Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with linking words, avoid filler sounds and repetition. Also use correct tense and articles (e.g., “I prefer handwriting” not “I preferred”).

Ejemplo: I prefer handwriting to typing because I find it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand I focus more and make fewer careless errors. Therefore, I usually write in a notebook rather than type on a computer.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer first, then clarify briefly with clear linking words. Remove hesitations and unclear phrases like “5050” or “mostly I use that” — be specific about frequency or context.

Ejemplo: I use both a desktop and a laptop equally. For instance, I use a desktop at home for long typing tasks, but I use a laptop when I am traveling or studying at a café.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a clear time reference, then give a short supporting detail. Avoid vague phrases like “if I remember dearly” and reduce hesitations.

Ejemplo: I learned to type when I was a child. My cousin taught me the basics and practiced typing games with me, so I became comfortable with the keyboard at an early age.

Sugerencia: Provide a short, organized list of specific methods using linking words (first, then, finally). Be precise about resources and avoid vague or incorrect phrases (“go for a Microsoft Office” is unclear).

Ejemplo: There are several ways to improve typing. First, use typing tutor programs like TypingClub or the typing practice in Microsoft Word to learn proper finger placement. Then, watch structured tutorials on YouTube and practice regularly for 15–20 minutes a day. Finally, track your progress with online tests to increase speed and accuracy.

× So I preferred writing uh, in on the paper, uh, or on the book uh is preferable for me, so.

✓ So I prefer writing on paper or in a notebook; that is preferable for me.

The original uses inconsistent and incorrect prepositions ('in on the paper', 'on the book'). Use 'on paper' for loose sheets and 'in a notebook' for bound books. Also change 'preferred' to 'prefer' to match the present habit. Combine clauses for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'on paper' or 'in a notebook' and keep present tense for habitual preferences.

× Uh, I would say like it's a 5050, uh, the desktop and the laptop typing going keyboard typing going hand in hand.

✓ I would say it's fifty-fifty; desktop and laptop typing go hand in hand.

Subject-verb agreement: 'typing going' is incorrect and wordy. Use 'go hand in hand' with plural subject 'desktop and laptop typing'. Also write 'fifty-fifty' instead of '5050'. Suggestion: Simplify to 'desktop and laptop typing go hand in hand.'

× So yeah, it's, uh, easy for me to use, uh, any keyboard where there is a desktop or in a laptop.

✓ So yeah, it's easy for me to use any keyboard, whether on a desktop or a laptop.

Incorrect preposition 'in a laptop' and awkward clause. Use 'on a desktop or a laptop' or 'whether on a desktop or a laptop' for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'on' with desktop/laptop keyboards.

× So, but, uh, mostly I use that.

✓ But mostly I use the laptop.

Pronoun 'that' is vague; specify the referent ('the laptop' or 'the desktop'). Also remove redundant conjunctions. Suggestion: Replace vague pronouns with specific nouns for clarity.

× If I remember dearly, uh, I would say that it's since my childhood.

✓ If I remember correctly, I would say that it's been since my childhood.

Use 'correctly' not 'dearly'. For duration from past to present, use present perfect 'has been' or 'it's been since my childhood' to show continuity. Suggestion: Use 'if I remember correctly' and 'it's been since my childhood'.

× Uh, I, uh, my cousin made me a typing, uh, uh, made typing easy for me.

✓ My cousin taught me to type and made typing easy for me.

The original is fragmented and redundant. 'Made me a typing' is ungrammatical. Use 'taught me to type' and combine ideas into one clear sentence. Suggestion: Use 'taught me to type' or 'helped me learn to type'.

× So I would say, uh, from since my childhood.

✓ So I would say since my childhood.

Redundant 'from since' is incorrect. Use either 'from my childhood' or 'since my childhood'; 'since' alone is appropriate here. Suggestion: Use single preposition 'since' for continuity to present.

× There are lots of ways to, uh, improve your typing.

✓ There are many ways to improve your typing.

'Lots of' is informal but acceptable; change to 'many' for formality and remove filler 'to, uh,'. Suggestion: Remove filler sounds and use concise wording.

× First, go for a Microsoft UH.

✓ First, try Microsoft Word (practice using Microsoft Word).

'Go for a Microsoft' is vague and ungrammatical. Likely refers to Microsoft Office or Word. Specify the software and use an appropriate verb like 'try' or 'practice using'. Suggestion: Say 'practice using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Office'.

× Yes, my uh, first we have to go for a Microsoft, uh, Office and practice there as well as saw the tutorials on YouTube and follow the guidance of the mentor who know how to write.

✓ First, we should use Microsoft Office and practice there, watch tutorials on YouTube, and follow the guidance of a mentor who knows how to type.

Pronoun and verb agreement errors: 'who know' should be 'who knows'. 'Saw the tutorials' is wrong tense; use 'watch' or 'watching'. 'Know how to write' is likely 'know how to type'. Also word order and wording were awkward. Suggestion: Use parallel structure 'practice, watch, and follow' and correct verb agreement and vocabulary ('type' not 'write').
