Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make your answer more grammatically natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific supporting reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition and fix collocations (e.g., say "prefer typing to handwriting").

Ejemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster and more reliable. For example, typed documents are easy to edit and store digitally, whereas handwritten notes can smudge and get lost. Therefore, typing saves me time and helps me keep better records.

Sugerencia: Clarify and correct grammar and word choice, and limit to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words to contrast ideas (e.g., "however"). Explain briefly why desktop is faster with a specific reason.

Ejemplo: I type on a desktop keyboard every day because my company provides a desktop instead of a laptop. However, I find the desktop more comfortable and faster for long typing sessions because the full-size keyboard and ergonomic setup reduce errors.

Sugerencia: Make sentences grammatically correct and avoid repetition. Use linking words (e.g., "before"/"so") properly and be concise. Explain briefly how learning improved your typing with one concrete effect.

Ejemplo: I learned to touch-type in college. Before that I used the two-finger method, which was slow and error-prone, so I took a typing course and improved my speed and accuracy significantly.

Sugerencia: Organize into a short cohesive answer: topic sentence + two or three specific methods with brief explanations. Use correct phrases (e.g., "F and J" rather than "F&L") and avoid list format in speech. Give measurable outcomes if possible.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing through regular practice and specific techniques. For example, I memorize key positions and use the F and J home keys to orient my fingers, and I practice typing without looking at the keyboard to build muscle memory, which has increased my speed and reduced errors.

× I prefer typing than handwriting as typing is much faster than handwriting which saves me a lot of time and handwriting sometimes blur the words and hand copies are hard to keep, so typing is much more durable and easy to keep.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting, as typing is much faster and saves me a lot of time. Handwriting sometimes makes the words blur and handwritten copies are hard to keep, so typing is much more durable and easier to store.

Use 'prefer ... to ...' not 'prefer ... than'. Also split the long sentence for clarity. 'Handwriting sometimes blur the words' has subject-verb agreement and verb form issues: use 'handwriting sometimes makes the words blur' or better 'makes the words blurry', and 'hand copies' is better as 'handwritten copies'. Use 'easier to store' rather than 'easy to keep' for natural phrasing.

× My company doesn't equip me with a laptop but give me APC so I have to type on the desktop every day.

✓ My company doesn't provide me with a laptop but gave me a PC, so I have to type on the desktop every day.

Use 'provide someone with something' rather than 'equip me with' in this context. Verb tense consistency: 'doesn't ... but give' is incorrect; use 'doesn't provide ... but gave' or keep present: 'doesn't provide me with a laptop but gives me a PC'. 'APC' is likely a typo for 'PC' (personal computer). Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct noun.

× But I also find it's much more convenient to use a desk to type on a desktop than to laptop because it's faster.

✓ But I also find it's much more convenient to use a desktop at a desk than to use a laptop, because it's faster.

Preposition and word order: 'use a desk to type on a desktop' is awkward. Better 'use a desktop at a desk' or 'type on a desktop at a desk'. Also parallel structure requires 'than to use a laptop'. Ensure clarity and correct comparative phrasing.

× I learned to type on the keyboard when I was in college.

✓ I learned to type on the keyboard when I was in college.

This sentence is grammatically correct. The past tense 'learned' fits the time reference 'when I was in college', so no change is needed.

× Before that I typed things with two fingers which was really really slow and inefficient.

✓ Before that, I typed with two fingers, which was really slow and inefficient.

Remove redundant 'things' and reduce repetition of 'really'. Add a comma before the relative clause 'which was...'. This improves conciseness and flow.

× So I decided to learn a real typing blind typing in college and which helps me a lot.

✓ So I decided to learn real touch typing in college, which helped me a lot.

Phrase 'a real typing blind typing' is ungrammatical. Use 'real touch typing' (term for typing without looking). Also maintain past tense 'helped' to match 'decided' and 'learned'. Remove extraneous 'and which' and use a comma before 'which'.

× 1st, I try to remember all the location of characters on the keyboard.

✓ First, I try to remember the locations of all the characters on the keyboard.

Pluralize 'location' to 'locations' to match 'all the characters'. Word order: 'locations of all the characters' is more natural. Also write 'First' instead of '1st' in speech context.

× Second, I learn to use F&L as a starting point to find other characters.

✓ Second, I learned to use the F and J keys as starting points to find other characters.

Use 'learned' for past habit to match earlier past context, or 'I learn' is present but the rest uses past. Also 'F&L' is likely 'F and J' (home keys) and should be plural 'keys' and 'starting points'. Use clearer wording.

× Third, I try to type without looking at the keyboard, which helps me learn how to type.

✓ Third, I try to type without looking at the keyboard, which helps me improve my typing.

Sentence is mostly correct. Small improvement: 'helps me learn how to type' is redundant if you already type; 'helps me improve my typing' is clearer. 'Try to type without looking' correctly uses verb+to infinitive and gerund forms.
