Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise, avoid repetitions and hesitations, and provide a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific supporting details. Use correct verb forms and article use (e.g., 'a lot of books', 'helped me to...'). Aim for 2–3 sentences and include a brief reason or example to enrich your answer.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading, although I don't have much time at the moment because I study and care for my daughter. When I was in high school I read many books on personal development, which helped me improve my study habits and confidence.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give contrasting reasons using linking words (e.g., 'however' or 'but'). Correct word choice (e.g., 'depends', 'paper book', 'more convenient', 'gives me access') and reduce repetition. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: It depends on the situation: in the library I prefer paper books because they reduce distractions and help me focus. However, at home or on the go I use a screen because it is more convenient and gives me easy access to many titles.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then list specific situations with correct vocabulary and linking words (e.g., 'for example', 'however'). Fix unclear phrases ('for studying', 'reading contracts'). Keep statements precise and avoid filler words.

Ví dụ: You should read carefully in situations where details matter, for example when studying for an exam or signing a contract for a job or property. However, you can read more casually when browsing social media or reading for pleasure.

Gợi ý: Provide a direct topic sentence stating your preference and explain with one clear example. Use correct grammar ('it depends', 'I prefer scanning') and avoid trailing or incomplete sentences. Use linking words ('but', 'for example') and finish thoughts fully.

Ví dụ: It depends, but generally I prefer scanning because I focus on main ideas and key facts. However, for important texts like exams or contracts I read in detail to avoid mistakes.

× Yes I do, but unfortunately I don't have time to, to read a lot because I'm, I'm busy about my studying and, uh, taking care of my family, especially my daughter.

✓ Yes, I do, but unfortunately I don't have time to read a lot because I'm busy with my studies and taking care of my family, especially my daughter.

The preposition 'about' is incorrect after 'busy'; the correct collocation is 'busy with'. Also 'my studying' should be a noun phrase 'my studies'. Remove repeated filler words and commas for fluency. Suggestion: use 'busy with my studies' or 'busy studying' depending on style.

× But when I was at high school, I would read a lot of book especially related about personal development as it helped me to.

✓ But when I was at high school, I would read a lot of books, especially those related to personal development, as they helped me.

The singular noun 'book' should be plural 'books' after 'a lot of'. 'Related about' is incorrect: use 'related to'. 'It helped me to' is unclear and inconsistent with plural 'books' — change to 'they helped me'. Suggestion: use 'a lot of books related to personal development' or 'books about personal development'.

× Actually dependence.

✓ Actually, it depends.

The phrase 'Actually dependence' is ungrammatical; the correct verb is 'depends' with the subject 'it'. Use 'it depends' to indicate conditional preference. Suggestion: say 'Actually, it depends.'

× If I'm I'm at library I prefer a paper box because it offers less distraction and more focus.

✓ If I'm at the library I prefer paper books because they offer fewer distractions and more focus.

Use the definite article 'the' with 'library' when referring to a specific place. 'a paper box' is incorrect for printed books; use 'paper books' or 'a paper book'. 'Less distraction' should be 'fewer distractions' (countable). Also change 'it offers' to 'they offer' to agree with 'books'. Suggestion: 'If I'm at the library, I prefer paper books.'

× But if I'm in everywhere and at home I prefer a screen because it more convenient and it gives you an access.

✓ But if I'm anywhere or at home, I prefer a screen because it's more convenient and it gives you access.

'in everywhere' is incorrect; use 'anywhere' or 'out and about'. 'it more convenient' needs the contraction 'it's' or 'it is'. 'gives you an access' is incorrect: use 'gives you access' (no article). Suggestion: '...I prefer reading on a screen because it's more convenient and gives you access.'

× You need to read carefully if you read forest studying or at exam.

✓ You need to read carefully if you are studying for a course or preparing for an exam.

'read forest studying' is a garbled phrase. Likely intended 'for studying' or 'for a course'. 'at exam' should be 'for an exam' or 'in an exam'. Rearranged to a natural English structure. Suggestion: use 'if you are studying for a course or preparing for an exam.'

× Moreover if you read in for contract in job or buying a house or anything like that.

✓ Moreover, if you are reading a contract for a job or when buying a house or anything like that, you should read carefully.

Prepositions and word order are incorrect: 'read in for contract in job' should be 'reading a contract for a job'. Add 'when' before 'buying a house'. Also add a concluding clause to complete the sentence. Suggestion: 'if you are reading a contract for a job or when buying a house...'

× And you don't need to read carefully if you read for knowledge or for fun or something on the social media.

✓ And you don't need to read carefully if you are reading for knowledge, for fun, or something on social media.

Use 'reading' progressive for ongoing actions. 'on the social media' should be 'on social media' (no article). Suggestion: 'reading for knowledge or for fun on social media.'

× So it depends on the situation it's and about.

✓ So it depends on the situation.

The phrase 'it's and about' is redundant and ungrammatical. Simplify to the correct idiom 'it depends on the situation.' Suggestion: end the sentence there for clarity.

× Actually it depended on the situation, but for my preference I prefer scanning about details because I'm not a detailed person.

✓ Actually, it depends on the situation, but personally I prefer scanning for details because I'm not a detailed person.

Use present tense 'depends' to match general preference. 'for my preference' is awkward; use 'personally'. 'scanning about details' should be 'scanning for details' or 'scanning rather than detailed reading.' Suggestion: 'it depends... I prefer scanning for details.'

× So I think if it's a situation need to be detailed and read every word as contract or exam.

✓ So I think if it's a situation that needs detailed reading and every word must be read, such as a contract or an exam, then you should read carefully.

Missing relative pronoun 'that' and missing subject-verb agreement: 'situation need' should be 'situation that needs'. Also clarify examples and complete the conditional. Suggestion: 'a situation that needs detailed reading, such as a contract or an exam.'

× So you should be a detailed person and if you don't.

✓ So you should be a detailed person, and if you don't, you may miss important information.

The sentence is incomplete and lacks an object/completion after 'if you don't.' Add a consequence to complete the thought and improve pronoun reference. Suggestion: finish the clause e.g. 'if you don't, you may miss important information.'
