Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question (e.g.,“I prefer handwriting”). Then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word and a brief example. Avoid redundant phrases and keep to under five sentences.

Example: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and helps me remember things better. For example, when I write in my small journal each night, I can recall my thoughts more vividly. Moreover, handwriting lets me add sketches and annotations, which I find useful for reflection.

Suggestion: Answer directly and tighten wording. Start with a topic sentence (“I use my laptop every day”) then give one clear reason and one specific detail. Remove repetition and incorrect phrases.

Example: I use my laptop keyboard every day. Because I complete school assignments at home and watch YouTube tutorials for study, I rely on my laptop for most tasks.

Suggestion: Give a clear time frame in one sentence, then briefly support with a detail. Avoid hesitations like “I wouldn't know exactly” and long, repeating clauses.

Example: I started learning to type in elementary school when we had a computer class. In that class I practiced touch-typing and simple exercises, which helped me learn proper finger placement.

Suggestion: Begin with a concise topic sentence about your main strategy, then give one or two specific methods using linking words. Avoid awkward phrasing and repetition like “finding making” and unnecessary qualifiers.

Example: I improve my typing mainly by practicing at a comfortable, slower pace to reduce errors. Additionally, I use online typing drills to build speed and enable autocorrect when accuracy is important.

× I find this a very interesting question because I love writing down on my notebook and my notes.

✓ I find this a very interesting question because I love writing in my notebook and in my notes.

Using 'writing down on' is incorrect collocation. We say 'writing in' a notebook or 'writing down' something. Combine properly: 'writing in my notebook' or 'writing things down in my notes.' Use 'in' for the container (notebook) and 'down' only with an object (write something down).

× I would often keep a small journal on myself so that I can write my thoughts because I feel like handwriting is so much better since it's very personal and it gives you a sense of belonging.

✓ I often keep a small journal with me so that I can write my thoughts because I feel handwriting is much better since it is very personal and gives you a sense of belonging.

'Keep a journal on myself' is incorrect use of pronoun/prepositional phrase. Use 'with me' to indicate possession. Also change 'I would often' to 'I often' for habitual present and 'it's' to 'it is' optionally. Removed redundant 'it' before 'gives'.

× I type on my laptop keyboard every day because other than the fact that I have schoolwork to do, I do a lot of assign assignments at home and I also have practices and I would watch YouTube videos to help me study.

✓ I type on my laptop keyboard every day because, apart from schoolwork, I do a lot of assigned assignments at home, I also have practice sessions, and I watch YouTube videos to help me study.

Several problems: 'other than the fact that' is wordy and 'apart from' is clearer. 'Assign assignments' is incorrect; use 'assigned assignments' or better 'assignments' or 'assigned work.' 'Practices' as plural noun is awkward; use 'practice sessions' or 'practice.' 'I would watch' suggests habitual past; for current habit use 'I watch.' Ensure consistent present tense for habitual actions.

× I wouldn't know exactly when I knew how to type, but I am aware that when I was younger in elementary school I had a class, A sort of typing class, where I would sit on the computer and start typing on the keyboard.

✓ I do not know exactly when I learned how to type, but I remember that when I was younger in elementary school I had a typing class where I sat at the computer and started typing on the keyboard.

'I wouldn't know' is incorrect modal use here; use simple present 'I do not know' for current lack of knowledge. 'When I knew how to type' mixes tenses; use past 'learned.' 'A sort of typing class' is informal and repetitive; 'a typing class' suffices. 'Sit on the computer' is incorrect preposition; use 'sit at the computer.' 'Would sit' implies habitual past acceptable but simpler 'sat' fits narrative past.

× So I guess that is when I started to learn how to type on a keyboard properly.

✓ So I guess that is when I started learning to type properly on a keyboard.

'Started to learn' is acceptable but 'started learning' is more natural. 'How to type on a keyboard properly' is wordy; 'learning to type properly on a keyboard' is clearer and maintains correct verb forms.

× I would improve my typing by typing slower than most people do because I would find a pace that's comfortable for me to avoid finding making spelling mistakes, and I would also turn on my auto correct if I am writing something that's important to make sure that it's correct.

✓ I improve my typing by typing more slowly than most people because I try to find a pace that is comfortable for me to avoid making spelling mistakes, and I also turn on my autocorrect when I am writing something important to make sure it is correct.

Use 'more slowly' (adverb) not 'slower' when modifying 'typing' (an action). 'I would find' and 'I would also turn on' suggest conditional/habit confusion; use simple present for habitual actions: 'I try' and 'I also turn on.' 'Avoid finding making' is ungrammatical; use 'avoid making.' 'Auto correct' should be 'autocorrect' as one word. Use 'when' not 'if' for habitual condition and keep tense consistent.
