Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, give one specific reason with a brief example, avoid filler words (uh) and minor grammar errors, and keep within 2–3 sentences. Use linking words like 'because' or 'however' correctly.

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting because it helps me feel more connected to my thoughts and I find the physical act of writing more natural. However, I also enjoy typing sometimes because the keyboard is fast and I like the sound it makes when I’m drafting notes.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct answer then give one clear reason and a concise example. Remove repetition and fix grammar (e.g., 'when I need to use' → 'when I need to'). Mention frequency clearly (‘not every day’) and stick to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I don't use a desktop or laptop every day, but when I do I prefer my laptop keyboard because I own a laptop. For example, I usually type assignments and homework on it when I study at home.

Gợi ý: Give a clear time reference and simplify the sentence structure. Start with a direct time phrase (e.g., 'When I was about X years old') and then briefly explain the context. Avoid repeating 'at the same time' twice.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was about seven years old because we had a desktop computer at home. As I was learning to read and write at school, I practiced typing on that computer with my parents’ help.

Gợi ý: Answer in present tense for current strategies or explain past steps clearly. Be specific about methods (e.g., typing programs, timed exercises, touch-typing practice) and use linking words like 'so' or 'because' appropriately. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and correct grammar ('types' → 'type', 'write' → 'type').

Ví dụ: I improved my typing by practicing regularly with online typing exercises and timed drills, which helped increase my speed. As a child, I also copied short texts repeatedly to build accuracy and finger memory.

× Actually, I love handwriting because I feel like, uh, I can be connected with my brain and my hands and the paper that's feels like more natural.

✓ Actually, I love handwriting because I feel like I can connect my brain, my hands, and the paper; that feels more natural.

The original sentence uses 'that's feels' which mixes a contraction and incorrect verb form; 'feels' should be used with 'that' as a separate clause or 'that' can be omitted. Also 'be connected with' is awkward here; 'connect' is a clearer verb. Remove filler 'uh' for clarity. The corrected version uses proper adjective/adverb usage ('more natural') and correct clause structure. Suggestion: Use 'feel like I can connect' instead of 'feel like I can be connected with' and separate clauses correctly.

× But typing, I love making noises from the keyboard with my hands.

✓ But when I type, I love the sound the keyboard makes under my hands.

The original sentence uses awkward phrasing 'making noises from the keyboard with my hands.' This is an adverbial/ adjectival usage issue: it is clearer to say 'the sound the keyboard makes' and place modifiers in the correct order. Also change 'typing' (a noun) to 'when I type' (a clause) to fit the contrast. Suggestion: Place descriptive phrases next to the nouns they modify and use natural collocations like 'the sound the keyboard makes.'

× I actually don't use either of them every day, but when I use when I need to use, I prefer typing on a key laptop keyboard because I have a laptop and sometimes I need to make some homework and I can do them with my laptop.

✓ I don't use either one every day, but when I need to type, I prefer using my laptop keyboard because I have a laptop and sometimes I need to do homework on it.

This sentence has repetition and incorrect structure ('when I use when I need to use') and article/word choice issues ('key laptop keyboard' is redundant). 'Either of them' can be 'either one' when referring to two items. 'Make some homework' is incorrect collocation; use 'do homework.' Also pronoun agreement: 'do them' is unclear—use 'on it' referring to the laptop. The corrected sentence removes repetition, fixes collocations, and clarifies pronouns. Suggestion: Avoid repeating phrases; use 'when I need to type' and collocations like 'do homework.'

× We had a desktop in my family's house, and as soon as I learned how to read and how to write at the same time, I learned how to type on a desktop at the same time.

✓ We had a desktop at my family's house, and as soon as I learned to read and write, I learned to type on that desktop.

The original repeats 'at the same time' and uses redundant phrasing. Use 'learned to read and write' rather than 'learned how to read and how to write' for conciseness. Also specify 'that desktop' to avoid repeating 'desktop.' Tense 'learned' is correct but clarity and repetition needed fixing. Suggestion: Remove redundant repeated phrases and combine parallel verbs with 'to' for smoother past tense narration.

× When I was a little kid, I was very jealous of people who types very speedily in their desktops or laptops.

✓ When I was a little kid, I was very jealous of people who typed very quickly on their desktops or laptops.

'People who types' is incorrect: 'people' requires the base verb 'type' in relative clauses ('who type'), but because the context is past, 'typed' fits better. 'Very speedily' is unnatural; use the adverb 'quickly.' Also say 'on their desktops or laptops' for the correct preposition. This fixes subject-verb agreement and adverb usage. Suggestion: Match verb tense and subject number ('people' -> 'typed') and prefer natural adverbs like 'quickly.'

× So I started practicing some words to write more speedily.

✓ So I started practicing typing words to write more quickly.

The phrase 'practicing some words to write more speedily' is awkward. Use 'practicing typing words' or 'practicing typing' to show the activity, and 'more quickly' as the adverb. This addresses gerund/infinitive usage and adverb choice. Suggestion: Use 'practicing typing' or 'practicing typing words' and 'quickly' instead of 'speedily.'
