Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is natural and gives a clear preference with a reason, but it can be more concise and avoid fillers (e.g., "That's an interesting question"). Improve coherence by using a linking phrase to introduce the reason and give a brief specific example of when handwriting helps you. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer handwriting rather than typing because writing by hand helps me process and remember information more deeply. For example, when I take handwritten notes during lectures I recall concepts better than when I type them.

Sugerencia: Your answer addresses the question and gives examples, but it contains an odd word choice ('caves') and slightly awkward structure. Improve by stating directly which device you mainly use, then provide 1–2 clear examples of tasks and where you work. Avoid humorous or unclear metaphors unless explained.

Ejemplo: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it lets me work flexibly. For example, I write reports and send emails on my laptop, whether I'm at home or studying in the library.

Sugerencia: You answered the question and gave background, but the answer is long-winded and contains informal phrasing ('guys') and incomplete ending. Make it concise: give the time (age or school level) and briefly explain how you learned, using correct grammar and a complete sentence or two.

Ejemplo: I learned to type in primary school, when I was about seven or eight, because Chinese primary schools include basic computer classes. Those lessons taught us typing and other fundamental computer skills.

Sugerencia: Your reply is honest and explains your method, but it includes hesitation and could give more concrete improvement strategies. Remove fillers, state clearly whether you practice deliberately, and mention one or two specific techniques (timed exercises, online tutors, or regular touch-typing practice) to sound proactive.

Ejemplo: I mostly improved through regular use, but I also practice touch-typing by doing short daily exercises. For instance, I spend ten minutes a day on an online typing tutor to improve speed and accuracy.

× 'I prefer handwriting because when I handwrite I process the information more consciously, but when I'm typing I may lose focus.'

✓ 'I prefer handwriting because when I handwrite I process information more consciously, but when I type I may lose focus.'

'typing' is a gerund or present participle form used inconsistently with 'handwrite' and 'type' simple present verbs; use parallel simple present forms 'handwrite' and 'type' for habitual actions. Also remove the before 'information' since it is uncountable in this context.

× 'For example, I send emails and write reports and have a laptop let me work from different places like libraries and caves.'

✓ 'For example, I send emails and write reports, and having a laptop lets me work from different places like libraries and cafes.'

'have a laptop let me' is ungrammatical; use a gerund clause 'having a laptop' and correct verb agreement 'lets' for singular subject 'having a laptop'. Also 'caves' is unlikely contextually; 'cafes' is likely intended. Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction for clarity.

× 'I learned how to type on the keyboard at very young age and guys, it was in primary school because in China primary schools offer specific computer classes and we can learn computer skills, including typing at an early.'

✓ 'I learned how to type on the keyboard at a very young age; it was in primary school because in China primary schools offered specific computer classes and we could learn computer skills, including typing, at an early age.'

'at very young age' needs the article 'a'. The sentence mixes past and present tenses; since the speaker describes past events, change 'offer' and 'can' to past forms 'offered' and 'could'. Also add 'age' after 'early' and commas for clarity. Remove colloquial 'and guys' for formality and flow.

× 'Well, I didn't practice on purpose because I think my typing improves naturally.'

✓ 'Well, I didn't practice on purpose because I think my typing improves naturally over time.'

The original is mostly correct but lacks clarity about when improvement occurs; add 'over time' to clarify ongoing present-tense improvement. Keep 'didn't practice' (past) to refer to prior deliberate practice and 'think...improves' (present) for a general belief.

× 'If I really had to say, I sometimes type without looking at the keyboard and this gives me confidence to type.'

✓ 'If I had to say, I sometimes type without looking at the keyboard, and this gives me confidence when typing.'

'If I really had to say' is wordy; 'If I had to say' is more natural. Replace the second 'to type' with 'when typing' to avoid repetition and use the gerund form correctly to refer to the action in general.
