Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and correct tense and phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason with a short example. Remove repetition and avoid awkward tense use.

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting to typing. When I write notes by hand I remember information better because the act of writing helps me process ideas; for example, I retain lecture points more easily when I copy them into a notebook.

Gợi ý: Remove unnecessary phrases and fix grammar (articles, plural/singular). Give a single clear sentence stating which you use, then one brief reason and example using linking words.

Ví dụ: I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I carry my laptop to college. For instance, during lectures when I cannot take handwritten notes I quickly type my notes into a document so I don't miss anything.

Gợi ý: Use past tense consistently and avoid repetition. Give a clear time reference and one concise detail about what you learned. Omit filler words and finish the sentence fully.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I bought my first laptop in sixth grade. At that time I practised typing and learned how to create and organise notes on my laptop, which helped me study more efficiently.

Gợi ý: Be more direct and use clearer linking words. State your main method first, then give one specific routine with an example. Avoid hesitations and small mistakes (capitalisation, contractions).

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly by practising in Microsoft Word. For example, I copy random paragraphs and type them daily, and I also do my homework on the laptop to get more real‑life practice and increase my speed.

× I believe both typing and handwriting are equal to me, but if I have to choose between both, I would go with handwriting because I believe when I had written something I used to remember, I get to remember it really quickly.

✓ I believe typing and handwriting are equally good for me, but if I have to choose, I would choose handwriting because when I write something I remember it very quickly.

Incorrect preposition 'equal to me' should be expressed as 'equally good for me'. 'Choose between both' is redundant; use 'choose'. Tense and verb forms: 'when I had written something I used to remember' mixes past perfect and habitual past incorrectly; use simple present 'when I write something I remember' to match the general truth. Use 'very quickly' (adverb) to modify 'remember'. Suggestions: replace 'equal to me' with 'equally good for me', remove redundant 'both', and use present simple for habitual facts.

× I would say that I type most on laptop keyboard because I have laptop and I carry my laptop to my colleges and during lectures when I do not get a time to write hand notes then I prefer to type on my laptop keyboard.

✓ I would say that I type mostly on my laptop keyboard because I have a laptop and I carry it to my college, and during lectures when I do not have time to write notes by hand I prefer to type on my laptop keyboard.

Several issues: adverb placement 'type most' should be 'type mostly'. Missing articles: 'a laptop' and 'my college'. Pronoun repetition 'I carry my laptop to my colleges' corrected to singular 'college' and use pronoun 'it'. 'Get a time' is incorrect; use 'have time'. 'Write hand notes' should be 'write notes by hand'. Suggestions: use 'mostly', include articles 'a'/'my', use 'have time', and correct phrase 'write notes by hand'.

× I remember when I bought my laptop on my own, it was when I was in my 6th standard.

✓ I remember buying my laptop on my own when I was in sixth grade.

Awkward past construction 'I remember when I bought... it was when I was' is redundant. Use simple past 'I remember buying' or 'I bought... when I was'. Also '6th standard' is nonstandard in some varieties of English; 'sixth grade' or 'sixth year' is clearer. Suggestions: simplify the sentence to 'I remember buying my laptop on my own when I was in sixth grade.'

× Then I learned how to type on keyboard, how to make notes on my laptop or to organise my materials on laptop.

✓ Then I learned how to type on a keyboard, how to make notes on my laptop, and how to organize my materials on my laptop.

Parallel structure: 'how to type', 'how to make', 'to organise' should be consistently 'how to ...'. Missing articles: 'on keyboard' should be 'on a keyboard'. Repetition: include 'my laptop' for clarity. Suggestions: maintain parallel infinitive phrases and include articles.

× So that's when I learned how to type on keyboard and make notes and.

✓ So that's when I learned how to type on a keyboard and how to make notes.

The original ends with an incomplete phrase 'and.' Remove the dangling conjunction and ensure parallel structure: 'learned how to type on a keyboard and how to make notes.' Include the article 'a'. Suggestions: avoid ending sentences with incomplete conjunctions and keep parallel forms.

× So whenever I get a time to improve my typing, I usually take out a random paragraph and try to write it down on Ms. Word.

✓ Whenever I get time to improve my typing, I usually take a random paragraph and type it in MS Word.

'Get a time' is nonstandard; use 'get time'. 'Take out a random paragraph and try to write it down on Ms. Word' mixes actions; 'type it in MS Word' is clearer and fits context. Modal 'try to' is acceptable but 'try to write it down on MS Word' is awkward. Suggestions: use 'type' instead of 'write' when referring to MS Word, and use 'MS Word' capitalization.

× Or sometimes I also prefer to do my homework on laptop first because I believe this that's how I will improve my typing speed.

✓ Or sometimes I prefer to do my homework on my laptop first because I believe that's how I will improve my typing speed.

Missing article 'my' before 'laptop'. Redundant words 'also' and 'this' were unnecessary. 'I believe this that's how' is ungrammatical; use 'I believe that's how'. Suggestions: include possessive article 'my', remove redundant words, and use 'that's how' for clarity.
