Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear and consistent: choose one preference and explain with 2–3 concise supporting details using linking words. Avoid contradictions (you said you prefer handwriting but then praised typing). Use correct grammar (articles, verb forms) and limit to 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because typing is faster for long texts and easier to edit. For example, when I write essays for school I can correct mistakes quickly and rearrange paragraphs on a computer. Therefore, I usually type when I need to produce a lot of writing.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence then one or two specific reasons, using linking words like "but" or "because". Fix grammar (use articles and correct word order). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I don't type every day, but I do use a laptop keyboard several times a week because it is portable and convenient. For instance, I often type emails and assignments on my laptop when I go to the library.

Suggestion: Start with a clear time reference and give concise details about how you learned. Use correct past-tense forms and natural phrasing. Limit to 2–3 sentences and include a linking word like "so" or "therefore."

Example: I taught myself to type when I was about fifteen, so I learned by practicing online typing lessons and doing lots of school assignments. As a result, my speed improved steadily over a year.

Suggestion: Give a clear method sentence and add a specific example or result. Use linking words such as "because" or "for example," and avoid filler words like "actually." Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly—especially by writing essays and emails for college. For example, typing three essays a week helped me increase my speed and reduce errors over a few months.

× I prefer to handwriting because it's fast and easy for me.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it's fast and easy for me.

The verb 'prefer' should be followed by a noun or gerund without 'to' when contrasting two activities (prefer + gerund or prefer to + base verb + rather than). 'To handwriting' is incorrect; use the gerund 'handwriting' or say 'to handwrite'. Suggestion: 'I prefer handwriting' or 'I prefer to handwrite.'

× For example, I won't write a essay, I can write essay fast with computers or it is very easy fast method, so I like to type in.

✓ For example, I won't write an essay by hand; I can write essays quickly on a computer, so I like to type.

Articles: 'a essay' should be 'an essay' before a vowel sound. Also 'write essay' needs plural or article ('write essays' or 'write an essay'). 'Computers' is acceptable but 'on a computer' is clearer. 'Very easy fast method' is awkward; use adverb 'quickly' and noun 'method' if needed. Remove unnecessary 'in.' Suggest: 'I won't write an essay by hand; I can write essays quickly on a computer.'

× No, I'm not typing every day, but I some days I type in a laptop keyboard because it's very easy and I can bring everywhere that.

✓ No, I don't type every day, but some days I type on my laptop because it's convenient and I can take it everywhere.

Habitual actions use simple present 'I don't type' not present continuous 'I'm not typing.' 'I some days' should be 'some days I'. Use preposition 'on' for keyboards and 'my laptop' or 'a laptop.' 'Bring everywhere that' is ungrammatical; use 'take it everywhere' or 'bring it everywhere.'

× So not every day but sometimes I type laptop keyboard.

✓ So not every day, but sometimes I type on a laptop keyboard.

Missing preposition 'on' before 'a laptop keyboard.' Also include article 'a' and comma for clarity. Use simple present for habitual action: 'I type.'

× I learned to in myself because not anyone teach to me how to use, how to type laptop, how to type keyboards.

✓ I taught myself because no one taught me how to use or how to type on a laptop keyboard.

Use past tense consistently: 'learned' is okay but 'learned to in myself' is incorrect; idiomatic expression is 'taught myself.' 'Not anyone' should be 'no one' and 'teach to me' should be 'taught me.' Use 'type on a laptop keyboard.' Maintain past tense 'taught.'

× So I learn in myself.

✓ So I taught myself.

Mix of present 'learn' and awkward phrasing 'in myself.' Use past tense 'taught myself' or 'learned by myself' to match earlier past-tense context. Use 'myself' without 'in.'

× Actually, I improve it because I type a lot of essays and some emails for college, so that's helped me for improving my typing.

✓ Actually, I improved it because I typed a lot of essays and emails for college, so that helped me improve my typing.

Tense consistency: describe past actions that led to improvement using past tense 'improved' and 'typed.' 'That's helped me for improving' is ungrammatical; use 'that helped me improve' or 'that has helped me improve.' Also 'some emails' -> 'emails' is sufficient. Use base verb 'improve' after 'helped'.
