Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid redundancy (e.g., "for me personally"). Correct verb forms and noun usage (platforms, type, easy to edit).

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and much easier to edit. For example, when I make a mistake I can quickly delete or change text, and documents can be shared online for collaboration.

Suggestion: Use correct tense and singular/plural forms, and combine sentences smoothly. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific detail using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "so"). Avoid repeating "personally."

Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it is more convenient for my lifestyle. Since I often work in different places, I only need to carry the laptop, which makes working on tasks quicker and more efficient.

Suggestion: Give a clear, concise answer with correct past tense and smoother linking. Replace awkward phrases ("I did learn") with simple past. Add one specific detail about the practice and its lasting benefit.

Example: I learned to type when I was about 12 in my first computer class at school. We practised with typing games, and because of that I developed speed and accuracy that have helped me with school assignments ever since.

Suggestion: Be precise and correct finger names ("pinky" only once). Use linking words (e.g., "for example," "as a result") and keep within 3–4 sentences. Mention measurable improvement if possible (speed or accuracy).

Example: I improve my typing using an online typing game that teaches correct finger placement and offers step-by-step exercises. For example, after several weeks of practice my speed increased and I now make fewer mistakes when typing assignments.

× For me personally, I prefer typing because nowadays due to technology advancement, there are a lot of platform that I can typing on it and it really easily to edit when I need to edit some of the characters more than the handwriting.

✓ For me personally, I prefer typing because nowadays, due to technological advancements, there are a lot of platforms that I can type on and it is really easy to edit characters compared with handwriting.

Errors: 'a lot of platform' uses incorrect quantifier + singular noun; should be 'a lot of platforms' (plural). 'technology advancement' should be 'technological advancements' (adjective + plural noun). 'that I can typing on it' mixes infinitive/gerund and redundant pronoun; correct is 'that I can type on' (base verb). 'it really easily to edit' uses adverb/adjective incorrectly; correct is 'it is really easy to edit'. Suggestion: use plural nouns with 'a lot of', use adjective form 'technological', use base verb after modal/auxiliary or relative clause, and keep sentence concise by removing redundant pronouns.

× Since I often need to work in a different places, I only have to carry the laptop rather than a separate keyboard, which make computing easier and faster.

✓ Since I often need to work in different places, I only have to carry the laptop rather than a separate keyboard, which makes computing easier and faster.

Errors: 'work in a different places' mixes singular determiner with plural noun; correct is 'different places' (remove 'a'). 'which make' has subject 'which' referring to 'carrying the laptop' or 'the laptop', requiring third person singular 'makes'. Suggestion: ensure determiners match noun number and use correct verb form for third person singular agreement.

× I personally typed on a laptop keyboard every day because it's very convenient for my lifestyle.

✓ I personally type on a laptop keyboard every day because it's very convenient for my lifestyle.

Error: 'typed' is past tense but context asks about current habit 'every day'; use present simple 'type'. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions.

× I did learn how to type on the keyboard first when I was around 12 years old during my first computer class in primary school.

✓ I first learned how to type on the keyboard when I was around 12 years old during my first computer class in primary school.

Errors: 'did learn' is unnecessary emphatic past; simple past 'learned' is natural. Word order improved by placing 'first' before 'learned'. Suggestion: use simple past for completed actions and place adverbs in natural positions.

× It was great, but we practice with typing game and that skill has been useful for schoolwork ever since.

✓ It was great, but we practiced with typing games, and that skill has been useful for schoolwork ever since.

Errors: 'we practice' is present but context is past; use past 'we practiced'. 'typing game' should be plural 'typing games' or 'a typing game' depending on meaning; plural fits general. Missing comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: match tense and use correct number for countable nouns.

× I improve my typing skills with a small typing game created by a developer.

✓ I improve my typing skills with a small typing game created by a developer.

No grammatical change needed; sentence is acceptable. Suggestion: keep as is. (No error matching the provided list.)

× The game focuses on correct finger placement, especially for the pink, pinky and other fingers, and gives step by step exercise to follow.

✓ The game focuses on correct finger placement, especially for the ring, pinky and other fingers, and gives step-by-step exercises to follow.

Errors: 'pink' is incorrect finger name; likely 'ring' or 'middle' needed along with 'pinky'. 'step by step' needs hyphens as a compound adjective before a noun: 'step-by-step'. 'exercise' should be plural 'exercises' to match 'gives'. Suggestion: use correct finger names, hyphenate compound adjectives, and ensure noun number agreement.

× After practising it, I can type faster and make fewer mistakes.

✓ After practising it, I can type faster and make fewer mistakes.

Sentence is grammatically correct. 'Practising' is a correct present participle after 'after'. Suggestion: keep as is; if using American English, consider spelling 'practicing'.
