Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct minor grammar errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason with an example. Replace vague phrase “for some way” with a concrete explanation.

Example: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand I can draw quick diagrams and this makes it easier to recall ideas during revision.

Suggestion: Fix minor fluency and cohesion issues and use linking words. Begin with a direct short response, then add a clear reason and a brief comparison.

Example: No, I don't. I only use my desktop or laptop for assignments because they are better for typing long documents. In everyday life I mainly use my phone and my iPad since they are more convenient for quick tasks.

Suggestion: Eliminate hesitations and correct tense/grammar. Give a single clear sentence stating the time, then explain why with a specific detail. Avoid filler words like “uh” and repeated fragments.

Example: I learned to type in seventh grade because the school started requiring laptops for a computer class. As a result, I practiced basic typing skills to complete assignments more quickly.

Suggestion: Organize answer: state current situation then describe past methods with linking words. Be specific about what you practiced and give a short result. Avoid vagueness like “there's a pattern.”

Example: I used to improve my typing by practicing regularly and watching YouTube tutorials that taught touch-typing techniques. For example, I followed exercises that focused on finger placement and timed drills, which helped me increase my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and it is easier for me for some way.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and it is easier for me in some ways.

The phrase 'for some way' is incorrect. Use the preposition 'in' with the plural 'ways' to mean 'in certain respects'. Change 'for some way' to 'in some ways' for natural English.

× No I don't. I only use my desktop or laptop when I have assignments that I need to do on that gadget.

✓ No, I don't. I only use my desktop or laptop when I have assignments that I need to do on those devices.

The pronoun 'that' is singular and doesn't agree with 'desktop or laptop' which is plural/compound; also 'gadget' is better plural 'devices'. Use 'those devices' for agreement and natural phrasing.

× But on everyday life I use my phone and my iPad.

✓ But in everyday life I use my phone and my iPad.

Use the preposition 'in' with the phrase 'everyday life' (not 'on'). This is a fixed expression: 'in everyday life' meaning in normal daily situations.

× I learned how to type when I was in 7th grade because it's. It's needed to use a laptop for, uh, specific subject at that time.

✓ I learned how to type when I was in 7th grade because it was necessary to use a laptop for a specific subject at that time.

The original has fragmented and incorrect tense/word choice: 'it's. It's needed' is ungrammatical. Use past tense 'was necessary' to match 'learned' and 'at that time'. Also use 'a specific subject' (add article) and remove filler 'uh'.

× I improve my typing by practicing but I don't do that anymore.

✓ I improved my typing by practicing, but I don't do that anymore.

The speaker refers to a past routine of improving typing, so 'improve' should be past 'improved' to match 'I don't do that anymore' (present result of past action). Alternatively, 'I improve my typing by practicing' could be acceptable for a present habit, but contrast with 'don't do that anymore' requires past tense.

× Back then I used to search up tips on YouTube and there's a pattern on how to be fast on typing.

✓ Back then I used to look up tips on YouTube and there was a pattern for how to type quickly.

Use 'look up' instead of 'search up' (more natural), and change 'there's' to past 'there was' to match 'Back then'. Use 'for how to type quickly' rather than 'on typing' and prefer adverb 'quickly' instead of adjective 'fast' before verb.

× So basically that's just it.

✓ So basically, that's it.

The phrase 'that's just it' is informal and slightly redundant. 'That's it' is clearer. Add a comma after 'basically' for natural speech punctuation; overall this is stylistic rather than strict grammar, but improves clarity.
