Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clearer, use correct tenses and a concise topic sentence. Start with a direct answer (e.g. "I prefer handwriting"), then give one or two specific reasons with correct grammar and linking words. Avoid repetition and unnecessary words.

Example: I prefer handwriting my notes because writing helps me remember information better. For example, when I copy key points from a textbook, I process them more carefully, which makes it easier to recall details later.

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer and correct vocabulary (e.g. 'desktop' not 'dashboard') and explain with a specific reason. Use a linking phrase to connect reason to preference.

Example: I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I don't use a desktop. Since I move between home and university, a laptop is more portable and convenient for studying and working.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a concise time statement, then add one or two specific details about where and how you learned. Use past tense consistently and avoid vague phrases like 'quite meaningful' without explanation.

Example: I learned to type when I was 13 in a middle school computer class. During the lessons we practiced basic typing rules and simple exercises, which helped me become comfortable using a keyboard.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence about your main practice method, then add specific activities and link them with connectors. Fix grammar (e.g. 'use computers', 'a lot of time') and be specific about what you do to improve (practice tests, typing software, timed exercises).

Example: I improve my typing mainly by practicing regularly on typing websites and chatting online. For example, I use a typing tutor to do daily speed drills and I also type messages and research notes, which increases both my speed and accuracy.

× I like to write the notes when I was study because it's easier.

✓ I liked to write notes when I was studying because it was easier.

The speaker refers to a past time ('when I was...') but uses present tense 'like' and 'study'. Use past tense 'liked' and the past continuous/gerund 'studying'. Also change 'the notes' to 'notes' for natural usage. Suggestion: use consistent past tense when talking about past habits.

× It's easier for me to remember the points from the books and it can make me more concerned.

✓ It's easier for me to remember points from books and it makes me more focused.

The clause uses present tense but contains awkward modal 'can make me more concerned' which is unidiomatic. 'Concerned' means worried; likely intended 'focused' or 'concentrated'. Use simple present 'it makes me' for general truth. Remove unnecessary articles: 'points from the books' -> 'points from books'.

× I prefer the laptop keyboard because I never use a dashboard and it is more capable of taking out for working or study.

✓ I prefer a laptop keyboard because I never use a desktop and it is easier to take out for work or study.

Several issues: 'dashboard' is incorrect word; likely 'desktop'. Use 'a laptop keyboard' or 'the laptop' depending on context. 'More capable of taking out' is ungrammatical; use 'easier to take out'. Use noun 'work' not 'working' here. This matches third person and word choice corrections.

× When I was 13 in primary middle school and I first learned it at the computer class.

✓ When I was 13, in middle school, I first learned it in computer class.

Tense is past and should be simple past 'learned' which is present. The original had extra conjunction 'and' making sentence awkward (sentence structure error but corrected under past tense). Use 'in computer class' (no article) and reorder for clarity. Suggestion: avoid redundant terms like 'primary middle school'—use 'middle school.'

× It's my first time to use the keyboard and computer.

✓ It was my first time using a keyboard and a computer.

When referring to a past experience, use past reference 'was' and gerund 'using' rather than 'to use'. Also add articles 'a keyboard' and 'a computer' for natural English. Alternatively, 'It was my first time I used a keyboard and computer' but gerund form is preferred.

× Nowadays I often chat with my friends on the computer and I also need to search many information user computers, so it is quite many time I will spend on the typing.

✓ Nowadays I often chat with my friends on the computer and I also need to search for a lot of information using computers, so I spend quite a lot of time typing.

Multiple present-tense and collocation issues: 'search many information' should be 'search for a lot of information' or 'search many pieces of information'; 'user computers' is incorrect — use 'using computers'; 'it is quite many time I will spend on the typing' is ungrammatical — use 'I spend quite a lot of time typing'. Use simple present for habitual activities.
