Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, give one concise reason for each preference, avoid repetitions and hesitations, and use linking words (however, whereas, because). Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer handwriting for class because it helps me take clearer notes and remember information better. However, when I write essays or articles I prefer typing because I can type quickly and save time.

Suggestion: Respond directly with one clear sentence, then add a specific reason using linking words. Avoid word form errors (economic → economical or cost-effective) and redundant phrases. Keep sentences short and logical.

Example: I usually type on a laptop because I find it more convenient and I’m used to it. Also, since I’m studying abroad and travel often, a laptop is more portable and cost-effective than a desktop.

Suggestion: Give a clear time reference and one or two specific details about how you learned. Avoid vague phrases like “maybe” and incomplete endings. Use linking words such as because or so to connect ideas.

Example: I learned to type around the age of 10 or 11 in primary school because computer classes were mandatory in Taiwan. There we practiced touch-typing with exercises and simple typing tests, which helped me increase my speed.

Suggestion: Structure the answer: start with a topic sentence, then give 2–3 specific methods you use to improve (classes, games, competitions) with linking words (for example, also, additionally). Remove fillers and correct verb forms.

Example: I improve my typing in several ways. For example, I practice regularly in computer class and I use typing games to build speed. Additionally, my mother and I have friendly typing competitions where we type words from newspapers to make practice fun.

× handwriting makes me feel like I am taking notes.

✓ handwriting makes me feel like I am taking notes.

No grammatical change needed. The sentence correctly uses the present continuous 'am taking' to describe the feeling during class. (Kept for completeness; no error matching the provided list was found.)

× it it makes me I oh because I type really fast and it can save my time.

✓ it makes me... I type really fast and it saves me time.

Removed duplicate 'it' and filler 'oh'; corrected verb form 'can save' to 'saves' for more natural simple present when stating a general result. Third person singular subject 'it' requires the verb 'saves' with an -s. Also streamlined phrasing for clarity.

× I prefer to use laptop keyboard because I am more used to my laptop and desktop is not that convenient for me.

✓ I prefer to use a laptop keyboard because I am more used to my laptop, and a desktop is not that convenient for me.

Added the article 'a' before 'laptop keyboard' and 'desktop' to form correct noun phrases. Also added a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. The error is using nouns without necessary articles.

× Since I'm staying traveling aboard and studying abroad, it is not economic economical friendly for me to use a desktop.

✓ Since I'm studying abroad and traveling, it is not economical for me to use a desktop.

Reordered and corrected word choice: 'studying abroad' and 'traveling' are clearer; removed redundant 'staying'. Use 'economical' instead of 'economic' or the duplicate 'economical friendly'. 'Economical for me' is the correct adjective form to describe cost-effectiveness.

× I remember that I learned when I was maybe in primary school, like 10 or 11 years old, because computer class is a mandatory class for us in Taiwan.

✓ I remember learning when I was maybe in primary school, around 10 or 11 years old, because computer class was a mandatory subject for us in Taiwan.

Use 'remember learning' (gerund) to report a past memory smoothly. Change 'is' to 'was' because the speaker refers to a past situation (primary school). Replace 'class' with 'subject' for natural collocation; 'mandatory subject' fits better.

× And that's when I learned how to type and how to type fast.

✓ And that's when I learned how to type and how to type quickly.

Replace adverbial form 'fast' with 'quickly' for more formal correctness when modifying the verb 'to type'. The sentence otherwise uses past tense correctly.

× I learned by typing the word.

✓ I learned by typing words.

Singular 'the word' is unclear; general practice should be expressed with plural 'words'. The construction 'learned by typing words' clearly indicates the method of practice.

× I improved by typing in class as I mentioned and also buy games and like after school my mom will we will have a competition of typing together and we will type the words on the newspapers.

✓ I improved by typing in class, as I mentioned, and by playing typing games. After school my mom and I would have typing competitions, and we would type words from the newspapers.

Several corrections: use parallel gerund phrases 'by typing' and 'by playing' for consistency; change 'buy games' to 'playing typing games' to express practice method; correct awkward construction 'my mom will we will' to 'my mom and I would' (past habitual action) which fits the narrative of past practice; use 'type words from the newspapers' for natural phrasing. Verb forms adjusted to past habitual 'would' to match context.
