Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and grammatical errors (e.g., 'not good at typing', 'my typing speed is slow').

Example: I prefer handwriting. Although I can type, I'm not very fast at it and often have to look for letters, so writing by hand feels quicker and more comfortable for me.

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid unnecessary repetition or addressing the examiner. Use one or two clear sentences: state which device you use and a brief reason. Correct grammar (e.g., 'I only have a laptop' and avoid 'Sir').

Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it's the only computer I own. However, I usually take notes by hand since I find it faster and easier for remembering information.

Suggestion: Give a clear time frame and improve grammar and coherence. Use linking words (e.g., 'then', 'later') and specific details (grade, who taught you). Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Example: I learned to type at school when I was in the fifth grade; our teacher taught us the basics and we practiced in class. Later, after high school, my father bought me a laptop, which gave me more chance to practice at home.

Suggestion: Be specific about the methods and use correct grammar and linking words. Mention one or two concrete strategies (e.g., practice websites, timed exercises) and results if possible. Avoid vague phrases and correct verb forms ('videos show', 'I watched').

Example: At first my teacher guided me, but later I improved by watching online typing tutorials that teach proper finger placement. I also used timed practice exercises on websites to increase my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting because I am not good in typing.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I am not good at typing.

Use 'good at' with skills or activities. 'Good in' is incorrect here. Improve by learning common collocations: 'good at', 'bad at'.

× My speed is not fast in typing, so whenever I use a keypad, I'll look for the letters.

✓ My typing speed is not fast, so whenever I use a keypad, I look for the letters.

The noun phrase order should be 'typing speed'. Also avoid mixing future 'I'll' with a habitual action; use simple present 'I look' for habitual actions.

× So I always prefer handwriting.

✓ So I always prefer handwriting.

Sentence is grammatically correct but repetitive; no change needed. Keep simple present for preferences.

× I have a laptop, so whenever I use it, I use my laptop.

✓ I have a laptop, so whenever I use it, I use the laptop.

Redundant repetition of 'my laptop' after 'it'. Use a pronoun or a definite article to avoid repetition and improve cohesion.

× I don't have any experience with the desktop so I only know about the laptop, but I already tell you I always prefer handwriting.

✓ I don't have any experience with desktop computers, so I only know about laptops, but I already told you I always prefer handwriting.

Use plural 'desktop computers' or 'a desktop' and 'laptops' for general statements. 'Tell' should be past 'told' because the telling happened earlier.

× To make a note Sir.

✓ To take notes, Sir.

The correct collocation is 'take notes' meaning to write notes. Add a comma before 'Sir' as a form of address.

× I learn about typing in my school days.

✓ I learned about typing during my school days.

Use past tense 'learned' for a past action. Use 'during' to indicate the time period and 'school days' as a period.

× I started from my 5th grade, our teacher shows about it to me and I don't have a laptop that time so I only practice in my school time.

✓ I started in fifth grade; our teacher showed it to me, and I didn't have a laptop at that time, so I only practiced at school.

Multiple tense issues: use simple past 'started', 'showed', 'didn't have', 'practiced' for past events. Use 'in fifth grade' (not 'from'), 'showed it to me' (not 'shows about it'), and 'at that time' for a specific past time.

× But when I grew up after my high school, my father bought it a laptop to me.

✓ After I finished high school, my father bought a laptop for me.

'Grew up after my high school' is awkward; use 'after I finished high school'. Word order for 'bought a laptop for me' is correct; do not insert 'it'.

× So in my school days my teacher helped me a lot to learn it.

✓ In my school days my teacher helped me a lot to learn it.

Sentence is fine but remove unnecessary 'So' at start; maintain past tense 'helped' for past events.

× But when I grew up I realized that I have to be fast in my typing so I watch a lot of online video.

✓ But when I grew up I realized that I had to be faster at typing, so I watched a lot of online videos.

Shift to past: 'had to' and 'watched' for past actions. Use comparative 'faster' and the correct preposition 'at typing'. 'Videos' should be plural.

× They shows like a specific finger pattern to improve it.

✓ They showed specific finger patterns to improve it.

Use past tense 'showed' to match 'watched' earlier. 'Shows' is incorrect subject-verb form. Use plural 'patterns' if multiple, and remove 'like' unless giving an example.
