modifies multiple tasks or the general category. Also 'higher-priority' as a compound adjective should be hyphenated. Suggestion: use plural 'tasks' and hyphenate the compound adjective.

× However, I still read carefully when accuracy is.

✓ However, I still read carefully when accuracy is important.

The sentence is incomplete and lacks a predicate after 'accuracy is.' This is a sentence structure error; 'accuracy is' must be followed by an adjective such as 'important' to complete the idea. Suggestion: add 'important' or rephrase to 'when accuracy matters.'
