Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and use present tense for preferences; avoid fillers and overgeneralized claims. State your preference clearly, give one specific reason with a brief explanation, and limit to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words (because/so) to connect ideas and avoid unsupported health claims unless you explain them.

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because I find it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand I can organize ideas visually, so I retain details more effectively.

Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammar (use 'easier' and concise phrasing). Give a specific reason and one brief supporting detail. Use linking words like 'because' and avoid repetition.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I can carry it wherever I go. This makes it easier to work from cafés or the university instead of being tied to a desktop at home.

Suggestion: Use past tense consistently and avoid vague or unclear phrases. State when and briefly how you learned, with one specific detail about the method or duration. Remove repeated fillers and unclear appreciation sentence.

Example: I learned to type at primary school when our computer teacher taught us basic touch-typing over a few lessons. For instance, we practiced typing drills twice a week to build speed and accuracy.

Suggestion: Be precise about methods used to improve typing: practice, specific exercises, or tools. Use clear linking words (for example, by/through) and avoid passive or vague phrases. Give one concrete example of an activity that helped improvement.

Example: I improved my typing mainly through regular coursework and practice. For example, typing many essays and completing timed assignments for university forced me to type faster and reduced my errors.

× I preferred handwriting as I usually use papers with pen or pencil.

✓ I prefer handwriting as I usually use paper with a pen or pencil.

The student used 'preferred' (past) while describing a general present preference; change to present simple 'prefer'. Also 'papers' should be 'paper' (uncountable) and include articles 'a pen or pencil'. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual preferences and correct noun and article use.

× I think it is the best way to write as umm typing is when we use computers, laptops and so on and this really affect our physical health.

✓ I think it is the best way to write because typing is when we use computers, laptops and so on and this really affects our physical health.

Use 'because' for reason instead of 'as' for clarity. 'Affect' needs third person singular agreement 'affects' to match singular subject 'this'. Maintain present simple for general statements.

× I write on the laptop keyboard every day as I prefer to hold my laptop everywhere I go and this is more easier for me to work in everywhere I would be and instead of just keeping at home and using desktop.

✓ I type on my laptop keyboard every day because I prefer to carry my laptop everywhere I go, and it is easier for me to work anywhere than to stay at home and use a desktop.

Use 'type' instead of 'write' for keyboards. 'Carry' is better than 'hold' in this context. 'More easier' is incorrect; use 'easier'. 'Everywhere I would be' is ungrammatical; use 'anywhere I go' or 'anywhere'. Article 'a' needed before 'desktop'. Keep present simple for habitual actions.

× I actually learned this at school.

✓ I actually learned it at school.

Use 'it' instead of 'this' for natural reference to learning a skill. Past tense 'learned' is correct because the action occurred in the past; only small pronoun correction needed.

× The teacher of it, uh, teach us how to type on the keyboard in the very basic way.

✓ The teacher taught us how to type on the keyboard in a very basic way.

The original mixes tenses: 'teach' should be past 'taught' to match 'learned' earlier. Also 'The teacher of it' is awkward; simplified to 'The teacher'. Use article 'a' with 'very basic way'.

× So we asked students, we were very, uh, appreciate about that.

✓ So we, the students, were very appreciative of that.

'Appreciate' should be the adjective 'appreciative' and use preposition 'of'. 'So we asked students' is unclear and likely incorrect; changed to 'we, the students' to express who felt appreciation. Maintain past tense 'were'.

× I think my typing was improved during the different assignments, homework and other works during my school, my university.

✓ I think my typing improved through different assignments, homework and other work during school and university.

Passive 'was improved' is unnatural; use active 'improved'. 'Other works' should be 'other work'. Remove redundant articles and use 'school and university' without 'my' repeated. Present simple 'think' with past improvement 'improved' is acceptable.

× So when our teachers and the tutors provide us this assignment, we directly improved our writing.

✓ So when our teachers and tutors gave us these assignments, we directly improved our writing.

Mix of present 'provide' and past 'improved' is inconsistent; use past 'gave' to match 'improved'. Use plural 'assignments' with demonstrative 'these'. Also omit 'the' before 'tutors' unless specific. Maintain clear past sequence.
