Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct and organized: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference or say you have no strong preference, then give 1–2 specific reasons using linking words. Avoid hesitation words and fix grammar (verb forms, articles, plurals). Keep to a maximum of 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I don't have a strong preference because both methods are useful. For long documents I prefer typing since I can type quickly and edit easily. However, I often handwrite notes when I need to brainstorm because handwriting helps me think more clearly.

Sugerencia: Answer directly which device you use and give a brief reason. Correct unclear phrases and vocabulary (e.g. 'left keyboard' and 'OP' are incorrect). Use linking words and 2–3 concise sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day. I work as an editor, so I regularly write and revise articles. Because of my job I spend several hours typing each day.

Sugerencia: Use the correct past tense and clear time expression. Give a specific age or school year and a concise reason. Avoid awkward phrasing like 'very earlier' — say 'earlier than others'. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I learned to type when I was in the third year of junior high school, around age 15. My father liked computers and bought one earlier than most families, so I had the chance to practice at home.

Sugerencia: Be specific and use correct verbs and spelling (typing, start). Describe concrete activities and a clear sequence using linking words (for example, in addition, finally). Limit to 2–3 clear sentences with correct grammar.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing by practising regularly, for example by sending emails to my online friends and participating in forums. In addition, I created my own homepage last year, which gave me extra practice editing and typing content.

× But I can't choose because typing is very useful and I can type really fast too.

✓ But I can't choose because typing is very useful and I can type really fast too.

No change needed. The sentence correctly uses first person 'I' and 'can type' is appropriate for all persons; there is no third person singular error here.

× So I when I want to write a longer sentences I prefer writing, but handwriting is better for thinking.

✓ So when I want to write a longer sentence, I prefer typing, but handwriting is better for thinking.

Multiple issues: wrong word order ('So I when' should be 'So when I'), plural noun form ('a longer sentences' should be singular 'a longer sentence'), and word choice ('prefer writing' is vague—context indicates 'typing' contrasts with 'handwriting'). Fix by reordering words to follow standard clause order, use singular for 'a' + noun, and use consistent terms.

× Yes, of course I type on my left keyboard every day.

✓ Yes, of course I type on my laptop keyboard every day.

The original 'on my left keyboard' is unclear and likely a preposition/word choice error. Use 'on' correctly with 'keyboard', but specify a common device such as 'laptop keyboard' to make sense. If the student meant the left-hand side keys, they should say 'with my left hand,' but context implies device type.

× I am an editor so I have to write a lot of documents or articles, so I OP type something every day.

✓ I am an editor, so I have to write a lot of documents and articles, so I often type something every day.

Problems: missing comma before coordinating conjunction, awkward 'or' between 'documents' and 'articles' (use 'and'), and 'OP' appears to be a typo for 'often'. Correct punctuation and replace typo for clarity.

× I have learned how to type on a keyboard while I was a junior in junior high school.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was a junior in junior high school.

When referring to a specific past time ('when I was a junior'), use simple past ('learned') rather than present perfect ('have learned'). Also use 'when' for time clauses rather than 'while' for a completed action.

× My father really liked the computer, so he bought very earlier than other people so I could learn how to type.

✓ My father liked computers, so he bought one much earlier than other people, and I could learn how to type.

Issues: 'the computer' should be general 'computers' or 'one', 'bought very earlier' is ungrammatical—use 'much earlier' or 'earlier than others', and run-on sentence: split with 'and'. Also 'liked the computer' changed to 'liked computers' for natural phrasing.

× I improve my topping by texting a lot of things.

✓ I improve my typing by texting a lot.

Spelling error: 'topping' should be 'typing'. 'Texting a lot of things' is awkward; say 'texting a lot' or 'sending many texts' to be natural and concise.

× For example, I send you many emails to my Internet friends and I finally start starting to my own home page.

✓ For example, I send many emails to my internet friends and I eventually started my own homepage.

Problems: 'send you many emails to my Internet friends' has wrong object/pronoun—remove 'you' unless addressing the examiner; 'Internet' can be lowercased as 'internet' in general use. 'I finally start starting to my own home page' has incorrect verb forms and preposition—use 'eventually started my own homepage' (simple past for a finished action). Ensure verbs match the time frame.
