Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., 'because', 'so', 'for example'). Reduce hesitations and avoid repeating filler words. Also correct small grammar slips like 'if I had to back' → 'if I had to choose'.

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting because I enjoy the personal touch and tradition behind it. For example, when I was young I admired elders writing poems and showing them to tourists, so handwriting feels more meaningful to me.

Gợi ý: Good clear answer and relevant reason. Improve fluency by removing fillers and tightening phrasing. Use a connective to link ideas and correct small repetition ('have only have'). Optionally add a brief detail about how you type instead (e.g., on a phone).

Ví dụ: No, I don't type on a desktop or laptop every day because I don't own one. I mainly use my iPhone for messaging and light typing, so I rarely use a keyboard.

Gợi ý: Provide a concise timeline and specific detail. Begin with a clear time phrase (e.g., 'I learned when I was about X years old') and avoid repeating words. Mention one specific part of what you were taught to show depth.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was about ten years old. My older brother showed me basic finger placement and common shortcuts on the family laptop, which helped me improve quickly.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and give specific methods and examples rather than a general statement. Use linking words ('for example', 'so') and limit to two or three sentences. Mention concrete practice methods (typing exercises, online tests, regular use).

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice. For example, I use online typing tests and practice lessons for 15 minutes daily, and I also try to type emails and notes by touch-typing to build speed and accuracy.

× Well, if I had to back, I would choose handwriting, umm, because when I was young I admired old people using their hands to write, uh, poems or umm, articles, umm, and showing it to uh, various people and tourists in my country.

✓ Well, if I had to go back, I would choose handwriting, because when I was young I admired older people using their hands to write poems or articles and showing them to various people and tourists in my country.

The phrase 'to back' is incorrect; the correct prepositional phrase is 'to go back' meaning to return to a past time. 'Old people' is better expressed as 'older people' in this context. Also replace 'showing it' with 'showing them' to match the plural nouns 'poems or articles'. Suggestions: use correct verbal phrase 'go back', use 'older' for relative age, and ensure pronoun agrees in number with its antecedent.

× To be honest, no I do not.

✓ To be honest, no, I do not.

This sentence is mainly punctuation-related rather than grammatical, but adding a comma after 'no' makes the response clearer and natural. Keep subject-verb agreement as 'I do not'. Suggestion: include the comma for natural spoken pause in writing.

× And this is mainly because I don't have a laptop. Umm, I now have only have an iPhone, uh, which is a mobile phone, so I don't usually use a desktop or a laptop keyboard.

✓ And this is mainly because I don't have a laptop. I only have an iPhone, which is a mobile phone, so I don't usually use a desktop or laptop keyboard.

There is a duplicated 'have' in 'I now have only have an iPhone'. Remove the extra 'have'. Also 'a desktop or a laptop keyboard' can be simplified to 'desktop or laptop keyboard' for naturalness. Suggestion: eliminate duplicated words and simplify parallel noun phrases.

× When I was young, there was a laptop, uh, used by the whole family.

✓ When I was young, there was a laptop used by the whole family.

The sentence is understandable but contains unnecessary filler 'uh' and slightly awkward word order. Keeping 'there was a laptop used by the whole family' is correct for existence. Suggestion: remove fillers and use concise phrasing for clarity.

× So there was a keyboard, uh, alongside this, uh, laptop, uh, and my older brother taught me how to use the keyboard, uh, and how to type on it.

✓ There was a keyboard alongside this laptop, and my older brother taught me how to use it and how to type on it.

The original has repetitive fillers and a repetitive phrase 'how to use the keyboard, and how to type on it' which is redundant. Combine ideas and replace 'the keyboard' with the pronoun 'it' after first mention to avoid repetition. Suggestion: remove fillers and tighten sentence structure to avoid redundancy.

× I think by practice I can improve everything, including typing, and since I have been using the typing method since I was young, I have improved it very well.

✓ I think with practice I can improve everything, including typing, and since I have been using this typing method since I was young, I have improved a lot.

Use 'with practice' rather than 'by practice' for natural collocation. 'Using the typing method' is awkward; 'this typing method' is clearer. 'Improved it very well' is unidiomatic; use 'improved a lot' or 'made a lot of improvement'. Suggestion: prefer natural collocations and idiomatic adverb phrases (a lot, much better) and avoid awkward noun phrases.

× Uh, so yeah, the main point would be practicing.

✓ So, the main point is practicing.

'Would be practicing' is an awkward conditional/modal construction here; a simple present 'is practicing' states the general truth more directly. Also remove filler 'uh, so yeah'. Suggestion: use direct present tense for general truths and omit conversational fillers in written form.
