Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then briefly give one specific reason and an example. Avoid vague phrasing like “which I like.” Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., “because,” “however,” “for example”).

Example: I generally prefer typing because it is much faster and more efficient for long documents. However, I also value handwriting for personal notes or cards because it feels more thoughtful and unique. For example, I type essays and emails but handwrite birthday cards.

Suggestion: Improve clarity and fluency by using a single clear topic sentence, avoiding hesitations and repetition. Specify which device you use most and give a concise reason or example. Use linking words like “because” or “so” to show cause.

Example: Yes, I type every day, mostly on a laptop because it is portable and convenient for schoolwork. For instance, I used my laptop daily to prepare lesson plans and practice for the computer-based IELTS test.

Suggestion: Be concise and avoid repetition. Give a clear time reference and one supporting detail about how your skill developed. Use linking words (e.g., “and,” “since then”) to show progression.

Example: I learned to type at primary school when we had computer classes and the teacher taught us basic typing. Since then I practiced regularly, so my speed and accuracy gradually improved.

Suggestion: Give a specific, actionable method rather than a general statement. Mention a particular practice technique, frequency, and a measurable goal. Use linking words to structure the answer.

Example: I improve my typing by practising for 20–30 minutes daily using online typing tests to track speed and accuracy. For example, I aim to increase my words-per-minute by 5 every month and focus on accuracy drills for commonly mistyped keys.

× I prefer typing when it comes to saving time, but handwritten makes a personal gesture which I like.

✓ I prefer typing when it comes to saving time, but handwriting makes a personal gesture that I like.

The noun form 'handwriting' should be used rather than the adjective 'handwritten' to contrast with 'typing' (a noun/gerund). Also 'that' is more natural than 'which' in restrictive clauses here. Use 'handwriting' to refer to the act/style of writing by hand.

× Yes, as my IELTS exam was computer based so I practiced every day on computer.

✓ Yes, as my IELTS exam was computer-based, so I practiced on the computer every day.

'computer based' should be hyphenated as the compound adjective 'computer-based' before a noun. Also include the article 'the' before 'computer' when referring to using a specific device. Word order 'on the computer every day' is more natural.

× Along with this uh for my school work to make a lesson plans, I alternately use laptops and computers everyday and type on other.

✓ For my schoolwork and to make lesson plans, I alternate between laptops and desktop computers every day and type on them.

Multiple problems: 'school work' should be 'schoolwork' (one word). 'to make a lesson plans' mixes infinitive and plural; use 'to make lesson plans'. 'alternately use' is awkward; 'alternate between' is correct. 'computers everyday' needs hyphenation? 'every day' is two words. 'type on other' is unclear; use 'type on them' or specify 'desktop computers'. Adjusted sentence structure for clarity and correct pronoun referencing.

× When I was a kid in my school, we had computer lecture in which our teachers taught us to write or to type on the keyboard.

✓ When I was a kid at school, we had computer lessons in which our teachers taught us to write and to type on the keyboard.

Use 'at school' instead of 'in my school' for natural English. 'computer lecture' is incorrect; use 'computer lessons' (plural) or 'a computer class'. Combine 'write and to type' as parallel verbs; 'or' is inappropriate if both were taught. 'lessons' fits the context better.

× And that is how I learned or that is when I learned to type on a keyboard and it just kept on my skill, just kept on growing along.

✓ That is when I learned to type on a keyboard, and my skill just kept improving.

Remove redundant phrasing ('learned or that is when I learned'). 'kept on my skill' is ungrammatical; use 'my skill kept improving' or 'my skills continued to grow'. 'improving' is a natural verb for skill development.

× To be honest, or to improve typing or to improve anything, we need a lot of practice and I think that practicing more and more everyday might result into faster typing and a more structured writing.

✓ To be honest, to improve typing or anything else, we need a lot of practice, and I think that practicing more and more every day will result in faster typing and more structured writing.

Remove redundant 'or'. Use 'anything else' for natural phrasing. 'everyday' should be 'every day' (two words) when it means each day. 'might result into' is incorrect; use 'will result in' or 'may result in' and the correct preposition 'in'. 'a more structured writing' is awkward; use 'more structured writing' without the article.
