Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct, grammatical and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. "I prefer handwriting"), give one brief reason and a short example. Avoid fillers, repetition and incorrect articles/word forms.

Example: I prefer handwriting. I find writing by hand more enjoyable and relaxing, and it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes in class I recall the material more easily because I write it out by hand.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use correct verb forms. Say whether you use a keyboard daily, then explain briefly where/when you write. Reduce hesitations and correct plural/article errors.

Example: No, I don't use a desktop or laptop keyboard every day. I usually write in notebooks by hand at home and at school, so I rarely need a computer. If I do use a keyboard, it is only occasionally at the library.

Suggestion: Give a clear time reference and concise description of what you learned. Use past tense consistently and avoid repetition. Provide one or two specific details about the lesson to enrich the answer.

Example: I learned to type when I was in class five. My computer teacher showed us basic touch-typing techniques and explained the keys and number row, and we practiced typing simple sentences to improve speed.

Suggestion: Respond clearly whether you are improving your typing or not. If not, give a brief reason. If you talk about how you would improve it, give specific, realistic steps and use correct verb forms.

Example: At the moment I am not improving my typing because I don't have access to a computer. If I wanted to improve, I would practice on a computer for 20 minutes a day using online typing exercises to build speed and accuracy.

× I prefer to to handwriting because while hand because writing, uh writing, uh, writing is my hobbies so.

✓ I prefer handwriting because writing is my hobby.

Errors: repetition ('to to'), incorrect verb form 'to handwriting' (handwriting is a noun), redundant fragments ('while hand because'), and incorrect plural 'hobbies' with singular subject. Suggestion: Use the noun 'handwriting' after 'prefer' with no 'to', keep a simple clause 'because writing is my hobby.' Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'hobby' not 'hobbies' when speaking about a singular preference.

× Really, I don't have any desktop or laptop keyboard. Uh, I usually writing on a uh, writing on the books, so I don't have any desktop and laptops keyboard during during my hours I will uh, writing on lap laptop.

✓ I don't have a desktop or laptop. I usually write in books, so I don't have a keyboard for a desktop or a laptop. During my free time, I write on my lap laptop.

Errors: unnecessary 'any' with countable nouns here and incorrect pluralization 'laptops keyboard'. Verb form 'writing' used instead of base form 'write'. Repetition and awkward phrasing. Suggestions: Use 'a desktop or a laptop' for singular devices, use 'write in books' for handwriting, and use 'keyboard for a desktop or a laptop'. Use 'write' as the main verb and clarify time phrase 'during my free time.' If the student means they type on a laptop on their lap, use 'write on my laptop on my lap' or 'use my laptop on my lap.'

× When, when I was in class 5 in this time, my computer teacher taught me, uh, typing on the, how to type on the keyboard.

✓ When I was in Class 5, my computer teacher taught me how to type on the keyboard.

Errors: redundant filler 'when, when' and awkward phrase 'in this time.' Verb tense 'taught' is correct but the sentence needs clearer word order: remove extra commas and redundant words. Suggestion: Use 'When I was in Class 5' to set the time and 'taught me how to type' for correct word order.

× And they, they give me idea about the keyboard's, uh, numbers. How can we use and what, what, what are they?

✓ They gave me an idea about the keyboard numbers and how to use them.

Errors: tense mismatch (use past 'gave' to match 'taught'), unnecessary possessive 'keyboard's' instead of 'keyboard numbers', and repetition. Pronoun reference 'them' refers to 'numbers' (plural). Suggestion: Use past tense for completed actions, use 'keyboard numbers' (no apostrophe), and replace multiple questions with a single clear clause 'how to use them.'

× I don't want to improve my typing because I don't have any laptops or, uh, computers to for typing.

✓ I don't want to improve my typing because I don't have a laptop or computer for typing.

Errors: plural/singular inconsistency 'laptops' with general lack, extra words 'to for', and article use. Suggestion: Use 'a laptop or computer' for general singular reference, remove redundant prepositions, and keep consistent present tense 'don't have.'

× If, if, if if I want to improve my typing, I will do uh, I'll do a tax every day on the computer computers and typings and writings writings.

✓ If I want to improve my typing, I will practice every day on the computer, typing and writing.

Errors: repeated 'if', incorrect noun 'a tax' instead of 'practice', plural repetition 'computers', and repeated words 'typings and writings'. Conditional structure is fine but word choice and verb forms are wrong. Suggestion: Use 'practice' as the verb for developing a skill, remove repetitions, use 'typing and writing' to describe activities, and keep future tense 'I will practice.'
