Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and self-corrections. Use linking words (however, because) to make your answer coherent and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I don't have a strong preference between typing and handwriting; I use both regularly. However, I type more often because my job requires emailing and messaging on a computer and phone. For short notes or personal lists I prefer handwriting because it feels quicker and more personal.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer first and then provide concise, relevant details. Avoid unnecessary procedural description; focus on the key reason. Use linking words like because or so to connect ideas and finish the sentence clearly.

Ejemplo: I type on a desktop keyboard every day. A few years ago my laptop broke, so I started using an external monitor and keyboard for convenience. As a result, I found the desktop setup more comfortable for daily work.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and give a short explanation about how you learned or improved (self-taught, practice). Mention a brief time reference if possible. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and avoid long clauses.

Ejemplo: I never had formal training; I learned to type gradually as a child using computers at school and at home. Over time, regular use at work honed my basic typing skills, even though I never practiced speed drills.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear statement then briefly explain why and give one possible future action. Avoid repeating the same idea. Use linking words such as since or therefore to make reasons clear.

Ejemplo: At the moment I don't actively try to improve my typing because my job only requires light use, so it hasn't been a priority. However, if I needed faster typing in the future, I would try online typing courses or daily practice exercises for 10–15 minutes.

× I feel equally about both things.

✓ I feel the same about both.

The original phrase 'feel equally about both things' is awkward in English. Use 'feel the same about both' to express equal preference. This corrects phrasing and uses appropriate present-tense stative verb usage. Suggestion: use 'feel the same about both' or 'have no preference between the two.'

× I don't particularly prefer one thing over the other and on a daily basis I use both techniques equally.

✓ I don't particularly prefer one over the other, and on a daily basis I use both methods equally.

Replace 'one thing' with 'one' for natural phrasing; 'techniques' is odd for typing/handwriting—'methods' is more appropriate. Maintain present tense and adverb placement: 'use both methods equally.' Suggestion: keep adverbs close to verbs ('use both methods equally').

× But I do use more of a typing on a computer, on a on a or on a phone because of work.

✓ But I do more typing on a computer or on a phone because of work.

Remove unnecessary articles 'a' before uncountable gerund 'typing' and duplicate words. Use 'more typing' instead of 'more of a typing.' Also 'on a on a' is a repetition error. Ensure parallel structure: 'on a computer or on a phone.' Suggestion: say 'I do more typing on a computer or phone.'

× But other than that.

✓ But other than that, I don't have a preference.

Fragment: 'But other than that.' is incomplete; add a clause to complete the sentence. The examiner's context requires a full statement. Suggestion: finish fragments with a main clause.

× I do type on a desktop keyboard on a daily basis because a few years ago my laptop got broke and I had to connect it to an external screen for that to happen.

✓ I type on a desktop keyboard daily because a few years ago my laptop broke and I had to connect it to an external screen.

'Got broke' is incorrect; use the past simple 'broke' for the laptop. 'I do type' is unnecessary emphasis—use 'I type.' Also 'on a daily basis' can be shortened to 'daily.' Remove 'for that to happen' which is redundant. Suggestion: use correct past tense 'broke' and simpler present 'I type.'

× I had to close the lid in order to connect it with the screen.

✓ I had to close the lid in order to connect it to the screen.

Use the correct preposition 'connect to' rather than 'connect with.' The phrase is otherwise grammatical but ensure correct preposition choice. Suggestion: use 'connect it to the screen.'

× So I had to buy an external keyboard for that and.

✓ So I had to buy an external keyboard for that reason.

The original ends with 'and' creating a sentence fragment lacking completion. Replace with a full clause: 'for that reason' or finish the sentence. This fixes sentence structure. Suggestion: avoid leaving sentences trailing with conjunctions.

× I didn't intentionally learn how to type on a keyboard, although it's something I use every day, but my work doesn't require heavy writing or speed skills because all the work I required are very light and I use keyboard just for convenience.

✓ I didn't intentionally learn how to type on a keyboard; although it's something I use every day, my work doesn't require heavy writing or fast typing skills because the work I do is very light, and I use the keyboard just for convenience.

Multiple issues: 'all the work I required are' is incorrect—use present simple 'the work I do is.' 'Speed skills' is unnatural; use 'fast typing skills.' Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct tense after 'didn't.' Replace commas for clarity and combine clauses properly. Suggestion: use 'the work I do is very light' and 'fast typing skills.'

× I'm not interested at the moment in improving the speed or the skills on how to type on a keyboard because my work doesn't require that much or that high level of keyboard skills because I use it on a very light tasks and it will be a waste of time to learn.

✓ I'm not interested at the moment in improving my typing speed or skills because my work doesn't require a high level of keyboard ability; I only use it for very light tasks, so it would be a waste of time to learn.

Original is wordy and has tense/number issues: 'skills on how to type' is awkward—use 'typing speed or skills.' 'That much or that high level' is redundant; use 'a high level.' 'I use it on a very light tasks' has article and plural mismatch—use 'for very light tasks.' Change 'will be' to 'would be' for conditional politeness. Improve sentence flow and subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: simplify to 'improving my typing speed or skills' and use 'would be' for hypothetical outcome.'
