Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clearer and more concise. Start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (for example, because, while, but). Avoid filler phrases and unfinished thoughts. Keep answers to no more than five sentences and use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "note-taking," "memorize").

Example: I usually prefer typing when I'm in class because it's faster and lets me follow the teacher while listening. However, when I study alone, I prefer handwriting because writing by hand helps me remember and understand information better.

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer first (yes/no and which device), then add one specific detail to support it. Use precise terms (desktop, laptop, tablet, external keyboard) and a linking word to connect ideas. Keep it to two or three sentences.

Example: I usually type on my iPad with a detachable keyboard rather than a desktop or laptop. I find it lightweight and the keyboard layout is almost the same as a laptop, so it's comfortable for daily use.

Suggestion: Give a clear time reference (e.g., "in elementary school") then explain briefly how you learned and why you practiced typing. Avoid irrelevant or confusing details and use linking words (for example, because, so) to clarify the cause-effect relationship.

Example: I learned to type in elementary school when I first used the internet to message family. Later, I practised more while playing online games like League of Legends because quick typing was important to coordinate with teammates.

Suggestion: Provide a direct methodical answer: state the main practice you use, give one or two concrete methods (e.g., daily practice, typing apps, touch-typing drills), and use clear linking words (for example, by, so, because). Avoid metaphors that are unclear and keep sentences concise.

Example: I improve my typing by practising almost every day using online typing exercises and timed tests. Because regular practice strengthens muscle memory, my speed and accuracy improve steadily over time.

× Actually have a friendship myself.

✓ I actually have a pen pal myself.

The original sentence lacks a subject and uses an odd noun for the context. The examiner asked about typing or handwriting; 'friendship' is incorrect. Adding the subject 'I' fixes the missing subject (pronoun) and replacing 'friendship' with a context-appropriate noun like 'pen pal' or simply saying 'I have a preference' makes the meaning clear. Suggestion: Always include the subject and choose words that fit the question's context.

× It depends.

✓ It depends on the situation.

While 'It depends' is grammatical, it is terse and incomplete in this context. Expanding to 'It depends on the situation' clarifies the object of dependence. This fixes a sentence structure weakness by adding the necessary prepositional phrase.

× Sometimes if I'm not taking this while in my class, I'd rather do.

✓ Sometimes, if I'm not taking notes in class, I'd rather type them.

The original is ungrammatical and missing key nouns. 'Taking this' and 'I'd rather do' are vague. Replacing with 'taking notes in class' and 'I'd rather type them' supplies the correct objects and completes the thought. This addresses sentence structure and missing objects.

× I'd rather type it because it's much quicker while trying to listen and understand what a teacher's name.

✓ I'd rather type because it's much quicker when I'm trying to listen and understand what the teacher says.

Problems: unnecessary pronoun 'it' and incorrect phrase 'what a teacher's name.' The clause should be 'what the teacher says.' Also use 'when I'm trying' instead of 'while trying' for clarity. This corrects pronoun and clause errors.

× But when I'm like studying by myself and I do, I'd rather write everything down because I think it helps me memorize or understand the.

✓ But when I'm studying by myself, I'd rather write everything down because I think it helps me memorize or understand things better.

Original includes filler 'like' and an incomplete ending 'understand the.' Remove filler, fix clause order, and complete the object with 'things better.' This corrects sentence structure and incomplete sentence.

× I think I'm using that thing from the last laptop keyboard because I'd rather use my iPad and I think the keyboard on my iPad is similar to what the keyboards that are in laptops.

✓ I usually use my iPad keyboard because I prefer my iPad, and I think the keyboard on my iPad is similar to laptop keyboards.

Problems: awkward pronouns 'that thing' and incorrect relative clause 'what the keyboards that are in laptops.' Simplify to 'laptop keyboards.' Also change tense/aspect to 'usually use' for habitual action. This corrects pronoun misuse and awkward clause structure.

× I guess I would say that when I was still in elementary is actually like Facebook, not famous.

✓ I guess I would say that when I was still in elementary school, Facebook was not common yet.

Original mixes present and past incorrectly and omits 'school.' Use past tense 'was not common' to match the time reference 'when I was.' This fixes tense and missing noun.

× And that's when I learned how to communicate with my father online.

✓ That's when I learned how to communicate with my father online.

Remove the unnecessary conjunction 'And' at the start for cleaner, formal speech. Pronoun use and tense are fine otherwise. Suggestion: avoid starting sentences with 'And' in formal responses.

× But I got hooked with that baby and I was playing his online game called League of Legends.

✓ But I got hooked on that game and I started playing an online game called League of Legends.

'Hooked with that baby' is incorrect and unclear. Use 'hooked on that game.' Also 'his online game' is incorrect pronoun reference; clarify as 'an online game.' This corrects pronoun and idiom usage.

× It's just a strategic day and you need to type really fast, communicate with other people.

✓ It's just a strategic game and you need to type really fast and communicate with other players.

'Strategic day' is a word choice error; 'game' fits. Add conjunction 'and' to connect verbs and change 'other people' to 'other players' for precision. This addresses adjective choice and parallel structure.

× I think they improved that.

✓ I think I've improved at that.

'They improved that' incorrectly uses 'they' and passive meaning. The speaker should use 'I've improved at that' to indicate personal improvement. This corrects pronoun and subject reference.

× I like doing it almost every day, right.

✓ I like practicing almost every day.

'Doing it' is vague; 'practicing' clarifies the activity. Remove filler 'right.' This makes the sentence more natural and complete.

× It's it's like a muscle in the move.

✓ It's like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets.

Original is garbled. Use the idiom 'it's like a muscle' and complete the comparison with 'the more you use it...' This fixes incorrect word choices and completes the metaphor.

× I think yes, you see where the schemes and where the and here eventually you'll get that machine under indeed very quickly rather than slowly.

✓ I think yes; if you practice the keyboard patterns and keep at it, you'll get faster and more accurate over time.

Original is ungrammatical and incoherent. Provide a clear rephrasing that conveys the intended meaning: practicing patterns leads to increased speed and accuracy. This addresses sentence structure and clarity.
