Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and small grammar slips (e.g., "I have practice" → "I've practiced").

Example: I prefer typing because it's generally faster and more convenient. For example, I've practiced touch-typing so I can type without looking at the keys, and it's much easier to edit mistakes on a computer than erasing on paper.

Suggestion: Organize the response into a clear topic sentence and two supporting details. Correct grammar and use linking words to improve coherence. Avoid unnecessary technical vagueness; choose precise vocabulary (e.g., "mechanical switches" not "foaming response"). Keep within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I type on a separate mechanical keyboard every day because I prefer the tactile feedback. The mechanical switches give a distinct click and resistance, which helps me type more accurately, and I also enjoy the audible sound they make.

Suggestion: Make the answer grammatically correct and more coherent. Start with a direct statement of timing, then give one clear reason and a concrete result. Avoid unclear phrases ("without looking at the cable", "worst permanent course").

Example: I learned to touch-type in my second year at university because we didn't cover it in high school. As a result, I saved a lot of time on assignments and my typing speed and accuracy improved noticeably.

Suggestion: Provide a structured answer: topic sentence, one or two specific methods, and an effect. Use formal language and avoid fillers ("like, you know"). Mention specific websites or practices for concreteness.

Example: I improve my typing by practising regularly using online exercises. For instance, I use timed drills where a phrase appears on screen and I type it as fast and accurately as possible, which has steadily increased both my speed and accuracy.

× I would prefer typing because it's quicker.

✓ I prefer typing because it's quicker.

The student used 'would prefer' which is acceptable but in context of a general preference the simple present 'prefer' is more natural and matches the present-tense discussion. Use 'would prefer' for conditional or specific choice (e.g., 'I would prefer typing if...').

× I have practice to type without looking at the keyboard and I think it's easier to erase or go back and fix the spot that you missed.

✓ I have practiced typing without looking at the keyboard and I think it's easier to erase or go back and fix any mistakes you make.

The phrase 'have practice to type' is incorrect. Use present perfect 'have practiced' to express experience. Also 'the spot that you missed' is awkward; 'any mistakes you make' is clearer and matches present-tense general statements.

× I'm typing on a separate keyboard every day.

✓ I type on an external keyboard every day.

Present continuous 'I'm typing' suggests an action happening now; for habitual actions use simple present 'I type'. 'Separate keyboard' is unusual; 'external keyboard' is clearer.

× Use a mechanical keyboard.

✓ I use a mechanical keyboard.

The sentence lacks a subject and is a fragment. Add the subject 'I' to form a complete sentence.

× Mechanical keyboard is where the switch itself, when you press on it, it has this kind of foaming response and adjusted to your preference.

✓ A mechanical keyboard is one where the switch itself, when you press it, gives a tactile response and can be adjusted to your preference.

Missing article 'A' before 'mechanical keyboard'. The clause was awkward and ungrammatical: 'is where' should be 'is one where'; 'press on it' simplifies to 'press it'; 'foaming response' is likely a wrong word choice — 'tactile response' is appropriate; tense and structure adjusted for clarity and agreement.

× So for me, when you type in you get the noise and you get the feeling at your fingers.

✓ So for me, when you type you get the sound and the tactile feedback in your fingers.

Remove unnecessary 'in'. Use 'sound' and 'tactile feedback' for clearer vocabulary. 'You get the feeling at your fingers' is unidiomatic; 'in your fingers' or 'under your fingers' is better.

× I learned to type in my second year at uni.

✓ I learned to type in my second year at university.

'Uni' is informal but acceptable; corrected sentence only expands abbreviation. Past tense 'learned' is correct for a past event; no grammar error except abbreviation.

× I learned it because I haven't learned it in high school.

✓ I learned it because I hadn't learned it in high school.

The sequence of tenses requires past perfect 'hadn't learned' to indicate that not learning in high school happened before the later past event of learning in university.

× Like I I always want to learn to type without looking at the cable because it saved me a lot of time and once I began practicing I see a lot of improvement in my worst permanent course.

✓ I always wanted to learn to type without looking at the keyboard because it saved me a lot of time, and once I began practicing I saw a lot of improvement in my worst permanent course.

Multiple issues: duplicate 'I I' removed; 'want' should be past 'wanted' to match the past context; 'the cable' is incorrect — 'the keyboard' is intended; tense consistency: 'saved' and 'saw' are past. The phrase 'worst permanent course' is unclear but preserved; consider clarifying vocabulary (perhaps 'worst performance in a course' or 'my weakest course').

× Just by typing a lot and a lot of online typing exercises, I remember they're gonna give like, you know, a phrase popping up on the screen and you try to type as quickly as possible.

✓ By doing many online typing exercises and typing a lot, I remember they give a phrase that pops up on the screen and you try to type it as quickly as possible.

'Just by typing a lot and a lot of online typing exercises' is wordy; rephrase for clarity. Avoid colloquialisms like 'gonna' and 'like, you know'; use 'they give' and 'pops up' for correct present-tense narration of typical exercise format. Add 'it' after 'type' for completeness.

× I think I get a lot better that way.

✓ I think I get a lot better that way.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable; it uses present-tense general statement correctly. No change needed.
