Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful with grammar, word choice and redundancy. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct comparative forms and count/mass word use, and avoid repeating the same idea. Use linking words (for example, because, so) and provide a specific example. Also keep it within 3–4 concise sentences.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because I can type much faster and produce neater text. For example, when I prepare documents or assignments, typing helps me finish them more quickly and makes editing easier. Because of this, I usually type my work on a computer rather than handwrite it.

Suggestion: This answer is clear and relevant but improve natural phrasing and avoid repetition. Use a stronger topic sentence, vary vocabulary, and add one linking word to connect sentence ideas. Keep it concise (3–4 sentences).

Example: I usually type on a laptop because it is portable and light. For example, I take my laptop to the university every day and work on assignments in the library, which is very convenient. Therefore, I prefer a laptop over a desktop for daily typing.

Suggestion: Correct factual phrasing and grammar: give your age or year correctly, use articles and verb forms, and avoid repeating words. Start with a clear topic sentence (When I learned to type) and then add a brief supporting detail (where and how).

Example: I learned to type on a keyboard in elementary school when I was about eight years old. At school we had regular computer classes where the teacher showed us proper typing techniques and exercises.

Suggestion: Use consistent tense and clear sequence words. Start with a topic sentence in present tense for ongoing improvement, give specific methods and tools, and link sentences logically. Remove fillers and correct prepositions.

Example: I improve my typing mainly by regular practice at home and using online typing exercises. For example, after weekly computer classes at school, my father helped me with extra practice at home, and I also used typing websites to increase my speed and accuracy.

× Well, I prefer typing because I can type faster and more character than handwriting.

✓ Well, I prefer typing because I can type faster and produce more characters than with handwriting.

The phrase 'more character' is incorrect: 'character' is countable and requires 'more characters' or 'more text'. Also include 'with' before 'handwriting' for clarity. Use 'produce' or 'write' to collocate with 'characters' or 'text'. Suggestion: use 'more characters' or 'more text' and 'with handwriting' to compare mediums.

× For example, when I write documents or do assignment, typing is more faster to complete it.

✓ For example, when I write documents or do assignments, typing is faster to complete them.

'Do assignment' should be plural 'do assignments' or 'do an assignment'. 'More faster' is a double comparative error: use either 'faster' or 'more fast' (the correct form is 'faster'). 'It' is vague when referring to plural 'documents or assignments'; use 'them'. Suggestion: use 'faster' and match singular/plural of referents ('them' for plural).

× I type by laptop because laptop is portable.

✓ I type on my laptop because the laptop is portable.

The correct preposition for using a device is 'on' not 'by'. Also possessive 'my' or definite article 'the' is needed before 'laptop' for grammaticality and clarity. Suggestion: say 'on my laptop' or 'on a laptop'.

× For example, when I go to university, I bring my laptop every day to do assignments in the library.

✓ For example, when I go to university, I bring my laptop every day to do assignments in the library.

This sentence is already correct grammatically. No change needed. Suggestion: none.

× I learned how to type keyboard in elementary school when I was 2012 years old.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard in elementary school in 2012.

'Type keyboard' is incorrect word order and missing preposition 'on'. 'When I was 2012 years old' is ungrammatical: likely intended to state the year '2012' or an age. Use 'in 2012' for a year or 'when I was X years old' for an age. Suggestion: use 'in 2012' or 'when I was eight years old' depending on intended meaning.

× We had computer classes where teachers taught us how to type keyboard it.

✓ We had computer classes where teachers taught us how to type on a keyboard.

'Type keyboard it' contains redundant and misplaced words. Add preposition 'on' and remove the extra 'it'. Also 'a keyboard' is the correct noun phrase. Suggestion: use 'how to type on a keyboard'.

× I improved my typing by practicing at home.

✓ I improved my typing by practicing at home.

This sentence is grammatically correct and uses past tense appropriately for a completed action. No change needed. Suggestion: none.

× For example, uh, we had a weekly computer class.

✓ For example, we had a weekly computer class.

This sentence is grammatically correct aside from the filler 'uh', which can be omitted in formal speech. The article 'a' is correct before 'weekly computer class'. Suggestion: remove fillers for clarity.

× However, that was not enough for me, so my father taught me how to type on a keyboard in at home.

✓ However, that was not enough for me, so my father taught me how to type on a keyboard at home.

The phrase 'in at home' is incorrect; use either 'at home' or 'in my home', with 'at home' being the natural choice. The rest of the sentence is fine. Suggestion: use 'at home' or 'in my home'.
