Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: 答えは明確ですが、内容が繰り返しで具体性に欠けます。日本語での改善点：①主題文は良いので維持する。②“effective and efficient”は似た意味の重複なので一つに絞るか、別の理由（正確さ、検索のしやすさ、可読性など）を加える。③具体例（学校でのノート取り方、速さの比較、特定の状況）を1文入れて広げる。④文の流れを良くするために接続詞（for example, because, so）を使う。

Ví dụ: I prefer typing to handwriting because it allows me to take notes much faster and organize them easily on my laptop. For example, when I study, I can search digital notes quickly and edit mistakes without rewriting.

Gợi ý: 答えは意図が伝わりますが、不自然な語句（"likeness"）や曖昧な理由表現が目立ちます。日本語での改善点：①"likeness"は不適切なので"convenience"や"portability"など具体語にする。②過去と現在の対比は良いので、なぜ変わったかを具体的に説明する（持ち運び、使い勝手、サイズなど）。③接続詞（because, so, now）で論理を明確にする。

Ví dụ: I prefer a laptop keyboard because it is portable and convenient for my daily work. I used to like desktop keyboards for their tactile keys, but now I value being able to work anywhere with my laptop.

Gợi ý: 答えは正直で自然ですが、表現に不必要な言い回しと語法ミスがあります。日本語での改善点：①"Actually, it's difficult question"は不自然なので"That's a difficult question"や"I don't remember exactly"に直す。②"obtained that skill"より"learned to type"が自然。③自己学習の方法（遊び、ゲーム、練習ソフト）や年齢の推定を加えて具体性を出す。

Ví dụ: That's a difficult question — I don't remember exactly, but I think I learned to type before starting school. I mostly taught myself by practicing on the family computer and playing simple typing games.

Gợi ý: 答えは意味が伝わりにくく言い回しが不自然です。日本語での改善点：①"through self-discipline while I try to do my homework efficiently"は冗長なので簡潔にする（"by practicing regularly while doing homework"など）。②"My skills have improved besides seeing friends or other people"は意味不明確。友人から学んだのか、観察したのかを明確にする。③具体的な練習方法（タイピングソフト、毎日何分練習する、指使いの練習）を示すと良い。

Ví dụ: I improved my typing by practicing regularly while doing homework and using online typing exercises. I also watched friends who typed fast and copied their finger positions to get better.

× I prefer laptop keyboard to a desktop keyboard, and although I used to like the desktop type, I changed my preference because of its efficiency and likeness.

✓ I prefer a laptop keyboard to a desktop keyboard, and although I used to like the desktop type, I changed my preference because of its efficiency and appearance.

Use of the indefinite article 'a' is required before singular, countable nouns like 'laptop keyboard' and 'desktop keyboard' (article errors). Also 'likeness' is incorrect in this context; 'appearance' or 'preference' is more natural. Suggestion: Always include 'a' or 'the' with singular countable nouns unless plural or uncountable; use appropriate vocabulary (appearance).

× Actually, it's difficult question.

✓ Actually, it's a difficult question.

The sentence omits the article 'a' before the noun 'difficult question' (sentence structure/article error). In English, countable singular nouns generally require an article. Suggestion: Add 'a' when describing a single countable noun: 'a difficult question'.

× I can't remember how I obtained that skill.

✓ I can't remember how I learned that skill.

While 'obtained' is grammatically possible, native speakers typically use the past simple 'learned' for acquiring skills (past tense word choice). 'Obtained' sounds formal and awkward here. Suggestion: Use 'learned' or 'acquired' to describe gaining a skill: 'I learned that skill.'

× However, in my memory, I learned that skill before entering school.

✓ However, to the best of my memory, I learned that skill before starting school.

The phrase 'in my memory' is unnatural; 'to the best of my memory' or 'as far as I remember' is idiomatic. Also 'entering school' is acceptable but 'starting school' is more natural. Suggestion: Use idiomatic expressions for memory: 'as far as I remember' or 'to the best of my memory'.

× I was not taught by my parents, I learned it myself.

✓ I was not taught by my parents; I learned it myself.

Comma splice joins two independent clauses with just a comma. Use a semicolon, conjunction, or period. Pronoun 'it' correctly refers to 'the skill' but sentence punctuation needed. Suggestion: Separate independent clauses properly: use ';' or split into two sentences.

× I have improved my typing skills through self-discipline while I try to do my homework efficiently.

✓ I have improved my typing skills through self-discipline while trying to do my homework efficiently.

Mixing 'I have improved' (present perfect) with 'I try' is awkward; use the gerund 'trying' to show simultaneous action. Suggestion: Use parallel structures: 'through self-discipline while trying to...'. This keeps tense and form consistent.

× My skills have improved besides seeing friends or other people.

✓ My skills have improved through practicing with friends and other people.

The phrase 'besides seeing friends or other people' is unclear and incorrectly connects ideas. Use 'through' and 'practicing with' to show cause. Suggestion: Express how improvement occurred: 'through practicing with friends' or 'by practicing with others'.
