Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct first, then give clear, grammatical supporting details. Avoid vague or incorrect word choices (e.g. 'doing something like draft', 'pressure my imagination', 'do an excitement', 'hand in my teachers the respect'). Use linking words (however, because) and keep it within 3–4 sentences. Focus on specific reasons and examples.

Example: I prefer handwriting for early drafts because it helps me think more freely and sketch ideas on the page. However, I choose typing for final versions or assignments because it is faster and easier to submit to teachers. For example, when I plan an essay I handwrite notes, then type the finished version on my laptop.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly (desktop or laptop) and give a brief reason. Correct word choice: replace 'do my excitement' with 'do my assignments' or 'work'. Use concise linking (but, because) and avoid redundancy.

Example: I usually type on a laptop rather than a desktop because I find it more convenient and portable. However, I don't type every day because I try to avoid long periods in front of a screen, so I often write things by hand instead.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence stating when you learned. Use correct grammar (children, learn to type, required to achieve) and add a brief reason or opinion with linking words (because, so). Be specific about age and context.

Example: I learned to type when I was about eight or nine years old at school because typing was a required skill before entering secondary school in Vietnam. I think this early training is useful because it prepares children for computer-based learning later on.

Suggestion: Give a concise method with specific steps and correct grammar. Avoid filler phrases and repetition. Use linking words (first, also, finally). If you claim a skill (like touch-typing), be confident and accurate in phrasing.

Example: To improve my typing I practice regularly, doing 15–20 minutes of typing exercises each day to increase speed and accuracy. I also use online typing tests to track progress and focus on common errors. As a result, I can touch-type without looking at the keyboard.

× I prefer handwriting whenever I have to doing something like draft 'cause I feel like I've more space to pressure my imagination.

✓ I prefer handwriting whenever I have to do something like drafting, because I feel like I have more space to free my imagination.

The verb after 'have to' should be the base form 'do', not 'doing' (Grammar problem type 8). 'Draft' as a noun should be 'drafting' if referring to the act of creating a draft. 'I've more space to pressure my imagination' is unidiomatic: 'have' should be used instead of contraction plus base (tense/usage), and 'pressure my imagination' is incorrect; 'free my imagination' or 'let my imagination flow' is appropriate. Suggestion: use 'have to do' and change 'draft' to 'drafting' and rephrase the idiom for clarity.

× But if I have to do an excitement, I would prefer typing to hand in my teachers the respect.

✓ But if I have to do something urgent, I would prefer typing to show my teachers respect.

'An excitement' is incorrect; 'something urgent' or 'an assignment' fits context (Grammar problem type 14). 'Hand in my teachers the respect' has wrong word order and collocation; 'show my teachers respect' is correct. Suggestion: choose appropriate noun and use correct verb-noun collocation 'show respect'.

× Usually I will type on the laptop keyboard to do my excitement.

✓ Usually I type on a laptop keyboard to do my assignments.

'Do my excitement' is ungrammatical; 'excitement' is not an activity and should not be used with 'do' (Grammar problem type 10). 'Usually I will type' is awkward; simple present 'I usually type' is preferred for habitual actions. Suggestion: use 'assignments' or 'work' and simple present for habits.

× However, I don't usually type it every day 'cause I don't like to expose a lot to the screen, so normally I would prefer handwriting.

✓ However, I don't usually type every day because I don't like to be exposed to the screen a lot, so I normally prefer handwriting.

'Type it every day' uses unnecessary pronoun 'it' (Grammar problem type 6). 'I don't like to expose a lot to the screen' is ungrammatical; passive 'be exposed to the screen' or 'expose myself to the screen' are correct. Also maintain consistent present tense: 'I normally prefer'. Suggestion: remove 'it', use 'be exposed to the screen', and keep simple present.

× Actually in Vietnam only children's have to learn how to typing when they're about 8 or 9 years old and they have to require achieve this skill before they go to the secondary school.

✓ Actually in Vietnam only children have to learn how to type when they're about 8 or 9 years old, and they are required to achieve this skill before they go to secondary school.

'Children's' is possessive and incorrect; use plural 'children' (Grammar problem type 5). 'Learn how to typing' should be 'learn how to type' (base form after 'learn how to') — also past/present issue. 'They have to require achieve' is ungrammatical; use passive 'are required to achieve'. Remove 'the' before 'secondary school' in general statements. Suggestion: use plural nouns, correct verb forms, and passive for requirement.

× And I think this kind necessary for children especially in this technology age.

✓ And I think this is kind of necessary for children, especially in this technological age.

Missing copula 'is' and incorrect phrase 'this kind necessary' should be 'this is kind of necessary' or better 'this is necessary' (Grammar problem type 14). 'This technology age' should be 'this technological age' or 'the age of technology'. Suggestion: add 'is' and use proper adjective 'technological'.

× I think the key to improve the typing is you have to practice it a lot of like every day to improve the the speed of your typing.

✓ I think the key to improving typing is that you have to practice a lot, like every day, to increase your typing speed.

After 'key to' use gerund 'improving' not infinitive (Grammar problem type 8). Unnecessary 'the' and repetition; 'practice it a lot of like every day' is awkward — simplify to 'practice a lot, like every day'. Use 'increase your typing speed' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'key to improving' and streamline phrasing.

× And also if the people who is proficient in this, they might be don't need to look at the keyboard, they could literally typing without looking at a keyboard like me.

✓ Also, people who are proficient at this might not need to look at the keyboard; they can literally type without looking at it, like I can.

'The people who is' has subject-verb agreement error and wrong article 'the' (Grammar problem type 12 and 27). 'Might be don't need' is ungrammatical; use 'might not need' (modal verb + negation). 'Could literally typing' mixes modal plus gerund; use 'can type' (base verb after modal). 'A keyboard' repeated is unnecessary; use 'it'. Suggestion: correct subject-verb agreement, use proper modal negation, and use base verb after modal.
