Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời có nội dung rõ ràng nhưng hơi dài dòng, lặp ý và có lỗi ngữ pháp/diễn đạt khiến thiếu tự nhiên. Cần bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề trực tiếp, tránh lặp từ (ví dụ “reading” nhiều lần), sửa lỗi collocation (ví dụ “magicians or books” không phù hợp) và hoàn thành ý cuối cùng. Nên dùng 2–3 câu bổ trợ ngắn, dùng liên từ phù hợp để mạch lạc và cụ thể hơn (loại sách, ví dụ cụ thể).

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially self-help books. For example, I recently read a book about time management that taught me practical techniques to plan my day more effectively. As a result, I feel more focused and motivated to work toward my long-term goals.

Gợi ý: Ý chính rõ ràng nhưng câu văn lặp, dùng từ không chính xác (e.g. “somethings”, “do anything with phone”) và thiếu cấu trúc mạch lạc. Cần trả lời trực tiếp, dùng 2–3 câu hỗ trợ với lý do cụ thể (tiện lợi, ánh sáng, cảm giác đọc) và sửa ngữ pháp/điểm phát âm. Tránh lặp “to be honest” nhiều lần.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on a screen because it’s more convenient. For instance, I can carry many books on my phone and read on the bus, and I can adjust the font size for comfort. Therefore, digital reading suits my busy lifestyle.

Gợi ý: Ý trả lời thiếu rõ ràng và có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp, collocation và từ vựng không phù hợp (ví dụ “toughly”, “pay much attention”, “relax my mind after a long hours day” mơ hồ). Nên mở đầu bằng câu chủ đề ngắn, giải thích cụ thể khi nào cần đọc kỹ (ví dụ: hợp đồng, hướng dẫn, đề thi) và khi nào không (ví dụ: đọc tin tức nhanh). Dùng linking words để nối ý và sửa cấu trúc câu.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when I’m doing exams or signing important documents because mistakes can have serious consequences. However, I don’t read carefully when I’m skimming news headlines or casual social media posts, since those don’t require deep understanding.

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời có ý rõ nhưng diễn đạt lủng củng và lặp. Một số từ/biểu đạt không chính xác (ví dụ “make myself more informed in this task”) và thiếu ví dụ cụ thể. Nên nói lý do ngắn gọn, đưa ví dụ thực tế (công việc/đọc email) và dùng linking words để giải thích kết quả/ý nghĩa của việc quét thông tin so với đọc kỹ.

Ví dụ: I prefer scanning because it helps me find relevant information quickly. For example, at work I often scan emails and reports to identify key points, which saves time and lets me focus on tasks that need detailed attention later.

× Of course I have a soft spot for reading, especially reading some self help books.

✓ Of course I have a soft spot for reading, especially for self-help books.

Using 'some' before 'self help books' is unnecessary and 'self-help' requires a hyphen. Use 'for' to indicate preference. Keep noun phrase simple to sound natural.

× To be honest, when reading something like magicians or books, not only do I relax my mind, but I can also expand my knowledge and gain hands on experiences contributing to my long term success in the future.

✓ To be honest, when reading things like magazines or books, not only do I relax my mind, but I can also expand my knowledge and gain hands-on experience that contributes to my long-term success.

'Magicians' is incorrect contextually; 'magazines' fits. Use plural 'things' rather than 'something like'. 'Hands-on' is hyphenated and 'experience' is usually uncountable here so not plural. Add 'that' to link clause and hyphenate 'long-term'. Remove redundant 'in the future.'

× In addition, I think that.

✓ In addition, I think so.

Sentence was incomplete; 'I think that' requires a clause. Replace with 'I think so' or complete the thought to make a full sentence.

× Honestly, I'm keen on reading on the screen rather than on paper.

✓ Honestly, I'm keen on reading on a screen rather than on paper.

Use the indefinite article 'a screen' to refer to screens in general. 'On the screen' suggests a specific screen.

× Saying that when I need to read somethings like magazines or books with just a phone, I can bring it outside and anywhere.

✓ That said, when I need to read things like magazines or books on just my phone, I can take it anywhere.

'Somethings' is incorrect; use 'things'. Use 'on just my phone' or 'just on my phone' and 'take it anywhere' is the natural phrasing. 'Bring it outside and anywhere' is redundant.

× Anywhere it is convenient for me.

✓ Anywhere is convenient for me.

The subject and verb are inverted awkwardly. 'Anywhere is convenient for me' is clearer and grammatical.

× To be honest, I find it so comfortable and relaxing when I can do anything with phone.

✓ To be honest, I find it so comfortable and relaxing when I can do anything with my phone.

Missing possessive article 'my' before 'phone'. Use 'my phone' to show possession.

× As far as I'm concerned, one of the most crucial moments when I need to read carefully and toughly is a time when I do my exam.

✓ As far as I'm concerned, one of the most crucial times when I need to read carefully and thoroughly is when I take an exam.

Use 'times' instead of 'moments' for frequency, 'thoroughly' is the correct adverb, 'do my exam' is unnatural in English; use 'take an exam'.

× To be honest, at the time, I have to pay much attention to this exam to get a higher score and also relax my mind after a long hours day.

✓ To be honest, at that time, I have to pay a lot of attention to the exam to get a higher score and also relax my mind after a long day.

'Pay much attention' is unnatural; use 'pay a lot of attention'. Use 'the exam' for a specific exam. 'A long hours day' is incorrect; use 'a long day'.

× Personally, I prefer scanning to detailed reading.

✓ Personally, I prefer scanning to detailed reading.

This sentence is acceptable but 'detailed reading' could be 'detailed reading' or 'detailed reading sessions'; no article needed. No grammatical change required.

× Saying that when I can scan something like my reading exams, I think that it will make myself more informed in this task.

✓ That said, when I can scan things like my reading exams, I think it will make me more informed for the task.

'Saying that' is awkward; 'That said' is better. 'Something like my reading exams' becomes 'things like my reading exams'. 'Make myself more informed' is incorrect reflexive use; use 'make me more informed'. Use 'for the task' rather than 'in this task'.

× In addition, I can also enhance my performance at work through scanning rather than detailed.

✓ In addition, I can also enhance my performance at work through scanning rather than detailed reading.

Compare scanning with 'detailed reading' (add noun). 'Rather than detailed' is incomplete. Keep parallel structure by using the noun form.
