Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons. Avoid repetition and fragments. Use linking words (however, although, because) to connect ideas and correct verb forms and articles.

Example: I prefer handwriting because I wrote by hand throughout high school, so it feels more natural and comfortable. However, since I started university, I often have to type essays and assignments, so I am practising typing more often.

Suggestion: Good direct answer and clear idea. Improve by correcting small grammar and using a linking phrase to add a brief detail. Keep to maximum 3–4 sentences and use precise vocabulary (assignments, daily).

Example: Yes, I do. I use my laptop keyboard almost every day to work on assignments and study. It has become such a habit that I seldom think about the mechanics of typing anymore.

Suggestion: Give a clear time reference and correct tense. Start with a topic sentence indicating when, then add a brief reason and an example. Avoid repetition (very, very) and use precise nouns (assessments, coursework).

Example: I learned to type when I started university two years ago because most of my coursework and assessments require computer submission. Since then, it has become an essential skill for completing assignments efficiently.

Suggestion: Good content—mention specific methods and results. Improve grammar and word choice (practice regularly, mainly by doing coursework and using online typing exercises). Use linking words (for example, as a result) and quantify progress if possible.

Example: I improve my typing by practising regularly, mainly through completing coursework and using online typing exercises. For example, using timed drills has increased my speed and accuracy, so now I can type noticeably faster and make fewer mistakes.

× As a Senior High School students, I definitely prefer handwriting because I writing in school every day and so it's easier for me.

✓ As a senior high school student, I definitely prefer handwriting because I write in school every day, so it's easier for me.

The noun phrase 'students' should be singular to match the singular subject 'I' (singular and plural issue). Also 'writing' after 'I' lacks the auxiliary and should be the present simple 'write' for habitual action. Use lowercase for common nouns. Suggestion: match number between subject and noun (student), and use simple present for habitual actions ('I write').

× But now I'm studying in university now so I have to exercise my typing because of my homework.

✓ But now I'm studying at university, so I have to practice my typing because of my homework.

Use 'at university' rather than 'in university' (preposition choice) and avoid repeating 'now'. 'Exercise my typing' is awkward; 'practice my typing' is correct for improving a skill. Also minor punctuation: add comma before 'so'.

× Need to type on computer.

✓ I need to type on a computer.

This is a sentence without a subject and auxiliary/modal (sentence structure error). Add the subject 'I' and the article 'a' before 'computer'. Use present simple 'need' to express necessity.

× Yes I do, I use my laptop keyboard almost everyday for study and assignment.

✓ Yes, I do. I use my laptop keyboard almost every day for studying and assignments.

Punctuation: separate clauses into sentences. 'Everyday' as adjective vs adverb: 'every day' is correct. 'Study and assignment' should be gerund/plural: 'studying and assignments' to express regular activities (verb form and plural noun).

× It's become such a habit that I hardly think about it anymore.

✓ It has become such a habit that I hardly think about it anymore.

Use present perfect 'has become' to indicate a change from past to present. 'It's' contraction of 'it is' is possible but here 'it has' is intended. Suggest using full form 'it has' or contraction 'it's' only if context clear.

× I just learned it after I study at university because I have to use it to finish my assessment and homework, so it's a very, very useful skill for me.

✓ I learned it after I started studying at university because I had to use it to finish my assessments and homework, so it was a very useful skill for me.

Tense sequence: 'learned' (past) should align with 'after I started studying' (past continuous/started), and reason 'had to use' suits past necessity. 'Assessment' should be plural 'assessments'. Conclude with past 'was' if referring to that time. If speaker means still useful now, use present perfect: 'I learned it when I started studying at university because I have to use it to finish my assessments and homework, so it's a very useful skill for me.'

× I practice regularly, most by doing coursework and using online typing exercise, so now I can tap much faster and more accurately.

✓ I practice regularly, mostly by doing coursework and using online typing exercises, so now I can type much faster and more accurately.

Use 'mostly' (adverb) not 'most'. 'Exercise' should be plural 'exercises'. 'Tap' is informal/incorrect; 'type' is the correct verb. Ensure gerund forms 'doing' and 'using' are parallel. Suggest: 'I practice regularly, mostly by doing coursework and using online typing exercises.'
