Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g. tense and article use), and add one specific reason with a linking word. Avoid redundancy and keep it under 5 sentences.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. I have worked in an office for over 20 years, so I use a laptop daily and am much more comfortable typing. Because it is faster and easier to edit, I usually choose typing for work documents.

Suggestion: Provide a single clear sentence stating which you use, then give one specific reason. Fix unclear phrasing (e.g. "90 sector") and use a linking word to connect reason. Keep sentences short and natural.

Example: Yes, I type on my laptop almost every day. My company operates in the IT sector, so most of our communication and documents are created on laptops, which is why I rely on mine daily.

Suggestion: This answer is clear but can be smoothed by removing fillers and combining sentences with a linking word. Add a brief specific detail about what you practiced to enrich content.

Example: I learned to type in elementary and continued in junior high. Since our school had weekly computer lessons, I practiced touch-typing and basic typing exercises regularly, which helped me build speed.

Suggestion: Avoid vague time references and repetition. Give a concise topic sentence about your method, use a linking word to explain why it helped, and include a specific example of an exercise or feature from the app.

Example: I improved my typing by regularly using a popular typing application in Japan. Because it offered timed drills and accuracy feedback, I practiced daily and gradually increased my speed and precision.

× I've been working over 20 years and whenever I use my laptop as work, so I'm familiar with typing much.

✓ I've been working for over 20 years, and since I use my laptop for work, I'm very familiar with typing.

Issues: incorrect preposition/phrase ('over 20 years' needs 'for'), unnecessary 'so' after 'whenever' and wrong clause link causing sentence structure error, incorrect use of 'as work' (use 'for work'), and awkward adverb 'much' (use 'very' or 'a lot'). Suggestion: use 'I've been working for over 20 years' to express duration with present perfect continuous, link clauses with 'and' or 'so' correctly, use 'for work' to indicate purpose, and replace 'much' with 'very familiar' or 'a lot familiar' (idiomatic 'very familiar'). This fits the ongoing employment context.

× Yes I do. I type on my laptop almost every day since my company is a 90 sector so we always use typing through computer.

✓ Yes, I do. I type on my laptop almost every day because my company is in the 90s sector, so we always use computers for typing.

Problems: missing comma after 'Yes', awkward time clause with 'since' requiring present perfect or a reason connector; 'is a 90 sector' is incorrect phrasing (preposition 'in' and clearer noun phrase needed), 'use typing through computer' is ungrammatical (use 'use computers for typing'). Suggestion: clarify meaning of '90s sector' if intended, use 'because' for reason, and 'use computers for typing' for correct verb and preposition usage.

× I learned typing when I was in elementary and junior high school.

✓ I learned to type when I was in elementary and junior high school.

Error: verb pattern—English uses 'learn to + base verb' or 'learn + noun' ('learn typing' is less natural). Suggestion: use 'learned to type' for correct verb complement and keep past tense 'learned' to match time reference.

× Our school had computer lessons once a week, so I was able to, uh, practice my typing.

✓ Our school had computer lessons once a week, so I was able to practice my typing.

Issue: filler 'uh' is unnecessary in written responses; otherwise sentence is correct. Suggestion: remove disfluency for clarity and fluency in speech transcripts. The tense and structure are appropriate.

× Well, I used an application on computer in Japan.

✓ Well, I used a computer application in Japan.

Problems: incorrect word order and missing article—'an application on computer' is unnatural. Use the compound noun 'computer application' and include the indefinite article 'a'. Suggestion: say 'a computer application' or 'an application on the computer' depending on emphasis.

× There was a famous typing application 20 or 30 years ago, so I enjoyed playing this application.

✓ There was a famous typing application 20 or 30 years ago, so I enjoyed using it.

Problems: repeated noun 'this application' is clumsy and 'playing' is the wrong verb for software used to practice typing (use 'using'). Suggestion: replace 'playing this application' with 'using it' or 'practicing with it' for correct verb choice and more natural reference.

× Thanks to this application.

✓ Thanks to that application, I improved my typing skills.

Issue: sentence fragment—'Thanks to this application.' alone is acceptable in speech but weak as a written sentence. Suggestion: expand to show result (e.g., 'I improved my typing skills') to make a complete sentence and clearer meaning.
