Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a concise topic sentence, avoid repetition, and add one specific reason or example using a linking word. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., efficient, convenient, legible).

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is more efficient and produces neater, more legible notes. For example, I can quickly search and edit digital documents, which saves time when studying. Moreover, typing is convenient for sharing work with classmates and teachers.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer, remove filler words, and explain briefly why you use both devices with a linking word. Use correct verb forms and clearer phrasing.

Example: I use both a desktop and a laptop every day because I write long reports on my desktop and use my laptop when I need to work on the go. For instance, I edit documents at home on the desktop but take the laptop to classes.

Suggestion: Give a clear past-tense statement, avoid vague phrases, and include a specific detail or brief example. Correct grammatical errors (e.g., 'Google' not 'Google's').

Example: I learned to type in third grade at elementary school when our computer class taught basic keyboard skills. For example, we practiced touch-typing and simple internet searches using Google, which helped me become comfortable with typing early on.

Suggestion: Answer directly, fix grammar, and give one specific practice method and a result using linking words. Avoid repetition and use precise vocabulary like 'practice daily', 'typing exercises', or 'online tutors'.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing daily with online typing exercises and timed tests to increase speed and accuracy. For instance, using a typing website for 15 minutes each day helped me reduce errors and type faster within a few weeks.

× I prefer typing nowadays because typing is just generally more efficient than handwriting, and I feel like it's easier to type compared to handwriting.

✓ I prefer typing nowadays because typing is generally more efficient than handwriting, and I feel it is easier to type than to write by hand.

Remove unnecessary article 'just' (stylistic) and correct comparison structure: use 'easier to type than to write by hand' rather than 'easier to type compared to handwriting'. This fixes article/phrase clarity and comparison form.

× Since I have a desktop and a laptop at the same time, I type it on both of the devices that I own.

✓ Since I have a desktop and a laptop, I type on both devices that I own.

Remove the incorrect pronoun 'it' which does not agree with plural 'devices' and is unnecessary. Also remove 'at the same time' (redundant). Subject-verb agreement and pronoun reference errors are fixed by deleting 'it' and using 'devices'.

× It will have to date back to when I was in elementary school.

✓ It dates back to when I was in elementary school.

Using 'will have to date back' is inappropriate for describing a past origin. Use simple present 'dates back' or simple past 'dated back' to state origin. Here 'dates back' is natural for referring to the origin of a habit.

× I was first exposed to electronic devices when I was in 3rd grade in a class that teachers taught us to type on the keyboard and search up on Google's.

✓ I was first exposed to electronic devices when I was in third grade in a class where teachers taught us to type on the keyboard and search on Google.

Replace numeral '3rd' with 'third' for formal writing. Use 'where' to introduce the clause. 'Search up on Google's' is incorrect: use 'search on Google' (no possessive apostrophe and no phrasal 'search up' with 'on'). Tense 'was first exposed' is correct (past).

× I improve my typing by practice it daily and just getting used to typing day by day.

✓ I improve my typing by practicing daily and by getting used to typing day by day.

After 'by' use the gerund form 'practicing' not the base verb 'practice'. Add parallel structure 'by practicing... and by getting...' for clarity.

× Since technology has improved rapidly, there's many devices that requires you to type on it, so I think just by doing it on a daily basis you improve pretty quickly.

✓ Since technology has improved rapidly, there are many devices that require you to type on them, so I think that by doing it daily you improve pretty quickly.

Correct 'there's' (there is) to 'there are' to match plural 'many devices'. Change 'requires' to 'require' to agree with plural 'devices'. Replace 'it' with 'them' to refer to 'devices' (plural). Simplify 'on a daily basis' to 'daily'. Add 'that' for clarity.
