Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is natural and relevant but has some grammatical errors and redundancy. Improve accuracy (e.g., verb forms and article use), tighten sentences, and vary vocabulary slightly. Keep to a clear topic sentence, one or two supporting details, and use a linking word to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes, I love reading. I usually aim to read a couple of physical books each month, and I also listen to audiobooks. Recently, I started borrowing audiobooks electronically from my library, which is very convenient.

Gợi ý: The answer addresses the question but contains grammatical mistakes and unclear phrases (e.g., 'Kindle Electric', 'leaving in the US'). Improve accuracy, use concise phrasing, and supply a brief reason with linking words for coherence.

Ví dụ: I prefer printed books for most reading because I like the feel of paper. However, for Japanese books I usually buy them on Kindle because printed Japanese editions are hard to find where I live in the US.

Gợi ý: Good content and clear distinction between situations, but grammar and sentence flow need correction. Use a clear topic sentence, then link reasons with words like 'because' or 'however'. Be specific about the types of work reading to add detail.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when the material will be used at work, for example in presentations or meetings, because accuracy matters. However, if I'm reading for pleasure, I often skim sections to save time.

Gợi ý: Your answer is honest and relevant but slightly repetitive and has minor grammatical issues. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give a brief reason and a specific example. Use linking words like 'however' or 'for example' for clarity.

Ví dụ: Ideally I prefer detailed reading, but in practice I usually skim because I'm pressed for time. For example, I often skim business books to extract key ideas rather than read every chapter thoroughly.

× I do love reading. I try to read separate books a month in addition to audiobooks.

✓ I do love reading. I try to read several books a month in addition to audiobooks.

The original uses 'separate' which is incorrect in this context; 'several' (a quantifier) correctly expresses 'more than one' per month. This is an incorrect use of word choice related to quantifiers and gerund context; replace 'separate' with 'several' to convey the intended meaning. Suggestion: Use 'several' or 'a few' when you mean more than one item per month.

× Recently I can borrow audiobooks electronically from my library, which is quite convenient.

✓ Recently I have been able to borrow audiobooks electronically from my library, which is quite convenient.

The simple present 'I can' with 'recently' is inconsistent; use present perfect progressive 'have been able' to show a recent change continuing to the present. 'Recently' signals a change starting in the past and continuing now, so use present perfect or present perfect continuous. Suggestion: Use 'have been able to' or 'have been borrowing' for ongoing recent actions.

× I prefer to read printed materials, although when I read Japanese books, I tend to purchase books through Kindle Electric platform because I have little access to Japanese printed materials since I'm leaving in the US.

✓ I prefer to read printed materials, although when I read Japanese books, I tend to purchase them through the Kindle platform because I have little access to Japanese printed materials since I'm living in the US.

Errors: 'through Kindle Electric platform' is incorrect preposition/word order and 'Electric' is wrong; use 'the Kindle platform'. 'Purchase books' repeated is redundant; use 'purchase them'. 'Leaving in the US' is incorrect verb; should be 'living in the US' to indicate residence. Correct prepositions and verb forms clarify meaning. Suggestion: Use 'through the Kindle platform' and 'living in the US' for correct preposition and verb usage.

× When I know I use information from books will be used for work or use the information for presentations or conversations with my colleagues, I pay extra attention.

✓ When I know the information from books will be used for work or for presentations and conversations with my colleagues, I pay extra attention.

Original sentence has a convoluted structure and repetition 'I know I use information... will be used' causing grammatical confusion. Simplify to 'When I know the information from books will be used...' to create a clear subordinate clause. Also add 'for' before 'presentations' and 'conversations' for parallel structure. Suggestion: Form the subordinate clause properly: 'When I know the information ... will be used for X, I pay extra attention.'

× But if the reading is only for personal, sometimes I just skim because my time is limited.

✓ But if the reading is only for personal purposes, sometimes I just skim because my time is limited.

'For personal' is incomplete; the noun 'purposes' is required. This is an incorrect use of adjective where a noun phrase is needed. Use 'personal purposes' or 'personal interest'. Suggestion: Use 'for personal purposes' or 'for personal interest' to complete the phrase.

× I wish I could read in detail every time I open books, but unfortunately typically I'm pressed for time so I end up skimming eventually.

✓ I wish I could read in detail every time I open a book, but unfortunately I'm typically pressed for time, so I end up skimming.

'Open books' should be singular 'open a book' to match 'every time'. Word order 'unfortunately typically' is awkward; use 'unfortunately I'm typically' or 'typically I'm'. 'End up skimming eventually' is redundant; choose one ('end up skimming'). Adjust articles and adverb placement. Suggestion: Use singular with 'every time' and place adverbs naturally: 'unfortunately I'm typically pressed for time, so I end up skimming.'

× Especially it is quite typical for me when I'm reading business books.

✓ This is especially typical for me when I'm reading business books.

Original word order is awkward; place 'especially' before 'typical' and start with 'This' to refer to the previous idea. Preposition 'for me' is fine but sentence structure should be corrected for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'This is especially typical for me when I'm reading business books.' for natural word order.
