Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer more grammatical, concise and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Correct tense and grammar (e.g., “I was really into” and avoid fragments). Keep to under five sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading. When I was a child I was really into Japanese manga such as Dragon Ball and Doraemon, which sparked my love of stories. Now I still read manga, but I’ve also started exploring novels to broaden my interests.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear comparison sentence and a specific reason with correct grammar. Use linking words like “because” to connect ideas, and avoid fragmented phrases. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen because paper is easier on my eyes. For example, I tried reading PDFs on my phone and found that prolonged screen use gives me eye strain.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a complete topic sentence and give a specific example and reason. Remove filler words (uh) and finish your explanation. Use linking words such as “for example” and “so” to make it coherent.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when I am working, especially as an electrical engineer. For example, I always read instruction manuals and wiring diagrams thoroughly so I avoid mistakes and ensure safety.

Gợi ý: Give a direct preference sentence, then explain with specific reasons. Use correct comparative form (“prefer X to Y”) and finish the thought. Limit to 2–3 sentences and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading to scanning because my engineering work requires precise understanding. For instance, I carefully study technical specifications and calculations to make sure everything is correct.

× When I was a child I really into Japanese manga like Dragon Ball or Doraemon.

✓ When I was a child I was really into Japanese manga like Dragon Ball and Doraemon.

Missing auxiliary verb 'was' and conjunction 'and'; this is a sentence structure and verb form issue. Add 'was' to form the past continuous/state 'was into' and replace 'or' with 'and' for listing examples. Suggestion: use 'was really into' to express past preference and join items with 'and'.

× Now I still love Japanese manga but I also try some new books like. Novels.

✓ Now I still love Japanese manga, but I also try reading new types of books, such as novels.

Fragment and punctuation error: 'like. Novels.' is a sentence fragment. Also verb choice 'try' needs a verb form ('try reading') and 'such as' better introduces examples. Suggestion: combine into one sentence and use 'try reading' or 'try some' with 'such as'.

× I prefer reading on paper than on screen.

✓ I prefer reading on paper to reading on a screen.

Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A than B'. Also add article 'a' before 'screen' for clarity. Suggestion: use the structure 'prefer X to Y' or 'prefer reading on paper rather than on a screen'.

× I have tried reading on the screen like a PDF file on my phone and it didn't work out.

✓ I have tried reading on a screen, for example PDF files on my phone, but it didn't work out for me.

Awkward phrasing and missing clarity: 'like a PDF file' should be 'for example, PDF files' and add 'for me' to clarify 'didn't work out'. Suggestion: rephrase to clarify the example and result.

× I just my eye isn't work well with.

✓ It's just that my eyes don't work well with it.

Missing subject and auxiliary verbs; 'eye' should be plural 'eyes' and 'isn't work' is ungrammatical. Also need a pronoun 'it' to refer to screens. Suggestion: use 'It's just that my eyes don't work well with screens' for clarity.

× I think I have to read carefully when I am working like uh, for example, I'm working as an electrical engineer and I have to, uh, read uh, instruction manual very carefully because.

✓ I think I have to read carefully when I am working. For example, I work as an electrical engineer and I have to read instruction manuals very carefully.

Run-on, filler words, and sentence ending with 'because' without a conclusion. Also 'instruction manual' should be plural for general statement. Suggestion: remove fillers, split into two sentences, use plural 'manuals' and complete the thought.

× I think I prefer detailed reading than scanning because what I am working now is like engineering work, so I have to really dig into the details and I have to careful to.

✓ I think I prefer detailed reading to scanning because the work I am doing now is engineering work, so I have to really dig into the details and be careful.

Use 'prefer X to Y' not 'prefer X than Y'; 'what I am working now' is ungrammatical — use 'the work I am doing now'; 'have to careful to' is incorrect — use 'be careful' or 'be careful about it'. Suggestion: restructure sentence, remove filler words, and use correct verb forms.
