Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid vague phrases and repetition. Also correct grammar (e.g., "when I read articles," "I summarize the conclusions and abstracts").

Example: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember information better. For example, when I read academic articles I jot down the main conclusions and abstracts, then write a short summary. As a result, the ideas stay with me longer and I enjoy the process.

Suggestion: Respond directly and professionally. Use one clear sentence to answer, then give a brief reason. Remove filler words (uh) and unclear opinions. Fix grammar (e.g., "when my boss asks me" "assignments").

Example: I type on a laptop every day because my job requires it. For instance, my boss often gives me written assignments that I must complete regularly, which can be repetitive but has improved my typing speed.

Suggestion: Give a clear time reference and sequence. Use correct tense and avoid fragments. Provide one or two specific details about the learning process and link sentences coherently.

Example: I learned to type during my undergraduate studies in a basic computer class that taught proper typing techniques. At first I struggled to keep up with the lessons, but I practised regularly and gradually improved.

Suggestion: Be specific about the methods you use to improve typing and explain how they help. Use clearer phrasing (e.g., "I summarise highlighted points into brief notes") and correct grammar. Limit to two to three sentences.

Example: I improve my typing by regularly summarising articles and journals: I highlight key points and type short summaries. This practice increases both my typing speed and my ability to retain information.

× I prefer handwriting because it makes me remember what I write, especially reading the articles for.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember what I write, especially when I read articles.

The preposition 'for' at the end is incorrect and unnecessary. Use 'when I read articles' to indicate the time/context. Also 'makes me remember' is better expressed as 'helps me remember' for natural English.

× I'll summarize the articles by seeing the highlights of conclusion and abstract.

✓ I'll summarize the articles by looking at the highlights of the conclusion and abstract.

Use the verb 'look at' rather than 'see' for examining highlights. Also include articles 'the' before 'conclusion and abstract' to refer to specific parts; use 'the conclusion and the abstract' or 'the conclusion and abstract' for brevity.

× Then I write it briefly.

✓ Then I write a brief summary.

The original sentence is grammatically possible but awkward and vague. 'Write it briefly' is less natural than 'write a brief summary' which clarifies the object and improves sentence structure.

× I feel happy.

✓ I feel happy about that.

Add 'about that' to clarify the cause of the feeling. Standalone 'I feel happy' is not incorrect but here needs connection to previous idea.

× I type on the laptop every day, especially when my boss ask me to accomplish his assignment, something I feel boring uh, because uh, I do it regularly and I think he must choose another one, which helped me a lot.

✓ I type on the laptop every day, especially when my boss asks me to complete his assignments, which I find boring because I do them regularly; I wish he would choose someone else, which would help me a lot.

Multiple issues: subject-verb agreement 'boss asks' (third person singular), article/number 'assignment' should be plural 'assignments' or 'an assignment', verb choice 'accomplish' -> 'complete' is more natural, 'something I feel boring' is incorrect; use 'which I find boring'. 'I think he must choose another one' is unnatural for desire; use 'I wish he would choose someone else'. Tense and conditional adjusted for meaning.

× especially when my boss ask me to accomplish his assignment

✓ especially when my boss asks me to complete his assignments

The verb must agree with the singular subject 'boss'; use 'asks'. Also 'complete his assignments' is more natural than 'accomplish his assignment'.

× When I was on for grad.

✓ When I was in graduate school.

The phrase is ungrammatical and likely intends 'in graduate school'. 'On for grad' is incorrect; use correct noun phrase 'graduate school' and preposition 'in'.

× It is a basic class of it which taught us how to type properly.

✓ It was a basic class that taught us how to type properly.

Use past tense 'was' to match 'I learned' earlier. 'A basic class of it' is awkward; 'a basic class that taught us' is correct. Avoid redundant 'it'.

× At first time I was uh, I can't.

✓ At first I couldn't.

Mixes present and past; since describing past experience use past form 'couldn't'. 'At first time' should be 'At first'.

× I couldn't catch up from the teacher.

✓ I couldn't keep up with the teacher.

Use 'keep up with' for following someone's pace. 'Catch up from' is incorrect preposition choice; also past tense 'couldn't' is correct.

× However, I consistently do.

✓ However, I practice consistently now.

Original is vague and mixes tenses. To show ongoing action, use present simple 'I practice consistently' or present continuous 'I have been practicing consistently'. 'Practice' clarifies the action.

× I improve my typing by reading the articles and journals of especially.

✓ I improve my typing by reading articles and journals, especially those in my field.

'Of especially' is incorrect word order. Use 'especially' before the phrase it modifies and specify 'those' if needed. Remove unnecessary 'the'.

× I see the highlight and I summarize it into a right a right brief.

✓ I look at the highlights and summarize them into a short brief.

Use 'look at the highlights' rather than 'see the highlight'. Match plural 'highlights' with 'them'. 'A right a right brief' is ungrammatical; use 'a short brief' or 'a concise summary'.

× I feel comfortable doing the things because it makes me re it retain an information.

✓ I feel comfortable doing this because it helps me retain information.

The original has several errors: 'the things' vague -> 'this', 'it makes me re it retain an information' is ungrammatical. Use 'helps me retain information' (no article before 'information').
