Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and give one or two specific reasons or an example. Use linking words (however, although) correctly and limit to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s faster and easier to edit. However, when I feel bored or stressed, I sometimes write in a notebook because it helps me relax and think more clearly.

Sugerencia: Give a direct topic sentence and avoid informal phrases like “a piece of cake.” Correct grammar (word order) and use concise linking words. Provide one specific example of how portability helps you.

Ejemplo: I usually type on a laptop because it’s portable and convenient. For example, I can work in cafés or at university without carrying heavy equipment, which saves time and makes studying easier.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear time reference and correct grammar (e.g., “when I was younger”). Provide a concise reason and a brief specific detail (what you practised). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I learned to type when I was a child, around 10 years old. I practised on a small laptop at home to type school assignments, which helped me become more accurate and faster.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence, avoid clichés, and be specific about methods and results. Use linking words to organize points and limit to 3–4 sentences. Mention measurable progress or tools you use.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing by doing focused practice every day. For example, I use online typing tests and aim for 50 words per minute while focusing on accuracy; as a result, my speed and error rate have steadily improved.

× due to the advancement of the technology, I prefer typing instead of handwriting.

✓ due to the advancement of technology, I prefer typing instead of handwriting.

Use of the definite article 'the' before uncountable nouns like 'technology' is unnecessary when speaking generally. Remove 'the' to make the phrase natural: 'advancement of technology'. Suggestion: say 'due to the advancement of technology' or 'because of advances in technology'.

× if I am feeling monotonous and in order to mitigate my stress level, sometimes I also keep on writing on a notebook.

✓ if I am feeling bored and to reduce my stress, sometimes I write in a notebook.

'Feeling monotonous' is unnatural; use 'feeling bored'. 'Keep on writing on a notebook' is awkward: 'keep on' is unnecessary and 'on a notebook' should be 'in a notebook'. 'In order to mitigate my stress level' is wordy; 'to reduce my stress' is clearer. Suggest using simpler, natural phrases and correct preposition 'in'. Related problems: incorrect use of prepositions (use 'in' not 'on') and sentence structure improvement.

× it doesn't matter where are we are and it's convenient and it's a piece of cake to use it.

✓ it doesn't matter where we are; it's convenient and a piece of cake to use.

Word order in embedded clauses should be declarative: 'where we are', not 'where are we are'. Remove the duplicated 'are'. Also combine clauses correctly with a semicolon or conjunction. 'It's a piece of cake to use' is fine but 'it's convenient and a piece of cake to use' is more concise.

× Well, back in the day in my younger I learned how to type on a keyboard because I had a very small laptop in my home and I used to practice for my study purposes like to make assignment.

✓ Well, back in the day when I was younger, I learned how to type on a keyboard because I had a very small laptop at home and I used to practice for my studies, for example to make assignments.

Multiple issues: 'in my younger' is incorrect — use 'when I was younger'. 'In my home' is better as 'at home'. 'Study purposes' should be 'studies' and 'to make assignment' should be 'to make assignments' (plural). Also add commas and connectives for clarity. This addresses tense context and pluralization.

× I improve my typing by practicing a lot.

✓ I improve my typing by practicing a lot.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable in present simple describing a habitual action; no change needed. Keep present simple for routines. (Included to acknowledge correctness.)

× I would argue that practice makes a man perfect and if we practice a lot, we can definitely improve our typing speed.

✓ I would argue that practice makes a person perfect, and if we practice a lot, we can definitely improve our typing speed.

The idiom 'practice makes perfect' is common; 'practice makes a man perfect' is archaic and gender-specific. Replace 'a man' with 'a person' or better yet use the set phrase 'practice makes perfect'. Also add a comma before 'and' for compound sentence clarity.

× And moreover, I try to write 50 words in a minute.

✓ Moreover, I try to write 50 words per minute.

'And moreover' is redundant; choose one connective. 'In a minute' is understandable but 'per minute' is a standard collocation for speed. Also avoid starting the sentence with 'And' in formal speech.
