Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and finish your ideas. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid filler and incomplete sentences. Also correct minor grammar ("convenient and easy" → "more convenient and easier") and finish the final clause (e.g., "so it helps me remember").

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and more convenient. For example, typing lets me edit and organize notes quickly. However, when I need to memorise something, I sometimes write it on paper because the physical act of writing helps me remember.

Suggestion: Organize your response: start with a clear statement about which device you use, then give concise supporting details. Eliminate hesitations and correct grammar ("I works" → "I work", "everyday" → "every day"). Use linking words (for example, therefore, because) to connect ideas and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I mainly type on a laptop every day because I need to write and edit content. I work as a content creator and researcher, so I produce articles and market research reports regularly. Therefore, a portable laptop suits my workflow best.

Suggestion: Give a clear time reference and avoid uncertainty phrases like "I think" and unfinished sentences. Use a topic sentence with a specific time, then add brief supporting details using linking words (e.g., "later", "afterwards"). Correct unclear or incorrect phrases ("We both are first on computers" is unclear) and finish the final clause.

Example: I learned to type when I was a teenager, about twenty years ago. I began with the English keyboard at school, and later, when I needed to type in Farsi, I took classes to learn the Farsi layout.

Suggestion: Be concise and avoid repetition ("and it and it"). Start with a clear statement about what you are doing, then give one or two specific details about the method and the benefit, using linking words like "so" or "which". Use correct article usage ("a an" → "an").

Example: I've been improving my typing over the past few months by using an online platform that offers scheduled lessons and practice exercises. The structured lessons have helped me increase my speed and accuracy.

× I think typing is more convenient and easy.

✓ I think typing is more convenient and easier.

Using two adjectives in a comparative structure requires parallel forms. 'More convenient' is comparative; 'easy' should be its comparative form 'easier' to match. Use consistent comparative forms when comparing the same thing. Suggestion: Use 'more + adjective' for longer adjectives and comparative form for short adjectives (easier).

× Although sometimes when I want to memorize something I would keep a note and write it on a piece of paper so it would.

✓ Sometimes, when I want to memorize something, I make a note and write it on a piece of paper so I will remember it.

The original sentence has an incomplete clause and awkward use of 'would' and 'so it would' with no object. Replace 'would keep a note' with 'make a note' and finish the purpose clause with 'so I will remember it' to clearly express intent and result. Use commas to separate the subordinate clause. Suggestion: Ensure purpose/result clauses have a clear subject and verb and avoid leaving clauses unfinished.

× So what I do is, but I do every day is uh, writing and editing.

✓ What I do every day is writing and editing.

The original contains disfluent insertions 'so' and 'but' and incorrect word order. Simplify to a clearexpressed subject-complement structure: 'What I do every day is...'. Also use the gerund forms 'writing and editing' as complements. Suggestion: Remove filler words and keep the sentence structure 'What I do every day is + -ing'.

× So I works mostly on laptops everyday.

✓ So I work mostly on laptops every day.

The verb 'works' is the third-person singular form, but the subject 'I' requires 'work'. Also 'everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverbial phrase) to mean 'each day'. Suggestion: Use 'I work' for first person and write 'every day' when meaning 'each day'.

× It was around I think 20 years ago or maybe more when I was a teenager.

✓ It was around, I think, 20 years ago or maybe more when I was a teenager.

This sentence mainly needs punctuation to clarify the parenthetical phrase 'I think'. The tense 'was' is appropriate because it refers to a past time. Adding commas improves readability and flow. Suggestion: Use commas to set off parenthetical phrases such as 'I think'.

× We both are first on computers, so I started typing and learning how to type with English keyboard layouts.

✓ I was one of the first in my family to use computers, so I started learning to type with English keyboard layouts.

'We both are first on computers' is ungrammatical and unclear. Clarify the intended meaning: likely that the student was among the first in a group to use computers. Use 'learning to type' or 'learning how to type' consistently; 'started learning to type' is more natural. Suggestion: Make the subject and comparison clear (e.g., 'one of the first in my family') and use consistent verb forms ('started learning to type').

× Then later when I needed to write in Farsi, I took some classes and.

✓ Later, when I needed to write in Farsi, I took some classes.

The original ends with an incomplete conjunction 'and.' Removing 'and' completes the sentence. Also add a comma after the introductory adverb 'Later.' Suggestion: Avoid leaving coordinating conjunctions without a following clause; finish the sentence or remove the conjunction.

× Actually, I've been practicing typing this past few months.

✓ Actually, I've been practicing typing for the past few months.

The present perfect continuous 'I've been practicing' is correct, but the time expression needs 'for' before 'the past few months' to indicate duration. Without 'for' the phrase is ungrammatical. Suggestion: Use 'for the past/last + time period' with continuous tenses to express duration.

× I found a an online platform which offers scheduled lessons and practices.

✓ I found an online platform that offers scheduled lessons and practice exercises.

Remove the duplicated article 'a an' and choose 'an' before a vowel sound. 'Which' is acceptable but 'that' is more natural in defining relative clauses. 'Practices' is awkward; use 'practice exercises' or simply 'practice'. Suggestion: Use correct articles ('an'), and prefer 'that' in defining clauses; use natural collocations like 'practice exercises'.

× It's really useful and it and it helps me a lot.

✓ It's really useful and it helps me a lot.

The sentence contains a repeated fragment 'and it and it'. Remove the duplicate to make a grammatical coordinated sentence. The tense and verb forms are otherwise correct. Suggestion: Edit out repeated words or filler fragments to improve clarity and fluency.
