Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce fillers and repetition, give a clear topic sentence, add one specific reason with an example. Use linking words to connect ideas and keep answer within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and more convenient for my work. For example, when I prepare reports I can edit and share documents instantly with colleagues. In addition, typing helps me organise information more neatly, so I make fewer mistakes.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer, avoid hesitations and unclear phrases, correct grammar and be specific about frequency. Use a linking phrase to explain why.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because my company provides a laptop for all employees. As a result, I have become accustomed to its layout and use it for emails, reports and meetings daily.

Suggestion: Give a concise, correctly structured response with a clear time reference, then add one specific detail about the learning situation. Minimise filler words and correct tenses.

Example: I learned to type when I was in the seventh grade. At that time we had computer lessons where we practised typing Thai letters and vowels, which helped me build basic typing skills early on.

Suggestion: Provide a direct strategy-based answer: name specific actions you take to improve (practice methods, tools, goals) and use linking words to explain effects. Keep it concise and avoid vague claims.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly with online typing exercises and setting a weekly speed target. As a result, I reduce mistakes and increase my typing speed, which makes my work more efficient.

× As an employee nowadays, I tend to type more than uh, using handwriting.

✓ As an employee nowadays, I tend to type more than to use handwriting.

The phrase 'tend to' should be followed by the base form or infinitive 'to use' rather than a gerund 'using' when making a comparison after 'more than'. Use parallel structures: 'to type more than to use handwriting' or better: 'I tend to type more than I use handwriting.' Replace gerund with infinitive or use a full clause for clarity.

× So I I would say that I prefer typing because, uh, not only for its convenience, but it also, uh, features the immediate delivery aspect.

✓ So I would say that I prefer typing not only because of its convenience but also because it allows immediate delivery.

The original has awkward pronoun/reference and incorrect conjunction usage ('not only for... but it also'). Use parallel structures 'not only because of A but also because B' and replace 'features the immediate delivery aspect' with 'allows immediate delivery' for natural, grammatical phrasing.

× I type on a laptop keyboard, umm, as a worker, uh, the organizations, umm, send me just one laptop so I'm used to it and I'm typing it every word days.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard. As a worker, the organization gives me one laptop, so I'm used to it and I type on it every day.

Several issues: subject-verb agreement ('the organizations send' -> 'the organization gives' or 'sends' depending on singular/plural) and awkward phrases. 'I'm typing it every word days' is ungrammatical; correct phrase is 'I type on it every day.' Use simple present for habitual actions and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct object use ('type on it').

× Uh, since I was in the 7th grade, umm, I started to learn Thai while umm, learning about vowels, uh, the alphabet and also how to type them and write them at the same time.

✓ Since I was in the 7th grade, I began learning Thai, including the vowels and the alphabet, and I also learned how to type and write them at the same time.

When referring to a past starting point with 'since' plus a past time, use past forms consistently: 'started to learn' is acceptable but 'began learning' is better. Also 'how to type them and write them' is clearer as 'how to type and write them.' Maintain past tense for completed past learning activities.

× So it's that time when I'm starting umm, learning on typing on the keyboard.

✓ So that was the time when I started learning to type on the keyboard.

Mixing present progressive 'I'm starting' with a past time reference ('that time') is inconsistent. Use past tense 'started learning' and correct verb pattern 'learn to type' or 'learn typing' and preposition 'on the keyboard' -> 'on the keyboard' is okay but 'type on the keyboard' is more natural.

× Umm, I usually think that I'm just used to it because, umm, when you understand the wordings, the alphabet and the vowels, uh, you can easily type it without hesitation and thus it will improve your typing immediately.

✓ I usually think that I'm just used to it because when you understand the words, the alphabet, and the vowels, you can easily type them without hesitation, and this will immediately improve your typing.

Use 'the words' or simply 'words' rather than 'wordings' (which is incorrect in this context). 'Type it' should agree in number with 'words' -> 'type them.' Also replace 'thus it will improve your typing immediately' with 'this will immediately improve your typing' for natural article/determiner and pronoun reference and correct adverb placement.
