Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: give a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., "because" used many times) and filler phrases. Correct small grammar issues (e.g., "a little distracted for me" → "a bit distracting for me").

Ejemplo: I prefer handwriting to typing because typing can be distracting due to notifications. For example, messages or pop-ups often interrupt my focus, so writing by hand helps me concentrate and remember information better.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct sentence, reduce fillers ("you know, uh"), and correct grammar ("require" → "requires"). Add one specific detail to support your reason and use a linking word for clarity.

Ejemplo: I usually type on a laptop because my job requires a lot of mobility. For instance, I often travel between meetings and teaching sites, so carrying a laptop is far more convenient than using a desktop.

Sugerencia: Give a clear past-time reference and maintain correct verb forms ("were" → "was"). Remove filler words and combine related ideas with a linking phrase. Provide one specific detail about what you learned or how you practiced.

Ejemplo: I learned to type when I was in secondary school because we had an Information Technology class that taught keyboard skills. In that course we practiced touch-typing and did timed exercises to improve speed and accuracy.

Sugerencia: Use a topic sentence and then give specific methods with linking words (e.g., "for example"). Fix grammar ("practice make perfect" → "practice makes perfect") and avoid repetition. Mention concrete activities or tools you use to improve.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice because practice makes perfect. For example, I use online typing tests to track my speed and accuracy and practice daily for 15–20 minutes, which has steadily increased my speed.

× I prefer handwriting to typing because typing is a little distracted for me because there's a lot of notification.

✓ I prefer handwriting to typing because typing is a little distracting for me because there are a lot of notifications.

The error involves word choice and quantifier agreement. 'Distracted' is an adjective describing a person; the correct adjective describing the activity is 'distracting'. Also 'a lot of notification' is count noun misuse; 'notification' should be plural 'notifications' and the verb must agree with the plural subject ('there are'). Suggestion: use 'a lot of notifications' and 'distracting'.

× Notifications may come up.

✓ Notifications may pop up.

The sentence is grammatical but 'come up' is less natural in this context. 'Pop up' is the common collocation for alerts/notifications. Suggestion: prefer natural collocations for clarity.

× Why? If I write, I think it's easier for me to concentrate and remember the information.

✓ If I write, I think it's easier for me to concentrate and to remember the information.

The original sentence is understandable, but parallel structure is improved by using 'to concentrate and to remember' or at least 'to concentrate and remember'. The issue identified is pronoun/structure clarity: keeping parallel infinitives improves grammatical correctness and fluency.

× I usually type on a laptop keyboard because, you know, uh, my job require a lot of mobility so I have to carry my laptop to a lot of places, while using the desktop is much less convenient.

✓ I usually type on a laptop keyboard because, you know, uh, my job requires a lot of mobility so I have to carry my laptop to many places, while using a desktop is much less convenient.

Subject-verb agreement error: 'job' is singular so the verb must be 'requires' (third person singular). Also 'a lot of places' is acceptable but 'many places' is more natural here; 'using the desktop' implies a specific desktop, better as 'using a desktop'. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with singular subject and choose appropriate articles ('a desktop').

× I learned it while I were in my secondary school because we have a subject called Information Technology and uh, we are trained and taught to type on the keyboard during that time.

✓ I learned it while I was in secondary school because we had a subject called Information Technology and we were trained to type on the keyboard at that time.

Multiple tense and agreement errors: 'were' should be 'was' for first person singular past ('I was'). The time frame is past, so present tense 'have' and 'are trained' should be past 'had' and 'were trained'. 'During that time' is less natural than 'at that time'. Suggestion: keep past events consistently in past tense.

× I think practice make perfect, you know, there, there are no substitution for that.

✓ I think practice makes perfect, you know, there is no substitute for that.

Subject-verb agreement: 'practice' is treated as singular here, so 'makes' is required. 'No substitution' is wrong collocation and count; the correct idiom is 'no substitute'. Also 'there is' must match singular 'no substitute'. Suggestion: learn common idioms and ensure verb agrees with the subject.

× Umm, At first the speed is very very slow for me, but as I have to type more often, I get better day by day.

✓ At first my speed was very, very slow, but as I had to type more often, I got better day by day.

Tense inconsistency: the speaker refers to an earlier period, so past tense ('was', 'had to', 'got') is appropriate. Also 'the speed is very very slow for me' is awkward; 'my speed was very, very slow' is clearer. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense when describing past improvements.
