Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (umm, uh), and expand with a specific reason and a brief example. Keep it under five sentences.

Example: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and expressive. For example, when I write a card to a friend I can add small drawings and unique flourishes that reflect my personality.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer, remove repetitions and fillers, and add a specific reason or brief detail about how you use the laptop. Use one or two linking words to connect ideas.

Example: I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I use it for work. For instance, I write emails and reports on my laptop every day, so the built-in keyboard is the most convenient option.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear time reference, avoid long hesitations, and give a concise context or reason why the lesson was memorable. Use one linking phrase to connect ideas.

Example: I learned to type when I was in primary school; I remember taking formal typing lessons. At that time computers were fairly new at my school, so the classes felt special and useful.

Suggestion: Answer directly, remove hesitations, and structure your reply: state methods you used (lessons, practice) and give a specific example of daily practice. Keep within four sentences and use linking words like “also” or “because.”

Example: I improved my typing through a formal lesson that taught me touch-typing. Also, daily practice writing emails and reports has helped me get faster and more accurate over time.

× I usually type on an laptop keyboard.

✓ I usually type on a laptop keyboard.

Use 'a' before words that begin with a consonant sound and 'an' before vowel sounds. 'Laptop' begins with an consonant sound /l/, so 'a laptop' is correct. Replace 'an' with 'a'.

× Umm, well, if I type, I type for my work.

✓ Well, if I type, it is usually for my work.

The original sentence is grammatically awkward. Rephrasing to 'it is usually for my work' clarifies the subject and matches the conditional 'if I type'. Maintain present simple for habitual actions.

× Umm, that's why I use an, uh, laptop keyboard umm, as it is attached to it.

✓ That's why I use a laptop keyboard, as it is attached to the laptop.

The pronoun 'it' is unclear and repetitive. Specify the noun 'laptop' to clarify reference and change 'an' to 'a' before 'laptop'. Avoid ending with a redundant pronoun.

× I don't recall when I learned how to type on the keyboard, but I did remember that I took part in a typing lesson, umm, when I was, uh, in the primary school, umm, at the time, umm, it computer is still quite new to everyone.

✓ I don't recall when I learned to type on the keyboard, but I remember that I took part in a typing lesson when I was in primary school, at a time when computers were still quite new to everyone.

Multiple issues: use 'learned to type' rather than 'learned how to type' for conciseness (both acceptable but adjust for flow), drop 'the' before 'primary school' (no article needed before 'primary school' in this context), and correct grammar 'it computer is' to 'computers were' to match plural and past tense. Use 'were' because 'computers' plural and past state. Remove filler words for clarity.

× I don't recall when I learned how to type on the keyboard, but I did remember that I took part in a typing lesson, umm, when I was, uh, in the primary school, umm, at the time, umm, it computer is still quite new to everyone.

✓ I don't recall when I learned to type on the keyboard, but I remember taking part in a typing lesson when I was in primary school, at a time when computers were still quite new to everyone.

Use consistent tense: present 'don't recall' with past 'remembered' is acceptable, but 'I remember taking part' is more natural. Change 'did remember' to 'remember' and 'took part in' to 'taking part in' to improve flow. Correct 'it computer is' to 'computers were' for plural and past.

× And as I mentioned, I took a typing lesson when I started to type umm which is a very helpful I have learned and even how to blind type.

✓ As I mentioned, I took a typing lesson when I started typing, which was very helpful; I even learned how to touch-type.

Use gerund 'started typing' not 'started to type' for naturalness (both possible). 'Which is a very helpful I have learned' is ungrammatical; change to 'which was very helpful' and 'I even learned' (past tense). 'Blind type' is nonstandard; 'touch-type' is the correct term. Ensure clause punctuation and tense consistency.

× And because I use computer and to write my emails report every day umm by daily use umm the skill.

✓ And because I use a computer to write my emails and reports every day, daily use has improved the skill.

Add the article 'a' before 'computer'. Remove the extra 'and' and fix noun plurality 'emails report' to 'emails and reports'. Reorder to 'use a computer to write...' and express the result: 'daily use has improved the skill' for clarity and correct preposition/structure.
