Hi! Can you please check the conditional structure printed in blue?

Unfortunaltely, the survey confirmed teacher’s misgivings about how students see/saw their required reading. Even 56% of the students was dissatisfied with the choice of the books, 64% of students thought that chosen books were not in accordance with their everyday life/did not follow, 76% read required books because they had to and only 22% of them read due to their personal interests, whereas the majority thought that required reading would be/would have been much more interesting if students had /had had an opportunity to choose the books they liked.



If you have any other comments feel free to write them.

Thank you in advance

Dear Goldmund,

Thank you very much. You've been a great help.

The last sentence is most surprising, no? Right! They would probably choose comics if they could.
