Typing— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more direct with a clear topic sentence, avoid starting with 'Yes' when the question asks preference, and add one specific linked detail. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and vary vocabulary (e.g., 'handwriting helps me remember better').

Exemplo: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember information more easily. For example, when I write in my personal journal I can recall feelings and events better than when I type. As a result, I still choose a pen and paper for notes I want to retain.

Sugestão: Begin with a concise topic sentence stating which you use, then add 1–2 specific supporting reasons using linking words like 'because' or 'so'. Avoid repeating phrases (e.g., 'I mainly use').

Exemplo: I use a laptop keyboard every day because my job requires me to travel between sites. Consequently, I use it to email contractors, call clients, and prepare order forms while on the move.

Sugestão: Use correct tense and more natural phrasing; combine details to avoid redundancy. Start with a clear time reference, then explain briefly how you learned and how your skill improved, using linking words (e.g., 'then', 'afterwards').

Exemplo: I learned to type in my sophomore year of high school during a computer class that taught basic navigation and keyboard skills. At first I was a slow typist, but after regular practice and coursework I became much faster and more accurate.

Sugestão: Answer directly with a topic sentence describing your improvement methods, then give one or two specific strategies and a result. Use correct tense and varied vocabulary instead of repeating 'improve'/'became better'.

Exemplo: I improve my typing through daily practice and by completing real work tasks that force me to type quickly and accurately. For example, I set aside 15 minutes for typing drills and rely on typing-for-work assignments, which has increased my speed and reduced errors.

× Yes, I prefer handwriting most of the time because the recall is easier when I feel myself writing it.

✓ Yes, I prefer handwriting most of the time because recall is easier when I see myself writing it.

'Feel myself writing it' is unnatural and unclear. The likely intended meaning is noticing or seeing one's writing, so replace 'feel myself' with 'see myself' or 'notice myself'. Also omit 'the' before 'recall' because 'recall' here is an uncountable noun used in general sense. Suggestion: use 'see myself writing' or 'notice myself writing' depending on intended meaning.

× One of the examples is when I update my journals of my feelings and thoughts.

✓ One example is when I update my journal with my feelings and thoughts.

'One of the examples is when I update my journals of my feelings and thoughts' is wordy and uses incorrect preposition 'of' with 'journals'. Use singular 'journal' if referring to a single habit, and 'update my journal with' is the natural collocation. Simplify phrase for clarity.

× I mainly use a laptop keyboard since my job requires me to move through various sites throughout the week, so I need to have a portable workstation.

✓ I mainly use a laptop keyboard since my job requires me to visit various sites throughout the week, so I need a portable workstation.

Use 'visit' rather than 'move through' for places you go to for work. 'Have a portable workstation' is grammatically acceptable but 'need a portable workstation' is more natural. Removed redundant 'throughout' after 'week' is fine to keep but original double adverb wasn't incorrect; main correction is verb choice.

× I mainly use it for contacting contractors and clients and also preparing order forms.

✓ I mainly use it to contact contractors and clients and to prepare order forms.

Use the infinitive 'to contact' and 'to prepare' instead of gerund phrases to show purpose. Consistent parallel structure improves clarity.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in sophomore year in high school.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was a sophomore in high school.

Use the article 'a' with 'sophomore' and the natural phrase is 'a sophomore in high school' not 'in sophomore year in high school'. Adjust word order for natural English.

× We have a subject called computer wherein they taught us how to navigate a computer, it's uses, and also how to type on the keyboard.

✓ We had a subject called Computer, where they taught us how to navigate a computer, its uses, and how to type on the keyboard.

Tense should match past 'learned' so use 'had' instead of 'have'. Use 'where' rather than 'wherein' for natural speech. Use the possessive pronoun 'its' (not 'it's' which means 'it is'). Also capitalize subject name optionally and remove redundant 'also'. Suggestion: ensure verb tense matches context and distinguish 'its' vs 'it's'.

× At first I am a very slow typer, but over the years of actual practice I became better at it.

✓ At first I was a very slow typist, but over years of practice I became better at it.

Tense inconsistency: 'At first I am' should be past 'I was' to match 'I became'. Use 'typist' rather than 'typer' for the person who types. 'Over the years of actual practice' is wordy; 'over years of practice' or 'over the years with practice' is more natural.

× Through regular practice and usage, I improved my typing significantly.

✓ Through regular practice and use, I improved my typing significantly.

'Usage' is awkward here; 'use' is more natural. This sentence is past tense and acceptable otherwise. Keep tense consistent in surrounding sentences.

× At first my typing is very slow, but over the years and actual assignments that I did, it became better.

✓ At first my typing was very slow, but over the years and with the assignments I did, it became better.

Tense inconsistency: 'At first my typing is' should be past 'was' to match 'it became'. Use 'with the assignments I did' for clearer expression; 'actual assignments' is unnecessary. Maintain past tense when describing past improvement.
