Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (“so”, repeated “prefer”), and use one or two specific examples to support your preference. Use a linking word to contrast your two choices (e.g., “however” or “but”).

Example: I prefer handwriting for quick notes because it’s faster and more convenient in meetings. However, for official documents or long texts I use typing, since it’s neater and easier to edit.

Suggestion: Clarify and correct factual mistakes; be precise and avoid repetition. Give one clear reason and a brief supporting detail. Use correct grammar (e.g., ‘easier’, avoid ‘we can carry anywhere we want’ which fits laptops not desktops).

Example: I usually use a desktop keyboard because I find full-size keys more comfortable and accurate. For portability I use my laptop, but at home I prefer the desktop for longer typing sessions.

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence with a clear time reference, then add a brief detail about how you learned and one benefit. Reduce hesitations and repetitions.

Example: I learned to type when I was about 14 or 15. I practiced on a small home computer using typing lessons, and that early practice has made me much faster and more confident when writing today.

Suggestion: Give a structured answer: state your main method, then give two specific activities and a brief result. Avoid fillers and unclear phrases (e.g., ‘on UH’).

Example: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice. For example, I write emails and articles whenever I have free time, and in college I typed up essays and my thesis, which helped increase my speed and accuracy.

× Well, it depends on what I'm writing.

✓ Well, it depends on what I'm writing.

No change needed; sentence is grammatically correct and fits context.

× If I have to write something quick, so I prefer to write with handwriting, but if I have to do some official notes or something like that, so I prefer the typing.

✓ If I have to write something quickly, I prefer handwriting, but if I have to take official notes, I prefer typing.

Problems: incorrect use of 'so' and adverb form. 'Quick' should be the adverb 'quickly' (Grammar Problem Type 13). Remove redundant 'so' and use noun forms 'handwriting' and 'typing' without articles (Grammar Problem Type 22). 'Do some official notes' is unnatural; use 'take official notes' (Grammar Problem Type 26). Suggestion: use adverbs for verbs and concise verb phrases.

× So it depends on the work that I'm doing.

✓ So it depends on the work I'm doing.

Minor redundancy: omit 'that' for natural spoken English (Grammar Problem Type 26). No tense change needed.

× Uh, actually I have both, but I prefer on a desktop keyboard because desktop keyboard are more easiest and we can carry anywhere we want, but the laptop, uh, keyboard is attached to that.

✓ Uh, actually I have both, but I prefer a desktop keyboard because desktop keyboards are easier and we can carry them anywhere we want, whereas a laptop keyboard is attached to the laptop.

Errors: incorrect preposition 'prefer on' should be 'prefer a' or 'prefer using' (Grammar Problem Type 11). 'Desktop keyboard are' is subject-verb agreement and plural form error; use 'desktop keyboards are' (Grammar Problem Type 1 and 27). 'More easiest' is incorrect comparative; 'easiest' or 'easier' needed; use 'easier' here (Grammar Problem Type 25). 'We can carry anywhere' missing object and pronoun: add 'them' (Grammar Problem Type 12). 'Attached to that' is vague; clarify 'attached to the laptop' (Grammar Problem Type 26).

× So that's why I prefer the, uh, desktop keyboard, uh, because it is very easiest and flexible that where we, wherever we want to use and that's why I prefer, uh, the desktop.

✓ That's why I prefer the desktop keyboard, because it is very easy and flexible to use wherever we want, so I prefer the desktop.

Errors: 'it is very easiest' mixes superlative with 'very' and is ungrammatical; use 'very easy' or 'the easiest' (Grammar Problem Type 25). 'Flexible that where we, wherever we want to use' is ungrammatical word order; use 'flexible to use wherever we want' (Grammar Problem Type 20 and 26). Ensure subject-verb consistency and concise phrasing.

× When I was a teenager, like on 14th or 15 years old, at that time I started to learn typing.

✓ When I was a teenager, around 14 or 15 years old, I started to learn typing.

Problems: incorrect preposition and ordinal use 'on 14th or 15 years old' should be 'around 14 or 15 years old' or 'at 14 or 15 years old' (Grammar Problem Type 11). 'At that time' is redundant with 'when'; remove for concision. Tense 'started' is correct past tense.

× Uh, at that time I had one small computer and where I used to practice and uh, yeah, from there I started to learn.

✓ At that time I had a small computer where I used to practice, and that's where I started to learn.

Errors: unnecessary 'one' before 'small computer' in this context; use 'a small computer' (Grammar Problem Type 22). Misplaced 'where'; combine clauses as 'a computer where I used to practice' (Grammar Problem Type 26). Use 'that's where' for clarity.

× And uh, it is, it is, uh, it is giving me benefit since then.

✓ And it has been benefiting me since then.

Problems: 'it is giving me benefit since then' mixes present continuous with 'since'; use present perfect continuous 'has been benefiting' to show action from past until now (Grammar Problem Type 6 and 9). Also 'giving me benefit' is unnatural; use 'benefiting me'.

× Uh, well, I improve my typing by doing practice a lot.

✓ I improve my typing by practicing a lot.

Use gerund 'practicing' after 'by' to indicate method (Grammar Problem Type 8). 'Doing practice' is nonnative; use 'practicing' or 'doing a lot of practice'.

× Whenever I get free time, I used to write emails or some articles on UH and some, uh, even though uh, when I was in my college, I used to write uh articles and uh, thesis.

✓ Whenever I get free time, I write emails or articles, and when I was in college I used to write articles and a thesis.

Errors: mixing present habitual ('Whenever I get free time') with past habit 'I used to write' is inconsistent; use present tense 'I write' for current habit (Grammar Problem Type 6). 'on UH' unclear; omitted. 'my college' should be 'college' or 'my college' consistently. 'write articles and a thesis' needs article for 'thesis' (Grammar Problem Type 22). Suggest keeping tense consistent and using articles correctly.

× So it, it helped me a lot.

✓ So it helped me a lot.

Main fix: remove filler repetition. Sentence is otherwise correct past tense referring to past action.
