Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and clear: start with a concise topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons. Avoid unclear phrases and irrelevant comments about teachers. Use linking words (because, so) correctly and keep it under five sentences.

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand I can organise ideas on the page and recall them more easily during exams.

Suggestion: Give a clear, concise answer with one or two specific details. Fix grammar (use ‘because’, ‘which allows me to’), avoid repetition, and use linking words to connect ideas. Mention how the laptop affects your typing (portability, speed, convenience).

Example: I type on a laptop every day because I don't own a desktop. Using a laptop is convenient since it is portable and lets me work from different places, so I can finish tasks more quickly.

Suggestion: Answer with a clear time reference and relevant details. Avoid unrelated, unclear, or idiomatic phrases that confuse meaning. Use correct tense (learned) and explain briefly how you learned (class, practice, teacher's methods). Keep it coherent and polite.

Example: I learned to type in high school during ICT classes. Our IT teacher gave us regular practice exercises and taught touch-typing techniques, which helped me improve quickly.

Suggestion: Provide a clear method and specific actions in a logical order. Use correct modal/tense and precise phrasing (e.g., ‘I improve my typing by…’). Give measurable practice routines and tools (typing tests, apps, timed exercises) and use linking words to explain results.

Example: I improve my typing by practising for 20 minutes daily on a typing app and completing timed tests to track my speed. I also copy short articles by hand and then type them to reduce errors and increase accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting because I'm not very good at typing at school.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I'm not very good at typing at school.

No change needed; sentence is acceptable. However, 'at school' is correct for location. If intended meaning is skill learned at school, 'when I was at school' could be clearer.

× I really focus on maturing teachers who are teaching typing at school, so I find it easier to plan and remember things when I write them by my hand.

✓ I really focus on learning from the teachers who teach typing at school, so I find it easier to plan and remember things when I write them by hand.

The phrase 'focus on maturing teachers' is incorrect; 'maturing' is the wrong verb and changes meaning. 'Learning from the teachers who teach typing' matches intended meaning. 'by my hand' is unidiomatic; use 'by hand' or 'write them by hand'. Replace 'who are teaching' with 'who teach' for natural present simple describing habitual actions.

× So every day I type on the laptop because I don't have a desktop.

✓ So every day I type on the laptop because I don't have a desktop.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No third-person singular subject present; 'I type' is correctly conjugated.

× I usually use my adapter my laptop because it tells me move around with it and most of the times typing on the laptop seems more easier for me so it tells me do my things quicker.

✓ I usually use an adapter with my laptop because it lets me move around with it, and most of the time typing on the laptop seems easier for me, so I can do my tasks quicker.

Multiple issues: missing preposition 'with' after 'adapter'; 'it tells me move around' is incorrect—use 'lets me move around' or 'allows me to move around'; 'most of the times' should be 'most of the time' (incorrect quantifier/adverb phrase); 'more easier' is a double comparative—use 'easier'; 'it tells me do my things quicker' should be 'I can do my tasks quicker'—use correct subject and verb and more natural noun 'tasks' or 'work'. Also replace 'quicker' with 'more quickly' if modifying the verb formally, but 'quicker' as adjective here is acceptable informally.

× I learn how to type on a keyboard.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard.

The question asks 'When did you learn...', so past tense is required. Use past simple 'learned' to match the time frame.

× When I was in high school, we were learning information and communication technology, which is ICT.

✓ When I was in high school, we learned information and communication technology, which is ICT.

Use past simple 'learned' for completed past study. 'Were learning' (past continuous) can be used but simple past is more natural for habitual or completed past activities.

× During the high school time, we had a certain teacher who teaches the IT.

✓ During high school, we had a teacher who taught IT.

'During the high school time' is awkward; use 'During high school'. 'A certain teacher' is unnatural in conversational English—'a teacher' suffices. 'Who teaches the IT' should be 'who taught IT' to match past tense, and 'IT' (information technology) doesn't need 'the'. Also avoid 'the IT'.

× He was very good, so it made me laugh.

✓ He was very good, so he made me laugh.

'It made me laugh' is unclear; referent should be 'he'. Use 'he made me laugh' to indicate the teacher caused amusement.

× the IT sold my soul. I left.

✓ I really enjoyed IT; it inspired me to continue studying, and I stayed.

Original sentence 'the IT sold my soul' is ungrammatical and unclear. If speaker meant they lost interest or were captivated, rephrase accordingly. 'I left' contradicts earlier positive statements; clarify intended meaning. Provided correction gives a plausible clear meaning, but speaker should state exact intent (e.g., 'IT stole my heart' => 'I became passionate about IT').

× Can I improve my typing by challenging my cell phone, trying to type maybe a letter or a book, a A1 page book every day?

✓ I can improve my typing by challenging myself on my cell phone, trying to type maybe a letter or a one-page A1-sized book every day.

Question form 'Can I improve' doesn't match the examiner's question context about how the student improves typing; use statement 'I can improve'. 'Challenging my cell phone' is wrong—use 'challenging myself on my cell phone' or 'using typing challenges on my phone'. 'a A1 page book' is ungrammatical; use 'a one-page A1-sized book' or 'an A1 page' with correct article and number-word agreement.

× So that made me improve my typing, my typing.

✓ Doing that helped me improve my typing.

'So that made me improve my typing' is awkward; use 'Doing that helped me improve my typing' to show cause and result. Repetition 'my typing, my typing' is redundant and should be removed.
