Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms and pronouns, and give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid redundancy and unclear phrases like "add it."

Example: I prefer typing for university assignments because it’s faster and easier to edit. However, I enjoy handwriting in my diary because it feels more personal and helps me reflect. For these reasons, I choose typing for work and handwriting for private notes.

Suggestion: Use a clearer topic sentence and avoid wordy phrases. Give one concrete detail about which device you use and link reason to habit. Replace informal words like "I guess" with firmer phrasing.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard almost every day because I use my laptop for chatting, studying and browsing. As I spend several hours online daily, the keyboard is definitely an essential tool for me.

Suggestion: Be direct and eliminate hesitations. Give a clear time reference and a concise description of how you learned. Avoid irrelevant names and filler words.

Example: I learned to type at about six years old when my aunt taught me the basic keys while I was playing a computer game. That early practice helped me become comfortable with the keyboard.

Suggestion: Correct grammar and phrasing, use a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Remove confusing phrases and repetition.

Example: I improve my typing mainly by playing online games because they require fast communication with teammates. As a result, my typing speed and accuracy have improved, especially when I need to type quickly under pressure.

× 'Well, it depends on what I doing.'

✓ 'Well, it depends on what I am doing.'

'Doing' needs to be used with the correct present continuous auxiliary. The original sentence omits the auxiliary verb 'am', which is required for the present continuous tense. Suggestion: include the correct form of be (am/is/are) before the -ing verb.'

× 'I prefer typing when I work on university assignments because it is easier and faster to add it, while I like handwriting in my diary.'

✓ 'I prefer typing when I work on university assignments because it is easier and faster to edit, while I like handwriting in my diary.'

'Add it' is vague and does not agree with the intended meaning; likely the student meant 'edit' or 'add text'. This is not a subject-verb agreement error in form but the sentence contains a word choice/structure problem that fits better as a sentence structure issue. However, to follow the allowed list, this correction clarifies the verb choice and keeps subject-verb agreement intact. Suggestion: use precise verbs like 'edit' or 'add text' to make the meaning clear.'

× 'I guess I type on a computer keyboard almost every day since I adore spending a lot of time chatting with ChatGPT, so I can say a keyboard is a central device for me.'

✓ 'I guess I type on a computer keyboard almost every day since I enjoy spending a lot of time chatting with ChatGPT, so I would say a keyboard is a central device for me.'

'Adore spending a lot of time' is grammatically possible but 'enjoy' is more natural in this context; 'can say' is awkward for a habitual observation, so 'would say' or 'can say' are both possible — 'would say' is more idiomatic. The present tense 'type' is correct, but choosing more natural verbs improves clarity.'

× 'Uh, Abel, I remember the time when I learned how to play a computer game when I was about, umm, 6 years old from my aunt.'

✓ 'Uh, well, I remember learning how to play a computer game from my aunt when I was about six years old.'

The original sentence has awkward word order and unnecessary repetitions. Use simple past 'learned' or the gerund 'learning' with 'remember' to describe a past memory. Moving 'from my aunt' next to 'learn' improves clarity. Suggestion: place time expressions ('when I was about six years old') after the main clause for natural flow.'

× 'Umm, I think I learned first at that time.'

✓ 'Umm, I think I first learned then.'

The phrase 'learned first at that time' is redundant and awkward. Use 'first' before the verb and 'then' to refer to that time ('then' or 'at that time'). Maintain past tense 'learned' because the action occurred in the past.'

× 'I think we're an effective way is playing online games because you need to type quickly to communicate with your teammate.'

✓ 'I think an effective way to improve is playing online games because you need to type quickly to communicate with your teammates.'

The original sentence has incorrect structure ('we're an effective way') and number agreement ('teammate' should be plural if referring to team members in general). Correct the structure to 'an effective way to improve is...' and make 'teammates' plural for generality. Suggestion: ensure subject and verb placement is logical and pluralize when referring to group members.'

× 'I think this practice helps improve my I mean both my speed and accuracy under pressure.'

✓ 'I think this practice helps improve both my speed and accuracy under pressure.'

The original contains a self-correction mid-sentence ('my I mean both my') which is redundant and ungrammatical. Remove hesitation and duplicate words to produce a clear noun phrase 'both my speed and accuracy'. Suggestion: when speaking, pause briefly to reformulate rather than inserting words that break the grammatical structure.'
