Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and accurate: state your preference clearly, reduce filler sounds, correct grammar, and give one specific supporting detail with a linking phrase. Limit to 2–4 sentences. Use correct nouns and quantify clearly.

Example: I prefer handwriting because I enjoy the tactile feeling of writing on paper. For example, every semester I buy two large notebooks for taking notes in my classes, and I already own more than five notebooks from previous semesters.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, avoid hesitations and repetitive words, and give a specific reason using a linking word. Correct word choice (e.g., "use a laptop" not "tap on"). Keep it to 2 sentences.

Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it is portable and lets me work in different locations. In contrast, a desktop would be fixed in one place and less convenient for moving around.

Suggestion: Provide a clear past-time reference and clean up grammar and sequence words. Use linking words to explain how it happened and one specific detail about the learning process. Avoid repetition.

Example: I learned to type when I was in primary school during computer classes. We practiced typing regularly and took a typing test at the end of the course to assess our skills.

Suggestion: Start with a direct statement, reduce fillers, and give a specific method or example showing how practice improved your typing. Use linking words to connect ideas and keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Example: I haven't taken extra lessons; my typing improved gradually because I had more assignments that required typing. As a result, practicing regularly while completing coursework helped me become faster and more accurate.

× Honestly, I prefer handwriting because I like the feeling of writing words on the paper.

✓ Honestly, I prefer handwriting because I like the feeling of writing words on paper.

Use of the definite article 'the' before 'paper' is unnecessary here; 'on paper' is the idiomatic expression. Remove 'the' to sound natural.

× Uh, for example, every semester I will prepare 2 uh, big a blinker to take notes about all my classes.

✓ Uh, for example, every semester I prepare two big notebooks to take notes for all my classes.

Multiple issues: '2' should be written as 'two' in formal speech; 'big a blinker' is ungrammatical and likely meant 'big notebook(s)'. Use plural 'notebooks' to agree with 'two'. Use present simple 'prepare' for habitual action instead of 'will prepare'. Use 'take notes for' or 'take notes in' rather than 'about' for classes.

× And uh, I already have like more than 5 notebooks.

✓ And I already have more than five notebooks.

Write numbers in words for small numbers in speech transcripts; remove filler 'like' for clarity. The plural 'notebooks' is correct; this correction normalizes style.

× Uh, I tap on the laptop, a keyboard keyboard every day because it's convenient to take the laptop everywhere and then change the, umm, position.

✓ Uh, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it's convenient to take the laptop everywhere and then change its position.

Use 'type' (verb) instead of 'tap' for typing; 'on the laptop, a keyboard keyboard' is redundant—'on a laptop keyboard' or 'on the laptop's keyboard'. Use the possessive 'its position' to refer to the laptop. This fixes word choice and noun phrase structure.

× If I use a desktop, I have to fix, uh, in somewhere.

✓ If I use a desktop, I have to keep it in one place.

'Fix in somewhere' is incorrect. Use 'keep it in one place' or 'fix it somewhere' with clearer object. 'Keep it in one place' conveys immobility of a desktop.

× I remember I learned to type on the keyboard when I was a kid when I was in primary school.

✓ I remember learning to type on the keyboard when I was a kid in primary school.

Use the gerund 'learning' after 'remember' when recalling an experience; avoid repeating 'when I was'. The past tense 'learned' is acceptable but 'remember learning' is more natural. Also streamline 'when I was a kid in primary school'.

× We have computer class and we need to learn how to type and to practice type 1st and the we will have examination to non typing.

✓ We had computer class and we needed to learn how to type and to practice typing first, and then we had an examination on typing.

Tense should be past ('had', 'needed') because speaking about past events. Use 'practice typing' (gerund) not 'practice type'. 'First' spelling corrected. Use 'then' not 'the'. Use article 'an' before 'examination' and preposition 'on' with 'typing'. This corrects verb tense, verb forms, articles, and prepositions.

× I don't really, uh, spend additional, uh, time and attention on improving my typing.

✓ I don't really spend extra time or attention improving my typing.

Replace 'additional' with more natural 'extra'; use 'or' between 'time or attention'. Remove filler commas. 'Improving my typing' as gerund phrase is correct.

× I mean, my typing improved just, umm, step by step because I have more assignments, uh, which need to be finished by typing.

✓ I mean, my typing has improved just step by step because I have more assignments that need to be completed by typing.

Use present perfect 'has improved' to indicate gradual improvement up to now. 'Which' can be replaced by 'that' for defining clause; 'finished by typing' is awkward—'completed by typing' or 'completed by typing them' is better. Remove filler words.

× And I think the key is practice.

✓ And I think the key is practice.

Sentence is grammatical; no correction needed. Present tense 'think' and noun 'practice' appropriately used.
