Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is clear, natural and directly addresses the question. To reach a higher score, reduce minor redundancy and add a brief specific example to make the response more vivid. Also vary linking phrases to improve coherence.

Ejemplo: I prefer typing because it's faster and more convenient; for example, when I write essays I can quickly rearrange paragraphs and correct errors. That said, I still use handwriting for quick to‑do lists or brainstorming because it helps me remember ideas better.

Sugerencia: Good direct response with relevant reasons. Improve by combining sentences to avoid short choppy replies and add one specific detail about when or how long to make it more concrete. Use a linking phrase to show cause and effect.

Ejemplo: Yes, I type on my laptop almost every day because I study online and complete assignments there; typically I spend two to three hours typing each evening for classes and research.

Sugerencia: The answer is relevant but contains minor grammar/word-choice issues and an unclear phrase (“computer small phone”). Improve accuracy by correcting mistakes, linking cause and effect, and adding a brief specific detail about practice or a method used to improve.

Ejemplo: I learned to type at about 12 or 13. At first I was slow because I kept looking at the keyboard, but after practicing on my laptop and using online lessons I gradually became faster and more confident.

Sugerencia: Strong, concise response with clear methods. To maximize score, add a precise example of a website or a measurable improvement (e.g. words per minute) and use a linking word to connect ideas smoothly.

Ejemplo: I improve mainly through regular practice: for example, I use TypingClub twice a week to work on speed and accuracy. As a result my speed increased from 30 to 50 WPM, and I focus on not looking at the keyboard to build muscle memory.
