Typing— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and natural: open with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh, um), and add a brief reason with a linking word. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., “faster” or “more efficient”).

Exemplo: I prefer typing because it’s faster and more efficient than handwriting. For example, I can edit and organize my notes quickly, which saves time when I study.

Sugestão: Start with a direct topic sentence, remove repetition, and use linking words to add one specific detail. Avoid saying the same reason twice.

Exemplo: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I use my laptop for studying and work. For instance, I write assignments and check emails on it, so I use the laptop several hours daily.

Sugestão: Give a clear time phrase first, remove hesitation, and add one specific supporting detail using a linking word (e.g., “because” or “so”). Keep it within 3–4 sentences and correct tense use.

Exemplo: I learned to type in Grade 10 because my school required many computer-based projects. As a result, I practiced typing for PowerPoint presentations and research assignments, which improved my skills quickly.

Sugestão: Provide a clear topic sentence and list one or two specific methods with linking words. Use active phrasing and give a concrete example of a hack or practice routine.

Exemplo: I improve my typing by practicing regularly and using online typing apps. For example, I do 15-minute drills on a typing website every day and learn shortcuts like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to speed up my work.

× I prefer typing because it saves more time than handwriting.

✓ I prefer typing because it saves more time than handwriting does.

Comparative structure: adding 'does' at the end clarifies the comparison between 'typing' and 'handwriting' and avoids ambiguity. Suggestion: include the auxiliary verb to complete the comparison (saves more time than handwriting does).

× I do type on laptop keyboard every day because I use my laptop in studying and in doing some work, so I use it every day so that's why I prefer typing.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I use my laptop for studying and doing work, so I use it every day; that's why I prefer typing.

Issues corrected: unnecessary emphatic 'do' removed, missing article before 'laptop keyboard', incorrect preposition 'in studying' changed to 'for studying', redundant 'in doing some work' simplified to 'doing work', and run-on sentence fixed with a semicolon. Suggestion: use simple present without extra 'do' for habitual actions, include articles, use correct prepositions, and avoid redundancy. Grammar problem type IDs referenced: 8 (Verb + -ing form) and 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions).

× Uh, since grade 10, uh, I had used my laptop since then, umm, because in my school we need the, we needed to, to work on it a lot because we had a lot, lots of projects and lots of PowerPoint. So I had to use the laptop.

✓ Since grade 10, I have used my laptop because at my school we needed to work on it a lot since we had many projects and many PowerPoint presentations, so I had to use the laptop.

Mixed tenses: 'had used' and 'need'/'needed' conflict. Use present perfect 'have used' to indicate an action starting in the past and continuing to the present. 'At my school' is the correct prepositional phrase. 'Lots of PowerPoint' is incorrect; use 'PowerPoint presentations.' Suggestion: maintain consistent tense (present perfect for experiences continuing to now) and use correct nouns and prepositions. Grammar problem type IDs referenced: 5 (Past tense issue) and 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions).

× By knowing some hacks and tricks and from typing a lot, you would actually be fluent in typing.

✓ By learning some hacks and tricks and by typing a lot, you will actually become fluent at typing.

Use 'learning' instead of 'knowing' for acquiring skills, and 'by typing a lot' parallel structure requires 'by'. Use future/modal consistency: 'will' is better than 'would' here to state a general truth. Use 'fluent at/in typing' or 'fluent typist'; 'become fluent at typing' is clearer. Suggestion: use parallel gerund phrases with 'by', choose correct verbs for acquiring skills, and use appropriate modal 'will' for general outcomes.
