Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is slightly repetitive and could be more natural with a concise topic sentence and smoother linking. Try starting with a direct response, give one specific reason, and include a brief example using a linking phrase. Avoid phrases like "I push myself" which sound slightly awkward; use "I make an effort" or "I try" instead.

Ví dụ: I don't enjoy reading much, but I try to read regularly to keep myself informed. For example, I read scientific articles and news reports to stay updated on developments in technology and world events.

Gợi ý: This answer is natural and specific, with a clear reason. To improve, make the structure tighter: give the preference first, then a concise reason and a linking phrase to add context. Avoid unnecessary clauses and slightly informal phrases like "even if I don't wish to."

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on paper because I want to cut down my screen time for health reasons. As a computer science student, I already spend many hours on devices, so paper helps me rest my eyes.

Gợi ý: The answer addresses the question but has grammar errors and some vague wording. Use a clear topic sentence, correct plural/singular forms, and linking words to contrast the situations. Be specific about why certain texts need careful reading.

Ví dụ: I need to read carefully when the text contains new information, technical terminology, or detailed descriptions, because I must fully understand the meaning. On the other hand, I don't read carefully when I scan simple news summaries for general ideas.

Gợi ý: Good structure and contrast with linking words. To improve, make the opening more direct and vary vocabulary (use "skim" instead of "scan", and "read in detail" for variety). Add a brief reason for each preference to make the answer more informative.

Ví dụ: It depends on the text: I usually skim news articles to get the main points quickly, but I read scientific papers and novels in detail because they require deeper understanding and concentration.

× No, I'm not particularly fond of reading. However, I push myself to read to stay educated.

✓ No, I'm not particularly fond of reading. However, I push myself to read to stay educated.

No grammatical error detected that fits the provided list; sentence is correct. It uses present simple 'push' to describe a habitual action and present infinitive 'to read' for purpose, which is appropriate.

× For instance, I read scientific articles and news to stay updated on what happens in the world.

✓ For instance, I read scientific articles and news to stay updated on what happens in the world.

Sentence is grammatically correct: 'read' (present simple) denotes habitual action and 'to stay updated' expresses purpose. No change required per list.

× I prefer reading on paper, mainly because I'm trying to reduce my screen time and stay healthy.

✓ I prefer reading on paper, mainly because I'm trying to reduce my screen time and stay healthy.

Grammar is correct: 'prefer' + gerund 'reading' is appropriate; present continuous 'I'm trying' correctly indicates a current ongoing effort.

× Considering I'm a computer science student, I already have to spend a lot of hours on my devices even if I don't wish to.

✓ Considering I'm a computer science student, I already have to spend many hours on my devices even if I don't want to.

Two issues: 'a lot of hours' is awkward — use quantifier 'many hours' (grammar problem type 14: Incorrect use of quantifiers). 'Don't wish to' is nonstandard in this context; use 'don't want to' (type 6: Present tense issue / 12: Incorrect use of pronouns not relevant). Combined correction uses present tense appropriately and natural wording.

× I need to read more carefully when the passage I'm reading contains new informations, scientific words or even a description part of a novel.

✓ I need to read more carefully when the passage I'm reading contains new information, scientific words, or even the descriptive part of a novel.

'informations' is incorrect pluralization — 'information' is uncountable (type 1: Singular and plural issue). 'a description part' is awkward; use 'the descriptive part' or 'a descriptive part' (type 26: Sentence structure errors/18: Incorrect order of adjectives). The corrected sentence uses uncountable noun 'information' and natural phrasing 'the descriptive part'.

× These kind of texts require more concentration.

✓ These kinds of texts require more concentration.

Subject-pronoun agreement: 'These' (plural demonstrative) should match plural noun form 'kinds' (type 1 and 27: Singular and plural issue and Subject-verb agreement). Alternatively, use 'This kind of text requires' to keep singular. The correction makes plurality consistent.

× Well, my preference depends on the kind of text I'm reading.

✓ Well, my preference depends on the kind of text I'm reading.

Sentence is correct: 'depends' agrees with singular subject 'preference' and present continuous 'I'm reading' is appropriate for ongoing/general actions.

× If it's news, I usually just scan the important parts.

✓ If it's news, I usually just scan the important parts.

Grammar is correct. 'It's' (it is) and present simple 'scan' express habitual action correctly. No change needed.

× However, if it's a scientific article or a novel, I concentrate more.

✓ However, if it's a scientific article or a novel, I concentrate more.

Sentence is grammatically correct: 'concentrate' in present simple describes habitual behavior. No change required.
