Typing— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is natural, relevant and well-structured with a clear topic sentence and supporting details. To improve further, reduce a small amount of redundancy and add a short linking phrase to make the contrast crisper (e.g., “however” or “on the other hand”). Also vary vocabulary slightly (use ‘retain’ or ‘memorise’ instead of repeating ‘remember’). Keep sentences concise and within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: I prefer handwriting when studying for finals because I retain information better when I write notes on paper. However, typing is less tiring for short tasks; long typing sessions strain my eyes. Therefore, I usually handwrite detailed revision notes and type quick summaries.

Sugestão: This answer is direct, fluent and contains good supporting reasons. To improve, tighten the sentences by removing fillers and add a linking word to connect convenience and examples (e.g., “for instance” or “such as”). You could also swap one common word for a more precise synonym (e.g., ‘mobile’ or ‘portable device’).

Exemplo: I use a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop. It's more convenient and portable; for instance, I can work at a café or while travelling, which fits my busy routine.

Sugestão: The response answers the question but is slightly long-winded and contains some awkward phrasing. Improve clarity by splitting into two concise sentences, using linking words (e.g., “as” or “because”) correctly, and correcting word order. Replace vague phrases like “those lesson style” with clearer expressions (e.g., “basic typing lessons”).

Exemplo: I can't recall the exact year, but I learned to type in primary school because we had regular computer lessons. Those basic typing classes taught keyboard skills and made me more confident using computers.

Sugestão: Good content and clear meaning, but phrasing could be more precise and avoid awkward fragments. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., “for example” or “so”), correct compound modifiers (write “AI-based”), and be specific about what the tools provided (e.g., suggestions on errors, speed tests). Also, keep to two to three concise sentences.

Exemplo: I don't follow a strict method, but when preparing for the IELTS I used AI-based typing tools and grammar checkers. For example, these tools gave real-time error corrections and timed exercises, which helped me increase speed and improve accuracy.

× ... those lesson style basic typing skills and how to use a keyboard which helped me become more confident using computers.

✓ ... those lesson-style basic typing skills and how to use a keyboard, which helped me become more confident in using computers.

The phrase 'lesson style' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective modifying 'basic typing skills', so use 'lesson-style'. Also, a comma is needed before the nonrestrictive clause 'which helped me...' Finally, the verb phrase should be 'confident in using computers' to follow standard collocation; 'using' here is a present participle used after a preposition and must be paired with 'in'. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjectives, punctuate nonrestrictive clauses with a comma, and use 'confident in using' rather than 'confident using' for clarity.

× It's more convenient because it's portable, I can work on the go whether I'm at a coffee or traveling, and that flexibility really suits my routine.

✓ It's more convenient because it's portable; I can work on the go whether I'm at a cafe or traveling, and that flexibility really suits my routine.

The phrase 'at a coffee' is incorrect; the intended noun is 'cafe'. Also, the original uses a comma splice joining two independent clauses with only a comma. Replace the comma with a semicolon or split into two sentences. Suggestion: use 'cafe' for the place and avoid comma splices by using a semicolon or period.

× They helped me practice typing faster and improve my accuracy by giving me a suggestion.

✓ They helped me practice typing faster and improve my accuracy by giving me suggestions.

The singular 'a suggestion' is awkward here because grammar checkers typically provide multiple suggestions; using the plural 'suggestions' is more natural. This is not strictly a tense error but concerns correct pluralization and collocation with 'giving'. Suggestion: use plural when referring to multiple items provided by tools, and keep parallel verb structure ('practice' and 'improve').

× I don't remember the exact year, but I learned to type during my primary school years because we had regular computer classes, those lesson style basic typing skills and how to use a keyboard which helped me become more confident using computers.

✓ I don't remember the exact year, but I learned to type during my primary school years because we had regular computer classes that taught basic typing skills and how to use a keyboard, which helped me become more confident in using computers.

The original contains a comma splice and a fragment: 'those lesson style basic typing skills...' is not linked correctly to 'we had regular computer classes'. Replacing it with a relative clause 'that taught basic typing skills' fixes the sentence structure. Also hyphenate 'lesson-style' or simply use 'basic typing skills'. Add a comma before the nonrestrictive 'which' clause and use 'confident in using'. Suggestion: use appropriate relative clauses ('that taught') to connect ideas and correct punctuation for clarity.
