Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a brief example. Avoid repetition and unnecessary words.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster and makes editing easier. For example, when I write essays on my laptop I can quickly correct mistakes and rearrange sentences, which saves time and improves my final work.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer, then support it with two clear, relevant details. Avoid hesitations and filler phrases; use linking words for clarity.

Example: Yes, I type on a laptop every day because it is portable and lets me work anywhere. For instance, I often reply to students' emails and prepare lesson materials on the train or at cafés, which would be difficult with a desktop.

Suggestion: Provide a clear time reference and a brief detail about how you learned or practiced. Remove filler words and repeat only necessary information.

Example: I learned to type in senior high school when our school offered a computer class. We practised touch-typing with exercises and games, which helped me improve quickly.

Suggestion: Answer directly and give specific methods you use to improve, with a short example of a routine or resource. Use linking words to connect ideas.

Example: I improve my typing by practising regularly and using online typing lessons. For example, I spend 20 minutes every evening on a typing website to work on accuracy and speed, and I also focus on reducing look-downs at the keyboard.

× because typing we can use the keyboard and can save time and can quickly get what we want.

✓ because when typing we can use the keyboard, save time, and quickly get what we want.

The original sentence omits a subordinating structure and repeats modal-like 'can' unnecessarily. Use 'when typing' (present participle clause) to link action, and coordinate verbs with commas and a conjunction for clarity. Remove redundant 'can' verbs to make the sentence natural. Suggestion: Use a present participle clause 'when typing' and coordinate verbs: 'when typing we can use..., save..., and quickly get...'.

× Yes, of course I use the laptop key keyboard because it's so convenient that I can use it everywhere I want to work like I, I my students, you know, so I will write emails or send messages every time so it's.

✓ Yes, of course I use a laptop keyboard because it's so convenient; I can use it wherever I need to work, such as with my students, so I often write emails or send messages.

Problems: incorrect noun phrase 'laptop key keyboard' and awkward pronoun/phrase fragments ('I, I my students, you know'), plus 'everywhere I want to work' is wordy. Replace with 'a laptop keyboard' (correct noun phrase), 'wherever I need to work' and 'such as with my students'. Change 'every time so it's' to 'so I often write emails or send messages' to express habitual action properly. Remove filler repetitions. Suggestion: Use concise noun phrases and clear clause connectors: 'a laptop keyboard', 'wherever I need to work', 'such as with my students'.

× I barely remember it in my Senior High School.

✓ I can barely remember it from senior high school.

Use of simple present 'remember' is acceptable but preposition and article are incorrect: 'in my Senior High School' is awkward. Use 'from senior high school' and lower-case common noun. 'Can barely remember' is a natural collocation. Suggestion: Use 'can barely remember it from senior high school.'

× That was my first time, uh, learning the learning how to type your keyboard.

✓ That was my first time learning how to type on a keyboard.

The original has redundancy ('learning the learning') and wrong possessive 'your keyboard'. Also 'type on a keyboard' is the correct collocation. Remove filler 'uh' in written correction and redundant words. Suggestion: Use the concise structure: 'That was my first time learning how to type on a keyboard.'

× I think practice makes perfect. I will practice it in my spare time and try to learn some skills.

✓ I think practice makes perfect. I practice in my spare time and try to learn new skills.

Mixing future 'I will practice' with general statement 'practice makes perfect' is unnatural here; use simple present to express habitual action. Also 'learn some skills' is vague; 'learn new skills' is clearer. Use parallel simple present verbs for routines. Suggestion: Use present simple for habits: 'I practice in my spare time and try to learn new skills.'
