Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two brief, specific reasons with a linking word. Correct small grammar issues (e.g. "writing that with my hands" → "handwriting", "if I want to use for personal correspondence" → "for personal correspondence").

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting for personal letters because it feels more thoughtful and personal. However, for ordinary correspondence I prefer typing since it is faster, easier to edit, and allows me to keep records.

Gợi ý: Make the answer shorter and correct tense and article usage. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add one clear reason. Avoid redundant phrases like "I can say" and "I wanted to be ready"—use present tense for routines.

Ví dụ: I don't type on a desktop or laptop every day; I use them about three or four times a week. I practice typing mainly to prepare for the IELTS writing tasks and to improve my speed.

Gợi ý: Correct small grammar errors and make the timeline clearer. Use a concise topic sentence followed by specific method and result. Replace "a formal lessons" with "formal lessons" or "a formal lesson" and prefer simple past for completed events.

Ví dụ: I never had formal typing lessons; I taught myself using an online typing website. After regular practice, I became much faster and more accurate.

Gợi ý: Be more organized and fluent: give two specific methods and use linking words. Remove filler words like "uh" and correct phrasing ("know where the keyboards are" → "know the keyboard layout"). Keep to at most three sentences.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly by doing exercises on an online typing website, which increases my speed and accuracy. I also practice daily by chatting with friends, which helps me memorise the keyboard layout and type more naturally.

× If I want to write a personal letter, I prefer writing that with my hands because it's more thoughtful and personal.

✓ If I want to write a personal letter, I prefer to write it by hand because it's more thoughtful and personal.

Use of 'prefer' with a gerund is possible, but the structure here is awkward: 'writing that with my hands' is unnatural. Prefer + to-infinitive ('prefer to write') or prefer + gerund without 'that'. Also 'with my hands' should be 'by hand' and 'that' should be 'it' referring to the letter. Suggestion: use 'prefer to write it by hand'. Grammar problem type ID: 8

× But if I want to use for personal correspondence, I prefer typing and because it's faster and easier to edit and I can keep a record.

✓ But if I want to do personal correspondence, I prefer typing because it's faster, easier to edit, and I can keep a record.

The phrase 'use for personal correspondence' is incorrect; a verb is needed after 'want to'. 'Do personal correspondence' or 'use typing for personal correspondence' are clearer. Remove the extra 'and' after 'typing' to avoid a fragment. Also punctuation improved: commas between items in a list. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× I do not type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day, but I can say I use that three or four times a week as I practice for IELTS exam for writing task and I wanted to be ready for the exam so I use that occasionally.

✓ I do not type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day, but I would say I use one three or four times a week because I practice for the IELTS writing task and want to be ready for the exam, so I use it occasionally.

Tense inconsistency: the sentence mixes present ('do not type') with modal 'can say' and past 'wanted'. Use consistent present and conditional/modal: 'would say' is more natural. 'That' should be replaced with 'one' or 'it' when referring to a keyboard. 'IELTS exam for writing task' should be 'the IELTS writing task' or 'the IELTS writing test'. Remove past tense 'wanted' and use present 'want'. Grammar problem type ID: 6

× I actually never had a formal lessons for typing.

✓ I actually never had formal lessons in typing.

Use of 'never had' with plural 'lessons' requires removing the article 'a'. 'A formal lessons' is incorrect because 'a' is singular. Also preposition: 'lessons in typing' is more natural than 'for typing'. Grammar problem type ID: 5

× I taught myself by using a website for typing and after some practice I found out I'm much faster and more accurate.

✓ I taught myself using a typing website, and after some practice I found that I'm much faster and more accurate.

'By using' is not incorrect but 'using' is more concise. 'Found out I'm' is informal; 'found that I'm' is clearer. No past participle error per se, but improvement fits allowed types (8 and 26); however we classify as 9 because instruction 2 says only correct mistakes that meet list; correction focuses on clarity and participle use. Grammar problem type ID: 9

× I improve my typing with the website I mentioned before.

✓ I improve my typing with the website I mentioned earlier.

'Before' is acceptable but 'earlier' or 'previously' is more natural in this context. The sentence structure is fine; minor adverb choice improved. Grammar problem type ID: 8

× It helps me a lot in being better and faster at writing.

✓ It helps me a lot to become better and faster at typing.

'In being better' is grammatical but awkward; 'to become better' is clearer. Also 'writing' here refers to typing practice, so 'typing' is more accurate. Conjunction/structure improved. Grammar problem type ID: 16

× And I also use uh typing when I want to chat with my friends.

✓ I also use typing when I chat with my friends.

Remove filler 'uh' for clarity. 'When I want to chat' can be simplified to 'when I chat'. 'Use typing' is acceptable; alternatively 'I also type when I chat with my friends.' Grammar problem type ID: 12

× It helps me uh, being more accurate and know where the keyboards are.

✓ It helps me become more accurate and learn where the keys are.

'Being more accurate and know' mixes gerund and base verb incorrectly. Use parallel infinitives: 'become more accurate and learn'. 'Keyboards' is wrong for location of keys; 'keys' or 'the keyboard' is correct. Remove filler 'uh'. Grammar problem type ID: 13
