Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and directly state your preference first, then give one or two clear reasons with specific examples. Use correct verb forms and avoid repetition. Keep to 2–4 sentences and use linking words like 'because' or 'however'.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwritten notes are often messy and full of mistakes, so they are hard to read. However, I still enjoy handwriting in my mother tongue, Chinese, because it feels personal and artistic.

Suggestion: Answer directly whether you use a desktop or laptop, then give a reason and a short detail (e.g., apps you use). Fix grammar (use 'on my desktop' not 'in') and avoid filler phrases. Limit to 2–3 sentences and use linking words like 'because' or 'so'.

Example: I usually type on my desktop because I don't own a laptop at the moment. I plan to buy a laptop soon since it would be more convenient and allow me to use apps like Grammarly to correct my mistakes.

Suggestion: Start with a clear time reference (e.g., 'I learned to type when...'), then explain briefly how you learned and mention progress. Use correct tense and clearer linking words like 'because' and 'so'. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I learned to type when I was a child by watching my father use a computer for his job. At first I was slow, but I have improved over time and now I can type much faster than before.

Suggestion: Give a clear method (name specific apps or websites) and explain briefly how they help you (practice, feedback). Remove repetition and unclear references. Use linking words like 'for example' and keep to 2–3 concise sentences.

Example: I improve my typing by using online practice websites and mobile apps, such as TypingClub and Keybr. For example, these platforms provide structured lessons and instant feedback, which helped me increase my speed and accuracy.

× I do love typing because I make a lot of mistake during writing from my handwriting.

✓ I do love typing because I make a lot of mistakes when writing by hand.

The noun 'mistake' should be plural here because 'a lot of' requires a plural countable noun. Also 'during writing from my handwriting' is awkward; use 'when writing by hand' for clarity. Suggestion: use plural nouns with quantifiers (a lot of mistakes) and prefer 'writing by hand' for handwriting action.

× I'm not really good at writing or handwriting.

✓ I'm not very good at writing or handwriting.

'Really' is not incorrect but 'very' is more natural in this context to modify 'good'. This is a preference/style adjustment rather than a strict grammar rule. Suggestion: use 'very good' for ability descriptions.

× Even my handwriting is not good enough, so it's really hard to read it.

✓ My handwriting is not good enough, so it is really hard to read.

The original 'Even my handwriting...' is redundant with the following clause and the pronoun reference 'it' is acceptable but word order and redundancy can be improved. Suggestion: simplify to 'My handwriting is not good enough, so it is really hard to read.' for clarity.

× But in my mother language, I found handwriting is fascinating for me.

✓ But in my mother language, I find handwriting fascinating.

Use present tense 'find' to match the general statement and remove 'is' and 'for me' to avoid redundancy. No plural error per se but corrected to natural expression. Suggestion: use concise 'I find X fascinating' for opinions.

× I usually write in my desktop.

✓ I usually use my desktop to type.

We don't 'write in' a desktop; we 'use' a desktop or 'type on' a desktop. Also 'desktop' typically takes 'on' (on my desktop computer) or 'use my desktop'. Suggestion: say 'use my desktop' or 'type on my desktop computer.'

× I don't have a laptop nowadays so I found it a bit difficult to write most of the time and I'm planning to buy a laptop, it's quite convenient and they can like correct my mistake by using some apps such as Grammarly.

✓ I don't have a laptop at the moment, so I find it difficult to write most of the time. I'm planning to buy one because it is quite convenient and can help correct my mistakes using apps such as Grammarly.

Multiple problems: tense inconsistency ('found' should be 'find'), run-on sentence, informal fillers ('like'), and plural 'mistake' should be 'mistakes'. Also 'they can...correct' is unclear; 'it can help correct' refers to a laptop. Suggestion: split into sentences, keep tense consistent, remove fillers, and match pronouns to nouns.

× I guess the name of that. App and.

✓ I can’t remember the name of the app.

Fragmented sentence with punctuation errors. Correct to a complete sentence expressing inability to recall. Suggestion: use full sentence 'I can't remember the name of the app.'

× Since I was a child, I used to see my father, he uses a computer because his job acquired using a computer.

✓ Since I was a child, I used to see my father using a computer because his job required it.

The original is a comma splice ('..., he uses...') and wrong verb form 'acquired' should be 'required'. Also pronoun 'it' refers to 'a computer'. Suggestion: avoid comma splices and choose correct past tense verb 'required' for the job.

× But during that time I couldn't find like fast as nowadays.

✓ But at that time he wasn't as fast as people are nowadays.

The original mixes perspectives and uses 'couldn't find like fast' which is ungrammatical. Clarify subject (father or typing speed) and use comparative structure 'wasn't as fast as'. Suggestion: state clearly who/what was slower and use 'as ... as' for comparisons.

× So in my perspective I'm not as good as I would like it to be.

✓ So in my perspective I'm not as good as I would like to be.

'I would like it to be' contains an unnecessary pronoun 'it'. The correct idiom is 'I would like to be'. Suggestion: omit 'it' in this construction.

× I would say by using some apps, I would say by using some apps and website, I found it on on Tiktok and read notes and they did download these applications and they did check out the website and they found it incredibly useful and they can feel it's badly.

✓ I would say I improve by using some apps and websites. I found them on TikTok and read notes. People downloaded these applications and checked out the websites, and they found them incredibly useful.

The original is a long, repetitive run-on with inconsistent pronouns ('they' ambiguous), tense issues ('did download'), and incorrect adverb 'badly'. Break into clear sentences, keep tense consistent, and match pronouns to their referents. Suggestion: use concise statements and consistent subjects and verbs.

× I mean, the development, I'm really into these apps and.

✓ I mean, they have helped me develop my skills; I'm really into these apps.

Fragment and unclear noun 'the development' with dangling conjunction. Provide a complete sentence and use 'develop my skills' rather than vague 'the development.' Suggestion: complete the thought and use clear noun phrases.
