Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid hesitations and repetitions, and use one or two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., "because", "so") to support your preference. Correct tense and word forms ("I grew up", not "I've grew").

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting because I grew up in the 1980s and we often exchanged handwritten notes at school. Because handwriting feels more personal, I find it better for cards and informal messages, while typing is more practical for long documents.

Gợi ý: Provide a direct topic sentence, then give two clear reasons with linking words and avoid repeating phrases. Remove filler words and minor hesitations. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "desktop is more comfortable for long typing sessions").

Ví dụ: I don't use a computer daily because my hospitality job doesn't require it, but when I do I prefer a desktop. This is because the larger keyboard is more comfortable and the screen size makes it easier to see documents, so typing is faster and less tiring.

Gợi ý: Give a clear, concise answer with one specific time and a brief supporting detail. Reduce hesitations and correct grammar ("I reckon it was when I was about 8 or 10"). Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect cause and effect.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was about eight or ten years old because computers were new then and my dad enrolled my brother and me in computer classes. As a result, it was my first experience using keyboards and basic software.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and give specific methods and examples rather than repeating "practice." Mention particular activities and use linking words to structure your response (e.g., "For example", "by"). Keep sentences concise and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: I improved my typing mainly through regular practice. For example, I typed many university assignments and emails, and I also used online typing exercises to increase speed and accuracy, so over time my typing became much faster.

× I prefer handwriting. I am.

✓ I prefer handwriting.

The fragment 'I am.' is a sentence without a clear predicate or continuation and is redundant after stating a preference. Remove 'I am.' to avoid a sentence structure error and produce a complete, coherent response.

× I was born in the 90s, eighties, sorry.

✓ I was born in the eighties or the nineties, sorry.

The speaker confuses decade references. Use 'the eighties' or 'the nineties' with the definite article 'the' when referring to decades. Keep one correct decade to avoid confusion.

× So I've grew, I grew up in a context which we used to write letters, we used to write to each other little notes during classes.

✓ So I grew up in a context where we used to write letters and little notes to each other during classes.

'I've grew' is incorrect because 'grow' should be in simple past 'grew' or past participle 'grown' after 'have'. The correct form here is simple past 'I grew up'. Also use 'where' rather than 'which' to refer to a context, and streamline repetition: combine clauses with 'and'.

× So I think I prefer like handwriting, I think has more personality as well.

✓ So I think I prefer handwriting; I think it has more personality as well.

'Prefer like handwriting' incorrectly includes 'like'; remove 'like' to say 'prefer handwriting'. The clause 'I think has more personality' lacks a subject for 'has'—add 'it'. Use a semicolon or separate sentences for clarity.

× I don't use my computer every day because my job doesn't require using a computer.

✓ I don't use my computer every day because my job doesn't require me to use a computer.

While the original is understandable, the structure is improved by using the infinitive 'require me to use' rather than the gerund 'require using' for clarity and correctness in formal English.

× I work in hospitality but when I do I prefer desktop.

✓ I work in hospitality, but when I do, I prefer a desktop.

Add commas for readability and include the article 'a' before 'desktop' because 'desktop' here is a countable noun referring to a desktop computer.

× I think it's bigger. I think it's easier to to type in a desktop.

✓ I think it's bigger. I think it's easier to type on a desktop.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'type' and 'desktop' (type on a desktop). Also remove the duplicate 'to'.

× For me it's way more convenient, so yes.

✓ For me it's much more convenient, so yes.

'Way' is informal and conversational; 'much' is a more standard adverb for comparative emphasis. Also add an apostrophe in 'it's' is already present.

× I reckon was when, umm, when I was umm, I think 8 or 10 years old because computer was a new thing and big thing.

✓ I reckon it was when I was, I think, eight or ten years old because the computer was a new and big thing.

Insert the subject 'it' after 'reckon' to complete the clause. Spell out numbers in words for clarity. Use the definite article 'the' with 'computer' and add 'and' to link adjectives 'new and big'.

× So my dad put me and my brother into computer classes and I think was the first time I was using keyboards and computers and everything.

✓ So my dad put my brother and me into computer classes, and I think it was the first time I used keyboards and computers.

Use object order 'my brother and me'. 'Put into computer classes' is acceptable but reorder objects. Add 'it' for 'it was'. Prefer simple past 'used' rather than continuous 'was using' for a completed past event. Remove redundant 'and everything'.

× So all the softwares was everything was pretty new.

✓ So all the software was pretty new.

'Software' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized as 'softwares'. Use singular 'software' with singular verb 'was'. Remove the redundant 'everything was' to avoid repetition.

× I think it's practice.

✓ I think it's practice.

This sentence is acceptable colloquially. If a more formal phrasing is required, use 'I think it's a matter of practice' or 'I think practice is important.' No grammatical correction necessary.

× So as I've been doing lots of assignments for university when I used to work with a computer, just practicing, practicing writing lots of things, emails and messages.

✓ So, as I did lots of assignments for university when I used to work with a computer, I practised a lot, writing emails and messages.

Clarify tense consistency: use 'did' for completed past actions or restructure. 'Practising' should be 'practised' (past) and streamline repetition. Use commas for clarity. In American English, 'practiced' is the spelling.

× I think with time you can improve a lot of your typing.

✓ I think with time you can improve your typing a lot.

Move 'a lot' after the object for more natural word order. The original tense is fine; this corrects adverb placement for fluency.

× So I guess that was my main thing.

✓ So I guess that was the main thing for me.

'My main thing' is informal and awkward; rephrase to 'the main thing for me' for clearer and more natural expression.
