Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise, avoid filler words (uh, um), and give one or two specific reasons with clear linking words. Keep within 3–4 sentences and correct minor grammar (e.g., "more faster" → "faster").

Example: I usually prefer handwriting because it feels more flexible and creative. For example, I can sketch ideas and make quick notes, which helps me think more clearly. However, I type when I need speed or to share documents electronically.

Suggestion: Answer directly, reduce repetition and fillers, and use a clearer structure: state the fact, give a brief reason and one supporting detail. Replace vague phrases with specific words.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop. I prefer the laptop since it’s portable and I can work from different rooms, but I wouldn't mind using a desktop if I had one.

Suggestion: Provide a clear time reference and organize details chronologically with linking words (e.g., "when I was a child", "later", "during COVID-19"). Avoid long, run-on sentences and correct small grammar issues.

Example: I started learning to type when I was a child because my father bought several devices for me. Later, I practised more consistently, and during COVID-19 I used a computer daily, which greatly improved my typing speed.

Suggestion: Give a structured personal answer (topic sentence + 2–3 concrete methods). Remove repetition and phrasing errors, use precise vocabulary (e.g., "autocorrect", "track mistakes"). Show how often and for how long to practice for clarity.

Example: I improve my typing by practising for 20 minutes daily using online typing apps that track accuracy and speed. I also enable autocorrect and review my common mistakes to focus my practice, and I often chat with friends to practise real typing in context.

× I can write it more faster too, uh, and it helps me to uh, feel better.

✓ I can write it faster too, and it helps me to feel better.

Using 'more faster' is incorrect because 'faster' is already the comparative form of 'fast'; adding 'more' is redundant. Use 'faster' alone. Also remove filler 'uh' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'faster' and avoid redundant modifiers.

× But if I have a desktop keyboard then I don't mind using it either.

✓ But if I had a desktop keyboard, I wouldn't mind using it either.

This is a hypothetical condition about an unreal present situation, so the conditional requires the past tense in the if-clause ('had') and 'would' in the result clause. Using present 'have' with 'don't mind' makes the condition sound real; change to 'had' and 'wouldn't' for correct second conditional.

× but since I was a kid I had many devices my dad bought for me so I used them daily and then by time I started learning how to type on a keyboard too and use the device much better.

✓ Since I was a kid, my dad bought me many devices, so I used them daily, and over time I started learning how to type on a keyboard and use the devices much better.

Multiple tense and cohesion issues: 'by time' is incorrect; use 'over time'. Sequence of past events should be expressed clearly; 'my dad bought for me' is more natural as 'my dad bought me'. Also plural 'devices' should match 'use the devices'. Punctuation and conjunctions improved for clarity.

× When COVID-19 happened I used it more and then I learned it.

✓ When COVID-19 happened, I used them more, and then I learned how to use them better.

Pronoun reference and verb choice are unclear. 'It' is vague for 'devices' or 'typing'; use 'them' if referring to devices. 'Learned it' is informal and unclear; specify 'learned how to use them better' to indicate acquiring skill. Maintain past tense throughout.

× You can improve your typing skills by by practicing daily on your phone, laptop or devices.

✓ You can improve your typing skills by practicing daily on your phone, laptop, or other devices.

Duplicate 'by by' is an error; remove the extra 'by'. 'Devices' is vague—'other devices' or list is clearer. Use gerund 'practicing' after 'by' correctly.

× You can open auto correction.

✓ You can turn on autocorrect.

'Auto correction' as two words and without article is awkward; the common noun is 'autocorrect' or 'auto-correction'. Use the verb phrase 'turn on' for enabling a feature. This fixes collocation and article usage.

× Your own device can help you identify your mistakes and then buy time you fix overtime you fix your mistakes and try try to improve.

✓ Your device can help you identify your mistakes, and over time you can fix them and try to improve.

Original sentence has repeated words ('buy time', 'overtime', 'try try') and incorrect phrases. 'Buy time' is wrong context; 'over time' (two words) means gradually. Simplify structure: 'over time you can fix them and try to improve.' Remove repetitions.

× You can write to friends or anyone you.

✓ You can write to friends or anyone you know.

Sentence ends with 'you' leaving it incomplete; it lacks the necessary object/complement. Add 'know' to complete the meaning: 'anyone you know.' This provides the required verb and completes the sentence.
