Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason and a brief supporting detail. Avoid fillers and repetition.

Ví dụ: I prefer typing to handwriting. For example, my handwriting is messy and writing for long makes my hand hurt, whereas typing is faster and more comfortable, so I enjoy it more.

Gợi ý: Remove hesitations and organize the answer: give a direct statement, then two linked reasons using linking words like 'because' and 'also'. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: I type on a laptop keyboard every day. Because I'm a student, I use it regularly to complete assignments, and I also type to search for information or notes when watching lectures online.

Gợi ý: Give a clear time marker and a concise sequence: state when, then explain how you learned with one or two specific details. Avoid filler words like 'uh' and informal phrases like 'I would say'.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was in sixth grade, when my school introduced computer classes. My teacher taught the basics, and later I improved my skills by practicing with online tutorials and typing exercises.

Gợi ý: Be specific and structured: start with a topic sentence about your main method, name the software clearly, and explain briefly how it helped, using linking words like 'for example' or 'because'.

Ví dụ: I improved my typing mainly through structured coursework and practice software. For example, my college offered 'Keyboarding' and 'Advanced Keyboarding' courses where I used a program called Typist, which provided timed drills and accuracy feedback to build speed and reduce errors.

× Also when I'm writing something by my hand, my hands start to have pain.

✓ Also when I write something by hand, my hand starts to hurt.

Use of reflexive/possessive pronouns and phrasing was awkward. 'Writing something by my hand' is unnatural; use 'write by hand'. 'My hands start to have pain' is incorrect collocation — use 'my hand starts to hurt' or 'my hands start to hurt'. Keep number consistent (singular 'hand' or plural 'hands') and use the verb 'hurt' for pain.

× But when I'm typing I kind of enjoy it.

✓ But when I type I kind of enjoy it.

Tense consistency: in general statements about preference use simple present ('I type') rather than present continuous ('I'm typing'). Although not strictly a third-person issue, this aligns with natural present-tense habit expressions.

× I don't have a desktop, uh, keyboard, but I have a laptop.

✓ I don't have a desktop keyboard, but I have a laptop.

Comma placement and insertion of 'uh' interrupts the sentence; not a grammatical pronoun error but the comma separated 'desktop, uh, keyboard' incorrectly splits the noun. Removing filler yields correct noun phrase 'desktop keyboard'.

× So yes, I type on the laptop keyboard every day.

✓ So yes, I type on my laptop keyboard every day.

Missing possessive determiner. Use 'my laptop keyboard' to show ownership. The present simple tense 'type' is correct for habitual action.

× Uh, it is because, uh, I'm a student, so I get assignments regularly.

✓ It's because I'm a student, so I get assignments regularly.

Unnecessary fillers and comma use; contracting 'It is' to 'It's' is more natural. The tense 'get assignments regularly' is appropriate; clean punctuation improves clarity.

× I do that also when I have to watch something, I have to type that and search.

✓ I also do that when I need to look something up; I have to type and search for it.

Pronoun reference and verb choice unclear. 'Watch something' likely meant 'look something up' or 'search for something'. Use 'type and search for it' or 'type it and search' with clear object 'it'. Avoid repeating 'I have to'.

× When I was young, I would say in uh, 6th class, that's when our computer classes started at my school.

✓ When I was young, I would say in sixth grade; that's when our computer classes started at my school.

Use 'sixth grade' (or '6th grade') rather than '6th class' in natural English. Spelling out numbers in speech transcripts is optional; remove filler 'uh'. Tense usage 'started' is correct for past events.

× My computer teacher told us about the basics of keyboarding, uh, but the rest of it I learned from Internet itself.

✓ My computer teacher taught us the basics of keyboarding, but I learned the rest from the Internet itself.

Verb choice: 'told us about the basics' is less natural than 'taught us the basics'. Preposition 'from Internet' needs the definite article: 'from the Internet'. Place 'itself' after 'Internet' for emphasis if desired.

× There are multiple softwares that can be used to improve typing.

✓ There are multiple software programs that can be used to improve typing.

'Software' is an uncountable noun; use 'software programs' or 'pieces of software' for countable reference. 'Multiple softwares' is incorrect. Also 'There are' is fine for plural 'programs'.

× A1 of it was typist that I used.

✓ One of them was a program called Typist that I used.

'A1 of it' is unclear and ungrammatical. Use 'One of them' to refer to the software options. Introduce the program name with 'a program called Typist'. Ensure noun phrases are clear and articles are used correctly.

× It was under my college course.

✓ It was part of my college course.

'Under my college course' is awkward; use 'part of my college course' to indicate the program was included in the course. Past tense 'was' is appropriate for a past course.

× I had a college course named Keyboarding and advanced keyboarding in which I had to use that software.

✓ I had a college course called 'Keyboarding and Advanced Keyboarding' in which I had to use that software.

Use 'called' or 'named' is acceptable, but capitalize course titles and add articles as needed. 'Advanced Keyboarding' should be capitalized as part of the course title. The sentence structure is otherwise fine.

× So that's how I improved my typing.

✓ So that's how I improved my typing.

This sentence is grammatical and appropriate; no correction needed. It correctly summarizes the previous explanation.
