Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and finish your thought. Start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with linking words, and avoid trailing words like “because.” Use varied vocabulary (e.g., ‘retain’ instead of ‘remember’).

Example: I prefer handwriting. Firstly, writing with a pencil on paper helps me focus because the physical act slows me down and reduces distractions. Additionally, I often retain information better when I write by hand, especially when I take notes for study.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence and correct minor errors. Mention one or two specific reasons and use linking words to connect ideas. Correct phrasing such as ‘bring my laptop’ and avoid repeating simple facts.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day. Since I live in a small studio, I don’t have space for a desktop, and a laptop is convenient to carry when I go to classes or cafés.

Suggestion: Keep the answer direct and natural. Provide a clear time reference and, if relevant, a brief context or method of learning. Use one sentence for the time and one for additional detail with a linking word.

Example: I learned to type in elementary school, around seven or eight years old. At that time, we had a basic computer class where the teacher taught us proper finger placement and simple practice exercises.

Suggestion: Organize your response: start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific details and examples. Avoid filler words like ‘umm’ and finish sentences. Mention frequency or measurable improvement to make it more concrete.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly on a typing website. It offers timed drills and interactive games that target accuracy and speed; for example, I use short-word drills for 15 minutes daily to reduce errors and increase my words-per-minute rate.

× I prefer handwriting because I like the feeling of writing with the pencil on the paper and I think it helps me remember or focus on the content that I'm writing better than just typing because.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I like the feeling of writing with a pencil on paper, and I think it helps me remember and focus on what I am writing better than typing.

The original sentence has redundant conjunctions and an unnecessary trailing 'because', causing sentence structure issues (ID 26). Also articles and prepositions are slightly off ('the pencil' and 'the paper' should be 'a pencil' and 'paper'). Correction removes the extra 'because', joins clauses properly with 'and', replaces 'or' with 'and' to express both benefits, and uses 'what I am writing' for clarity. Suggestion: avoid ending sentences with unfinished conjunctions and keep parallel structure when comparing actions.

× I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't have a desktop in my studio and it's easy to bring my lap.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't have a desktop in my studio and it's easy to carry on my lap.

The phrase 'bring my lap' is ungrammatical; it misuses the verb 'bring' with the noun 'lap' (ID 11). Use 'carry on my lap' or 'put on my lap' to indicate where the laptop rests. Also 'carry' fits the intended meaning of portability. Suggestion: use appropriate verbs for motion or placement with body parts ('carry on my lap', 'place on my lap').

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in elementary school, so when I was 7-8 years old in Korean age.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in elementary school, so I was about seven or eight years old in Korean age.

The original mixes comma use and awkward phrasing; '7-8' should be written in words and the clause needs a clearer subject (ID 5). Use 'I was about seven or eight years old' for natural English. Suggestion: write numbers under ten as words and avoid hanging time phrases without a full clause.

× I try to improve my typing by practicing on the typing website.

✓ I try to improve my typing by practicing on typing websites.

'The typing website' sounds like a single, specific site; plural 'websites' is more natural when referring to such resources in general (this relates to noun number but also natural collocation with gerund phrase) (ID 8). Using plural matches 'lots of different games and features there' that follows. Suggestion: use plural nouns when speaking generally about multiple online resources.

× They have lots of different games and features there. For example they have short umm words game that I can.

✓ They have lots of different games and features there. For example, they have short word games that I can play.

The second sentence is incomplete and contains filler 'umm' and incorrect noun phrase 'short umm words game' (ID 26). Change to 'short word games that I can play' to complete the meaning and correct noun form. Suggestion: remove fillers in formal answers and ensure subordinate clauses include verbs ('that I can play').
