Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and direct: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., "write essays, write my work"). Also choose precise vocabulary ("by hand" instead of "by hands"). Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer typing for most tasks because it’s faster and makes it easier to edit essays. However, I handwrite during school exams because it feels quicker and more reliable when time is limited.

Suggestion: Open with a clear statement, remove fillers ("so", "uh", repeated words), and use linking words to explain exceptions. Be specific about frequency and context. Correct small grammar issues ("I use a laptop keyboard every day"). Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because I own a laptop and study from home. Occasionally I use desktop computers at the school library or in computer class when I need a larger screen.

Suggestion: Begin with a direct answer (e.g., "I learned to type as a child") and avoid question-word order in statements. Use clear sequence words ("when", "because") and correct collocations ("learn to type on a keyboard"). Provide one specific detail or approximate age if possible.

Example: I learned to type on a keyboard when I was a child, around eight or nine, after my family got our first laptop. I started by searching online and gradually practiced by typing simple searches and homework.

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid meta-comments ("Very good question"). Use correct grammar ("there are", "I used one", "I became used to typing without looking"). Give one clear method and a specific result. Use linking words ("for example", "eventually").

Example: I improved my typing by using online typing practice websites and by doing a lot of homework that required long typing sessions. As a result, I eventually became quite fast and can type almost without looking at the keyboard.

× I prefer typing when I am on a computer, so it's easier for me to write essays, write my work rather than doing it by hands.

✓ I prefer typing when I am on a computer, so it's easier for me to write essays and do my work rather than doing it by hand.

The phrase 'write my work' is awkward and 'doing it by hands' is incorrect: 'by hand' is the standard expression (singular) and 'do my work' uses the base verb rather than repeating 'write'. Use parallel verbs 'write essays and do my work' to match grammar and meaning.

× But I prefer handwriting on my exams at school, so it's easier and faster to write.

✓ But I prefer handwriting for my exams at school, because it is easier and faster to write by hand.

Use 'for' to indicate purpose (handwriting for exams). 'On my exams' is less natural. Also add 'by hand' to clarify the method and use 'because' for clearer cause-effect. Maintain present tense 'is'.

× I have my own laptop so I so every day I use laptop keyboard to type rather than a desktop, but I use desktop sometimes when I'm at the live school library or uh, computers class.

✓ I have my own laptop, so every day I use the laptop keyboard to type rather than a desktop, but I use a desktop sometimes when I'm at the school library or in computer class.

Remove duplicated 'so I so'. Include articles 'the laptop' and 'a desktop'. Use 'school library' without 'live' unless meant otherwise. Use 'in computer class' and 'computer class' instead of 'computers class' for correct noun form.

× I don't really really care about either of them.

✓ I don't really care about either of them.

This sentence has repetition 'really really' which is informal duplication; remove the extra 'really' for standard spoken English. Pronoun use 'either of them' is fine.

× I don't remember exactly when did I learn to type in keyboard, but in my early childhood when we when our family started to own a laptop.

✓ I don't remember exactly when I learned to type on a keyboard; it was in my early childhood when our family first got a laptop.

Do not use auxiliary question word order in an embedded clause: 'when I learned' (not 'when did I learn'). Use past tense 'learned'. Use 'on a keyboard' (preposition) and 'first got a laptop' is natural instead of 'started to own'.

× I guess it's the time when I first research, searched something on the Internet and learned to type.

✓ I guess it was when I first searched for something on the Internet and learned to type.

Use past tense 'searched' (not 'research, searched'). Use 'searched for something' to be idiomatic. Maintain past tense 'it was' to match 'first searched' and 'learned'.

× There's tons of websites on the Internet that you can access to and learn typing online.

✓ There are tons of websites on the Internet that you can access to learn typing online.

Use 'There are' for the plural 'tons of websites' (subject-verb agreement). Remove the unnecessary second 'and' and keep the infinitive 'to learn'. This fixes modality/verb pattern.

× I used one of them when I were learning to type, but eventually after doing lots of homeworks and school work I did used to typing fast and almost blind.

✓ I used one of them when I was learning to type, but eventually after doing lots of homework and schoolwork I became used to typing fast and almost without looking.

Use 'was' for past tense with singular subject 'I' (not 'were'). 'Homework' is uncountable; use 'schoolwork' as one word. 'Used to' + verb requires 'become used to' + noun/gerund: 'became used to typing'. 'Almost blind' is idiomatic but better as 'almost without looking' for clarity.
