Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and add one specific reason or brief example. Limit to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words if giving multiple points.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. It helps me write more quickly and neatly, for example when I draft reports for work I can edit and reorganize text much faster.

Suggestion: Avoid small grammatical errors and repetition. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples using linking words such as “for example” or “mainly” to make it coherent. Keep it within 3 sentences.

Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day. I’ve had this laptop for a few years and mainly use it for work-related tasks, for example writing reports and editing pages for advertisements.

Suggestion: Finish sentences and avoid small grammar mistakes. Use one clear topic sentence stating the time, then briefly expand with a specific detail and a linking word. Keep to 2–3 sentences and correct article/noun use.

Example: I learned to type in grade 3 at primary school. My computer teacher showed us basic key positions and useful shortcuts, and with regular practice I gradually became faster.

Suggestion: Be specific and concise: state your main method, give a clear example of practice, and avoid repetition or unfinished sentences. Use linking words like “by” and “so” correctly, and limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I improve my typing by practising with timed typing tests every day to build speed and accuracy. I also practice multitasking by typing while monitoring emails, which helps me keep up when I have several tasks to finish.

× I definitely prefer typing over handwriting it.

✓ I definitely prefer typing to handwriting.

The pronoun 'it' is unnecessary and incorrect after 'handwriting'. The correct structure is 'prefer A to B'. Remove 'it' and use 'to' for comparison.

× For me, I write better when I type and it is more efficient to me than handwriting.

✓ For me, I write better when I type, and it is more efficient than handwriting.

The phrase 'to me' is redundant after 'For me' and 'more efficient than' is the correct comparative structure. Remove the repeated reference to the speaker and use 'more efficient than' to compare.

× I type on a laptop the keyboard every day.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day.

The words 'laptop' and 'keyboard' should be adjacent as a compound noun 'laptop keyboard'. The original word order 'laptop the keyboard' is incorrect; remove the extra article 'the' and place nouns together.

× I've had it for a few years now and I use it on a variety of on on a wide range of activities such as managing my work and editing my advertisement pages.

✓ I've had it for a few years now, and I use it for a wide range of activities such as managing my work and editing my advertisement pages.

There is a duplicated 'on' and awkward phrasing 'a variety of on on a wide range'. Use 'for a wide range of activities' or 'for a variety of activities'. Also add a comma before 'and' to join two independent clauses.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in grade school, particularly in grade 3.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in grade school, particularly in grade 3.

No grammatical correction needed; sentence is acceptable. (No change required.)

× My computer teacher taught me how to navigate keyboard and how to use shortcuts.

✓ My computer teacher taught me how to navigate the keyboard and how to use shortcuts.

The noun 'keyboard' needs the definite article 'the' because it refers to the specific keyboard used in class. Add 'the' to make the phrase grammatically correct.

× I learned how to type faster over time and I.

✓ I learned how to type faster over time.

The original sentence ends with an incomplete clause 'and I.' which lacks a verb or completion. Remove the dangling 'and I' to form a complete sentence or complete the clause with additional information.

× I improve my typing by regularly doing a lot of typing tests every day.

✓ I improve my typing by regularly taking a lot of typing tests every day.

Use 'taking tests' rather than 'doing tests' for natural collocation. Also 'regularly' and 'every day' are slightly redundant but acceptable together; keep both if emphasis on frequency is intended.

× Gradually I I learned how to type fast when there are simultaneous tasks that are expected of me and I have to deliver.

✓ Gradually I learned how to type quickly when there are simultaneous tasks expected of me that I have to complete.

Remove the duplicated 'I'. Use 'quickly' rather than 'fast' as an adverb modifying 'type'. 'Have to deliver' is awkward; use 'have to complete' or 'have to finish' for tasks. Reorder phrases for clarity.

× So I learned how to improve my type. How?

✓ So I learned how to improve my typing.

The noun 'type' is incorrect; use the gerund 'typing'. The fragment 'How?' is unnecessary in this context; integrate any follow-up as a complete question if needed.
