Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and confident. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid filler words (uh, umm) and grammatical mistakes (e.g., "things need to be do").

Example: I prefer typing because it is faster and easier to edit. For example, when I write essays or emails I can quickly correct mistakes and reorganize sentences, whereas handwriting is useful only for quick notes or when I have to submit a signed document.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer first, then add a brief, coherent detail. Correct grammar ("I borrowed my laptop to my mother"→"my mother borrowed a laptop to me" or "I borrowed a laptop from my mother") and remove repetition and fillers.

Example: I don't type every day, but I usually use my mother's laptop in the evenings. For instance, I often type assignments or read articles after dinner when I feel motivated to work.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear time reference and explain briefly how you learned. Avoid unclear phrases and incorrect numbers; be specific and use linking words like "because" or "so".

Example: I learned to type in my third year of high school because we had a computer literacy class. In that course we practiced timed typing exercises of about 250–300 words, which improved my speed and accuracy.

Suggestion: Give a clear method and a concise example. Use logical linking words (e.g., "first," "then," "by") and avoid vague statements. Correct collocations ("practice makes perfect").

Example: I improve my typing by practicing daily and using online typing exercises. For example, I spend 20 minutes each evening on a typing website to improve speed, and I also type excerpts from books to practice accuracy and different punctuation.

× I can do both. I prefer typing. It depends if uh I have something to submit through computer and I also do writing as well if umm things need to be do in written.

✓ I can do both. I prefer typing. It depends on whether I have something to submit by computer, and I also write if things need to be done in writing.

Errors: incorrect prepositions 'depends if' should be 'depends on whether'; 'through computer' should be 'by computer'; 'do writing' is unnatural, use 'write'; 'need to be do' requires passive 'need to be done'; 'in written' should be 'in writing'. Suggestion: use 'depends on whether', choose correct prepositions ('by'), use passive correctly, and prefer 'write' for the activity.

× Not every day, but I use umm laptop. I borrowed my laptop. I borrowed laptop to my mother and I often do typings at laptop every in the evening. It depends if I'm the mood to do something.

✓ Not every day, but I use a laptop. I borrowed my laptop; I lent my laptop to my mother, and I often type on the laptop in the evening. It depends if I'm in the mood to do something.

Errors: missing article 'a laptop'; confusion between 'borrowed' and 'lent'—speaker should say 'I lent my laptop to my mother' if they gave it to her; 'borrowed laptop to my mother' is incorrect pronoun/verb use; 'do typings' is incorrect—use 'type'; missing preposition 'on the laptop'; 'every in the evening' is wrong order -> 'in the evening'; 'I'm the mood' needs 'in the mood'. Suggestion: use correct verbs for borrowing/lending, include articles, and use correct prepositions.

× Uh, I think that was when I'm a third year high school because we have sunshine computer literate and we are allowed to do type words like 300 to 202 fifty to 300 words. And I think, uh, it really helps me a lot.

✓ I think that was when I was a third-year high school student because we had a basic computer literacy class and we were allowed to type about 250 to 300 words. And I think it really helped me a lot.

Errors: tense mismatch 'that was when I'm' should be past 'I was'; 'have sunshine computer literate' is incorrect phrase -> likely 'had a basic computer literacy class'; 'are allowed' should be past 'were allowed'; numbers were confused '300 to 202 fifty to 300' clarified to a plausible '250 to 300'; 'helps' should be past 'helped' to match time frame. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent for past events and use clear noun phrases for classes.

× I improve my typing based on doing it every day and try read books and do types. What on the books? Just practice. I think practice and practice makes you perfect.

✓ I improve my typing by doing it every day, trying to read books and type. Just practice. I think practice makes perfect.

Errors: 'based on doing it' better as 'by doing it'; parallel structure needed: 'doing..., trying...' instead of mixing forms; 'try read' should be 'trying to read' or 'try to read'; 'do types' incorrect — use 'type'; 'practice and practice makes you perfect' has redundancy and subject-verb agreement—use 'practice makes perfect'. Suggestion: use gerunds consistently for activities, maintain parallel structure, and correct verb agreement.

× I think practice and practice makes you perfect.

✓ I think practice makes perfect.

Error: subject 'practice and practice' is awkward and suggests plural, causing incorrect verb 'makes' ambiguity. The idiomatic expression is 'practice makes perfect' with singular subject 'practice' and verb 'makes'. Suggestion: use the common fixed phrase 'practice makes perfect' or rephrase to 'repeated practice makes you perfect'.
