Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more natural and expand with a brief reason and one supporting detail. Use a clear topic sentence and a linking word to add detail. Avoid grammar mistakes like 'my handwritten' — say 'my handwriting'.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting is messy and slow. For example, when I take notes in class, typed notes are neater and easier to organize, so I can review them faster.

Suggestion: Make your answer more concise and correct tenses and pronouns. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason using a linking word. Avoid filler sounds like 'Umm'.

Example: I type every day on an iPad with a detachable keyboard. I prefer it because it is portable and has a long battery life, so I can work anywhere.

Suggestion: Use the correct tense and a smoother phrase for the time reference. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add a specific detail with a linking word. Use 'in fifth grade' not 'on grade 5'.

Example: I learned to type in fifth grade at school. At that time we had a computer class where the teacher showed us proper finger placement and practice exercises, which helped me improve quickly.

Suggestion: Organize your answer into a clear topic sentence and one or two concise supporting details. Correct grammar and avoid repetition. Explain a specific action you took to improve and the result, using linking words like 'so' or 'therefore'.

Example: I improved my typing by using a laptop my mother bought me, so I practiced regularly while doing school projects and PowerPoint presentations. As a result, my speed and accuracy increased significantly over a few months.

× I prefer typing because my handwritten is not that good.

✓ I prefer typing because my handwriting is not very good.

The student used the adjective 'handwritten' incorrectly; the correct noun for one's writing is 'handwriting'. Also 'not that good' is informal; 'not very good' is more appropriate. Use 'handwriting' to refer to the style of written text and adjust the adverb for clarity.

× Umm, I have an iPad which there's also a keyboard.

✓ Umm, I have an iPad which also has a keyboard.

The original mixes a relative clause with an existential construction ('there's') incorrectly. Replace 'there's also a keyboard' with 'also has a keyboard' to correctly link the keyboard to the iPad with the relative pronoun 'which'.

× That's what I am using.

✓ That's what I use.

The present continuous 'I am using' suggests a temporary action; for habitual use 'I use' (simple present) is more appropriate in this context. Use simple present for regular habits or preferences.

× I don't use desktop or laptop because I preferred an iPad with keyboard only.

✓ I don't use a desktop or laptop because I prefer an iPad with a keyboard only.

The sentence mixes present ('don't use') with past ('preferred'). Maintain present tense for current preference: use 'prefer'. Also add articles 'a' before 'desktop' and 'laptop' and 'a' before 'keyboard' for correctness.

× I've learned how to type on a keyboard.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard.

Both 'I've learned' (present perfect) and 'I learned' (simple past) can be correct, but the follow-up question asks 'When did you learn', so simple past 'I learned' fits better. Keep the article 'a' before 'keyboard'.

× I remember when I was on grade 5 because we have a subject related to computer where they teach us how to type in a keyboard.

✓ I remember when I was in grade 5 because we had a computer-related subject where they taught us how to type on a keyboard.

Use 'in grade 5' not 'on grade 5'. Match tense: 'remember' refers to past event, so use past tense 'we had' and 'they taught us'. 'Computer-related' is the correct compound adjective order. Use the preposition 'on' changes to 'on a keyboard' -> correct is 'on a keyboard'.

× I improved when I told my mother that that we need a laptop for us to use in our basic needs especially in school when making our projects, when making our PowerPoints.

✓ My typing improved when I told my mother that we needed a laptop for our basic needs, especially for school when making projects and PowerPoint presentations.

Maintain consistent past tense: 'improved' and 'needed'. Remove the duplicated 'that'. Use possessive 'our' instead of 'for us'. Combine 'projects' and 'PowerPoint presentations' for natural phrasing and use 'PowerPoint presentations' rather than 'PowerPoints'.

× Then I have my laptop when my mother bought me, then it makes me trained and.

✓ Then my mother bought me a laptop, and it helped me practice and improve my typing.

Original sentence has awkward structure and incorrect tense order. Use past tense 'bought me a laptop' and show result with 'it helped me practice and improve my typing'. Remove the trailing 'and.' and provide a clear result clause. 'Helped me practice' is clearer than 'makes me trained'.
