Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid hesitation words (uh, um). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason and one brief example. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to join ideas, and keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I prefer typing because it is much faster than handwriting. For example, when I have a tight schedule I type notes on my laptop so I can finish tasks quickly and edit them easily.

Suggestion: Give a direct short answer first (yes/no or statement), then provide a clear reason and one short specific detail. Reduce repetition and avoid filler sounds. Use a linking phrase such as "because" or "so".

Example: I don't type every day because my job in a kitchen rarely requires it. However, when I do type I use my laptop because it is portable and convenient for home and travel.

Suggestion: Start with a clear time reference (e.g., "I learned to type at school"). Avoid grammatical errors (subject-verb agreement) and unclear phrasing. Use one linking word to connect past learning with current practice and give a concise example of how you improved recently.

Example: I learned to type at school because computer classes were compulsory. Since moving to Canada I have improved my typing by preparing presentations for work, which required regular practice.

Suggestion: Answer directly and give specific methods you use to improve (online courses, timed practice, touch-typing exercises). Avoid vague general statements and reduce fillers. Use linking words like "for example" to introduce concrete activities and keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I improve my typing by using online typing programs and daily timed practice tests to increase speed and accuracy. For example, I spend 15 minutes each morning on a typing website and practice writing short business emails to apply the skill.

× Undoubtedly, uh typing is a a faster way of uh typing anything as compared to a handwriting.

✓ Undoubtedly, typing is a faster way of writing anything compared to handwriting.

The sentence contains article errors and redundant words. 'a a' is duplicated and unnecessary. 'a handwriting' is incorrect; 'handwriting' is an uncountable noun here so no article is needed. Also 'typing anything' and 'writing anything' is clearer than 'typing anything as compared to a handwriting.' Suggestion: remove duplicate words and use the correct article or no article with uncountable nouns.

× So mostly whenever I have a hectic or busy schedule at that time, I mostly use a typing skill instead of handwriting, which helps me to save my time and I can write everything else fast.

✓ So whenever I have a hectic or busy schedule, I usually use typing instead of handwriting, which helps me save time and write everything quickly.

The sentence misuses noun forms and adverbs. 'a typing skill' is awkward; use the gerund 'typing'. 'at that time' is redundant with 'whenever'; use one. 'save my time' should be 'save time' (no possessive). 'write everything else fast' is informal; use 'write everything quickly.' Suggestions: prefer gerund forms for activities and use standard adverb placement.

× Well, uh, as I'm working as a cooking location, so I don't have to type, uh, every day, mostly whenever I have to type anything at that time.

✓ Well, I work at a cooking location, so I don't have to type every day; only when I need to type something.

The phrase 'working as a cooking location' is incorrect: use 'work at' with a place or 'work as' with a role. 'At that time' is unnecessary. Also combine clauses to avoid double connectors 'so' and 'mostly whenever.' Suggestion: use correct prepositions ('work at') and simplify clause structure.

× I most I have a laptop, so I use that keyboard for typing instead of a desktop.

✓ I mostly have a laptop, so I use its keyboard for typing instead of a desktop keyboard.

The sentence has a pronoun and word order problem. 'I most I have' is incorrect; 'mostly' should modify 'have.' 'That keyboard' is ambiguous; use 'its keyboard' to refer to the laptop or explicitly say 'laptop keyboard.' Suggestion: place adverbs correctly and use clear possessive pronouns.

× Uh, actually when I was studying in my academic institution at that time, computer was a compulsory subject for every student.

✓ When I was studying at my academic institution, computer was a compulsory subject for every student.

The phrase 'at that time' is redundant with 'when I was studying.' Also article use before 'computer' might be acceptable, but better is 'computer was a compulsory subject' or 'computers were a compulsory subject.' If referring to the subject in general, use 'computer was' or 'computers were.' Suggestion: avoid redundant time phrases and ensure subject-verb agreement with countable nouns.

× At that time they was teaching us a writing and other computer skills apart from it.

✓ At that time they were teaching us writing and other computer skills.

'They was' is incorrect; correct subject-verb agreement is 'they were.' 'a writing' is wrong; 'writing' as a skill is uncountable and needs no article. 'Apart from it' is unnecessary and vague. Suggestion: use correct verb forms for plural subjects and omit incorrect articles.

× And now as I am in Canada, so I have to make a different presentation so my typing skill get uh in better.

✓ And now that I am in Canada, I have to make different presentations, so my typing skills have gotten better.

Grammar errors: 'so I have to make a different presentation' is awkward—use plural if general. 'my typing skill get in better' is wrong tense and form. Use present perfect 'have gotten' (or 'have improved') for change over time and plural 'skills.' Also remove redundant 'so' and use 'now that' for cause. Suggestion: use appropriate tense for improvement (present perfect) and correct noun number.

× Well, as a businessman, it is a compulsory for everyone to improve the typing because the typing player, uh, integral part of uh, in a business.

✓ Well, as a businessman, it is compulsory for everyone to improve their typing because typing is an integral part of a business.

The sentence misuses articles and adjectives: 'it is a compulsory' should be 'it is compulsory' (no article). 'the typing player' is incorrect; should be 'typing is an integral part.' 'of uh, in a business' mixes prepositions; use 'of a business' or 'in business.' Also 'everyone' requires 'their' for possessive. Suggestion: remove unnecessary articles and choose correct noun phrases.

× So usually people can type a different things like such as essays and uh, uh, other things in their laptop as a practice test.

✓ So usually people can type different things, such as essays and other materials, on their laptops for practice.

Preposition errors: use 'on' with 'laptop' not 'in.' 'a different things' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'different things.' 'such as' already introduces examples; remove redundancy. 'as a practice test' is awkward; use 'for practice.' Suggestion: use correct prepositions and match articles with noun number.
