× It's depend.
✓ It depends.
Subject 'it' is third person singular, so the verb requires the -s ending in present simple. Use 'depends' not 'depend'. Suggestion: memorize conjugation for he/she/it in present simple and practice sentences like 'It depends on...'.
× I prefer to read on a paper,
✓ I prefer to read on paper,
When referring to the medium in general, English omits the indefinite article before uncountable nouns like 'paper'. 'On paper' is the correct idiomatic expression. Suggestion: learn common prepositional phrases such as 'on paper', 'on screen' without articles.
× but if I just read something short or the topic,
✓ but if I just read something short or a short article on a topic,
The phrase 'the topic' is unclear and uses the definite article incorrectly. Also 'something short' and 'topic' are not parallel. Replacing with 'a short article on a topic' makes the meaning clear and uses proper articles and prepositions. Suggestion: make parallel structure and use 'a' for singular countable nouns when speaking generally.
× When I have to remember the details, I have to read carefully, especially reading for exam.
✓ When I have to remember the details, I have to read carefully, especially when reading for an exam.
Missing article 'an' before 'exam' (countable singular). Also add 'when' to make the clause grammatical. Suggestion: remember that 'exam' is countable and requires an article in this context: 'an exam'.
× But if I just read for fun, for example reading a cartoon book or a novel.
✓ But if I just read for fun, for example when reading a cartoon book or a novel, I do not read carefully.
This fragment lacks a main clause and is incomplete. It needs a main verb to finish the thought. I added a clause to contrast careful reading with reading for fun. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments by ensuring each sentence has a subject and verb.
× Actually I prefer to detail reading than skinning,
✓ Actually I prefer detailed reading to skimming,
Use the adjective 'detailed' to modify 'reading' and the comparative construction 'prefer X to Y'. Also 'skinning' is a misspelling; correct verb/noun is 'skimming'. Suggestion: use 'prefer A to B' and check common collocations ('detailed reading', 'skimming').
× but these day I don't have much time to detail everything I need so sometime I just score ring it or scanning.
✓ but these days I don't have much time to read everything I need, so sometimes I just skim or scan it.
Multiple problems corrected: 'these day' should be plural 'these days'; 'detail everything I need' is unnatural—use 'read everything I need'; 'sometime' should be plural 'sometimes'; 'score ring' seems to be a typo—intended 'skimming' or 'skim'; parallel verbs 'skim or scan' used; added object 'it' for clarity. Suggestion: watch for plural forms of time expressions, use 'sometimes', and choose correct verbs 'skim'/'scan' for quick reading.
