Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct small errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason and a short example. Avoid redundancy (e.g., “hand write” → “handwrite”; “I've been just typing usually” → “I usually type now”).

Example: I prefer handwriting for personal notes and journals because it helps me remember ideas better. However, I usually type for work and school since most tasks are online, which is faster and more convenient.

Suggestion: Keep the answer direct, use one linking phrase to add a brief reason or comparison, and avoid repeating the same idea. Use slightly more varied vocabulary (portable → convenient; feels better → more comfortable).

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it’s more convenient to carry around. Also, I find laptop keyboards more comfortable for daily use than desktop keyboards.

Suggestion: Correct vocabulary errors and be more concise. Replace wrong words ("dive on the keyboard" → "type on the keyboard") and avoid overlong, vague phrases. Give one clear time reference, one concise description of how you learned, and one specific detail about what you learned.

Example: I learned to type on a keyboard when I was seven. My school had IT classes in the computer lab where the teacher showed us basic typing and how to use both desktops and laptops, which I found very enjoyable.

Suggestion: Make the response more fluent and correct small mistakes. Use linking words to structure the explanation and include one concrete example (name a site or describe a drill). Keep it under five sentences.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing on online typing sites that measure words per minute. For example, I use timed exercises where I copy a paragraph and try to increase my accuracy and speed each week.

× Personally I like to hand write my notes and my thoughts like on a journal, but since most stuff is done online I've been just typing usually.

✓ Personally, I like to handwrite my notes and my thoughts, like in a journal, but since most stuff is done online I've usually just been typing.

Use 'handwrite' as a single verb rather than two words; 'in a journal' is the correct preposition for location; adverb order 'usually just been typing' or 'just been typing usually' should place 'usually' before 'just' or after 'been' for natural English. The original also had awkward word order. Suggestion: combine 'hand write' to 'handwrite', use 'in' with 'journal', and place adverbs near the auxiliary verb for clarity.

× I type on my laptop keyboard since a laptop is more portable and easy to carry around, and it feels better to type on a laptop keyboard than a desktop one.

✓ I type on my laptop keyboard since a laptop is more portable and easier to carry around, and it feels better to type on a laptop keyboard than on a desktop one.

Use comparative adjective 'easier' (adjective form) to match 'more portable'; parallel structure requires 'easier to carry' not 'easy to carry'. Also include 'on' before 'a desktop one' for parallel prepositional phrasing. Suggestion: keep comparatives parallel and maintain prepositions for clarity.

× I was seven years old when I learned how to dive on the keyboard.

✓ I was seven years old when I learned how to type on the keyboard.

The verb 'dive' is incorrect in context; the intended action is 'type'. This is a lexical error rather than tense, but it affects meaning. Suggestion: use the correct verb 'type' for keyboard skills.

× In our school we would have IT classes where they would take us to a computer lab and they would teach us certain computer things and those were our most fun classes and it really taught me a lot about the desktop and laptops technology.

✓ At our school we had IT classes where they took us to a computer lab and taught us various computer skills, and those were our most fun classes; they really taught me a lot about desktop and laptop technology.

Use 'at our school' rather than 'in'; simplify conditional 'would have' to past simple 'had' for completed past events. 'Certain computer things' is vague—use 'various computer skills'. Remove unnecessary articles: 'desktop and laptop technology' is uncountable here, so use no article or match singular/plural consistently. Also streamline repetitive 'they would' to past simple. Suggestion: use simple past for habitual past events and choose precise nouns.

× There are websites where you can check what your speed of typing is and you they give you a paragraph and you have to write the whole paragraph in a certain time limit and they check your words per minute and I would practice those and I improve my typing that way.

✓ There are websites where you can check your typing speed; they give you a paragraph that you have to type within a time limit, and they check your words per minute. I would practice with those sites and improve my typing that way.

Remove the redundant and misplaced pronoun 'you' after 'and'; break the long sentence into clearer clauses. Use 'typing speed' rather than 'speed of typing'. Use 'type within a time limit' for natural phrasing. Replace vague 'those' with 'those sites'. Suggestion: split long sentences, remove redundant pronouns, and use natural collocations like 'typing speed' and 'type within'.
