Typing— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Improve grammatical accuracy, pronunciation of phrases, and conciseness. Use a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms and articles, and avoid redundancy. Also use one linking word to connect supporting detail. For example, correct subject-verb agreement (handwriting is), fix awkward phrases (keep up with the pace, while listening), and combine sentences to be more concise.

Exemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster. For example, when I take notes during lectures I cannot keep up with the pace while listening, so I often miss important points. Therefore I usually type to capture more information quickly.

Sugestão: Good structure and relevance. Improve fluency by tightening phrasing and add a brief specific example to support the preference. Replace vague words with precise ones and use a linking word to show contrast.

Exemplo: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because my office only provides laptops. Although the laptop is convenient for most tasks, I sometimes prefer a full desktop keyboard for long typing sessions because it has larger keys and better ergonomics.

Sugestão: Clarify uncertain age range and correct time notation; be concise and use linking words to explain cause and effect. Replace vague statements with a single clear time reference and give a specific example of retained skill or problem.

Exemplo: I learned to type at primary school, around the age of seven, when we were taught proper finger placement. Although I didn't retain every lesson, the basic technique stayed with me, so I can still type quickly and with reasonable accuracy.

Sugestão: Good answer: clear, direct and specific. Improve by using present tense for current habits and adding a short detail about a deliberate practice method (e.g., online exercises) to show active improvement strategies.

Exemplo: I improve my typing by practicing daily, so it has become automatic; for instance, I no longer need to look at the keys. Additionally, I use online typing exercises once a week to work on speed and reduce errors.

× Even though handwriting are more practical in some situations, typing is much faster.

✓ Even though handwriting is more practical in some situations, typing is much faster.

The noun 'handwriting' is uncountable and treated as singular. Using 'are' incorrectly marks it plural. Use 'is' to match singular/uncountable subjects. Suggestion: treat uncountable nouns (advice, information, handwriting) with singular verbs.

× I always find that I cannot keep up to the pace where I can write while listen to things.

✓ I always find that I cannot keep up with the pace where I can write while listening to things.

Incorrect preposition 'keep up to' and incorrect verb form 'listen'. The correct phrase is 'keep up with' and when two actions happen simultaneously use the -ing form 'listening'. Suggestion: learn common collocations like 'keep up with' and use '-ing' after 'while'.

× As a result, I always end up confusing and miss the important part.

✓ As a result, I always end up confused and miss the important parts.

The verb 'end up' is followed by an adjective or verb+ing; 'confusing' is a present participle meaning 'causing confusion', whereas the intended meaning is 'feeling confused', so use 'confused'. Also 'the important part' is vague and likely plural 'important parts'. Suggestion: use 'end up' + adjective for states ('end up confused') and match count for 'part/parts'.

× So I. Choose to type over to right.

✓ So I choose to type rather than write.

This sentence has punctuation and word choice errors. There's an incorrect period after 'I' and 'choose' is capitalised wrongly. The phrase 'type over to right' is ungrammatical: use 'rather than' to contrast and the correct verb is 'write'. Suggestion: form contrasts with 'choose to X rather than Y' and ensure correct punctuation.

× I type on a laptop keyboard every day because that's the only device my office provides, so I don't really have a choice.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because that's the only device my office provides, so I don't really have a choice.

No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct. (Included to show checked sentence.)

× It is convenient even for most tasks, although sometimes I wish I had a full desktop keyboard for long typing sessions.

✓ It is convenient for most tasks, although sometimes I wish I had a full desktop keyboard for long typing sessions.

The original 'even for most tasks' is awkward; 'for most tasks' is the natural expression. Tense and modality are correct. Suggestion: prefer concise collocations like 'convenient for most tasks'.

× I learned to type when I was young, probably between 5:00 and 9:00 years old.

✓ I learned to type when I was young, probably between 5 and 9 years old.

Use 'between 5 and 9 years old' to express age range; omit ':00' which implies time of day. Tense 'learned' is correct. Suggestion: when giving ages, use numbers without time punctuation.

× My school taught me the proper finger position so I could type more quickly and accurately, but I could not retain all the lessons.

✓ My school taught me the proper finger positions so I could type more quickly and accurately, but I could not retain all the lessons.

Plural 'finger position' is better as 'finger positions' because multiple fingers have positions; not strictly grammatical error but improves accuracy. 'Taught' and 'retain' usages are correct. Suggestion: match noun number to referent (positions for multiple fingers).

× Nowadays I type using the habits I remember, and although my technique isn't perfect, I can still type quickly and accurately.

✓ Nowadays I type using the habits I remember, and although my technique isn't perfect, I can still type quickly and accurately.

Sentence is grammatically correct. Tenses are consistent and structure is fine. (Included to indicate reviewed sentence.)

× I improved my typing by making it a habit.

✓ I improved my typing by making it a habit.

Sentence is correct. The past tense 'improved' fits the context of describing how skill developed. No change needed.

× I used the keyboard every day, so it has become automatic.

✓ I used the keyboard every day, so it became automatic.

Mixing simple past 'used' with present perfect 'has become' can be acceptable, but for clarity use simple past 'became' to match the past habit context. Suggestion: maintain consistent tense when describing past routines.

× For example, I no longer need to look at the keys, I just press the right letters without thinking.

✓ For example, I no longer need to look at the keys; I just press the right letters without thinking.

Grammar is correct regarding verb forms. Change semicolon for correct punctuation between independent clauses. Suggestion: separate independent clauses with a semicolon or period.
