Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one brief reason and a specific example. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct minor word choice errors (e.g., “typewriting” → “typing”).

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it feels more personal and expressive. For example, when I write a letter by hand, I can add little notes and sketches that convey my emotions. Therefore, handwriting helps me communicate feelings more effectively than typing.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence and avoid irrelevant details. Omit phrases like “so there” and “Thank you.” Use linking words to explain reasons and give one specific example of portability or convenience.

Example: I don't type on a desktop or laptop every day because I'm currently unemployed. However, when I do use a computer I prefer a laptop because it is portable and convenient; for instance, I can work from a café or take it to job interviews.

Suggestion: Give a clear time reference and avoid hesitations and repetition. Start with a concise topic sentence stating when you learned, then add one supporting detail (where or why). Use correct word forms and smooth linking words.

Example: I learned to type when I was a child, around primary school age. Back then my school had computer lessons, so I practiced typing regularly and that helped me become comfortable with keyboards as laptops became more common.

Suggestion: Focus the answer on typing improvement and avoid drifting to unrelated topics. Start with a clear method, provide a specific practice technique, and explain the result briefly. Use linking words and one concrete example of a practice routine or tool.

Example: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice using online typing exercises. For example, I spend 15 minutes a day on a typing website to build speed and accuracy, and as a result I make fewer mistakes and type faster.

× Honestly, I don't really type at on a desktop and laptop keyboard every day because right now I am not employed.

✓ Honestly, I don't really type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day because right now I am not employed.

Use the correct preposition 'on' with 'type' and choose the correct conjunction 'or' when offering alternatives. 'Type at on' is redundant and incorrect; 'on a desktop or laptop keyboard' is concise and grammatically correct.

× But I prefer using laptop more than desktop because it's very handy and I can bring it anywhere.

✓ But I prefer using a laptop more than a desktop because it's very handy and I can bring it anywhere.

Countable singular nouns like 'laptop' and 'desktop' need an article 'a' when singular. Missing articles cause singular/plural or article errors. Add 'a' before each noun.

× Learn how to type on a keybird keyboard.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard.

The original lacks a subject and uses a misspelled word ('keybird') and present infinitive instead of past tense matching the question 'When did you learn...?'. Use 'I learned' and correct 'keyboard' for proper sentence structure and tense.

× For as long as I can remember.

✓ For as long as I can remember, I have been typing.

Alone this fragment is incomplete as an answer; to fit the past context, expand to a full present perfect construction 'I have been typing' to express an action that started in the past and continues. This fixes tense and makes a complete sentence.

× We have computers back in the days.

✓ We had computers back in the day.

Use past tense 'had' to match 'back in the day'. Also 'back in the days' is unidiomatic; the correct phrase is 'back in the day'. Article usage changed because 'computers' is plural and doesn't need an article here.

× Even now laptops are very common, especially in workplace and and.

✓ Even now, laptops are very common, especially in the workplace.

Remove the repeated 'and' and add the definite article 'the' before 'workplace' to be idiomatic. Also add a comma after 'Even now' for clarity.

× Well, you can improve your typing by practicing.

✓ Well, you can improve your typing by practicing.

This sentence is correct. 'By practicing' correctly uses the gerund after a preposition. No change needed.

× Just like what I'm doing right now, I'm practicing speaking English.

✓ Just like now, I'm practicing speaking English.

The original is wordy; 'Just like what I'm doing right now' is redundant. Simplify to 'Just like now' or 'As I'm doing now,' to make the sentence more natural while keeping the same meaning.

× English language is my second language because I live in the Philippines.

✓ English is my second language because I live in the Philippines.

Drop the unnecessary noun 'language' after 'English'—'English' alone is sufficient. Also article omission before 'English' is correct here; adding 'the' would be incorrect. The rest of the sentence is fine.

× So it's very important for me to learn these things in order for me to get better opportunities not just in my country but all over the world.

✓ So it's very important for me to learn these things in order to get better opportunities not just in my country but all over the world.

Use 'in order to' rather than 'in order for me to' to make the sentence more natural and concise. The meaning remains the same and the structure is grammatically correct.
