Reading— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more direct and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence stating your current habit, then briefly add a reason and a contrasting past habit. Avoid vague phrasing (“used to like to learn”) and filler words. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and use linking words (e.g., “however,” “although”).

Exemplo: I don't read very often these days because I prefer watching movies and web series. However, I did enjoy reading when I was a child, especially picture books and short stories.

Sugestão: This answer is clear and relevant but a bit wordy and repetitive. Start with a concise topic sentence, give one specific reason, and finish with a brief contrasting comment if needed. Remove redundancy like “that's why.”

Exemplo: I prefer reading on paper because screens often give me a headache. Also, paper helps me concentrate better and makes it easier to highlight important passages.

Sugestão: Clarify and organize the response: begin with a general statement about when careful reading is necessary, then give two specific examples using linking words. Avoid unclear phrases like “this photo is just to read” and remove fillers such as “uh.”

Exemplo: I need to read carefully when the material is academic or conceptually complex, for example, research articles or theory-heavy chapters. On the other hand, I don't read as carefully when I’m reading light fiction or short news articles.

Sugestão: Good structure and contrast. Make it more concise and add a brief reason for each preference. Use linking words like “whereas” or “however” to make the contrast smoother.

Exemplo: I usually scan when I read stories to get the plot quickly, whereas I read in detail when preparing for exams because I need to understand and remember specific information.

× I do not usually read, but instead I like watching movies and web series.

✓ I do not usually read; instead, I like watching movies and web series.

The original sentence needs clearer clause separation. Use a semicolon or a period to separate independent clauses and add a comma after 'instead' for standard punctuation in English. This improves readability and maintains present simple tense for habitual actions.

× But I used to like to learn when I was six years old.

✓ But I used to like learning when I was six years old.

The phrase 'used to' already indicates a past habitual action, so use the gerund 'learning' rather than the infinitive 'to learn' for natural English. This keeps the past meaning while using correct verb form.

× Definitely reading on a paper is what I feel is comfortable and really suits me because sometimes I get a headache if I read on a screen so that's why I prefer reading on a paper.

✓ Definitely reading on paper is more comfortable and really suits me because sometimes I get a headache if I read on a screen; that's why I prefer reading on paper.

Use 'reading on paper' (no article) as a general activity. Replace 'is what I feel is comfortable' with 'is more comfortable' for clarity and conciseness. Also split the long sentence with a semicolon and remove redundant article 'a' before 'paper'.

× If the sentence is more conceptual or, uh, related to academics, I definitely have to concentrate and read slowly.

✓ If the material is more conceptual or related to academics, I definitely have to concentrate and read slowly.

The word 'sentence' is awkward when referring to academic texts; 'material' fits better. Remove filler 'uh' and ensure subject consistency. The present simple 'have to' is correct for habitual requirement, so keep tense but adjust noun choice for clarity.

× If the sentence contains difficult structure, then I read carefully and this photo is just to read.

✓ If the sentence contains difficult structures, then I read carefully; this part just requires careful reading.

Use plural 'structures' to match 'difficult' items generally. The latter clause 'this photo is just to read' is unclear and likely a misuse; rephrase to 'this part just requires careful reading' to convey meaning. Separate clauses with a semicolon for clarity.

× If I read stories then I usually prefer scanning through the words of the sentences, but detailed reading is a must for me if I'm preparing for exams and have to thoroughly go through all the texts and sentences.

✓ If I read stories, I usually prefer scanning rather than reading every word, but detailed reading is a must for me when I'm preparing for exams and have to thoroughly go through all the texts.

Add a comma after the conditional clause. 'Scanning through the words of the sentences' is wordy; 'scanning rather than reading every word' is more natural. Use 'when' with 'I'm preparing' for time reference and remove redundant 'and sentences' after 'texts'. The tense and modal 'have to' are appropriate for obligation, so retain them.
