Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise, avoid filler words and repetition, and organize your response with a clear topic sentence followed by one or two specific reasons using linking words. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., “drafting” or “brainstorming”) and correct minor grammar (e.g., “it’s faster and easier to edit”).

Example: I prefer typing for formal tasks but handwriting for brainstorming. For example, I type reports because it’s faster, easier to edit, and makes documents neater; however, I handwrite notes when brainstorming because writing by hand helps me think more creatively.

Suggestion: Give a clear, concise topic sentence and one specific detail explaining why. Remove hesitations and repetitions. Use linking words to connect reason to the main idea (e.g., “because,” “so”).

Example: Yes, I type on a laptop every day because my school requires online classes and assignments. As a result, typing has become a regular part of my daily routine and I use my laptop for lectures, notes and homework.

Suggestion: Start with a clear answer (age or time) and then give a brief, specific progression of learning using linking words (e.g., “first,” “then,” “later”). Remove filler sounds and avoid repeating phrases. Clarify what you mean by "use online" (e.g., online lessons or typing games).

Example: I learned to type when I was about ten years old. At first I could only type simple words and short sentences, then I practiced with online typing games and lessons, which helped me increase my speed and accuracy.

Suggestion: Provide a clear main sentence about your method and one or two specific examples of activities you do to practice. Avoid repetition and fillers. Use linking words (e.g., “for example,” “such as”) and mention measurable results if possible (e.g., increased speed).

Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly. For example, I spend time each day typing assignments, chatting with friends, and using online typing exercises to increase my speed and accuracy.

× It depends on the situation. I prefer typing when I write a report because umm, it it's easier and easier to read, edit and faster.

✓ It depends on the situation. I prefer typing when I write a report because it is easier to read, edit, and faster.

The student used 'it it's' (repetition) and mixed comparative forms 'easier and easier to read, edit and faster.' The phrase should be parallel: 'easier to read, edit, and faster' keeps 'easier' as the comparative for readability and speed. Also remove filler repetition. Use 'it is' not 'it it's.' Suggestion: Remove fillers and ensure parallel structure when listing verbs (to read, to edit, and to be faster).

× However, I like I like handwriting when I'm when I have brainstorming.

✓ However, I like handwriting when I am brainstorming.

The student repeated 'I like' and used 'have brainstorming' which is incorrect; 'brainstorming' is a gerund/participle and should be paired with 'doing' or the verb 'brainstorming' used as 'when I am brainstorming.' Suggestion: avoid repetition and use 'am brainstorming' or 'doing brainstorming.'

× Yes I do. Since my school requires to use laptop almost every day, I I it is my it is typing is part of my daily routine.

✓ Yes, I do. Since my school requires using a laptop almost every day, typing is part of my daily routine.

Problems: unnecessary repetitions ('I I it is my it is'), incorrect construction 'requires to use laptop' and missing article 'a laptop.' Correct structure: 'requires using a laptop' or 'requires students to use a laptop.' Suggestion: remove repetitions and use correct verb patterns after 'require' and include articles.

× Uh, a land keyboard, uh, around 10 years old when I was 10 years old.

✓ I learned on a standard keyboard when I was about ten years old.

Original sentence is fragmented and unclear ('a land keyboard'). Use past tense 'learned' for a past event and 'about ten years old' for approximation. Suggestion: use clear verb 'learned' and correct noun 'standard keyboard.'

× Umm, first, first of all, I, I just, I just type umm specific words or simple sentences.

✓ At first, I just typed specific words or simple sentences.

The student describes a past habit when learning to type, so past tense 'typed' is appropriate. Also remove repetitions and fillers. Suggestion: use concise phrasing and correct tense for past events.

× Then I use online to.

✓ Then I used online resources.

'Use online to' is incomplete and incorrect. You need an object: 'use online resources' or 'use the internet.' Also past tense 'used' matches sequence of past events. Suggestion: specify what was used online.

× I improve my typing to by practicing regularly.

✓ I improve my typing by practicing regularly.

The extra 'to' is incorrect before 'by practicing.' Remove 'to' to use the correct prepositional phrase 'by practicing.' Suggestion: use 'by' + gerund to describe method.

× I usually spend a lot of time. I spend a lot of time typing.

✓ I usually spend a lot of time typing.

Sentence repetition and fragmentation. Combine into one present simple habitual sentence. Suggestion: avoid repeating same idea; use one clear sentence.

× When I when I'm doing stuff, doing my work, or chatting with my friends, it occurs. Oh.

✓ When I'm doing my work or chatting with my friends, I practise typing then.

Original: repetition ('when I when I'm'), vague 'stuff', and 'it occurs' is unclear. Use present continuous 'I'm doing' for simultaneous actions and state purpose: practising/typing then. Suggestion: be specific and avoid vague words and unclear pronouns like 'it.'
