Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be clearer and more concise. Start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid fillers and unclear phrases (e.g. “when I finish my eyes”) and keep to under five sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and neater. For example, I took computer classes from fifth grade and now I can type quickly, which helps me finish assignments faster. However, handwriting can be useful for personal notes because it feels more personal and is easy to do without a device.

Gợi ý: Answer directly first (desktop, laptop, or neither), then give a brief supporting detail. Use linking words like 'however' or 'when' to structure the response, and avoid long, run-on sentences.

Ví dụ: I usually use a laptop rather than a desktop. When I was at school I used a laptop regularly to complete assignments, but I don't type every day now because I have fewer tasks that require a keyboard.

Gợi ý: Give a clear timeline with concise supporting details. Start with a topic sentence stating when you learned to type, then add one or two specific points about how you improved, using linking words to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: I first learned to type in fifth grade during computer class. Later, after high school, I took additional computer courses which helped me improve my speed and accuracy significantly.

Gợi ý: Provide a structured answer: state the main methods you used, then give one specific example of practice or an exercise. Remove hesitations and vague fragments like 'there was a like rule of'. Use linking words such as 'for example' or 'in addition'.

Ví dụ: I improved my typing mainly through regular practice and formal lessons. For example, I practiced at home every day for 20 minutes and attended a computer center where they taught touch-typing techniques, which increased my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer both as when I finish my eyes, I joined the computer classes so I learned typing and I'm really fast in typing.

✓ I prefer both because when I was young, I joined computer classes so I learned typing and now I'm really fast at typing.

The sentence had incorrect preposition 'when I finish my eyes' (nonsensical) and wrong time reference. Use 'because' to show reason. 'When I was young' fits the intended meaning. Use 'joined computer classes' without 'the' for general classes. Use 'now' for current ability and 'fast at typing' (correct preposition).'

× And if I compare to the handwriting, handwriting is also nice as as we can clearly write whatever we want.

✓ And compared to handwriting, handwriting is also nice because we can write clearly whatever we want.

Use 'compared to' (correct form) rather than 'if I compare to'. Avoid repeated 'as'. Use 'because' to give the reason. Maintain present tense 'we can write'.'

× But uh, I think typing is kind of.

✓ But uh, I think typing is better for speed and convenience.

Original sentence is incomplete and lacks an object or complement after 'kind of'. Provide a complete idea that fits context: 'better for speed and convenience.' Ensure sentence structure is complete.'

× I don't use keyboard everyday but yeah when I had assignments when I was in school as I just finished, I used to do assignment on regular basis so I used laptop the most.

✓ I don't use a keyboard every day, but when I had assignments at school, I used to do assignments on a regular basis, so I used a laptop the most.

Missing indefinite article 'a' before 'keyboard'. 'Everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverb). Use 'at school' for location and plural 'assignments'. Add commas for clarity and 'a' before 'regular basis' and before 'laptop.' Maintain past habit with 'used to.' '

× When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

✓ When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

This is the examiner's question and is correct; no student correction needed. (No grammatical error to fix.)'

× When I was in school, we had computer classes when I was in I think 5th grade, so I started typing there and after finishing my high school and IELTS, I did computer classes.

✓ When I was in school, we had computer classes. I think I started in fifth grade, so I began typing there. After finishing high school and taking the IELTS, I took computer classes again.

The original mixes clauses and tenses awkwardly. Split into clear sentences. Use 'I think I started in fifth grade' (word order). Use 'began' or 'started' for starting action. 'After finishing high school and taking the IELTS' is the correct gerund form. Use 'took computer classes' rather than 'did.' '

× I took computer classes and I improved my typing skills really well.

✓ I took computer classes and improved my typing skills a lot.

'Improved... really well' is awkward; use 'improved... a lot' or 'greatly improved.' Also omit repetitive 'I' for smoother sentence. Maintain past tense consistent with 'took.' '

× As I mentioned before, I improved my typing by practicing on keyboard at home and I also went to a computer center where they teach us how to type fast.

✓ As I mentioned before, I improved my typing by practicing on a keyboard at home, and I also went to a computer center where they taught us how to type quickly.

Add 'a' before 'keyboard'. Use past tense 'taught' to match 'went' and 'improved.' Prefer 'quickly' (adverb) instead of 'fast' when modifying a verb. Ensure parallel past actions.'

× There was a like rule of and I remember and I can type fast right now.

✓ There were rules to follow that I remember, and I can type fast now.

Original is fragmented and contains filler 'a like' and missing noun. Use 'There were rules' (plural) if referring to multiple rules; 'rules to follow' clarifies. Use 'I can type fast now' for a complete, natural sentence.'
