Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid redundant phrases, fix grammar, and finish the thought. Use one or two supporting reasons with linking words. For example, replace repeated clauses like “even though” and fix structure (e.g., “one of the best features is…”).

Ví dụ: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting is often illegible. Also, typing is faster and easier to edit, so I can produce clearer, neater work.

Gợi ý: Make the answer slightly more natural by combining sentences and avoiding filler words. Add a brief supporting detail to enrich the response, using a linking word.

Ví dụ: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop. As a result, I do most of my work and study on the laptop.

Gợi ý: Remove hesitations and be precise: give a clear time reference, use linking words (e.g., “because” or “when”), and replace vague words like “stuff” with specific examples. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: I started learning to type about six years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic because classes moved online and we had to complete assignments on a computer using programs like Notepad and Google Docs.

Gợi ý: Be more fluent and avoid filler words. Combine ideas and give a specific example of the game or method, and explain briefly why it helps, using linking words for coherence.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing by using online typing games, such as TypeRacer, because racing against others forces me to type faster and more accurately. Additionally, I practice daily drills to reinforce muscle memory.

× I usually prefer typing because even though if I write something on a paper, due to my awful handwriting, even I don't understand what I have written.

✓ I usually prefer typing because if I write something on paper, due to my awful handwriting I don't even understand what I have written.

The phrase 'even though if' mixes two conjunctions; use only 'if' or 'even though'. 'On a paper' should be 'on paper'. Word order 'even I don't understand' is incorrect; place 'even' before the verb phrase or after the subject as 'I don't even understand'. Remove unnecessary commas for clarity.

× And when it comes to typing, you don't need any handwriting for that and one of the best feature in writing is.

✓ And when it comes to typing, you don't need handwriting, and one of the best features of typing is speed.

Avoid 'any' with 'handwriting' in this context; 'handwriting' is uncountable. 'One of the best feature' requires plural 'features'. Also the sentence was unfinished; add a clear noun ('typing') and a feature ('speed') to complete it.

× Uh, unfortunately I don't own a desktop.

✓ Uh, unfortunately I don't own a desktop computer.

While 'desktop' can be used alone in speech, 'desktop computer' is clearer and more formal. This is an article/context clarity issue; adding 'computer' removes ambiguity.

× So I type on laptop keyboard everyday.

✓ So I type on a laptop keyboard every day.

Missing articles: 'a laptop keyboard' requires the indefinite article 'a'. 'Everyday' used as an adjective means 'ordinary'; the adverb form 'every day' (two words) is correct here.

× Uh, usually I started learning, uh, six years back, uh, probably in COVID time because, uh, that's the only time when online classes started and we have to do our assignments in computer by using notepad and stuff.

✓ I started learning about six years ago, probably during COVID, because that was when online classes began and we had to do our assignments on a computer using Notepad and similar programs.

Use 'about six years ago' rather than 'six years back' for naturalness. 'During COVID' is idiomatic. Use past tense consistently ('began', 'had to do') rather than mixing present. 'In computer' is incorrect preposition; use 'on a computer'. 'Notepad' is a proper noun; clarify 'similar programs' instead of 'stuff'.

× There are many efficient ways to improve typing.

✓ There are many effective ways to improve typing.

'Efficient ways' is not wrong but 'effective ways' is more natural collocation when discussing methods. This is a qualifier/word choice issue under quantifiers/adverb selection.

× Uh, you can also have specialized coaching for typing.

✓ You can also take specialized typing lessons.

'Have specialized coaching for typing' is understandable but awkward; 'take lessons' or 'receive coaching' is more natural. This involves verb phrase choice and correct collocation with -ing forms.

× But one way I prefer to improve my typing skills is to play a game.

✓ But one way I prefer to improve my typing skills is by playing a game.

When describing a method, use 'is by' + gerund ('playing') rather than 'is to' + verb; 'is to play a game' is also possible, but 'is by playing' aligns with 'one way'. Use consistent structure.

× It is a game where you can race with others, but you have to type more fast.

✓ It is a game where you can race others, but you have to type faster.

'Race with others' is acceptable, but 'race others' is more concise. 'More fast' is incorrect; use the comparative adverb 'faster'.
