Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with brief examples. Avoid filler words (uh) and redundant phrases. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' to connect ideas.

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand during lectures, I retain the material longer and can review it more easily.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence stating frequency and preference, then support it with a concise reason and a contrast using linking words ('because', 'however'). Remove repetition and correct small grammar ('at work' not 'at the work').

Example: I type on both a laptop and a desktop every day, but I use my laptop more when I travel because it’s portable. However, at home or in my office I usually use a desktop since it has a larger screen and a comfortable keyboard.

Suggestion: Provide a clear timeline and a concise reason. Start with 'I taught myself' or 'I learned when...' Avoid repetition and filler words. Use past tense consistently and give a short example of how you learned (courses, practice).

Example: I taught myself to type when I started a new job three years ago because I was required to use a computer. I practised daily using online typing exercises and by doing my work tasks on the keyboard.

Suggestion: Answer with a clear method and specific details (what you practise, how often, and any tools). Use linking words ('so', 'therefore') and correct phrasing ('I improve my typing speed' not 'timing'). Avoid trailing sentence endings.

Example: I improve my typing speed by practising every day while doing my job. For instance, as a teacher I type lesson plans and emails daily, and I also use short online typing drills for 15 minutes each evening to increase speed and accuracy.

× In my opinion, the handwriting is very important thing for anyone, uh, because this is the basic for writing and for me I cannot uh, remember anything if I did not try it by hand.

✓ In my opinion, handwriting is a very important thing for anyone, because it is the basis for writing, and I cannot remember anything if I do not try it by hand.

Errors: unnecessary definite article before 'handwriting'; missing article 'a' before 'very important thing'; incorrect noun 'the basic' should be 'the basis' or 'a basis'; tense mismatch 'did not try' should be 'do not try' for general present. Suggestions: Remove 'the' before non-count noun 'handwriting', use 'a' for 'very important thing', replace 'the basic' with 'the basis', and use present simple for habitual/general statements. Grammar problem type ID:22

× So yes, I prefer the handwriting more than typing.

✓ So yes, I prefer handwriting to typing.

Error: unnecessary definite article 'the' before non-count noun 'handwriting'; awkward comparative 'prefer X more than Y' should be 'prefer X to Y'. Suggestions: Omit 'the' and use the fixed phrase 'prefer X to Y'. Grammar problem type ID:22

× Every day I'm typing on the desktop and laptop, sometimes at the work because it's easy for me to take the laptop with me anywhere I'm using the laptop.

✓ Every day I type on a desktop and a laptop, sometimes at work because it's easy for me to take the laptop with me wherever I go.

Errors: unnecessary progressive 'I'm typing' for habitual action (use simple present), incorrect article use 'on the desktop and laptop' should be 'on a desktop and a laptop', 'at the work' should be 'at work', and awkward phrase 'anywhere I'm using the laptop' should be 'wherever I go'. Suggestions: Use simple present for routines, use indefinite articles for unspecified devices, and use 'at work' and 'wherever I go' for natural phrasing. Grammar problem type ID:6

× But when I stay home or at my office and my work, I'm usually using the desktop.

✓ But when I stay at home or at my office, I usually use the desktop.

Errors: 'stay home' needs 'stay at home' (preposition), redundant 'and my work' is awkward, progressive 'I'm usually using' should be simple present 'I usually use' for habitual action. Suggestions: Use 'stay at home', remove redundancy, and use simple present for habits. Grammar problem type ID:6

× Really, I'm, uh, I learned this with myself because when I start with a new job, they told me that you must use, uh, the keyboard.

✓ Actually, I learned this by myself because when I started a new job, they told me that I must use the keyboard.

Errors: 'with myself' is incorrect; use 'by myself'. Tense inconsistency: 'when I start' should be past 'when I started' because learning happened in the past. Pronoun shift: 'you must' is general but speaker should report 'they told me that I must' or 'they told me to'. Suggestions: Use 'by myself', maintain past tense for past events, and keep consistent pronouns. Grammar problem type ID:26

× You must, uh, not just use handwriting, just you must use the, the keyboard and laptop desktop.

✓ They told me not to use only handwriting and to use the keyboard, whether a laptop or a desktop.

Errors: repeated 'you must' is inappropriate in reported speech; use infinitive 'told me not to' and 'to use'. Word order and noun phrases 'laptop desktop' unclear—clarify as 'laptop or desktop'. Suggestions: Use proper reporting structure 'told me not to...' and clarify device options. Grammar problem type ID:12

× Because of this, I'm learning this when I start with a new.

✓ Because of this, I learned it when I started the new job.

Errors: tense mismatch and incomplete phrase 'start with a new' missing noun (job). Progressive 'I'm learning' conflicts with past context. Suggestions: Use past tense 'learned' and supply the missing noun 'job'. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I'm improving my timing about my typing by practicing every day.

✓ I am improving my typing speed by practicing every day.

Errors: awkward phrase 'timing about my typing'—use 'typing speed' or 'timing of my typing'. Present continuous 'I'm improving' is acceptable for ongoing improvement but rephrasing yields clarity. Suggestions: Use the correct collocation 'typing speed' and keep present continuous or simple present depending on emphasis. Grammar problem type ID:8

× And I'm practicing when I work really, so I don't spend just a special time for typing.

✓ And I practice while I work, so I don't set aside a special time just for typing.

Errors: progressive 'I'm practicing' can be 'I practice' for habitual action; word order 'when I work really' is unnatural; 'don't spend just a special time' should be 'don't set aside a special time'. Suggestions: Use 'practice while I work' and the phrase 'set aside a special time' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:6

× But because of my work you need typing every day 'cause I'm a teacher and I'm using.

✓ But because of my work I need to type every day because I'm a teacher and I use it a lot.

Errors: pronoun mismatch 'you need' should be 'I need' to refer to the speaker; 'typing' needs verb 'to type'; informal ''cause' should be 'because'; sentence ending 'and I'm using' is incomplete—use 'I use it a lot' or 'I use a computer a lot'. Suggestions: Keep first person consistent, use 'need to type', avoid informal contractions in formal responses, and complete the clause describing what is used. Grammar problem type ID:6
