Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid fillers and grammatical errors (e.g., “more easier” → “easier”). Use correct verb forms and prepositions (e.g., “easier to type”).

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and more convenient. For example, I can quickly edit and search notes on my phone or laptop, which saves time. Also, typed notes are easier to share with classmates, so collaborating becomes simpler.

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer then support with two concise reasons using linking words. Correct common errors (everyday → every day; “more easy”/“more easier” → “easier”; word order and punctuation).

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is portable and lightweight. Therefore, I can work from different places, such as cafés or libraries, which makes it very practical for my daily routine.

Suggestion: Provide a clear timeline and specific details in two or three sentences. Avoid repetition and incorrect tenses. Use linking words like “then” or “after that” to show sequence. Be precise about what changed (e.g., using computers for typing instead of handwritten work).

Example: I learned to type in fifth grade at school. At that time, our classes shifted from writing longhand to using computers, so we were taught basic typing skills, and I have continued using those skills ever since.

Suggestion: Answer directly and give specific examples of how each tool helps. Use formal phrasing rather than casual fillers (e.g., ‘wanna’, ‘uh’). Mention concrete actions (practice, drills, feedback) and outcomes for clarity.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing on online typing sites and using tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT. For instance, Grammarly corrects my grammar and punctuation, while ChatGPT helps me rephrase sentences and organize my ideas, which improves both my speed and accuracy.

× 'Typing is when we use like our computers, our smart phones, or any new technology we can use to grab information.'

✓ 'Typing is when we use our computers, our smartphones, or any new technology to access information.'

'Like' is used informally and unnecessary here; 'smart phones' should be one word 'smartphones'; 'we can use to grab information' is awkward and unidiomatic — use 'to access information' instead. Also remove the second 'use' to avoid redundancy.'

× 'And handwriting is just like the old way we used to catch information while we're listening on where we're like writing, someone else responses and for me it's more easier to typing.'

✓ 'Handwriting is the old way we used to record information while listening to someone, and for me it is easier to type.'

'Catch information' is incorrect collocation — use 'record information'. 'While we're listening on where we're like writing' is ungrammatical; correct to 'while listening to someone'. 'Someone else responses' should be 'someone's responses' or omitted; 'it's more easier to typing' has comparative + 'more' with 'easier' (redundant) and wrong form 'to typing' — correct to 'easier to type'. Overall sentence structure was run-on and needed simplification.'

× 'I use a laptop keyboard everyday, it's more easy for me to carry on to any place with me and I can work from any place at any time, so that's more easier to keep around.'

✓ 'I use a laptop keyboard every day; it's easier for me to carry everywhere and I can work from any place at any time, so it is more convenient to keep.'

'Everyday' is an adjective; the correct adverb form is 'every day'. 'More easy' is nonstandard; use 'easier'. 'Carry on to any place with me' is awkward — use 'carry everywhere' or 'carry with me'. 'That's more easier' again uses redundant 'more' with comparative. 'Keep around' is informal/awkward; 'keep' or 'keep with me' or 'convenient to have' are better choices.'

× 'Today also is lightweight and it's very practical in my daily use.'

✓ 'It is also lightweight and very practical for my daily use.'

'Today also is lightweight' misplaces 'today' and lacks subject — better to say 'It is also lightweight'. 'In my daily use' is more idiomatically 'for my daily use'. Rearrangement fixes clarity and grammar.'

× 'I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in school.'

✓ 'I learned to type on a keyboard when I was at school.'

'In school' is not strictly wrong, but in many dialects 'at school' is more natural for past education context. This is a minor preposition preference (Problem type 11 also applies), but keep as past tense is correct.'

× 'I remember it was in fifth grade.'

✓ 'I remember it was in fifth grade.'

'Fifth grade' is correct for past tense memory; no grammatical correction needed.'

× 'We start changing books from from book.'

✓ 'We started replacing books.'

'We start' mismatches past narrative — should be past 'started'. 'Changing books from from book' is redundant and unclear; 'replacing books' or 'swapping textbooks' is clearer.'

× 'We changed the books from now using technologies.'

✓ 'We changed from using books to using technology.'

'We changed the books from now using technologies' has wrong word order and tense. Reorder to show transition: 'changed from using books to using technology.' Use singular 'technology' as an uncountable concept.'

× 'So we start using computers.'

✓ 'So we started using computers.'

'Start' should be in past 'started' to match narrative past tense.'

× 'We stop writing books.'

✓ 'We stopped writing by hand.'

'Stop' should be past 'stopped' to match context. 'Writing books' implies authorship; likely meant 'writing by hand' or 'writing in notebooks' — clarify to 'writing by hand.'

× 'So now we started writing keywords.'

✓ 'So then we started typing keywords.'

'Now' with 'started' is inconsistent; 'then' fits past sequence. 'Writing keywords' is odd when referring to keyboards — use 'typing keywords.' Also keep past tense.'

× 'So that's for me was a new change and I still apply it until today.'

✓ 'So that was a new change for me, and I still use it today.'

'So that's for me was' mixes present and past; simplify to 'that was a new change for me.' 'Apply it until today' is awkward; use 'I still use it today.' Maintain past narrative with present relevance.'

× 'I use many platforms to improve my writing.'

✓ 'I use many platforms to improve my typing.'

'Improve my writing' is not wrong but context asks about typing; 'typing' is more accurate. This is a lexical choice rather than strict grammar, but improves alignment with topic.'

× 'For example, I use Grammarly or ChatGPT.'

✓ 'For example, I use Grammarly and ChatGPT.'

'Or' suggests exclusivity; when listing tools both used, 'and' is appropriate. This corrects conjunction usage (Problem type 16) and word choice.'

× 'Those new AI tools help me improve my grammar, my typing, and also helps me how to organize the things I wanna, uh, the things I wanna say better.'

✓ 'Those new AI tools help me improve my grammar and my typing, and they also help me organize the things I want to say better.'

'Help' should be followed by base verb forms; maintain parallelism: 'help me improve ... and help me organize ...' Original used 'help' then 'helps' causing subject-verb disagreement. 'Helps me how to organize' is incorrect — use 'help me organize'. Replace colloquial 'wanna' with 'want to' and remove filler. Ensure plural agreement with 'they also help.'
