Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Good clear opinion and relevant reason with an example. To improve, correct a minor lexical error ('back up my field' → likely 'back up my files') and tighten the answer to avoid redundancy. Add one more specific benefit (e.g., faster editing, spellcheck) and use a linking phrase to connect ideas smoothly.

Ví dụ: I definitely prefer typing because it lets me edit and reorganize my ideas much faster. For example, when I write essays or reports I can move paragraphs easily and use spellcheck, and I can also back up my files to the cloud, which saves time and prevents data loss.

Gợi ý: Clear, concise answer with relevant supporting details. To improve further, add a linking word to connect reasons and give a brief specific example of a situation where portability helped. Keep within 3–4 sentences to remain natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I use a laptop keyboard every day because it's convenient and portable. For instance, when I travel or work from a café, I can quickly continue a project without transferring files, so I stay productive on the go.

Gợi ý: Good chronological answer and supporting details. Improve by adding a concise linking word and a specific age or grade to make it more concrete. Also avoid weak filler like 'which is really helpful' — explain how it helped (e.g., improved speed/accuracy).

Ví dụ: I learned to type in primary school, around age nine, during weekly computer classes where we practiced touch-typing. Additionally, I used typing games to build speed and accuracy, which made learning more enjoyable and effective.

Gợi ý: Strong response with specific practice routine and results. To refine it, combine sentences with linking words and quantify the improvement if possible (e.g., words per minute). Avoid vague phrases like 'noticeably' without a brief measure.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly with typing apps and games because they keep me motivated. For example, I practice about 20 minutes daily and have increased my speed from 35 to 50 WPM over a few months, while also reducing my error rate.

× I definitely prefer typing because it's much more efficient to revise and reorganize my ideas.

✓ I definitely prefer typing because it's much more efficient for revising and reorganizing my ideas.

The original uses infinitives 'to revise and reorganize' where gerunds after 'efficient' are more natural. This is a sentence structure and collocation issue; use 'efficient for + -ing' or 'efficient at + -ing'. Suggestion: use 'efficient for revising and reorganizing' or 'efficient at revising and reorganizing.'

× For example, when I write essays or reports, I can easily move the paragraphs around and back up my field digitally, which saves time.

✓ For example, when I write essays or reports, I can easily move the paragraphs around and back up my file digitally, which saves time.

The word 'field' is incorrect here (wrong word choice). The intended noun is 'file'. This is an incorrect use of vocabulary/preposition context (classified under incorrect use of prepositions or sentence structure in the list). Replace 'field' with 'file'.

× Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it's very convenient and allows me to work in different places like my office and home.

✓ Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is very convenient and allows me to work in different places such as my office and my home.

No major grammatical error, but for clarity and parallelism, expand contractions and use consistent determiners: 'such as' is more formal than 'like' in this context and include 'my' before 'home'. This improves style and consistency; classified as subject-verb agreement/structure improvement.

× I also take it with me when I travel or work from cafes so I can stay productive.

✓ I also take it with me when I travel or work in cafés so I can stay productive.

Use 'in cafés' (or 'at cafés') rather than 'from cafes' — 'work from' can be used but 'work from cafés' is acceptable; however 'work in cafés' is clearer. Also accent optional in 'cafés'. This is a sentence structure/preposition choice correction.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard back in primary school.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard back in primary school.

Both 'learned how to type' and 'learned to type' are acceptable; simplified to 'learned to type' for conciseness and naturalness. Classified as past tense choice improvement.

× We had computer classes every week where we practiced basic typing skills, and I also picked it up naturally by practicing some typing games, which is really helpful.

✓ We had computer classes every week where we practiced basic typing skills, and I also picked it up naturally by playing some typing games, which was really helpful.

Tense consistency: main clause is past ('had', 'practiced', 'picked up'), so 'which was really helpful' should be past. Also 'practicing some typing games' is awkward; use 'playing some typing games.' This fixes verb choice and tense consistency.

× I improve my typing skills mainly by using some typing games or apps.

✓ I improve my typing skills mainly by using typing games or apps.

Remove 'some' for more natural collocation. The structure 'by using' + noun is correct; classification: verb + -ing form usage acceptable but refine collocation.

× It is much more fun and makes me stay motivated.

✓ They are much more fun and help me stay motivated.

Agreement and reference: 'typing games or apps' is plural, so refer with plural pronoun 'they' and verb 'help' rather than 'makes me stay motivated'. Also 'helps me stay motivated' would work for singular; use 'help'. This fixes subject-pronoun agreement and verb form.

× I practice for about 20 minutes a day, which has helped increase my typing speed and accuracy noticeably over a few months.

✓ I practice for about 20 minutes a day, which has noticeably increased my typing speed and accuracy over a few months.

Placement of adverb 'noticeably' is more natural before the verb 'increased'. Also maintain present perfect 'has increased' to show result continuing to present. This is an adverb placement and tense usage refinement (present perfect appropriate).
