Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the response more natural and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a brief reason and a specific detail or example. Avoid awkward phrases like "used hand" and reduce redundancy.

Example: I prefer handwriting. I’ve always written by hand since childhood, and I find it helps me remember information better; for example, I often take handwritten notes during lectures because they stick in my memory longer.

Suggestion: Combine the short sentences into one or two coherent sentences and add a specific reason or brief example. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., "because," "so").

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it’s portable and convenient around campus, so I can work in lectures, the library, or cafés without carrying heavy equipment.

Suggestion: Correct grammar and vocabulary errors ("time" → "type"). Provide a clear time reference and a short detail about how you learned to make the answer more informative and natural.

Example: I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school; my teacher taught touch-typing basics during computer class, and I practiced simple exercises at home.

Suggestion: Keep the structure but correct tense and add a specific example of a test or measurable result. Use linking words to show cause and effect (e.g., "so" or "as a result").

Example: I improve my typing by taking online speed and accuracy tests every weekend, such as 10-minute typing drills; as a result, my speed has increased from 40 to 60 words per minute and my accuracy is much better.

× I prefer handwriting because I have been used hand since I was a child.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I have been used to writing by hand since I was a child.

The error is incorrect use of the verb phrase 'used' with an object. The correct structure is 'be used to' + noun/gerund. Also 'hand' should be 'writing by hand' or 'writing with my hand'. Use 'have been used to' to indicate a habitual state from the past to present. Suggestion: Use 'be used to' + gerund for accustomed actions, e.g., 'I am used to writing by hand.'

× I type on a laptop keyboard. Every day because it is convenient for me everywhere on campus.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is convenient for me everywhere on campus.

The sentence is fragmented: 'Every day' is a sentence fragment when placed after a period. Combine into one sentence and place the adverbial phrase 'every day' in a natural position (after the verb phrase or before 'because'). Suggestion: Avoid sentence fragments by connecting dependent phrases to the main clause.

× I learned how to time on a keyboard when I was in primary school.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school.

The verb 'time' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'type'. This is a lexical error rather than a grammar inflection, but it affects verb usage. Use the base form 'type' after 'learned how to'. Suggestion: Use 'learned how to' + base verb, e.g., 'learned how to type.'

× I improve my typing by doing online tests every weekend. It's helped me to get faster and accurate.

✓ I improve my typing by doing online tests every weekend. They have helped me become faster and more accurate.

Two issues: 'It's helped' mixes singular 'it' with plural 'tests' and uses present perfect with unclear reference. Replace with 'They have helped' to match plural subject 'online tests'. Also 'to get faster and accurate' is ungrammatical; use 'become faster and more accurate' or 'get faster and more accurate.' Suggestion: Ensure pronoun agrees with antecedent and use 'become' or 'get' with parallel adjectives, e.g., 'faster and more accurate.'
