According to English grammar rules, a period should be used for separation, changing 〈, but〉 to 『. But』, making the two sentences independent; ② Conjunction Error: When 〈, but〉 is used as a coordinating conjunction, it cannot connect two independent clauses.

error_type: Pronoun Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Pronoun Error: The original sentence's 〈it's〉, as a contraction of 〈it is〉, is too colloquial and can easily cause ambiguity in formal written expression. According to sentence structure analysis, this part needs to clearly express the judgment that 'reading the original work is the best choice'; therefore, the pronoun form 〈it〉 in the contraction is deleted, retaining the full copula verb 〈is〉, to form the standard subject-copula-complement structure 『reading the original work is the best choice』.

correction: you might
error_type: Adverb Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Adverb Error: 〈maybe〉 and 〈will〉 are semantically repetitive (both express possibility), causing redundancy in expression. Deleting 『maybe』 and retaining 『will』 would fully express future possibility, making the sentence more concise. However, combined with the next correction, a more optimized modal verb solution is actually adopted; ② Other Error: 〈will〉 expresses a definite prediction, which is inconsistent with the speculative tone of the context. Changing to 『might』 can more accurately express the possibility of 'perhaps being able to', forming the appropriate modal structure 『might help us improve』.
