Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your response simply repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. Give a clear direct answer (topic sentence), then add one or two brief supporting details using linking words. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s faster and easier to edit. For example, when I write essays or emails I can correct mistakes quickly, and I can type much more quickly than I can write by hand.

Suggestion: Again you repeated the question rather than answering. State which device you use daily, then give a reason and a short detail. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I need to work while travelling. As a result, I find a laptop more convenient than a desktop for my routine.

Suggestion: You should answer with a specific time or age and then add a brief supporting detail. Use linking words like 'when' or 'so' to make it coherent. Keep it concise and natural.

Example: I learned to type when I was about ten years old at primary school. At the time we had a computer class, so I practiced regularly and gradually got faster.

Suggestion: Your reply repeated the question and contained a small grammatical error ('my' instead of 'you' or speaking about yourself). Answer with concrete methods you use to improve typing, include linking words and a short example of practice or result.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing with online typing tests and using touch-typing lessons. For instance, I do a 20-minute practice session three times a week, so my speed and accuracy have increased.
