Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the response grammatical, concise, and add a brief reason with a linking word. Use singular/plural agreement and avoid repetition of the word “typing.”

Example: I prefer typing because it saves time and is faster than handwriting. For example, I can type lecture notes quickly and edit them easily afterwards.

Suggestion: Answer directly without asking the examiner a question, reduce repetition, and add a specific reason using a linking word to make it coherent.

Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it’s portable and more comfortable for me. For instance, I can work on the sofa or take it to class, which I can’t do with a desktop.

Suggestion: Give a direct, structured answer and avoid fillers. If you haven’t learned, say when you plan to and give a brief reason why, using linking words to add clarity.

Example: I haven’t formally learned to touch-type yet, but I plan to start lessons next month because it will make my study and work faster and more accurate.

Suggestion: Provide a specific, concise method and an example of how you practice, using linking words to connect ideas and avoid vague generalities.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing for 20 minutes daily on online drills and typing tests. As a result, my speed and accuracy have steadily increased over the past few weeks.

× I prefer typing because typing reduce time.

✓ I prefer typing because typing reduces time.

The verb 'reduce' must agree with the singular subject 'typing' (third person singular). Use 'reduces'. Suggestion: Match verb form to subject (he/she/it + verb+s in present simple).

× I prefer laptop keyboard everyday. Do you do? It's easy to type on laptop so I prefer laptop.

✓ I prefer a laptop keyboard every day. Do you? It's easy to type on a laptop, so I prefer a laptop.

Multiple issues: 'laptop keyboard' needs an article 'a' when spoken generally; 'everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverbial phrase) to mean each day; 'Do you do?' is incorrect — ask 'Do you?'; 'on laptop' and 'prefer laptop' need articles 'on a laptop' and 'prefer a laptop'. Suggestion: Use 'a' before singular countable nouns and use 'every day' for frequency, and simplify the question to 'Do you?'.

× Uh, look, I haven't learned typing on keyboard. I wanna be, I want to learn, but, uh, for now I don't know how to type on keyboard.

✓ Uh, look, I haven't learned how to type on a keyboard. I want to learn, but for now I don't know how to type on a keyboard.

Use the correct infinitive 'learn how to type' rather than 'learn typing'; include article 'a' before 'keyboard'; 'wanna be' is informal and unclear—use 'I want to learn'. Suggestion: Use 'learn how to' + verb and include articles for singular countable nouns; avoid informal contractions in formal responses.

× It's simply we have to practice on a daily basis. It will improve.

✓ It's simple: we have to practice on a daily basis. It will improve our skills.

'Simply' (adverb) used where adjective 'simple' fits; sentence structure awkward. Also 'It will improve' is vague and lacks an object — specify what will improve (our skills/typing). Suggestion: Use appropriate adjective vs adverb and include the object of 'improve' for clarity.
