Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your answer direct and clear, reduce hesitations and irrelevant details, and use correct vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence stating preference, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Keep it under five sentences and avoid confusing phrases like “riding with hands.”

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. Mainly, typing is faster and easier to edit, so I can take notes quickly during lectures. Also, when I started university it became necessary for assignments, which helped me get more comfortable with typing.

Suggestion: Be concise and correct word choice. Remove filler sounds and correct awkward phrases (e.g., “very far”). Use one topic sentence and two specific supporting points linked with words like “because” and “also.”

Example: I usually type on my laptop keyboard because it is portable and convenient to carry around. Also, it lets me type notes quickly in class and chat with friends when needed.

Suggestion: Make your timeline clear and shorten the story to one or two concise sentences. Avoid repetition and use correct terms (e.g., “semicolon,” “full stop”). Add a linking word to show consequence or contrast.

Example: I learned to type when I was 13 after my uncle bought me a laptop. At first it was difficult because punctuation and key positions were new to me, but I kept practicing and improved.

Suggestion: Give a clear structure: state methods you used and provide specific details about them. Remove unfinished sentences and hesitation. Use linking words like “for example” or “also” and be specific about what classes taught you and how often you practiced.

Example: I improved my typing by taking regular typing classes near my home. For example, the classes taught correct finger placement and speed-building exercises, and I practiced daily for 20–30 minutes to build accuracy and speed.

× I prefer riding with hands because I never tried uh till my intermediate.

✓ I prefer typing by hand because I had never tried it until I reached intermediate level.

Errors: 'riding with hands' is incorrect word choice (sentence structure error) and 'never tried till my intermediate' has tense and phrasing issues. Use 'typing by hand' for handwriting, and past perfect 'had never tried' fits because the action occurred before reaching intermediate level; 'until I reached intermediate level' is natural phrasing. Suggestions: replace 'riding with hands' with 'typing by hand' or 'handwriting', use past perfect for prior experience and reorder phrase for clarity.

× After coming to bachelors, it is a mandatory thing to do.

✓ After starting my bachelor's degree, it became mandatory to learn typing.

Errors: awkward phrasing and vague subject; 'bachelors' should be 'bachelor's degree' (article and noun form), and tense should reflect a past change ('became mandatory'). Suggest using explicit subject and proper noun form.

× So after uh then I tried to match it with my umm, typing with the handwriting profession.

✓ So then I tried to combine my typing skills with my handwriting.

Errors: awkward and redundant structure ('match it with my typing with the handwriting profession') and wrong noun choice 'profession'. Use 'combine' and 'typing skills' and 'handwriting' for clarity.

× I usually type on my laptop keyboard because, uh, it's a very far, it's a very convenient way of umm, taking it with me and uh, it is umm, very fast to take a notes and through, uh, to chat with friends.

✓ I usually type on my laptop keyboard because it is very convenient to carry with me, and it is very fast for taking notes and chatting with friends.

Errors: 'a very far' is incorrect collocation; unnecessary article 'a' before 'notes'; incorrect preposition 'to take a notes' and 'through'. Use 'convenient to carry', 'taking notes' (no article), and 'chatting with friends'. Keep tense present simple for habitual action.

× When I was 13 years old my uncle bought me a laptop and he asked me to type something and then I tried to type type my name but unfortunately it's a disaster because I don't know how to type and the semi colons and full stops everything is like new to me but I tried.

✓ When I was 13 years old, my uncle bought me a laptop and asked me to type something, so I tried to type my name, but unfortunately it was a disaster because I did not know how to type; semicolons and full stops were all new to me, but I tried.

Errors: mixed tenses and incorrect present tense 'it's a disaster' and 'I don't know' for a past event. Use past tense ('it was a disaster', 'I did not know', 'were new') to maintain consistent past narrative. Also remove duplicate 'type' and fix punctuation.

× Giving myself time is a prioritized thing for me.

✓ Giving myself time is a priority for me.

Errors: awkward noun phrase 'a prioritized thing'; 'priority' is the correct noun. Use 'Giving myself time is a priority' to express importance.

× In that way. I used to take classes for typing near my home and in that particular class they they'll be teaching me that typing.

✓ In that way, I used to take typing classes near my home, and in that particular class they taught me how to type.

Errors: fragment 'In that way.' and incorrect future continuous 'they'll be teaching me' when referring to past habitual classes. Use 'used to' and past 'taught' and correct clause 'how to type'. Combine fragments into one sentence.

× How fast should I type and what's the correct way of typing.

✓ They taught me how fast I should type and the correct way to type.

Errors: original is a question fragment placed incorrectly and lacks reporting verb agreement; change to reported speech matching past teaching: 'they taught me how fast I should type and the correct way to type.'

× So I improve my typing with the help of.

✓ So I improved my typing with their help.

Errors: incomplete sentence and tense mismatch. The original ends abruptly 'with the help of.' Complete the thought and use past tense 'improved' to match earlier past narration.
