Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be concise, grammatically accurate and avoid redundancy. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms and singular/plural agreement, and add one specific reason with a linking word. For example, use “typing allows me” and “my handwriting is” rather than incorrect forms. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer typing because it allows me to write much faster and is more convenient. Also, my handwriting is very messy, so typing helps ensure my work is neat.

Sugerencia: Good direct answer and clear reasons. Make it more natural by avoiding repetition (e.g., “bring it along with me every time I go out” and “convenient” twice) and combine clauses with linking words. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I use my laptop keyboard every day because it’s portable and easy to carry when I go out. In addition, the laptop’s keyboard feels comfortable for long typing sessions.

Sugerencia: Correct pronoun and tense errors, and make the timeline clearer and more concise. Use linking words (e.g., “when,” “after that,” “since then”) and avoid awkward phrasing like “do a favor of for her.” Limit to 3–4 concise sentences and give a specific short duration and result.

Ejemplo: I first learned to type when I was five because my mother was very busy and asked me to help. After about two hours of practice I became fairly comfortable with the keyboard, and since then I have often helped her type essays.

Sugerencia: Clarify unclear references (what is “SA”?) and avoid filler words (“uh,” “so”). State specific methods you use (e.g., timed typing tests, online lessons, regular practice) and link to purpose. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and correct article use (“an essential skill”).

Ejemplo: I improve my typing by practicing with online typing tests and doing IELTS writing exercises regularly. Because typing is an essential skill for my future career, I try to practice for at least 20 minutes whenever I have free time.

× I prefer typing because it is allow me to type faster and it's much more convenient.

✓ I prefer typing because it allows me to type faster and it's much more convenient.

The modal/auxiliary structure was incorrect: 'is allow' is ungrammatical. This is a subject-verb agreement with a verb form issue; the correct simple present third-person singular of 'allow' is 'allows'. Use 'allows' after the subject 'it' to show habitual fact. Also keep 'it's' contraction for 'it is' which is correct here. Suggestion: Use 'it allows' when stating what an activity enables.

× And one thing is that my handwriting are terrible, so.

✓ And one thing is that my handwriting is terrible.

Handwriting is an uncountable noun here, requiring singular verb agreement. 'Are' is plural and does not agree with the singular/uncountable subject 'handwriting'. Remove the trailing 'so' and end the sentence cleanly. Suggestion: Use 'is' with uncountable nouns (e.g., 'my handwriting is messy').

× I type on my laptop keyboard every day because it is much more convenient for me to bring it along with me every time I go out.

✓ I type on my laptop keyboard every day because it is much more convenient for me to bring it along whenever I go out.

The original sentence is mostly correct grammatically, but 'every time I go out' is wordy and repetitive with 'every'. Replaced with 'whenever' for naturalness. Also avoid repeating 'me' ('bring it along with me' is acceptable but slightly redundant); kept natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'whenever' to express habitual occasions.

× I first learned to type on the keyboard when it was five years old.

✓ I first learned to type on the keyboard when I was five years old.

The subject pronoun is incorrect: 'it' refers to an inanimate subject and does not match the speaker. Use 'I' for the speaker's age. The past tense 'learned' is correct; only the pronoun needed correction. Suggestion: Always use 'I' when referring to your own past actions and age.

× At that time, my mother was so busy and she asked me to do a favor of for her.

✓ At that time, my mother was so busy and she asked me to do a favor for her.

Redundant preposition 'of' is incorrectly inserted before 'for her'. The correct collocation is 'do a favor for someone'. Remove 'of'. Suggestion: Use 'do a favor for someone' or 'do someone a favor'.

× And I've learned to type on the keyboard for about two hours and finally smoothly do it on the keyboard.

✓ And I learned to type on the keyboard in about two hours and could finally do it smoothly.

Mixed tense/aspect and awkward word order: 'I've learned' (present perfect) is unnecessary with a past time frame; use simple past 'I learned'. 'for about two hours' suggests duration to acquire skill, better as 'in about two hours'. 'Finally smoothly do it on the keyboard' is awkward; reorder to 'could finally do it smoothly' to show ability achieved. Suggestion: Use simple past for completed events with specific time and place adverbs.

× And ever since then I have helped her a lot in typing on essays.

✓ And ever since then I have helped her a lot with typing essays.

Preposition use: 'helped her in typing on essays' is unnatural. Use 'help with' plus gerund or 'help someone type essays'. 'Typing essays' is the correct collocation. The present perfect 'have helped' is appropriate for ongoing relevance. Suggestion: Use 'help someone with something' or 'help someone do something'.

× I think processing with SA and IELTS writing has enhanced my typing a lot.

✓ I think practicing SA and IELTS writing has enhanced my typing a lot.

The verb 'processing' is incorrect in this context; likely intended 'practicing'. 'Practicing SA and IELTS writing' correctly uses the gerund after 'think'. This is a word choice issue falling under verb form/usage; corrected to make sense. Suggestion: Use 'practicing' when referring to doing practice exercises.

× Uh, and I know that this is quite a essential skill in the in my later career.

✓ Uh, and I know that this is quite an essential skill in my later career.

Article and vowel-sound rule: 'a essential' is wrong because 'essential' begins with a vowel sound; use 'an'. Also remove the extra 'the' before 'in my later career'. Suggestion: Use 'an' before words starting with vowel sounds and avoid duplicate articles.

× So I whenever I have my free time, I often practice to enhance my typing.

✓ So whenever I have free time, I often practice to improve my typing.

Word order and verb choice: remove extra 'I' after 'So'. 'Practice to enhance' is less natural than 'practice to improve' or 'practice improving'. Use 'improve my typing' for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'practice' followed by an infinitive ('to improve') or gerund ('practicing to improve') correctly.
