Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more specific and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Avoid short vague phrases like "it's easy" — explain why typing is easier for you (speed, editing, neatness). Keep answers to no more than 4–5 sentences.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster and neater. For example, when I write essays or emails I can edit mistakes quickly and rearrange sentences, so my work looks more professional. Also, typing saves time when I have to submit assignments online.

Suggestion: Use the correct verb and give a short reason. Begin with a direct statement, then add one supporting detail with a linking word (e.g., "because" or "so"). Replace informal words like "tap" with "type."

Example: I type on a desktop computer every day because I don't own a laptop. As a result, I usually work at my desk where the full keyboard and larger screen make it easier to concentrate.

Suggestion: Provide a clearer time reference and a brief explanation of how you learned. Start with when, then explain how and include a linking word to make it coherent. Avoid one-word answers.

Example: I learned to type about five years ago from online tutorials and practice programs. For instance, I used a typing website that guided me through exercises, which helped me improve my speed and accuracy.

Suggestion: Explain the method and give a specific example of how practicing with friends helps. Use linking words to connect ideas and be slightly more detailed (what activities, frequency, or results).

Example: I improve my typing by practising with friends at school, where we take timed typing tests and challenge each other to beat our speeds. Because we do this regularly, I have become faster and make fewer mistakes.

× I do prefer typing because it's easy.

✓ I prefer typing because it's easier.

The original uses 'do prefer' which is unnecessary emphasis in a simple preference question; use simple present 'prefer'. Also 'it's easy' compares typing vs handwriting, so comparative 'easier' is more appropriate to express relative ease. Suggestion: use simple present without auxiliary for general preferences and use comparative when comparing two options.

× I tap on a desktop because I don't have a laptop.

✓ I type on a desktop because I don't have a laptop.

The verb 'tap' is unnatural for typing on a keyboard; the correct verb is 'type'. This is a vocabulary/verb choice issue affecting sentence structure. Suggestion: use 'type on a desktop' to describe using a desktop computer keyboard.

× I learned it from the Internet.

✓ I learned how to type on the Internet.

The original 'learned it from the Internet' is understandable but vague and slightly unidiomatic. Specify what 'it' refers to for clarity: 'learned how to type on the Internet.' The past tense 'learned' is appropriate here because the question asked 'When did you learn...'. Suggestion: be explicit about what was learned and keep past tense.

× I improve it with my friends at school.

✓ I practice with my friends at school to improve my typing.

The verb 'improve' is transitive here but 'it' (typing) is vague; native phrasing would be 'practice with my friends... to improve my typing.' Also use 'practice' for the action of getting better. Maintain present simple for habitual actions. Suggestion: use 'practice' and explicitly mention 'typing'.
