Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid vague phrases like “show my minds” and unnecessary repetition.

Example: I prefer typing because it is faster and more convenient for taking notes in lectures and doing assignments. However, I sometimes handwrite when I want to remember things better or create a personal touch, for example when writing cards to friends.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence then give specific reasons using linking words. Correct minor grammar (e.g., “these computers” → “this computer” or omit). Avoid redundancy like repeating location details.

Example: I type on a laptop every day because I don’t have a desktop at home and I move between school and cafes. Therefore portability and battery life are important for my study routine.

Suggestion: Be clearer and correct vocabulary mistakes. Use one coherent answer: state when you learned, explain how, and give a brief illustrative detail. Avoid incorrect words like “false” and fragmented sentences.

Example: I learned to type in primary school during regular computer classes. My classmates and I practiced typing together and improved through fun competitions and typing games, which helped me become faster and more accurate.

Suggestion: Answer directly and confidently. Use a topic sentence, then offer specific methods and examples with linking words. Avoid vague fillers like “well” and “hmm.”

Example: I improve my typing mainly by regular practice: typing assignments and taking online typing lessons. For example, I use typing websites for 10–15 minutes daily to practice speed and accuracy, and I track my progress with timed tests.

× I like typing because it is more convenient way to write things down quickly, especially when I'm in lecture or doing some assignments.

✓ I like typing because it is a more convenient way to write things down quickly, especially when I'm in lectures or doing assignments.

The sentence needs the indefinite article 'a' before 'more convenient way' because a singular countable noun requires an article. 'In lecture' should be plural or use an article: 'in lectures' is natural when speaking generally. 'Some assignments' is redundant with 'doing assignments' so 'some' can be removed for clarity.

× But sometimes handwriting helps to show my minds to people by letters or something.

✓ But sometimes handwriting helps to show my thoughts to people with letters or something.

The plural possessive 'my minds' is incorrect; 'thoughts' is the correct noun. 'By letters' is awkward; 'with letters' or 'by writing letters' is more natural. Use vocabulary that matches the intended meaning.

× Definitely laptop because I actually don't have desktop at my home and I usually spend my time at school or at a cafe rather than staying at home, so portability is really important to me to do things with this computers.

✓ Definitely a laptop because I actually don't have a desktop at home and I usually spend my time at school or at a cafe rather than staying at home, so portability is really important to me when using computers.

Countable nouns need articles: 'a laptop' and 'a desktop'. 'At my home' is better as 'at home'. 'This computers' is incorrect plural with 'this'; use 'computers' or 'these computers' or rephrase to 'when using computers'. Subject-verb agreement issue arises from incorrect demonstrative with plural noun; correcting the article and wording fixes agreement and clarity.

× Well, I learned it when I was a primary school student. Actually. We had computer classes at school, so I learned to with my friends naturally.

✓ Well, I learned it when I was a primary school student. Actually, we had computer classes at school, so I learned it with my friends naturally.

There is a misplaced period after 'Actually' which breaks sentence flow; combine and use a comma. 'Learned to' is incomplete; need 'learned it' or 'learned to type'. Use past tense consistently: 'learned it with my friends' is clear.

× So we learned how to type false and accurately.

✓ So we learned how to type quickly and accurately.

'Type false' is incorrect; likely intended 'fast' or 'quickly'. Use the adverb 'accurately' to modify the verb. 'Quickly and accurately' is the correct adverbial pair to describe typing.

× So we kind of did a game to compete it.

✓ So we kind of played a game to compete.

'Did a game' is unnatural; use 'played a game'. 'Compete it' is incorrect use of object; 'compete' is intransitive here so no object needed or use 'compete against each other'. Rephrase to a natural structure.

× Well I haven't tried it for so long, like to improve my typing skills, but in everything, well you know doing more gets you better.

✓ Well I haven't practiced it for a long time to improve my typing skills, but in general, you know, practicing more makes you better.

'Haven't tried it for so long' is unnatural; 'haven't practiced it for a long time' fits the context. 'Doing more gets you better' is ungrammatical; use 'practicing more makes you better' or 'the more you practice, the better you get'. Tense and collocation improved.

× So if you have any chance to type more like assignments or tasks, it would get me better.

✓ So if you have any chance to type more, such as for assignments or tasks, it will make you better.

The original mixes second person 'you' and first person 'me' incorrectly: 'it would get me better' is unclear. Maintain pronoun consistency: address the listener ('you') and say 'will make you better' or refer to self ('it would make me better'). Also use 'such as' to introduce examples and correct modal/tense to match the conditional.
