Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., 'much' and 'more efficient than handwriting' together) and unnecessary phrases like 'I feel too awkward'.

Ejemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting because it's faster and neater. For example, when I take notes or write essays, typing lets me edit and organize ideas quickly, so I use a keyboard most of the time.

Sugerencia: Clarify your main point and avoid contradictory statements. Use one clear sentence to answer, then add a brief reason with a linking word. Remove filler words like 'pretty much' and 'however' used together incorrectly.

Ejemplo: I usually type on a laptop keyboard every day because I use my laptop for study and it's easy to carry. Occasionally I use a desktop at home when I need a larger screen.

Sugerencia: Good structure and specific details. Improve fluency by using smoother linking words and correcting awkward phrases like 'backed by then'. Combine short sentences to sound more natural.

Ejemplo: I learned to type when I was about ten at an elementary school in Beijing. At that time the school had compulsory typing classes, where we practiced both English letters and Chinese input methods.

Sugerencia: Be concise and use clearer vocabulary. Describe a specific practice method and use linking words to show result. Avoid unclear phrases like 'aside presses hard' and 'possession of different letters'.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing through daily touch-typing practice and timed exercises. As a result, the key positions have become automatic, so I can type quickly without looking at the keyboard.

× I prefer typing much over handwriting because typing is much more efficient than handwriting, and furthermore, my handwriting is not very good.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because typing is much more efficient, and my handwriting is not very good.

The phrase 'prefer much over' is incorrect; 'prefer A to B' is the correct structure (Grammar problem type ID: 20). 'Much' is redundant with 'much more efficient' and interrupts flow, so remove it. Also 'and furthermore' is wordy; use 'and' or 'furthermore' alone. Suggestion: use 'prefer A to B' and avoid redundant adverbs. Grammar problem type ID:20

× I feel too awkward to show my handwriting to other people, so I'd rather type.

✓ I feel too awkward showing my handwriting to other people, so I'd rather type.

The verb pattern after 'feel awkward' is more natural with the -ing form (verb + -ing) rather than 'to' plus verb (Grammar problem type ID:8). Change 'to show' to 'showing' to match common English collocation and make the sentence more fluent. Grammar problem type ID:8

× Yes, I pretty much type on the laptop keyboard every day, but however I really type on a desktop keyboard because I use laptop very frequently as laptops are very easy to carry around compared to desktop computers.

✓ I usually type on a laptop keyboard every day, but I also sometimes type on a desktop keyboard; I use a laptop most of the time because laptops are easier to carry than desktop computers.

Starting with 'Yes' is unnecessary because the question asked which type; 'but however' is redundant (both are conjunctions) and creates incorrect emphasis (Grammar problem type ID:16). 'I pretty much' is informal; use 'usually'. 'I really type on a desktop' conflicts with 'use laptop very frequently' — clarify to say 'I also sometimes type on a desktop' or reverse. Also use comparative 'easier' rather than 'very easy' (Grammar problem type ID:25 for comparison, and ID:26 sentence structure). Suggestions: avoid 'but however', choose one conjunction, ensure consistency in meaning, and use correct comparative form 'easier'. Grammar problem type ID:16

× I learned how to type on a keyboard while I was around 10 years old.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was around 10 years old.

Use 'when' with age expressions rather than 'while' (Grammar problem type ID:5). 'While' suggests an action in progress, but 'when I was 10' indicates the time point. Suggestion: use 'when I was...' for ages. Grammar problem type ID:5

× There were compulsory typing classes backed by then.

✓ There were compulsory typing classes back then.

The phrase 'backed by then' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'back then' meaning 'at that time' (Grammar problem type ID:11 for preposition/phrase use and ID:26 sentence structure). 'Backed' is a different verb and is unnecessary. Suggestion: use the idiomatic time expression 'back then'. Grammar problem type ID:11

× In my school, we learned how to type both English alphabets and Chinese.

✓ At my school, we learned how to type both English letters and Chinese characters.

'In my school' is acceptable but 'at my school' is more natural (preposition use, ID:11). 'English alphabets' is incorrect because 'alphabet' refers to the whole set; use 'letters' (Grammar problem type ID:1). For Chinese, 'characters' is the correct term rather than just 'Chinese'. Suggestion: use 'letters' and 'characters' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:1

× I improve my typing by practicing hard aside presses hard.

✓ I improved my typing by practicing hard and pressing the keys a lot.

The original mixes tenses and has unclear phrase 'aside presses hard'. Use past or present consistently depending on context; here past is better if speaking about how improvement happened (Grammar problem type ID:5). Also clarify 'pressing the keys a lot' for natural collocation (ID:8 for -ing form). Suggestion: choose consistent tense and use clear verbs like 'practicing' and 'pressing'. Grammar problem type ID:5

× The possession of different letters became ingrained in my mind so I don't have to try hard to memorize them each time when I type.

✓ The positions of the different keys became ingrained in my mind, so I don't have to try hard to remember them each time I type.

'Possession of different letters' is incorrect; intended meaning is 'positions' or 'placement' of keys (Grammar problem type ID:26 sentence structure and ID:11 word choice). 'Memorize' is acceptable but 'remember' fits better in this context. Also remove 'each time when' to 'each time I type' to avoid redundancy (Grammar problem type ID:20 adverb placement). Suggestion: use 'positions of the keys' and 'remember'. Grammar problem type ID:26

× It just became an automatic habit.

✓ It has become an automatic habit.

Use present perfect 'has become' to indicate a past change with relevance to the present (Grammar problem type ID:6 present tense issue vs past). 'Became' is simple past and may be acceptable, but 'has become' better fits 'Now it is an automatic habit.' Suggestion: use present perfect when connecting past action to present state.
