× Yes, I love reading because readings give me a lot of skills and give me a knowledge and a different subject and it is good for human.
✓ Yes, I love reading because reading gives me a lot of skills, gives me knowledge about different subjects, and is good for people.
Original sentence has incorrect pluralization and article use: 'readings' should be the uncountable noun 'reading'; 'give me a knowledge' should be 'gives me knowledge' (no article + uncountable); 'a different subject' unclear and should be plural 'different subjects'; 'it is good for human' should be 'is good for people'. Also subject-verb agreement: singular 'reading' takes 'gives'. Improve by using uncountable nouns for activities and plural for general nouns, and maintain subject-verb agreement.
× I prefer to read on a paper because it makes me more comfort, confidence and it is beneficial for my mind.
✓ I prefer to read on paper because it makes me more comfortable and confident, and it is beneficial for my mind.
'on a paper' is incorrect: use 'on paper' without an article for the medium. 'more comfort' and 'confidence' need parallel adjective forms: use 'more comfortable and confident'. Maintain parallel structure and correct adjective forms to modify 'me'.
× I have to read carefully and I have an exam in schools or universities or any exam that I have because it's focus and I should focus on a different skills like vocab or listening or reading especially on reading.
✓ I have to read carefully when I have exams at school or university because they require focus; I should focus on different skills like vocabulary, listening, and especially reading.
Original sentence is run-on and unclear. 'an exam in schools or universities or any exam that I have' should be simplified to 'when I have exams at school or university'. 'because it's focus' is incorrect; use 'because they require focus'. 'a different skills' is wrong article-number agreement; use 'different skills'. 'vocab' should be 'vocabulary'. Break into clearer clauses and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct noun forms.
× I don't prefer anything.
✓ I don't prefer either.
The response to 'Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?' should use 'either' to indicate no preference between two options. 'Anything' is generally used in negative sentences about general items, but 'either' is the correct pronoun/adverb for choices between two alternatives.
