Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise, correct grammar, and provide a clear topic sentence followed by a specific reason and brief example. Avoid fillers like 'Career' and repetitive phrases. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas logically.

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because I find I make fewer mistakes on paper. For example, when I take notes by hand I remember details better and can organise points quickly, so my notes feel more useful.

Suggestion: Give a direct short answer first, then briefly explain frequency with specific activities and avoid hesitations. Use correct tense (present simple) and reduce repetition. Use a linking word like 'because' or 'only when' to clarify reasons.

Example: No, I don't use a computer every day. I only use a laptop occasionally, for example when I need to search online or fill in applications, so I haven't practised typing regularly.

Suggestion: Start with a clear time reference, then give specific activities that show how you learned. Use past simple consistently and avoid repetition. Use linking words like 'so' or 'therefore' to explain the result of those activities.

Example: I learned to type when I was a child after my father bought a home computer. Instead of playing games, I practised in MS Word and Paint, so I became familiar with the keyboard early on.

Suggestion: Give a concise method for improvement with specific actions and a short example. Avoid repetition of 'practice' and filler sounds. Use present simple to describe habitual actions and linking words like 'for example' or 'by' to show how you practise.

Example: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice. For example, I set aside 20 minutes daily to type short stories and letters in MS Word, which has helped increase both my speed and accuracy.

× Career Yes, I prefer handwriting over typing because I think I can make errors in typing but in handwriting I am perfect so that's why I always like handwriting.

✓ Yes, I prefer handwriting to typing because I think I make errors when I type, but my handwriting is perfect, so I always choose handwriting.

Pronoun and reference issues and awkward phrasing: 'I can make errors in typing' is better as 'I make errors when I type' to match subject and tense; 'in handwriting I am perfect' should be 'my handwriting is perfect' to use a possessive pronoun. Also 'prefer A over B' is acceptable but 'prefer A to B' is more common. Suggestion: use consistent subjects and possessives (I, my) and simpler clauses (when I type).

× No, actually I didn't use laptop, uh, or computer on daily basis.

✓ No, actually I don't use a laptop or a computer on a daily basis.

The original mixes past tense 'didn't use' with the adverb 'on daily basis' which refers to habitual present action; the present simple tense 'don't use' is correct for habits. Also add articles 'a' and 'a' and the phrase 'on a daily basis'. Suggestion: use present simple for routines and include necessary articles.

× When uh, on I only use laptop or computers when I need to search online, I need to apply somewhere or I need to type anything in Ms. Word uh, on other times I didn't use uh laptop.

✓ I only use a laptop or a computer when I need to search online, apply for something, or type in MS Word; at other times I don't use a laptop.

Preposition and article problems: 'apply somewhere' is vague—'apply for something' or 'apply somewhere' needs clarification; 'on other times' should be 'at other times'. Also present habitual action needs present simple 'don't use'. Add articles 'a laptop' and 'a computer'. Suggestion: use 'when' for conditions, 'at other times' for contrasts, and add articles where needed.

× So I am not uh good much good at typing.

✓ So I'm not very good at typing.

Redundant words and awkward word order: 'not uh good much good' repeats 'good' and misorders modifiers. Correct phrase is 'not very good at'. Suggestion: use standard adverb 'very' before 'good' and place 'at' before the gerund 'typing'.

× When I was a kid, my father bought me a computer for to playing games.

✓ When I was a kid, my father bought me a computer for playing games.

Incorrect infinitive structure: 'for to playing' is ungrammatical. Use 'for' + gerund ('for playing') or 'to' + base verb ('to play'). Suggestion: use either 'for playing games' or 'to play games'.

× But instead of playing games, I always use Ms. Word and painting.

✓ But instead of playing games, I always used MS Word and Paint.

Tense mismatch: the context is past (When I was a kid), so 'use' should be past 'used'. Also 'painting' likely refers to the Paint program—use 'Paint' or 'painting' as a gerund consistently. Capitalize program names as appropriate. Suggestion: keep past tense throughout the narrative about childhood and use the correct program name.

× I used to use a keyboard in Ms. Word and uh, in painting, I always used to write something, uh, type something.

✓ I used to use the keyboard in MS Word and in Paint; I always used to write or type something.

Article and preposition clarity: use 'the keyboard' (specific device), correct program name 'Paint', and simplify repeated 'used to'. Parallel structure 'write or type' is clearer. Suggestion: keep parallel verbs and correct program names and articles.

× Of course with the practice, I think with practice I improve my typing.

✓ Of course, with practice I think I have improved my typing.

Tense and aspect: discussing improvement up to now requires present perfect 'have improved' rather than simple present 'improve'. Also drop duplicated phrase 'with the practice' and use 'with practice'. Suggestion: use present perfect to describe a change that has occurred over time up to the present.

× Uh, when I was a kid, I used computer for several tasks like typing in Ms. Word, typing, uh, machine typing short stories, typing, uh, many essays and letters in Ms. Word.

✓ When I was a kid, I used the computer for several tasks like typing in MS Word, composing short stories, and typing many essays and letters in MS Word.

Missing articles ('the computer'), repetitive and awkward phrases ('typing, uh, machine typing'): simplify and use appropriate verbs ('composing' or 'writing' for short stories). Keep past tense consistent 'used'. Suggestion: remove fillers, use clear verbs for each activity, and include necessary articles.

× So yeah, with practice, I improve my.

✓ So yeah, with practice, I improved.

Incomplete sentence and wrong tense/aspect: 'I improve my.' is ungrammatical and missing object. In context describing past improvement, use past simple 'I improved' or present perfect 'I have improved'. Suggestion: complete the sentence by using 'I improved' or 'I have improved' without an unnecessary object.
