Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more direct and specific. Start with a clear topic sentence that answers the question, then give one or two specific reasons with minimal hesitation. Avoid filler words like “uh” and correct grammar (e.g., use “helps me improve my exam skills”). Keep answers within three sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading. It helps me improve my vocabulary and prepares me for exams, especially by teaching me how to understand questions more quickly.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and give a clear, relevant reason. Avoid irrelevant references (social media) unless you link them to reading. Remove hesitations and use correct grammar (e.g., “it’s easier” and “helps me search for information”). Use one linking phrase to expand.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on a screen because it’s more convenient; I can adjust the font size and quickly search for information, which saves time when I’m studying.

Gợi ý: Provide a complete response: start with a clear topic sentence addressing both parts (when to read carefully and when not). Give brief supporting details and avoid one-word or irrelevant answers. Use linking words like “when” and “but” to contrast situations.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when I study complex material for exams, for example in the evenings before a test, but I don’t read carefully when I’m browsing social media or casual news in the morning.

Gợi ý: Give a concise topic sentence stating your preference and then explain why with one specific example. Correct grammar (e.g., “I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand complex ideas”) and avoid hesitation. Use a linking word to connect reason and example.

Ví dụ: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand complex ideas; for example, when I study a science article I read slowly and take notes to remember the main points.

× Yes, I like reading because that takes me to improve, uh, my skill to answer the exam.

✓ Yes, I like reading because it helps me improve my skills to answer exam questions.

The original sentence misuses 'that takes me to improve' which is ungrammatical. Use 'helps me improve' (verb + base form after 'help') and 'skills' plural. Also replace vague 'the exam' with 'exam questions' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'help(s) someone do something' and pluralize countable nouns when appropriate.

× I prefer to read on a screen because umm that easy.

✓ I prefer to read on a screen because that's easier.

'That easy' is missing the verb and comparative form. Use the contraction 'that's' (that is) and the comparative adjective 'easier' to compare reading on a screen with other options. Suggestion: include the correct form of 'be' and the comparative when comparing two options.

× Social media is umm help you umm to searching something umm in your hand.

✓ Social media can help you search for things on your phone.

The original mixes forms: 'is help' is incorrect; 'to searching' misuses gerund after 'to'. Use modal 'can' or 'helps' and the bare infinitive 'search' or 'help you search'. Also 'in your hand' is unnatural; use 'on your phone'. Suggestion: use 'help someone do something' or 'can help someone to do something' and correct prepositional phrase for devices.

× At 5:00 AM.

✓ I usually need to read carefully at 5:00 AM.

The response 'At 5:00 AM.' is a sentence fragment without a verb. Provide a full sentence that answers the question about when careful reading is needed. Suggestion: include subject and verb to form a complete sentence.

× I prefer go to detail. I'm ready because they can help you, umm, to. Take your time.

✓ I prefer to read in detail. I'm prepared to take my time because it helps me.

'I prefer go to detail' is missing 'to' and uses awkward phrase; use 'prefer to read in detail' or 'prefer detailed reading'. 'I'm ready because they can help you, to. Take your time.' is fragmented and unclear. Replace with 'I'm prepared to take my time because it helps me.' Ensure infinitive after 'prefer' and coherent clause structure. Suggestion: keep verbs and infinitives consistent and combine fragments into complete sentences.
