Reading— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your response more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., 'twice a week', remove 'to' in 'makes me to acquire'). Avoid listing without structure.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy reading a lot. For example, I usually read the newspaper and novels twice a week, which helps me learn about current events and relax after work.

Gợi ý: Clarify comparisons and correct vocabulary errors. Use linking words (however, because) and be specific about advantages. Replace unclear phrase 'when it comes to PayPal' with intended meaning (e.g., 'paywalled content'). Keep sentences concise.

Ví dụ: I prefer reading on a screen because it is more convenient — I can read anytime on my phone. However, paper is better for long texts, and some online newspapers are paywalled, so you have to subscribe to read them.

Gợi ý: Give a clear direct answer and structured supporting detail. Fix grammar (e.g., 'every sentence has meaning', 'you should be careful with every word'). Use an example to show when careful reading is necessary and when skimming is acceptable.

Ví dụ: You should read carefully when following instructions or signing documents because one word can change the meaning. On the other hand, you can read less carefully when skimming news headlines for general ideas.

Gợi ý: Provide a concise topic sentence and one or two specific reasons using linking words (because, therefore). Improve phrasing ('saves time' not 'going to save time than'). Add an example of when you use scanning.

Ví dụ: I prefer scanning because it quickly gives the specific information I need; therefore, it saves time. For example, I scan timetables to find train times instead of reading every detail.

× I love to read the newspaper, my Bible, textbook and novels and I read twice in a week.

✓ I love to read the newspaper, my Bible, textbooks and novels and I read twice a week.

The noun 'textbook' should be plural 'textbooks' to match the series of items and general reading habits. Also 'in a week' is incorrect collocation; use 'a week' or 'twice a week'. Suggestion: Use plural for countable items when listing multiple types, and use 'twice a week' for frequency.

× It helps me to widen my horizon and makes me to acquire more knowledge.

✓ It helps me to widen my horizons and helps me acquire more knowledge.

'Horizon' in this context should be plural: 'horizons'. The verb phrase 'makes me to acquire' is incorrect: 'make' followed by a verb uses base form without 'to' or use 'helps me acquire' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'helps me acquire' or 'makes me acquire' and pluralize 'horizons'.

× I read twice in a week.

✓ I read twice a week.

The preposition 'in' is unnecessary here. Standard English uses 'a week' with frequency expressions like 'twice a week'. Suggestion: Use 'twice a week' for frequency.

× Both are enjoyable, but I prefer to read on the screen than paper because it's convenient.

✓ Both are enjoyable, but I prefer to read on a screen rather than on paper because it is more convenient.

Pronoun/ determiner use and comparison need fixing: 'the screen' vs 'a screen' and 'than paper' should be 'rather than on paper'. Also compare qualities with 'more convenient'. Suggestion: Use parallel prepositional phrases and 'rather than' for comparisons.

× I can read anytime and any day.

✓ I can read at any time and on any day.

Use correct prepositions for time expressions: 'at any time' and 'on any day'. 'Anytime' as one word is informal and 'any day' usually requires 'on'. Suggestion: Use 'at any time' and 'on any day' in formal speech.

× However, when it comes to PayPal, like newspaper, I have to pay or buy it.

✓ However, when it comes to paid newspapers, I have to pay to buy them.

The original sentence is unclear and has structure problems. 'PayPal' is likely incorrect; context refers to paid newspapers. Use 'paid newspapers' and correct verb structures: 'pay to buy them' or simply 'buy them'. Suggestion: Clarify meaning and use plural agreement.

× I think at all times we need to read carefully because all sentence has a meaning actually when given an instruction.

✓ I think we need to read carefully at all times because every sentence has a meaning, especially when giving instructions.

Subject-verb agreement: 'all sentence has' is incorrect; use 'every sentence has' or 'all sentences have'. Word order and clarity improved by moving 'at all times'. Suggestion: Use 'every sentence' with singular verb or 'all sentences' with plural verb, and place time expressions appropriately.

× So what has to be careful with every word that is being read?

✓ So we have to be careful with every word that we read.

The original sentence is ungrammatical in structure. Use active subject 'we' and correct verb forms: 'have to be careful' and 'that we read'. Suggestion: Form questions or statements with clear subject and verb; here a statement is more natural.

× Generally they are both good forms of reading, but I would prefer scanning because it gives the specific instruction or information and it's straight to the point and it's also going to save time than detailed reading.

✓ Generally they are both good forms of reading, but I prefer scanning because it gives specific instructions or information, is straight to the point, and saves more time than detailed reading.

Use plural 'instructions' or 'information' (information is uncountable but 'specific instructions' fits). Remove unnecessary 'would' for preference. Use comparative 'saves more time than' rather than 'going to save time than'. Ensure parallel structure in the list. Suggestion: Keep parallel verbs and use correct comparative forms.
