Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise, avoid filler words and hesitations, and use a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific reasons. Replace informal contractions and vague phrases with precise language.

Ejemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting. I use computers and smartphones constantly for work and communication, so typing is faster and more convenient for me, and my handwriting has become rusty as a result.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct statement, reduce repetition, and organise supporting details with linking words. Use clearer phrasing when contrasting devices.

Ejemplo: I type on a laptop every day because I work remotely. However, I sometimes use my desktop at home when I need a larger screen for detailed tasks.

Sugerencia: Give a concise answer with correct grammar and fewer hesitations. Use past tense consistently and give a brief reason or context to support the time you learned.

Ejemplo: I learned to type when I was about five years old. My family had a computer at home and I started practising by playing simple games that required typing.

Sugerencia: Give a structured response: state the main method, then add specific examples and link them with connective words. Avoid vague phrasing and correct grammar errors.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing mainly by practising every day. For example, as a lawyer I draft contracts and prepare documents regularly, which gives me consistent practice and has significantly improved my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer typing all day 'cause, uh, I use.

✓ I prefer typing all day because I use it a lot.

The original sentence ends abruptly and misuses 'use' without an object; the verb needs an object and 'typing' is fine as a present participle. Add 'it' as the object and replace colloquial 'cause' with 'because' for clarity. Suggestion: always include the object for transitive verbs and complete the clause.

× I mostly use computers and phones, so I start to almost forgetting how to handwrite and my handwriting's become rusty, so.

✓ I mostly use computers and phones, so I am almost forgetting how to handwrite and my handwriting has become rusty.

The clause 'I start to almost forgetting' mixes 'start to' with a gerund incorrectly. Use 'am almost forgetting' to express an ongoing present change, and use present perfect 'has become' for a change that has occurred. Suggestion: use 'am/are/is + -ing' for ongoing actions and present perfect for resulting states.

× Yes, I type on my keyboard every day.

✓ Yes, I type on a keyboard every day.

The original is grammatical but ambiguous; 'my keyboard' implies a specific device which is acceptable, however 'a keyboard' is more natural when answering generalized questions. This is a stylistic correction rather than a strict grammatical error. Suggestion: use indefinite article for general habits.

× I usually use my laptop for work and I work remotely so I use it very very often and messages and sometimes you say desk desktop when I am at home because it has a bigger screen.

✓ I usually use my laptop for work because I work remotely, so I use it very often. I also use a desktop at home sometimes because it has a bigger screen.

The original sentence has run-on structure and unclear pronoun references ('it' and 'you say desk desktop'). Break into two sentences, clarify 'desktop' usage, and ensure pronouns refer clearly to antecedents. Suggestion: split long ideas into shorter sentences and use correct nouns for clarity.

× When I was five years old, uh, approximately because, uh, we have a computer and my brother have a computer, so I start to trying to, uh, type on the keyboard and playing a game there.

✓ When I was about five years old, we had a computer and my brother had a computer, so I started trying to type on the keyboard and play games there.

The original mixes past and present ('we have', 'my brother have', 'I start to trying'). Use simple past for past events: 'had' and 'started'. 'Start to trying' is incorrect; use 'started trying' or 'began to try'. Also 'playing a game' should be parallel: 'try to type and play games'. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense and use correct verb forms ('started trying' or 'began to').

× I just type on daily basis, so it's improving it.

✓ I just type on a daily basis, so it is improving.

Missing article 'a' before 'daily basis' and awkward 'it's improving it' with an unnecessary 'it'. Use 'it is improving' to refer to typing skills. Suggestion: include articles and avoid redundant pronouns.

× Anyway, because I'm a lawyer, so I have to, uh, type a lot of, uh, documents.

✓ Anyway, because I'm a lawyer, I have to type a lot of documents.

Combining 'because' and 'so' is redundant; remove 'so'. Also remove hesitation words for clarity. Article use 'a lot of documents' is fine. Suggestion: avoid redundant conjunctions and hesitations.

× And so preparing to documents, drafting contracts, it's uh, really helpful.

✓ Preparing documents and drafting contracts is really helpful.

'Preparing to documents' is incorrect; use 'preparing documents'. Also combine activities into a noun phrase and use singular verb 'is' for the combined activity. Suggestion: use correct prepositions (or none) with verbs like 'prepare' and match verb number to the subject.

× Uh, it's really impact on your right, uh, typing skills.

✓ It really impacts your typing skills.

The phrase 'it's really impact on your right typing skills' is ungrammatical: 'impact' should be a verb 'impacts', not a noun with 'it's'. Remove extraneous words 'right' and 'uh'. Suggestion: use 'impacts' or 'has a positive impact on' followed by the object.
