Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise, correct repetitions and verb tenses, and add a clear reason with a linking word. Use one topic sentence and one supporting detail. Avoid repetition like “paper paper”.

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because I grew up doing most of my schoolwork on paper, so writing feels more comfortable and helps me remember things better.

Suggestion: Make the answer grammatically correct, use linking words (however, while), and keep it to two sentences: state the main idea then give a brief reason or context.

Example: I usually type on a desktop at work because that's what is available in the office. However, when I'm at home I use my laptop for any work-related typing.

Suggestion: Correct tense and remove filler words. Start with a clear time expression, then give one supporting detail about how you learned. Avoid stuttering and redundancy.

Example: I first learned to type on a keyboard after high school when I enrolled in a computer class, which taught me basic typing and other computer skills.

Suggestion: Use correct grammar and finish your thoughts. Explain specific actions you took to improve (practice methods, frequency, tools) and use linking words to show sequence (first, then, later). Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Example: I improved my typing by practicing on my laptop every day after high school, first using online typing exercises and then completing many computer-based assignments in college, which helped increase my speed and accuracy.

× I would prefer handwriting over typing anytime because when I was in school our study was fully based on paper paper and not any computer.

✓ I would prefer handwriting to typing anytime because when I was in school our studies were fully based on paper and not on computers.

Errors: incorrect article/word choice and repetition. 'prefer A to B' is the standard pattern, not 'prefer A over B anytime' (though 'over' can be used, 'to' is more common). 'study' should be plural 'studies' to match general academic activities. Remove duplicate 'paper'. Use 'on computers' or 'on a computer', and include preposition 'on'. Suggestion: use 'prefer A to B', pluralize countable nouns when speaking generally, and avoid repetition.

× Whenever I'm at work I usually type on desktop because that's what available in office.

✓ Whenever I'm at work I usually type on a desktop because that's what is available in the office.

Errors: missing article and verb. 'desktop' needs the indefinite article 'a' when not specific. 'available in office' requires 'is available in the office'. Add 'the' before 'office' to indicate the workplace. Suggestion: include necessary articles and a form of 'be' after 'what'.

× But when I get back to home then I if I need to do anything related to work then I usually find myself using my laptop for type.

✓ But when I get back home, if I need to do anything related to work I usually find myself using my laptop to type.

Errors: incorrect preposition and infinitive form. Use 'get back home' (no 'to'). Remove extra 'then' and 'I' duplication. Use 'to type' not 'for type'. Suggestion: use 'get back home' and the infinitive 'to + verb' after 'use' in this sense.

× Whenever I'm at work I usually type on desktop because that's what available in office.

✓ Whenever I'm at work I usually type on a desktop because that's what is available in the office.

Error: missing auxiliary 'is' to form present simple description. 'that's what available' should be 'that's what is available'. Suggestion: include the correct form of 'be' when describing availability.

× The for the first time when I learn typing was after my high school.

✓ The first time I learned to type was after high school.

Errors: word order, incorrect tense and verb form. Use past simple 'learned' for a finished action in the past. Use 'to type' or 'typing' in correct structure: 'learned to type' or 'learned typing' (latter less common). Remove extra words 'The for the' and unnecessary 'my' before 'high school' unless specifying a particular school. Suggestion: use simple past and clear word order: 'The first time I learned to type was after high school.'

× I I I had joined a computer class where I could learn how to type on a keyboard and that was my first time when I was familiar with computer skills.

✓ I had joined a computer class where I learned how to type on a keyboard, and that was the first time I became familiar with computer skills.

Errors: repetition 'I I I', awkward tense and phrasing. 'had joined' implies past perfect but simple past 'I joined' or 'I had joined' must be used consistently; past perfect is unnecessary without a later reference. Use 'learned' not 'could learn' for completed action. 'my first time when I was familiar' is awkward; use 'the first time I became familiar'. Suggestion: remove repetitions, use consistent past tense and clearer phrasing.

× My typing started improving when I, uh, practice typing on my laptop for a long time after my high school.

✓ My typing started improving when I practiced typing on my laptop for a long time after high school.

Errors: tense mismatch. 'started improving' (past) should be followed by past simple 'practiced' not present 'practice'. Remove filler 'uh' and 'my' before 'high school' unless specific. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent for past events.

× When I joined college, then all of my studies was best on computer.

✓ When I joined college, all of my studies were based on computers.

Errors: subject-verb agreement and word choice. 'studies' is plural so use 'were' not 'was'. 'best on computer' is incorrect; use 'based on computers' or 'computer-based'. Suggestion: match plural subjects with plural verbs and use correct collocations like 'based on' or 'computer-based'.

× I was required to complete my assignment from.

✓ I was required to complete my assignments from my courses.

Error: sentence ends abruptly and lacks object or prepositional phrase. 'complete my assignment from' is incomplete. Clarify what assignments and source: 'assignments from my courses' or 'assignments for my classes'. Suggestion: always include the object and prepositional phrase to complete the meaning.
