Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear, direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid absolute negatives and add a brief qualification to sound natural. Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences). For example, mention what types of reading make you sleepy and any exceptions.

Ví dụ: I don't usually enjoy reading much because I tend to get sleepy when I read, which makes the rest of my day less productive. However, I do like short articles or comics because they are more engaging and keep my attention.

Gợi ý: Start with a concise topic sentence stating your preference, then give a clear reason using linking words. Avoid filler words (uh) and be more specific about distractions and benefits of paper. Keep to two to three sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because it helps me focus; there are no pop-ups or notifications to distract me. In contrast, reading on a phone often tempts me to swipe or check apps, which breaks my concentration.

Gợi ý: Answer directly by distinguishing two situations (when careful reading is needed and when it's not). Use linking words (for example, however) and give specific examples of materials that require careful reading. Eliminate repetition and minor grammatical errors.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when I'm studying for exams or reading official documents because I must understand details. However, I don't read carefully when I'm skimming news headlines or social media posts, since those only require a quick overview.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then support it with a specific reason and an example of when you use scanning. Mention a situation where detailed reading is necessary to show balance.

Ví dụ: I prefer scanning because it's faster and lets me pick out key information while multitasking, for example when checking emails. That said, I use detailed reading for textbooks or contracts when accuracy matters.

× No, I don't like reading because every time I read it makes me fall asleep and my day won't be productive anymore.

✓ No, I don't like reading because every time I read, it makes me fall asleep and my day isn't productive anymore.

The sentence mixes future 'won't be' with a general present-time habit. Use present simple 'isn't' to describe the general result of the habit; add a comma after 'read' for clarity.

× I prefer to read on a paper.

✓ I prefer to read on paper.

The phrase 'on paper' is an uncountable idiomatic expression; using the indefinite article 'a' is incorrect. Remove 'a' to use the correct fixed expression.

× It is because there is no distraction at all.

✓ This is because there are no distractions at all.

Use 'this is because' to refer to the previous idea; 'distraction' should be plural 'distractions' to match 'no' when referring to countable things, and 'there are' is required for plural.

× Whereas when using, uh, a mobile phone, you can directly, uh, swipe to the right side to the left.

✓ When using a mobile phone, you can easily swipe to the right or to the left.

Remove filler 'whereas' which creates an incomplete contrast and correct word order: 'When using a mobile phone' is the correct clause. 'Directly' is less natural here than 'easily', and 'to the right or to the left' is the proper phrasing.

× I'm comfortable reading at night because the ambience is good and the silence is much better than on daylight.

✓ I'm comfortable reading at night because the ambience is good and the silence is much better than during the day.

Use 'during the day' instead of 'on daylight'; 'during the day' is the correct prepositional phrase. 'Ambience' is acceptable but consider 'atmosphere' if preferred.

× So I I keep concentrating reading, especially at night.

✓ So I keep concentrating on reading, especially at night.

Remove the repeated 'I'. Use the correct verb + preposition combination 'concentrating on reading' rather than 'concentrating reading'. This fixes sentence structure and collocation.

× I prefer scanning because it is more convenient and I can do other things.

✓ I prefer scanning because it is more convenient and I can do other things at the same time.

The original sentence is mostly correct, but adding 'at the same time' clarifies the meaning. Tenses are appropriate (present simple for preference and ability).
