Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence that answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details or an example. Avoid contradictions in the same answer (e.g., saying you don't like reading but then saying you felt really good reading novels as a child) by explaining the change in preference briefly. Use linking words (however, although, because) to make the contrast clear and keep responses within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I don't enjoy reading much now because I often find it boring. However, I used to like reading novels as a child because they were exciting and helped me imagine different worlds. Because my current reading tends to be technical or long, I prefer other activities in my free time.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and provide two clear, specific reasons with smooth linking. Avoid filler words and repetition. Use precise vocabulary (easier to understand, causes eye strain) and keep to 2–3 sentences. Mention a brief example or consequence to strengthen your point.

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I find it easier to concentrate and remember information. Also, long periods of screen reading often give me eye strain and headaches, so I limit reading on devices to short articles.

Sugerencia: Structure the answer with a clear topic sentence covering both parts of the question, then give one specific example for each. Use linking phrases (for instance, in contrast) and avoid hesitations or repeated words. Be concise and precise about strategies (e.g., re-reading, annotating) for careful reading and when scanning is sufficient.

Ejemplo: You should read carefully when the material is complex or important, for example when studying for an exam; in that case, I read slowly and take notes. In contrast, scanning is fine for simple texts like news headlines or emails when I only need the main idea.

Sugerencia: Give a direct preference statement then support it with one or two clear reasons and a short example. Avoid filler words (uh) and vague phrases (wholesome idea). Use cohesive linking (because, for example) and keep the answer within three sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer detailed reading because it helps me understand all the arguments and remember details. For example, when I study an article for a report, I read it carefully and underline key points so I don't miss important information.

× I prefer to read on paper as compared to this screen because reading on paper makes me easy to understand as compared to reading on screen.

✓ I prefer to read on paper rather than on a screen because reading on paper makes it easier for me to understand than reading on a screen.

The original uses incorrect and awkward prepositional and comparative structures: 'as compared to this screen' and 'makes me easy to understand' are wrong. Use 'rather than' for preference and 'on a screen' as the correct prepositional phrase. Also use 'makes it easier for me to understand' to correctly express the effect on the subject. Use 'than' for the comparative clause. Grammar problem type ID:11

× Also, reading on screen can cause strain to the eyes and which affects the uh which affects your eyes indirectly.

✓ Also, reading on a screen can strain your eyes and affect them indirectly.

The sentence repeats and misuses pronouns and relative words ('which affects the uh which affects your eyes indirectly'). Use a singular pronoun 'your' and a clear verb 'affect them' to refer back to eyes. Remove redundant phrases and use 'reading on a screen' with the article 'a'. Grammar problem type ID:12

× As I was a child I was advised to read novel and when reading novel I felt really good.

✓ When I was a child I was advised to read novels, and when I read novels I felt really good.

The original uses 'As I was a child' awkwardly and omits plural/appropriate article for 'novel'. Use 'When I was a child' for time reference, pluralize 'novels' or use 'a novel'. Change 'when reading novel I felt' to 'when I read novels I felt' to use simple past consistently. Grammar problem type ID:5

× Well, I really don't like reading much because while reading it makes me feel bored.

✓ Well, I really don't like reading much because it makes me feel bored when I read.

The clause order is awkward: 'while reading it makes me feel bored' should be restructured. Move the subject 'it' before the verb and place the time clause after or use 'when I read' for clarity. This fixes the sentence structure and improves readability. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I think we need to read carefully when we are not able to understand the concept thoroughly.

✓ I think we need to read carefully when we are not able to understand a concept thoroughly.

The sentence is mostly correct but uses 'the concept' which implies a specific concept; 'a concept' is more natural in general statements. Tense is present and appropriate; change the article for correctness. Grammar problem type ID:6

× So we through we should go back, we should go one word by word while reading.

✓ So I think we should go back and read word by word.

Original has disfluent words ('through') and incorrect phrasing 'go one word by word while reading'. Use 'read word by word' (verb + adverbial phrase) instead of awkward gerund structure. This corrects usage of verb forms and simplifies the sentence. Grammar problem type ID:8

× And when we are not supposed to read is when we we are when we have scanned the passage and we have already understood what the passage is saying.

✓ We do not need to read carefully when we have scanned the passage and already understood what it says.

The original repeats words and uses an awkward structure. Replace the long clause with a concise form and use pronoun 'it' to refer to 'the passage'. This fixes pronoun reference and improves clarity. Grammar problem type ID:12

× Well, I usually prefer detailed reading because scanning just help you to understand overall, uh, information.

✓ Well, I usually prefer detailed reading because scanning just helps you to understand the overall information.

Subject-verb agreement requires 'helps' (third person singular) with the subject 'scanning'. Also add 'the' before 'overall information' for natural phrasing. This corrects tense/agreement. Grammar problem type ID:6

× But when we read thoroughly one word by word, it gives you the wholesome idea about the passage, what has been written, for example.

✓ But when we read thoroughly, word by word, it gives us a complete idea of the passage and what has been written, for example.

Use commas to set off 'word by word', change 'you' to 'us' to match 'we', replace 'wholesome idea about' with 'complete idea of', and use 'of' instead of 'about' after 'idea'. These are prepositional and pronoun consistency corrections. Grammar problem type ID:11
