Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Fix tense and article errors and avoid redundant phrases. Aim for 3–4 sentences, e.g. state preference, give a reason with an example, and finish with a short concluding remark.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. For example, during university lectures I can type quickly and keep up with the professor’s pace, which helps me record key points. After class I reorganize the notes on my laptop, so they are easier to review later.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence and two clear supporting details. Use correct verb forms and prepositions, remove fillers, and use linking words for coherence. Keep it under five sentences and provide specific situations you use the laptop for.

Example: I usually type on a laptop keyboard every day because laptops are portable. I take my laptop to classes and libraries so I can type notes quickly and work on assignments anywhere. This flexibility makes studying much more convenient for me.

Suggestion: Start with a clear time frame, use correct past tense, and provide one or two specific details about the learning method. Avoid awkward phrases and filler words. Use linking words like 'then' or 'also' to sequence events.

Example: I first learned to type when I was in primary school. Our computer teacher taught us proper finger placement and we practiced using fun typing games. This regular practice helped me build speed and accuracy.

Suggestion: Answer directly with present methods and past progress. Use consistent tense, correct grammar, and avoid repeating phrases. Mention concrete practices (e.g., timed exercises, accuracy drills) and a brief result. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I improved my typing by practicing with online typing games and timed exercises. At first I was slow and made many mistakes, but after regular daily practice I can now type much faster and more accurately.

× I much prefer typing, especially when listening to lectures at universities because it can lead me to catch up my professors speaking so and also I can write down the important notes so quickly and later on after class I can reorganize the digital notes. So can it was so convenient that the handwriting.

✓ I much prefer typing, especially when listening to lectures at university, because it helps me catch my professor's speech, and I can write down important notes very quickly; later, after class, I can reorganize the digital notes. Typing is much more convenient than handwriting.

Errors: 'at universities' is incorrect in this context; use 'at university' or 'in university' for general study context (Article/usage). 'it can lead me to catch up my professors speaking so' is ungrammatical and wrong verb choice; use 'helps me catch my professor's speech' (possessive and noun). 'the important notes' -> 'important notes' (article overuse). 'so quickly' and 'so convenient that the handwriting' are awkward; use 'very quickly' and 'more convenient than handwriting' and fix comparative structure. Suggestions: use possessive for professor, avoid unnecessary articles, use clear comparatives ('more ... than'), and keep clauses concise.

× I usually type out the laptop keyboard everyday because laptop is easy to carry.

✓ I usually type on the laptop keyboard every day because the laptop is easy to carry.

Errors: 'type out the laptop keyboard' is incorrect preposition; use 'type on' (preposition). 'everyday' used as adjective; correct adverb form is 'every day'. Missing article before 'laptop' when referring to a specific device: use 'the laptop'. Suggestions: use correct prepositions for devices ('type on'), use 'every day' for frequency adverb, and include definite article when referring to a specific object.

× I usually carried my laptop to the class so that I can do the typewriting wherever I wanted and to write down the quick notes, uh, then lay on to manage it.

✓ I usually carried my laptop to class so that I could type wherever I wanted and write down quick notes, then later manage them.

Errors: tense inconsistency: 'carried' (past) followed by 'can' (present) should be 'could' (past modal) (modal verb usage/past tense). 'to the class' -> 'to class' (article unnecessary). 'do the typewriting' is unnatural; use 'type'. 'quick notes' not 'the quick notes'. 'lay on to manage it' is ungrammatical; unclear pronoun 'it' should be 'them'. Suggestions: keep tense consistent within the clause, use natural verbs ('type'), omit unnecessary articles, and match pronouns to plural noun 'notes'.

× Well, the first time I learned to type out the keyboard was at primary schools.

✓ Well, the first time I learned to type on the keyboard was at primary school.

Errors: 'type out the keyboard' wrong preposition; use 'type on'. 'at primary schools' should be singular collective 'at primary school' when speaking of schooling period (or 'at primary schools' if referring to multiple schools, but context prefers singular). Suggestions: use correct preposition 'on' for keyboards and choose the appropriate singular/plural for institutions when referring to the stage of education.

× My computer teachers teach us how to type and how to propose my both hands to type at different times of the words.

✓ My computer teacher taught us how to type and how to position both hands to type at different parts of the keyboard.

Errors: 'teachers teach' tense mismatch with past context; use past tense 'taught' (past tense issue). 'propose my both hands' is incorrect word choice and pronoun order; use 'position both hands' and remove 'my' because 'both hands' already refers to the speaker. 'at different times of the words' is wrong; likely intended 'at different parts of the keyboard' or 'for different keys'. Suggestions: use correct verb ('position'), correct tense, and clearer phrase for describing hand placement on keyboard.

× And he also gave us some typing less typing games so that we can, uh, do the little practice through the playing the games.

✓ He also gave us some typing games so that we could practice a little by playing the games.

Errors: 'typing less typing games' is redundant and unclear; remove 'less'. 'we can' should match past context 'we could' (past tense/modal). 'do the little practice' should be 'practice a little' (noun/verb form). 'through the playing the games' ungrammatical; use 'by playing the games'. Suggestions: remove redundant words, use correct verb forms ('practice' as verb), and choose appropriate prepositions ('by').

× Well, when I was at primary schools, I turned to play the typing games to improve my skills and speed.

✓ Well, when I was at primary school, I played typing games to improve my skills and speed.

Errors: 'turned to play' is unnatural; use 'played' or 'used to play'. 'at primary schools' should be 'at primary school' (see above). Suggestions: use simple past 'played' for past habits or 'used to play' for repeated past actions, and correct institution noun number.

× At first I type really slow and it was making many mistakes at first, but slowly after days of practicing I right now can type really fast and more accurate with less the mistakes.

✓ At first I typed very slowly and made many mistakes, but after days of practice, I can now type really fast and more accurately with fewer mistakes.

Errors: tense inconsistency: 'At first I type' should be past 'typed' (past tense). 'really slow' should be adverb 'very slowly' (adverb use). 'it was making many mistakes' unclear subject; better 'I made many mistakes' (subject pronoun). 'after days of practicing I right now can' awkward word order; use 'after days of practice, I can now'. 'more accurate' should be 'more accurately' (adverb) and 'less the mistakes' incorrect quantifier and article; use 'fewer mistakes' for countable noun. Suggestions: maintain consistent past tense for past events, use adverbs to modify verbs, correct word order for time expressions, and use 'fewer' for countable plurals.
