Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence stating preference, then give one specific reason with a linking word. Avoid hesitations and repetitions, and correct verb forms (e.g., “I prefer handwriting” not “I usually do handwriting”).

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting to typing because I tend to make many typos when I type. For example, when I write essays by hand I can think more slowly and organise my ideas better, so my writing is clearer.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer first (yes/no and which device), then explain briefly with a specific reason. Use correct verb forms and linking words (e.g., “however” or “instead”). Avoid overlong sentences and fillers.

Ví dụ: No, I don't use a desktop or laptop every day; I mainly type on my phone because I find it faster and more convenient. For instance, I check emails and reply to messages on my phone throughout the day, while I only use a laptop for university assignments.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear time reference and a concise explanation. Start with a topic sentence like “I learned to type when...” then add one detail about how you learned. Remove hesitations and complete your sentences.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I started university, mainly by practicing while doing assignments. I never took formal classes; instead, regular coursework helped me improve my speed over time.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and give a specific, realistic method with linking words (e.g., “If I wanted to improve, I would…”). Use clearer vocabulary and avoid repeating phrases like “to be honest.”

Ví dụ: I haven't actively tried to improve my typing, but if I wanted to I would practise daily using online typing exercises and typing notes or essays. For example, I would do 15 minutes of typing practice on a website each day to build speed and accuracy.

× I I'm more of a person who usually do handwriting because when I typing I you I do too fast not to mention making typo.

✓ I'm more of a person who usually does handwriting because when I type I do it too fast, which leads to typos.

The verb 'do' must agree with the singular subject 'who' referring to 'I' in relative clause: use 'does' for third person singular if the subject were he/she, but here 'usually do handwriting' is incorrect; better: 'usually does handwriting' is wrong since subject is 'I' so correct is 'usually handwrite' or 'I usually write by hand'. Also 'typing' needs base form 'type' after 'when I'. 'Making typo' should be 'make typos' or 'lead to typos'. Suggestion: use 'I usually write by hand because when I type I do it too fast and make typos.'

× So I feel easier to do handwriting on my essay or my writing.

✓ So I find it easier to write by hand for my essays or other writing.

The phrase 'I feel easier' incorrectly uses 'feel' with an adjective; use 'find it easier' or 'I feel more comfortable'. 'Do handwriting' is nonnative; use 'write by hand'. 'My essay or my writing' is awkward; 'my essays or other writing' is clearer. Suggestion: 'I find it easier to write by hand for my essays.'

× I don't usually use laptop other than when I have assignments, but now I finish uni so I never really use computer.

✓ I don't usually use a laptop other than when I have assignments, but now I have finished university so I rarely use a computer.

English requires articles before singular countable nouns: 'a laptop' and 'a computer'. 'Now I finish uni' is wrong tense; use present perfect 'I have finished university'. 'Never really use' is acceptable but 'rarely use' is more natural. Suggestion: always include articles for singular countable nouns and match tense: 'I have finished.'

× Instead of that I always typing on my phone 'cause it's easier to do it and faster.

✓ Instead, I always type on my phone because it's easier and faster.

'Instead of that' is awkward; use 'Instead' or 'Instead of that, I...' 'I always typing' lacks auxiliary or correct form; should be 'I always type'. 'Because' should replace colloquial ''cause'. 'It's easier to do it and faster' is redundant; use 'it's easier and faster.' Suggestion: use base verb after subject and natural conjunctions: 'I always type on my phone because it's easier and faster.'

× When did you learn how to type on a keyboard? I honestly don't even remember when I learned them or quickly can't type it because I didn't really take any classes.

✓ I honestly don't even remember when I learned to type or I can't type quickly because I didn't really take any classes.

'Learned them' wrongly uses plural object; 'learned to type' is correct infinitive structure. 'Can't type it' is incorrect pronoun; say 'can't type quickly'. Present tense 'don't even remember when I learned to type' is correct. Suggestion: use 'learned to + verb' and adverb 'quickly' after verb: 'I can't type quickly.'

× I was just umm landed through doing assignments at uni so it's just getting my.

✓ I just learned by doing assignments at university, so my typing just improved over time.

'I was just umm landed through doing' mixes passive and incorrect verb forms. Use 'I just learned by doing assignments' or 'I learned through doing assignments.' 'So it's just getting my' is incomplete; clarify: 'so my typing improved.' Suggestion: keep subject-verb-object order and complete the clause: 'I learned by doing assignments, so my typing improved.'

× Uh, I to be honest I never really tried to umm, re improve my typing to be honest.

✓ To be honest, I have never really tried to improve my typing.

Redundant 'to be honest' twice; 'never really tried to umm, re improve' has unnecessary filler and hyphenation. Use present perfect 'have never really tried' to indicate experience up to now. 'Improve' should be base form after 'tried to.' Suggestion: remove fillers and duplicate phrases: 'To be honest, I have never really tried to improve my typing.'

× But if I had to do that I would just keep typing on Google or like on notes to make sure I can type it properly.

✓ But if I had to, I would just keep practicing by typing on Google or in notes to make sure I can type properly.

Condition and result use correct conditional form: 'If I had to' (hypothetical) with 'I would' is fine. 'Keep typing on Google or like on notes' is informal and unclear; use 'practicing by typing on Google or in notes.' 'Can type it properly' has redundant 'it'; use 'can type properly.' Suggestion: use 'practice' for skill improvement and 'in notes' not 'on notes.'
