Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and clear: start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with clear linking words. Avoid repetition and grammatical errors (use correct tense and sentence structure). Focus on coherence and limit to 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. Firstly, typing lets me easily correct mistakes, so I can fix grammar and spelling quickly. Secondly, it is faster for me and makes editing simple when I need to rewrite a sentence.

Suggestion: Respond directly and add one specific detail: begin with a direct statement about frequency, then explain why you use both with a brief reason. Use linking words (however, because) and avoid vague phrases like 'they're both the same.'

Example: I don't type on a keyboard every day, but I use both a desktop and a laptop when I need to. Because their keyboards feel similar to me, I choose whichever device is available. However, I usually prefer the laptop for convenience when I travel.

Suggestion: Give a clear time statement then explain the context in two coherent sentences. Fix grammar (use past tense consistently) and avoid confusing pronoun references. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' correctly and keep it concise.

Example: I learned to type at about eight years old. My mother worked at a call center, and when she had days off I watched YouTube tutorials, which helped me practice typing so I could search for videos by myself.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence about your improvement method, then give one or two concrete activities (e.g., timed practice, typing tests, accuracy focus). Use correct grammar (subject-verb agreement) and concise linking words such as 'for example' or 'by.'

Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly. For example, I do timed typing tests to increase speed and I focus on accuracy by typing full sentences slowly until I stop making spelling mistakes.

× 'I prefer typing because you can change the words that you are not really sure I'm sending it to them.'

✓ 'I prefer typing because you can change words you are not sure about before sending them.'

'Subject-verb agreement and sentence structure: the original mixes clauses and pronouns incorrectly (e.g. "you are not really sure I'm sending it to them"). Simplify and reorder: use "words you are not sure about before sending them." This fixes the unclear reference to "it/them" and corrects sentence structure.'

× 'Like the grammar is not right so you need to change some few words.'

✓ 'For example, if the grammar is not right, you can change a few words.'

'Sentence structure and word order: beginning with "Like" is informal and the phrase "change some few words" is incorrect word order. Use "for example" or restructure to "you can change a few words." Also add a comma before the result clause.'

× 'So I really prefer typing for myself because I my grammar is not that good as it is.'

✓ 'So I really prefer typing because my grammar is not that good.'

'Sentence structure and extra words: the phrase contains redundancy and a missing word order ("I my grammar"). Remove the extra pronoun "I" and the unnecessary clause "as it is." Keep the simple comparative "not that good." If you want to compare, use "not as good as others." '

× 'So typing is my best answer.'

✓ 'So typing is my preferred method.'

'Word choice and sentence structure: "best answer" is odd in this context. Use "preferred method" or "preferred option." This makes the sentence natural and fits the question about preference.'

× 'Not really every day, but I use both of them actually because there's no difference.'

✓ 'Not every day, but I use both because there is no difference between them.'

'Tense/aspect and pronoun reference: "Not really every day" is colloquial; "not every day" is clearer. Change "there's" to "there is" and add "between them" to complete the comparison.'

× 'They're both the same.'

✓ 'They are basically the same.'

'Register and clarity: contraction is acceptable in speech, but in written correction use "They are basically the same" for clarity and to indicate approximation.'

× 'You press a letter and it pops up on your monitor, so it doesn't really matter which one you use, you still get to type all the words you want to type.'

✓ 'When you press a key the character appears on the screen, so it does not matter which one you use; you can type all the words you want.'

'Word choice and sentence structure: "press a letter" is better as "press a key" and "pops up on your monitor" is awkward—use "appears on the screen." Use a semicolon or separate clauses to avoid a comma splice and simplify "get to type" to "can type." '

× 'At the age of 8 because my mom used to work at call centers so when I'm bored and he had she has a day off.'

✓ 'I learned at the age of eight because my mom used to work at a call center, so when she had a day off I would watch her and learn.'

'Past tense and pronoun errors: original mixes present and past ("I'm bored," "she has"). Use past tense consistently for past events: "used to work," "she had a day off," and use clear pronouns. Also change "call centers" to "a call center" unless plural is intended, and replace awkward structure with "I would watch her and learn." '

× 'I get to watch some videos on YouTube.'

✓ 'I got to watch some videos on YouTube.'

'Tense consistency: follow past narrative—use "got to" rather than present "get to." This matches the previous sentence which is in the past.'

× 'So I learned how to type them words so I can search the videos that I want to see for myself.'

✓ 'So I learned how to type those words so I could search for the videos I wanted to watch.'

'Pronoun and tense agreement: use "those words" (not "them words"), and keep past tense with "could" and "wanted." Also use "search for the videos" and "watch" rather than "see for myself" to sound natural.'

× 'By consistently typing some words on the keyboard like you're making a sentence, and you make sure that the letters you have pressed is precise and accurate so you won't miss any spellings and you get the right words for your sentence or your paraphrase your paragraph.'

✓ 'By consistently typing sentences on the keyboard and making sure the letters you press are precise and accurate, you will not miss spellings and you will choose the right words for your sentence or paragraph.'

'Verb form, subject-verb agreement and sentence structure: "typing some words... like you're making a sentence" is awkward—use "typing sentences." Change "letters you have pressed is" to "letters you press are" for subject-verb agreement. Use future/predictive "you will not" for intended result, and correct "paraphrase your paragraph" to simply "paragraph." Also combine clauses with commas to avoid run-on sentences.'
