Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Good direct response with clear reasons and personal detail. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid redundancy, use a linking phrase and add one specific example to support the memory claim. Aim for 3–4 concise sentences, and avoid repeating similar ideas (e.g., “personal and unique” together).

Ejemplo: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and helps me remember information better. For example, when I take lecture notes by hand I recall key points more easily during revision. Also, I take pride in neat handwriting when I write letters to friends, which makes the practice enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Answer is relevant but has a small mistake (says 'full size laptop' when meaning 'full-size desktop' or 'full-size keyboard'). Be precise with vocabulary. Use a linking word to contrast and compress into 2–3 sentences. Provide a brief specific example of tasks done on each device.

Ejemplo: I mainly type on my desktop at work because the full-size keyboard and multiple monitors are ideal for data analysis. However, when I study at the library I use my laptop because it’s lightweight and easy to carry.

Sugerencia: Clear timeline and supporting details — well done. To improve, tighten phrasing and avoid listing too many general items. Use one linking phrase and a brief specific outcome (e.g., typing speed or a task you could do afterwards).

Ejemplo: I learned to type in Grade 7 after my dad bought me a laptop. We had Saturday computer lessons where I practiced typing and using Microsoft Word, and within a few months I could type accurately enough to write school reports quickly.

Sugerencia: Good variety of practice methods but delivery is repetitive and contains filler words (‘uh’, repeated 'and I also'). Make sentences concise, remove fillers, and use linking words to organize methods (e.g., 'for example', 'also'). Give one measurable goal (speed or accuracy) or a structured practice routine to show progress.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing with daily practice: for example, I write short stories to practice longer passages and I text and email friends to work on speed. I also use a typing trainer twice a week to increase my speed to 60 words per minute.

× I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and unique, and I find that writing notes by hand helps me remember information better than typing.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and unique, and I find that writing notes by hand helps me remember information better than typing.

No grammatical correction needed; sentence is correct. Keep adjective/adverb use as is.

× I also enjoy practicing my script and sometimes take pride in my neat handwriting, especially when I write letters or study notes.

✓ I also enjoy practicing my script and sometimes take pride in my neat handwriting, especially when I write letters or study notes.

Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed.

× I type on my desktop keyboard every day because my office setup and work software are best suited to a full size laptop.

✓ I type on my desktop keyboard every day because my office setup and work software are best suited to a full-size desktop.

Original sentence confused 'desktop keyboard' with 'full size laptop.' The phrase 'full size' should be hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before a noun ('full-size'). Also 'laptop' contradicts 'desktop keyboard'; context suggests 'desktop' is intended. Change to 'desktop' to resolve singular/plural and noun choice clarity.

× However, when I'm studying or working away from home, I prefer my laptop because it is more convenient and portable.

✓ However, when I'm studying or working away from home, I prefer my laptop because it is more convenient and portable.

Sentence is correct; no grammatical change is needed.

× I first learned how to type in Grade 7 when my dad bought me my first laptop at school.

✓ I first learned how to type in Grade 7 when my dad bought me my first laptop for school.

Use 'for school' instead of 'at school' because the laptop was a gift intended for school use. The past tense 'bought' is correct.

× We also had computer lessons every Saturday, and during those classes I practiced typing exercises and basic word processing using applications such as Microsoft Word, which helped me improve quickly.

✓ We also had computer lessons every Saturday, and during those classes I practiced typing exercises and basic word processing using applications such as Microsoft Word, which helped me improve quickly.

Sentence is grammatically correct; tense usage is appropriate (past events). No correction needed.

× I improve my typing by practicing every day.

✓ I improve my typing by practicing every day.

Correct present simple usage for habitual action; no change needed.

× I practice by writing short stories, either fiction or uh, about the daily life like news.

✓ I practice by writing short stories, either fiction or non-fiction, about daily life or current events.

Original contains a filler 'uh' and unclear phrase 'about the daily life like news.' Replace filler with 'non-fiction' to pair with 'fiction' and clarify 'daily life or current events.' This fixes sentence structure and meaning.

× And I also practice typing by texting my friends on applications such as WhatsApp on my mobile phone.

✓ I also practice typing by texting my friends using applications such as WhatsApp on my mobile phone.

Prefer 'using' rather than 'on' when referring to applications; using 'I also' once at start is more natural than multiple 'And I also.' Preposition change improves clarity.

× And I also practice by sending emails to people.

✓ I also practice by sending emails to people.

Remove leading 'And' for formal speech and redundancy. Sentence is otherwise correct; present continuous/habit expressed correctly.
