Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct minor grammar errors; use one clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., 'handwriting could help me think better' and 'handwriting just help me think better' are redundant). Also correct verb agreement and articles ('handwriting helps', 'a keyboard').

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me think more clearly when I write creatively. For example, when drafting a short story I find handwriting slows me down and lets me notice better ideas and structure, so I can plan my plot logically before typing it up.

Suggestion: Start with a direct short answer (Yes/No) then add one clear reason. Fix small errors ('a a' -> 'a', 'everyday' -> 'every day') and avoid unnecessary contrast words like 'on the contrary' when not needed. Use linking word 'because' to connect reason.

Example: Not really. I don't have daily tasks that require using a computer; instead, I keep a diary every day and prefer handwriting it because it feels more personal and helps me reflect better.

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid awkward phrasing. Use a clear timeline phrase ('I learned... when I was...') and give a specific detail about the game without unclear clauses. Correct articles and sentence structure ('the alphabet appeared on the leaves' unclear — clarify what you mean).

Example: I learned to type in primary school during computer lessons when I was about eight. We practised using a typing game where letters appeared on falling leaves and you had to press the matching keys quickly; that game made learning enjoyable and memorable.

Suggestion: Provide a concise topic sentence then a specific example; avoid filler words like 'uh' and repetitive phrasing. Use linking words ('for example', 'as a result') to show cause and effect and mention any other methods if applicable (practice, lessons).

Example: My typing improved mainly through frequent online chatting when I was a child. For example, I chatted with my cousin every weekend for hours, which forced me to type quickly and accurately; as a result, my speed and confidence increased without formal lessons.

× The main reason is because handwriting could help me think better when I do some literature creation.

✓ The main reason is that handwriting can help me think better when I do some literary creation.

Use 'that' instead of 'because' after 'The main reason is' for correct clause connection. 'Could' implies conditional/past possibility; 'can' fits general ability. 'Literature creation' is unnatural; 'literary creation' or 'creative writing' is better.

× When I type on a keyboard on a computer, it is very likely that I forget what I have just typed very quickly.

✓ When I type on a keyboard on a computer, I am very likely to forget what I have just typed very quickly.

After 'is very likely' use the infinitive 'to forget' rather than base verb 'forget', or rephrase 'I am likely to forget'. This fixes subject-verb and verb form usage.

× But handwriting just help me think better and more logically.

✓ But handwriting just helps me think better and more logically.

Subject is 'handwriting' (singular), so the verb needs third-person singular form 'helps'. This corrects present tense agreement.

× Not really, because I don't have a daily task in my routine that requires me to type on a a computer every day.

✓ Not really, because I don't have a daily task in my routine that requires me to type on a computer every day.

There is a duplicated article 'a a'; remove the extra 'a'. Also 'type on a computer' is correct collocation.

× On the contrary, I do have a habit of keeping a diary everyday, and I prefer doing that in handwriting instead of keeping it on my iPad or my computer.

✓ On the contrary, I have a habit of keeping a diary every day, and I prefer doing that in handwriting rather than keeping it on my iPad or computer.

Use 'every day' (two words) for frequency. 'Prefer X rather than Y' is idiomatic; 'my computer' can be shortened to 'computer' for naturalness.

× I believe I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school and we had a computer lesson, the contents of which included typing.

✓ I believe I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school, during a computer lesson that included typing.

'Learned to type' is more natural than 'learned how to type'. 'The contents of which' is formal and awkward; rephrasing to 'during a computer lesson that included typing' improves sentence structure and flow.

× And the way that we learned how to type was through one typing game, and I remember that game vividly.

✓ And the way we learned to type was through a typing game, and I remember that game vividly.

Use 'a typing game' not 'one typing game' for natural English. 'Learned to type' is preferred over 'learned how to type'. Remove unnecessary 'that' for conciseness.

× It is a the alphabet would appear on the leaves.

✓ In it, the alphabet would appear on the leaves.

Original sentence is ungrammatical. Likely meaning: 'In it, the alphabet would appear on the leaves.' This fixes sentence structure by introducing a proper clause and removing the extraneous 'a'.

× I think my typing skills improved mainly because I used chatting software on my computer very often.

✓ I think my typing skills improved mainly because I used chat software on my computer very often.

'Chat software' is more natural than 'chatting software'. The tense 'improved' with 'used' is fine; this change corrects word choice.

× When I was a child, I used to chat with my cousin who lived in a different city, uh, every weekend, and I would spend hours on my computer chatting with her.

✓ When I was a child, I used to chat with my cousin who lived in a different city every weekend, and I would spend hours on my computer chatting with her.

Remove filler 'uh' in written response. The sentence is otherwise grammatically correct: 'used to' and 'would' correctly describe habitual past actions.

× So I believe that's the biggest reason.

✓ So I believe that's the main reason.

'Biggest reason' is acceptable but 'main reason' is more idiomatic here. No modal error; suggestion improves register and clarity.
