Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and use a clearer topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and long clauses. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., “handwriting helps retention” instead of repeating “errors”).

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember information and reduces careless mistakes. For example, when I take notes by hand I retain ideas better, and I make fewer spelling errors compared with fast typing.

Gợi ý: Begin with a direct, concise answer (yes/no or frequency), then add a specific situation and a linking phrase. Avoid filler words and improve sentence flow.

Ví dụ: Not every day — I usually type on my laptop when I need to research or write assignments. For instance, I use my laptop for online research and essays a few times a week.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear time reference, then give a concise supporting detail. Use linking words to connect the memory to the effect it had. Avoid repeating “very early” twice.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was in primary school. We had a weekly computer class where the teacher showed us proper typing techniques, so I became comfortable with the keyboard from a young age.

Gợi ý: Give a concise main idea and then one or two specific methods you use to improve (e.g., timed exercises, online tutors, practicing shortcuts). Use linking words and avoid vague phrases like “new things.”

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly by regular practice and targeted exercises. For example, I do timed typing tests online twice a week and practice keyboard shortcuts, which has noticeably increased my speed and accuracy.

× For me, handwriting always wins the debate because I feel that when a person is typing, there are readily more chances of having spelling mistakes and even grammatical errors.

✓ For me, handwriting always wins the debate because I feel that when a person types, there are more chances of having spelling mistakes and even grammatical errors.

The original uses 'is typing' which is present continuous; a habitual/general statement requires simple present 'types' (Present tense issue, ID 6). Also 'readily more' is awkward; 'more' alone is correct. Use simple present for general facts and remove unnecessary adverb 'readily'.

× And when a person is writing it down, he or she is better at it and the errors are reduced, so it's better.

✓ And when a person writes it down, they are better at it and make fewer errors, so it is better.

Use simple present 'writes' for habitual action (Present tense issue, ID 6). Replace 'he or she' with singular 'they' to sound natural (Incorrect use of pronouns, ID 12). Use 'make fewer errors' instead of passive 'errors are reduced' for clarity and correct quantifier 'fewer' with countable 'errors' (Incorrect use of quantifiers, ID 14). Avoid contraction 'it's' in formal correction though acceptable.

× As currently I am a student so it's not that every day I do typing on a desktop or laptop.

✓ Currently I am a student, so I do not type on a desktop or laptop every day.

Original has awkward word order and unnecessary filler 'it's not that' causing sentence structure issues (Sentence structure errors, ID 26). Move adverb 'currently' to the beginning, use simple present negative 'do not type' and place frequency adverb 'every day' at end for natural word order.

× But yes sometimes when I have to research something or I have to get some information, I do prefer using my laptop.

✓ But yes, sometimes when I need to research something or obtain information, I prefer using my laptop.

'Have to' is acceptable but 'need to' is more natural; 'do prefer' is unnecessary emphasis—use 'prefer' (Verb + -ing form, ID 8). Add comma after 'But yes' and change 'get' to 'obtain' or 'get information' to be concise. Maintain gerund 'using' correctly.

× I actually learned that very early on when I was a student.

✓ I actually learned that very early on when I was a student.

Sentence is correct. 'Learned' and 'was' are appropriate past tense for a past event. No correction needed.

× I remember that we had a period every week dedicated to the computer class and a computer teacher taught us very well to use the keyboard, and I am familiar with that from a very early age.

✓ I remember that we had a weekly period dedicated to computer class, and the computer teacher taught us very well how to use the keyboard; I have been familiar with it from a very early age.

Original is wordy and has mixed tenses. Change 'a period every week' to 'a weekly period' for concision, use 'how to use' (correct verb pattern) instead of 'to use', and use present perfect 'have been familiar' to indicate a state continuing from early age to now (Present tense issue, ID 6). Split into clearer clauses to fix sentence structure (Sentence structure errors, ID 26).

× I personally believe that improvement comes with practice, and the same applies in typing also.

✓ I personally believe that improvement comes with practice, and the same applies to typing as well.

Use preposition 'to' with 'applies' ('applies to') (Incorrect use of prepositions, ID 11). 'Also' at end is awkward; 'as well' or 'too' is better. Tense 'comes' is fine.

× And whenever I type something, the next time I get better at it.

✓ Whenever I type something, I get better at it the next time.

Original is understandable but word order 'the next time I get better' is slightly awkward. Move 'the next time' after clause for natural flow (Present tense issue, ID 6; also Adverb placement, ID 20).

× I find new things, new shortcuts, and even sometimes I get to familiarize with some new technique of typing.

✓ I discover new things and shortcuts, and sometimes I become familiar with new typing techniques.

'Get to familiarize with' is incorrect collocation; use 'become familiar with' (Incorrect use of prepositions/pronominal verbs, ID 11). Change 'some new technique of typing' to plural 'new typing techniques' for natural expression and correct noun form (Singular and plural issue, ID 1).

× So yeah, every time I use my desktop, I find myself better at it.

✓ So yes, every time I use my desktop, I find that I improve at it.

'Yeah' is informal—use 'yes' in formal speech. 'Find myself better at it' is informal/awkward; 'find that I improve at it' is clearer. Tense and aspect remain present (Present tense issue, ID 6).
