Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and sentence fragments. Use linking words (e.g., however, because) and correct possessive and verb forms.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and easier to edit. For example, I grew up using computers at my uncle’s house, so I became comfortable with keyboards early on. However, I still appreciate handwriting for personal notes and cards because it feels more personal.

Suggestion: Give a clear direct answer and avoid hesitations and repetition. Use a linking phrase to compare contexts and correct tense/word choice. Limit to 2–3 sentences to be natural and effective.

Example: I use both, but it depends on where I am. At home I usually use a desktop because I prefer its keyboard, whereas at work I use a laptop because that is what the company provides.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence with one specific time and one supporting detail. Remove repeated words and correct tense/use of prepositions. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and use a linking word to connect ideas.

Example: I learned to type when I was about 12 at my uncle’s house. He fixed other people’s computers as a side business, so I watched and practised on his machines and gradually improved.

Suggestion: Structure your answer: start with a clear statement about your method, then give specific actions and a result. Correct grammar (tenses, articles) and avoid filler words. Use linking words like because and so to show cause and effect.

Example: I improved my typing mainly through daily practice rather than formal lessons. Because I chatted frequently with family, friends and later strangers online, I typed every day, which gradually increased my speed and accuracy.

× I personally prefer typing because it is more efficient way to communicate.

✓ I personally prefer typing because it is a more efficient way to communicate.

The sentence omits the definite article 'a' before 'more efficient way'. Countable singular nouns like 'way' require an article; add 'a' to make the noun phrase grammatical.

× Although handwriting has it's unique attributes.

✓ Although handwriting has its unique attributes.

The original uses the contraction "it's" (it is) instead of the possessive pronoun 'its'. Use 'its' to show possession (attributes belonging to handwriting).

× But personally I grew up with computers I used I my uncle owned a lot of keyboards and computers so I grew up with them and I become quite acquainted to them and I spent.

✓ Personally, I grew up with computers because my uncle owned a lot of keyboards and computers, so I became quite acquainted with them.

This run-on sentence contains repeated and misplaced words ('I used I'), wrong verb form 'become' instead of past 'became', and an unfinished phrase 'and I spent'. Reorganize into one or two clear clauses, remove repetitions, use past tense for past events, and use the correct preposition 'acquainted with'.

× To be honest, it's a bit of both. Umm, I I would type on on the, uh, desktop at home, but whenever I'm at work I have no choice but to use a laptop because that was the only form of typing that was issued to me.

✓ To be honest, it's a bit of both. I would type on the desktop at home, but whenever I'm at work I have no choice but to use a laptop because that was the only form of typing available to me.

Remove repeated words. 'Issued to me' is awkward here; 'available to me' is more natural. No third-person singular verb correction needed beyond removing duplicates.

× Therefore I didn't have any choice. But I personally much prefer type.

✓ Therefore I didn't have any choice. But personally I much prefer typing.

The verb 'prefer' must be followed by a gerund or infinitive; 'typing' (gerund) is appropriate. Also remove redundant 'I' after 'But'.

× Like I've mentioned before, I grew up with keyboard.

✓ As I mentioned before, I grew up with keyboards.

'I've mentioned' is acceptable but 'As I mentioned before' is more natural here. 'Keyboard' should be plural 'keyboards' because earlier context shows multiple devices; use plural with 'grew up with'.

× I started typing on the keyboard since I was 12 years old at my uncle's house.

✓ I started typing on the keyboard when I was 12 years old at my uncle's house.

Use 'when' instead of 'since' when giving the age at which an action began in the past. 'Since' is used with a point in time continuing to the present.

× He had a side hustle of fixing fixing other people's computers for for a high side hustle.

✓ He had a side hustle fixing other people's computers for extra money.

The original repeats words and uses the awkward phrase 'for a high side hustle'. Simplify to 'fixing other people's computers' and clarify purpose 'for extra money'.

× So I I used to learn from him and I I enjoy it quite a bit.

✓ So I used to learn from him, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Remove repeated words and match tense: 'used to learn' implies past habit, so the reaction should be past 'enjoyed'.

× Wall I don't really have a particular strategy because I not learn the not from the natural way.

✓ Well, I don't really have a particular strategy because I didn't learn it in a natural way.

Correct spelling 'Well', remove extra words, use past tense 'didn't learn' because learning happened in the past, and use 'in a natural way' for correct preposition.

× I learn how to type.

✓ I learned how to type.

The context is past learning, so use past tense 'learned' rather than present 'learn'.

× I'm communicating with my families and friends, then I improved and then I start trying to communicate with strangers online on a daily basis and that gradually improve.

✓ I communicated with my family and friends, then I improved, and then I started trying to communicate with strangers online on a daily basis, and that gradually improved.

Consistent past tense is needed because the speaker describes past events: use 'communicated', 'started', 'improved'. 'Families' should be 'family'. Ensure subject-verb agreement 'that gradually improved'.
