Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and correct pronunciation/grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and give one specific reason with a linking word. Also correct collocations ("tiring" not "tired").

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. Firstly, typing is much faster for me, so I can finish tasks quickly; for example, I can draft emails and lesson plans in half the time. Therefore, I usually choose a keyboard when I need to work efficiently.

Suggestion: Good structure and detail. Improve by combining sentences to avoid redundancy and adding one linking word. Also replace "as well" duplicate. Keep within 4–5 sentences maximum.

Example: Yes, I type on my laptop every day because I'm a teacher and I use it to prepare lessons and resources. However, when I'm away, I use my iPad or phone to send quick messages and check emails.

Suggestion: Correct pronunciation and grammar errors and be more precise with time expressions. Use one linking word to connect the background and the result. Avoid unclear phrases like "once off subject".

Example: I learned to type when I was in secondary school because typing used to be a compulsory subject. My teacher taught proper finger placement, so I still use those techniques now for homework and emails.

Suggestion: Be direct and specific about the methods you use to improve. Remove filler words and explain one or two concrete strategies with linking words (e.g., "by", "so").

Example: I improve my typing by practicing daily while preparing lesson plans and resources; for example, I use online typing exercises to increase speed and accuracy, and I set a goal to reduce errors each week.

× Definitely I I have found that I prefer typing to handwriting because I think writing by handwriting is very tired and I don't like to write anything.

✓ Definitely, I have found that I prefer typing to handwriting because writing by hand is very tiring and I don't like to write much.

Problems: duplicated 'I', awkward adverb placement at start, incorrect phrase 'writing by handwriting', incorrect adjective 'very tired' (should be 'tiring'), and 'write anything' is unnatural. Suggestions: remove duplicate 'I'; place comma after introductory adverb 'Definitely'; use 'writing by hand' or 'writing by hand' and use the adjective 'tiring' to describe the activity; replace 'write anything' with 'write much' or 'write a lot' for natural negative sentence structure.

× Yes, of course. I type on my laptop every day because I'm a teacher and I need to prepare my lesson and resources.

✓ Yes, of course. I type on my laptop every day because I'm a teacher and I need to prepare my lessons and resources.

Problem: singular 'lesson' is unnatural when referring to routine preparation of multiple lessons. According to article/number rules, use plural 'lessons' for general repeated activity. Suggestion: change to 'lessons' to match daily/regular preparation.

× I also occasionally use my iPad and mobile phone to quickly send messages and check emails when I am away from my laptop as well.

✓ I also occasionally use my iPad and mobile phone to quickly send messages and check emails when I am away from my laptop.

Problem: redundant prepositions/phrases 'also' and 'as well' create repetition. Suggestion: remove one (preferably 'as well') for concise, natural sentence. Preposition 'away from' is correct.

× I learned to tithe when I was in secondary school because typing was once off subject that I have I had to learn at that time.

✓ I learned to type when I was in secondary school because typing was once a subject that I had to learn then.

Problems: misspelling 'tithe' should be 'type'; 'once off subject' is incorrect word order and words; unnecessary present perfect 'I have I had'; tense consistency: past simple 'learned' and past 'was' and 'had to learn'. Suggestions: correct spelling, reorder noun phrase to 'a subject', remove extra words, and use 'then' for time reference.

× My teacher showed us proper finger placement and I still use those skills now for homework and emails.

✓ My teacher showed us proper finger placement, and I still use those skills now for homework and emails.

Problem: missing comma before coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses. Prepositions are fine. Suggestion: add comma to join clauses correctly and improve readability.

× Uh, actually I can improve my typing because I need to use a laptop every single day because I'm a teacher.

✓ Actually, I have improved my typing because I need to use a laptop every single day as I'm a teacher.

Problem: 'can improve' implies future potential but context asks how you improve; better to state completed/ongoing result using present perfect 'have improved' or present continuous 'am improving'. Also repetition of 'because'. Suggestion: use 'have improved' to convey result of daily practice and replace second 'because' with 'as' for variety.

× I have to prepare a Lesson plan and find many resources, so it's just a great experience to improve.

✓ I have to prepare lesson plans and find many resources, so it's a great way to improve.

Problems: unnecessary capitalization of 'Lesson', awkward article 'a' before 'Lesson plan' when referring to routine plural activity, and 'it's just a great experience to improve' is unnatural. Suggestions: use plural 'lesson plans' and rephrase to 'a great way to improve' for natural expression.
