Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct small grammar/word choice errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific, linked reasons with examples. Avoid filler and redundant phrases. Also fix collocations (e.g., “create a mess”, “press keys” or “type on the keyboard”).

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and easier to edit. For example, I can quickly delete or rearrange sentences with the backspace key, which saves time. Also, typing lets me format documents neatly and use tools like spell-check, so my work looks more professional.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details without repeating. Remove hesitations (uh) and avoid repeating the same point. Use linking words (because, so) correctly and vary vocabulary (portable, company provides).

Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because I work as an associate designer in a corporate office. The company provides laptops since they are portable, so I can easily take my work between meetings and home.

Suggestion: Be clearer and more accurate in description. Use correct vocabulary (“computer lab” not “computer glasses”, “software” singular/plural) and finish the sentence. Provide a specific time and a concise example of what you did to practise typing. Keep the response within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I learned to type at school when I was about 12 years old in the computer lab. Teachers showed us basic software like Microsoft Word, and we practised by typing essays and filling in exercises, which helped me improve my accuracy and speed.

Suggestion: Provide a structured answer: topic sentence, methods with linking words, and a concrete result. Remove hesitations and finish your ideas. Give specific resources or exercises and quantify improvement if possible (e.g., words per minute).

Example: I improved my typing mainly through regular practice on online typing websites. For example, I used typingclub.com for daily 20-minute drills and timed tests, which raised my speed from about 30 WPM to 55 WPM in three months. Practising regularly and focusing on accuracy helped me a lot.

× I prefer typing because it has many advantages.

✓ I prefer typing because it has many advantages.

No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct. Keep article 'many' with plural 'advantages'. (Note: included because context sentences require individual responses.)

× The number one advantage is that in typing you can just backspace and you don't create that much of mess as it is in writing.

✓ The number one advantage is that when typing you can just press backspace and you don't make as much of a mess as when writing.

Problems: incorrect preposition 'in typing' (use 'when typing' or 'while typing'), wrong verb choice 'backspace' should be 'press backspace', incorrect phrase 'create that much of mess' needs article 'a' and more natural verb 'make', and awkward comparison 'as it is in writing' should be 'as when writing'. Suggestion: use 'when' for time clauses with -ing, use collocations like 'press backspace' and 'make a mess'.

× The other benefit is I believe that typing is faster than writing because you just have to press the keywords on the keyboard and it.

✓ The other benefit, I believe, is that typing is faster than writing because you just have to press the keys on the keyboard.

Problems: misplaced 'I believe' punctuation and word order; 'keywords' is incorrect here—use 'keys' for keyboard buttons; sentence ended with stray 'and it.' which is incomplete and removed. Suggestion: place 'I believe' as parenthetical, use correct noun 'keys', and avoid trailing fragments.

× I type on a laptop keyboard every day.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day.

No correction needed; sentence is correct and fits context.

× I work, uh, as an associate designer and my job is in a corporate business.

✓ I work as an associate designer and my job is in a corporate company.

Problems: redundant article 'the' removed for natural speech; 'corporate business' is awkward—use 'a corporate company' or simply 'a corporation' or 'in the corporate sector'. Suggestion: choose natural collocations like 'work as an associate designer' and 'in a corporation' or 'in the corporate sector'.

× So in corporate business, you get the laptops because it is easy to carry.

✓ So in the corporate world, companies provide laptops because they are easy to carry.

Problems: vague 'you get the laptops' and mismatched pronoun 'it is easy to carry' (laptops are plural so use 'they are'), and 'corporate business' awkward—use 'corporate world' or 'companies'. Suggestion: make subject explicit and ensure pronoun agreement with plural noun.

× Uh, if you talk about computers, they're not, uh, easily carryable.

✓ If you talk about desktop computers, they are not easy to carry.

Problems: 'they're not easily carryable' uses awkward adjective 'carryable'—use 'easy to carry'; specify 'desktop computers' for clarity. Suggestion: prefer natural adjective phrases and explicit nouns.

× So that's why I type more on laptop.

✓ So that's why I type more on a laptop.

Problems: missing article 'a' before 'laptop'. Suggestion: include articles with singular countable nouns: 'on a laptop'.

× When I was in my school, I learned how to type on the keyboard.

✓ When I was at school, I learned how to type on the keyboard.

Problems: preposition 'in my school' is unnatural in English; use 'at school'. Suggestion: use 'at school' to indicate attendance.

× In school they have this computer glasses where they teach students how to use a computer and different softwares of the computer.

✓ At school they had computer classes where they taught students how to use a computer and different software programs.

Problems: 'computer glasses' is incorrect—should be 'computer classes'; tense consistency: speaker referring to past so use past 'had'/'taught'; 'softwares' is uncountable 'software' or 'software programs'. Suggestion: use correct collocations and uncountable nouns properly.

× There I learned typing because we used to get some essays which we have to write on Microsoft Word and we also have to enter some.

✓ There I learned typing because we used to get essays that we had to write on Microsoft Word, and we also had to enter some data.

Problems: tense consistency (past: 'used to' with 'had to'), vague ending 'enter some'—add object 'data'; relative clause: use 'that' or 'which' appropriately. Suggestion: complete the sentence and keep past tense consistent.

× I believe there is only one way to improve your typing and that is practice more.

✓ I believe there is only one way to improve your typing, and that is to practice more.

Problems: missing infinitive marker 'to' before 'practice more'. Suggestion: use 'to' with 'is' + infinitive structure: 'that is to practice more'.

× I was uh, slow in typing first, but then I had to give my IELTS exam so I practice typing a lot.

✓ I was slow at typing at first, but then I had to take my IELTS exam, so I practiced typing a lot.

Problems: 'slow in typing' should be 'slow at typing'; 'first' -> 'at first'; 'give my IELTS exam' is non-native—use 'take my IELTS exam'; tense inconsistency: past 'practiced'. Suggestion: use correct prepositions and past tense forms for completed actions.

× This increased my word count per minute in typing and it had helped me a lot.

✓ This increased my words per minute in typing and it helped me a lot.

Problems: phrase 'word count per minute' is better 'words per minute'; tense 'had helped' unnecessary—simple past 'helped' matches sequence. Suggestion: use simple past for past events and standard metric 'words per minute'.

× So I went to some different websites where they.

✓ So I went to some different websites where they offered typing lessons.

Problems: sentence fragment ending with 'where they.' is incomplete. Suggestion: complete the clause by stating what 'they' did, e.g., 'offered typing lessons' or 'provided practice exercises'.
