Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid hesitation and unfinished sentences. Also correct minor grammar (e.g., “way faster” → “much faster”; complete thoughts).

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster. For example, when I type I can capture my ideas quickly and edit them easily, which helps me keep correct grammar. Therefore I usually choose a keyboard for schoolwork and notes.

Suggestion: Open with a direct answer then give two clear, linked reasons. Reduce repetition (don’t repeat “laptop” excessively) and fix small grammar and word choice errors (e.g., “a international” → “an international”, “pro table” → “portable”).

Example: I type on a laptop every day. As an international student without a fixed residence, I find a laptop much more convenient and portable than a desktop, so it suits my lifestyle.

Suggestion: Provide a concise, grammatical answer: state age, give one short supporting detail and avoid repetition or unfinished phrases. Use correct verb forms and simplify descriptions for clarity.

Example: I learned to type when I was about ten or eleven after my father bought a computer for our home. He taught me the basics, and I was fascinated that pressing a key would instantly show a letter on the screen.

Suggestion: Good content and clear advice. Make the structure tighter: start with a direct statement, then list one or two specific techniques with linking words. Avoid colloquial fillers like “trust me” in formal test settings.

Example: The best way to improve typing is regular practice. For example, use training sites such as MonkeyType to work through staged exercises, and practise touch-typing by avoiding looking at the keyboard to build speed and accuracy.

× I prefer typing, no doubt because I don't know if this applies to other people, but for me I think way faster than I write.

✓ I prefer typing, no doubt, because I think it is much faster for me than handwriting.

The original mixes tenses and omits necessary verbs and articles. 'I think way faster than I write' lacks the verb 'is' and a clear noun for 'write.' Use present simple consistently: 'I think it is much faster for me than handwriting.' This adds the missing copula 'is', replaces informal 'way' with 'much', and uses the noun 'handwriting' for clarity.

× So when I actually start to write using my hand, the things that I end up writing are not exactly what I have imagined in my mind.

✓ So when I actually start to write by hand, what I end up writing is not exactly what I imagined.

The phrase 'using my hand' is awkward; 'write by hand' is idiomatic. 'The things that I end up writing are' is wordy; use 'what I end up writing is' and simplify tenses: 'imagined' (past) fits because it refers to a prior mental image. This improves concision and natural word order.

× Especially the grammatical sense and the.

✓ Especially the grammatical structure and accuracy.

The original is an incomplete sentence and lacks an object after 'the.' Provide a complete noun phrase such as 'grammatical structure and accuracy' to finish the thought and make the sentence grammatically complete.

× I have a laptop. As I am currently a international student and I do not have a fixed residence, I decided to not buy a desktop and hence use a laptop.

✓ I have a laptop. As I am currently an international student and do not have a fixed residence, I decided not to buy a desktop and therefore use a laptop.

Use 'an' before a vowel sound: 'an international student.' Also 'decided not to buy' is the correct negative infinitive order (not 'decided to not buy'). 'Hence' is formal; 'therefore' is more natural here. Removed redundant 'I' for concise style.

× As a laptop is way more convenient and pro table and a laptop can also be handy.

✓ A laptop is much more convenient and portable, and it can also be handy.

Fix spacing issue 'pro table' to 'portable.' Replace informal 'way' with 'much' and remove the repeated 'a laptop' by using pronoun 'it' to avoid redundancy. This produces natural parallel coordination.

× I believe I was 10 or 11 years old when I first learned typed on the keyboard.

✓ I believe I was 10 or 11 years old when I first learned to type on the keyboard.

'Learned typed' is incorrect combination. Use the infinitive 'learned to type' or 'first typed.' The past tense 'learned' followed by 'to type' is correct: 'learned to type.' This matches the past timeframe.

× This was when my father bought a computer in our household and then taught me how to type.

✓ This was when my father bought a computer for our household and taught me how to type.

Use 'for our household' instead of 'in our household' for natural collocation. 'Then' is unnecessary; simple past sequence is clear without it. This yields a more natural sentence.

× I found it very interesting as how I could press a single button in the keyboard and it would it would appear in the screen.

✓ I found it very interesting how I could press a single key on the keyboard and it would appear on the screen.

Remove extraneous 'as' and duplicate 'it would.' Use 'key' not 'button' for keyboard, and prepositions 'on the keyboard' and 'on the screen' are standard. This corrects tense usage and prepositions for clarity.

× I thought it was so modern at the time.

✓ I thought it was very modern at the time.

'So modern' is informal but acceptable; 'very modern' is slightly more standard. No tense change needed; this is a stylistic improvement for clarity.

× The simplest, the easiest and the most effective way for this is to just type.

✓ The simplest, easiest, and most effective way to do this is just to type.

Use parallel adjective list without repeated 'the' and correct infinitive 'to do this.' This aligns verb form and improves flow.

× There are platforms like Monkey Type where you can go and they will train you accordingly.

✓ There are platforms like Monkey Type where you can practice and they will train you accordingly.

'Go' is odd for an online platform; 'practice' fits context. Preposition 'where you can go' implies physical location; change to verb matching online activity.

× Like there are stages there and you can clear it.

✓ For example, there are stages there and you can clear them.

'Clear it' has pronoun-number mismatch: 'stages' plural so use 'them.' Also begin with 'For example' instead of 'Like' for formal clarity.

× The first step you can start is by typing without looking at the keyboard and trust me, this will significantly improve your typing speed.

✓ The first step is to start by typing without looking at the keyboard, and trust me, this will significantly improve your typing speed.

Use infinitive 'to start' rather than 'you can start is by.' Restructure sentence to place the verb properly. The gerund 'typing' after 'start by' is correct. This corrects awkward clause structure.
