Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear, natural and relevant, but there are minor grammar and phrasing issues and some redundancy. Correct the small grammar error (“That’s that” → “That said” or “That said,”) and tighten the response to avoid repetition. Add a linking word to connect the two ideas and include one concrete example to make the detail more specific.

Example: I prefer typing because it's much faster and more convenient for long pieces of writing. That said, I still handwrite notes sometimes when studying because writing by hand helps me concentrate and remember details—for example, I write summaries in my notebook after lectures to help revision.

Suggestion: Good concise response with clear reasons. Improve coherence with a brief topic sentence and stronger linking words, and avoid repeating 'especially' twice. You can add a specific frequency or typical task to make the answer more concrete.

Example: Yes, I use my laptop keyboard almost every day for studying, doing homework and practicing English. It's more convenient than handwriting, particularly when I need to type long assignments or quickly search for information online—for example, I spend about two hours daily typing essays and reading articles.

Suggestion: Content is relevant and chronological, but fix small grammar mistakes and improve linking. Use correct article and plural forms (“around 7 or 8 years old”; “type very slowly”) and add a brief specific example of improvement (e.g., a milestone or approximate speed) to strengthen the response.

Example: I learned to type when I was around seven or eight years old. At first I typed very slowly, but I gradually improved by doing schoolwork and playing computer games; for instance, after a year I could type short essays without looking at the keys. Now I can type fairly quickly and accurately without watching the keyboard.

Suggestion: Solid, natural answer. Improve grammatical accuracy (“exercises”), and add a linking phrase and a specific routine or example of an exercise to make it more vivid. Mentioning frequency or a specific website/app strengthens credibility.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly and doing online exercises. For example, I spend 20 minutes three times a week on typing.com drills and try to type without looking at the keys to boost speed and accuracy. Over time this routine has made my typing more natural and efficient.

× That's that I still enjoy handwriting from time to time, particularly when I'm taking notes or studying, as I find it helps me concentrate and remember information.

✓ That said, I still enjoy handwriting from time to time, particularly when I'm taking notes or studying, as I find it helps me concentrate and remember information.

The original phrase 'That's that I still enjoy' is ungrammatical and likely a misuse of the discourse marker. Use 'That said' or 'Having said that' to contrast the previous statement. This fixes sentence structure and improves coherence. Suggestion: use common discourse markers like 'That said' or 'However' to introduce a contrasting point.

× I think I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was around 7 or 8 year old.

✓ I think I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was around 7 or 8 years old.

The noun 'year' needs plural form 'years' after a number greater than one. This is an article/number agreement error classified under article errors in the provided list. Suggestion: after '7 or 8' use the plural 'years old'.

× At first I could only type very slow, but I gradually got faster through using computers for school work and playing games.

✓ At first I could only type very slowly, but I gradually got faster through using computers for schoolwork and playing games.

'Slow' is an adjective; after a verb like 'type' we need an adverb 'slowly'. Also 'school work' is more commonly one word 'schoolwork'. These are errors in word form and collocation and affect past-tense narrative clarity. Suggestion: use adverbs after verbs ('slowly') and use standard compound nouns ('schoolwork').

× I sometimes use online typing exercise to improve my speed and accuracy.

✓ I sometimes use online typing exercises to improve my speed and accuracy.

'Exercise' should be plural 'exercises' to match context (multiple practice activities) and because 'use' typically takes a count noun here. The error relates to verb + -ing form environment where the gerund phrase 'typing exercises' is the correct noun phrase. Suggestion: use 'exercises' or 'exercise programs' when referring to practice activities online.

× I think the more I practice, the more naturally and effectively I can type.

✓ I think the more I practice, the more naturally and effectively I will be able to type.

The original mixes present modal 'can' with a comparative result clause; it's more natural to use 'will be able to' to express the future consequence of continued practice. This is a tense/modal choice issue within present/future context. Suggestion: use 'will be able to' to show improvement over time caused by ongoing practice.
