Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh), correct small grammar issues, and add one specific reason or brief example. Use a linking phrase to connect idea and example.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because most of my work is done on computers and phones. For example, I send emails and take notes digitally, which is faster and easier to edit than writing by hand.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, remove hesitations and awkward pauses, fix grammar (e.g., "I type on my laptop every day"), and provide one specific activity to support the claim.

Example: Yes, I type on my laptop every day. I use it for work tasks like writing reports and for personal tasks such as messaging and online banking.

Suggestion: Provide a concise chronological answer with fewer fillers, a clear time reference, and one specific detail about how you learned (method or practice). Use a linking word to connect time and method.

Example: I learned to type during the 2020 lockdown when schools moved online. My mother bought me a laptop for classes, and I practiced typing every day while attending virtual lessons.

Suggestion: Give a focused, natural answer with a topic sentence, reduce repetition and fillers, and use linking words to explain how the activity leads to improvement. Mention one measurable result if possible (e.g., faster WPM or fewer errors).

Example: I improve my typing by practicing on online games such as TypeRacer, which time you and encourage fast, accurate typing. As a result, my speed has increased and I make fewer mistakes when typing long documents.

× I probably prefer typing because in this era everything is done on the electronic gadgets such as the computer, the laptops and even the mobile phones, which, uh, include more typing rather than handwriting.

✓ I probably prefer typing because in this era everything is done on electronic gadgets such as computers, laptops and even mobile phones, which involve more typing than handwriting.

Use of articles and prepositions: 'on the electronic gadgets' is awkward; use 'on electronic gadgets' or no article. Also plural nouns should be 'computers, laptops and mobile phones'. 'Include more typing' is incorrect here; 'involve more typing' or 'require more typing' is correct. Use 'than' for comparisons, not 'rather than'. Also remove unnecessary 'the' before device types.

× And typing doesn't require the way you write.

✓ And typing does not require the same handwriting style as writing by hand.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. 'Require the way you write' is incorrect structure. Clarify meaning: contrast typing with handwriting by saying typing does not require the same handwriting style or neatness. Use 'does not' for formality and specify 'handwriting'.

× I actually got a laptop as my birthday gift from my mom, so I on a daily basis type on the laptop keyboard for my work and for other. Things.

✓ I actually got a laptop as a birthday gift from my mom, so I type on the laptop keyboard every day for my work and other things.

Fix article use: 'my birthday gift' can be 'a birthday gift' or 'a laptop as a birthday gift'. Word order: 'so I on a daily basis type' should be 'so I type every day' or 'on a daily basis I type'. Remove erroneous period in 'other. Things'. Maintain present simple for habitual action.

× Uh, I probably say when the world underwent the lockdown, uh, in the year 2020, at that time I used to actually have online classes.

✓ I would say it was when the world went into lockdown in 2020; at that time I actually had online classes.

Use of tense and phrasing: 'underwent the lockdown' is awkward; native speakers say 'went into lockdown' or 'was in lockdown'. 'I probably say' should be 'I would say' or 'I would say it was'. 'Used to actually have' is redundant; 'actually had' is better. Keep past simple for past events.

× So, uh, my mom bought me a laptop for my, uh, classes at that time. I learned it.

✓ So my mom bought me a laptop for my classes then, and I learned how to type on it.

'I learned it' is vague and unidiomatic. Specify 'learned how to type on it'. Use 'then' or 'at that time' for past reference. Maintain past simple for completed actions.

× I'd say I made an habit of uh, fast typing with the games which are available online, like the type racing game, uh, which uh, starts the timer and by the timer ends, you have to type as many words as you can.

✓ I'd say I made a habit of practicing fast typing with games available online, like the typing-racing game, which starts a timer and by the time it ends you have to type as many words as you can.

Article error: 'an habit' should be 'a habit'. Word choice: 'made a habit of fast typing' is awkward; use 'practicing fast typing' or 'practicing to type fast'. 'Type racing' should be 'typing-racing' or 'typing race'. 'By the timer ends' is incorrect; correct phrase is 'by the time it ends'. This corrects article, word order, and time clause construction.

× So by that, uh, I improved my typing skills and the speed.

✓ So because of that, I improved my typing skills and speed.

Tense and article: 'So by that' is awkward; use 'because of that' or 'as a result'. 'The speed' is unnecessary; use 'speed' without 'the'. Past simple 'improved' is fine because it refers to a change over time starting in past.
