Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh), correct slight wording issues ("used to write" not "do writing"), and add one brief specific reason or example. Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting. I learned to type at school, and now I find it much faster and neater, especially when I need to edit documents or share them online.

Sugerencia: Give a direct topic sentence, fix grammar ("every day" vs "everyday"), remove redundancy, and use a linking phrase to expand with a specific reason. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I type on my laptop every day because I don't own a desktop. Laptops are easier to carry, so I can work from different places like cafés or the library.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear time statement, correct grammar ("learned to type at around 14" and remove "to" after "made me"), and add a brief specific detail about how you learned (class, software). Use a linking word to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: I learned to type at around 14, when computers became common in China. My school offered a typing class, and my parents encouraged me to practice regularly on a typing program.

Sugerencia: Provide a clearer structure: state the main method, then give specific actions and use linking words. Remove fillers and correct grammar ("encouragement" not "encourages"). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I improved my typing mainly through regular practice. Specifically, I attended a school typing class and spent time each day doing online typing exercises, while my parents encouraged me to keep improving.

× I prefer typing.

✓ I prefer typing.

No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct and matches the present preference context.

× When I was a kid, I used to do writing because computers at that time were not as popular as today.

✓ When I was a kid, I used to write because computers at that time were not as popular as they are today.

The phrase 'do writing' is unidiomatic; use the simple verb 'write'. Also add the present tense 'they are' to compare past and present; this fixes a present tense/comparison reference. Use 'they are today' or 'they are now' for clarity.

× However, after a short period of getting used to typing in computers, uh, it's more efficient.

✓ However, after a short period of getting used to typing on computers, it became more efficient.

Preposition: use 'on computers' not 'in computers' (incorrect preposition). Also keep tense consistent: the student refers to a change in the past, so use past tense 'became' rather than present 'is'. This addresses both preposition and tense issues.

× I type on my laptop everyday because I don't have a desktop.

✓ I type on my laptop every day because I don't have a desktop.

Two issues: 'everyday' is an adjective meaning common or routine; the adverbial phrase should be 'every day' (two words). Sentence otherwise is correct.

× Actually I think laptops are more convenient easily to carry.

✓ Actually, I think laptops are more convenient and easy to carry.

Word order and choice: 'convenient easily to carry' is incorrect. Use 'convenient and easy to carry' or 'easier to carry'. Also add a comma after 'Actually' for natural pacing. This fixes incorrect adjective/adverb placement and conjunction usage.

× I learned typing at around 14 years old, during a period when computers gained popularity in China.

✓ I learned to type at around 14 years old, during a period when computers were gaining popularity in China.

Use the infinitive 'learned to type' rather than 'learned typing' for natural English. Also 'gained popularity' is acceptable but 'were gaining popularity' better matches the ongoing nature of the period (past continuous). This fixes verb form and tense nuance.

× The teachers and parents took computers seriously and made me to learn typing.

✓ The teachers and parents took computers seriously and made me learn to type.

Do not use 'to' after 'made' in causative constructions: use 'made me learn'. Also use 'learn to type' (infinitive) rather than 'learn typing'. This corrects misuse of verb forms and unnecessary 'to'.

× Practice makes it perfect.

✓ Practice makes perfect.

Standard idiom is 'practice makes perfect' without 'it'. 'Practice makes it perfect' is unidiomatic.

× I did a lot of practice, uh, with uh, encourages from my parents and uh, the typing class offered by the school.

✓ I did a lot of practice, with encouragement from my parents and the typing class offered by the school.

Use the noun 'encouragement' instead of the incorrect plural verb form 'encourages'. Remove filler 'uh' in formal correction. The rest of the sentence is fine; this fixes incorrect word choice/part of speech.
