Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and avoid fillers (uh). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting reasons with linking words. Use a slightly wider range of vocabulary (e.g., 'retain' instead of 'remember') and correct small grammatical slips.

Ejemplo: I prefer handwriting because it helps me retain information and focus better. For example, when I take notes by hand I recall details more easily; additionally, I enjoy using different pens and notebooks because they make the process more enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear opening sentence answering the question directly, then give concise supporting details using linking words. Remove hesitations and correct grammar (e.g., 'people call and ask us' and 'we use the computer for most tasks').

Ejemplo: Yes, I type every day at work. As a pharmacy assistant I use the computer to process prescriptions and respond to customer calls, so I spend most of my shift typing and entering data.

Sugerencia: Begin with a direct time reference, avoid repeated hesitations, and combine reason with the action using linking words. Use correct verb forms and phrasing (e.g., 'I enrolled in' not 'enrolled myself to').

Ejemplo: I learned to type after I graduated when I enrolled in a computer class. I did this because I was looking for work and wanted a typing certificate to demonstrate my skills to employers.

Sugerencia: Give a clear, structured answer with specific methods and examples. Avoid vague phrases and hesitations; use linking words (for example, additionally) and be specific about resources or routines.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing by following a daily practice plan and using online tutorials. For example, I practice for 20 minutes each morning on a typing website and watch short YouTube lessons to learn accuracy and speed techniques.

× Personally, I prefer hand, uh, handwriting because it's a kind of unique and when I'm writing with my hand, it helps me remember and concentrate.

✓ Personally, I prefer handwriting because it is kind of unique, and when I write by hand it helps me remember and concentrate.

The phrase 'prefer hand, uh, handwriting' is awkward; 'prefer handwriting' or 'prefer writing by hand' is correct. 'It's a kind of unique' uses 'a' with an adjective that does not need it; use 'kind of unique' without 'a' or 'a kind of unique thing'. 'When I'm writing with my hand' is wordy; use the simple present or progressive appropriately: 'when I write by hand' (habit) or 'when I'm writing by hand' (current action). Use parallel and concise expressions to improve clarity. Suggestion: say 'I prefer handwriting' or 'I prefer writing by hand' and 'when I write by hand it helps me remember and concentrate.'

× And really I enjoy using fancy pens and and notebooks.

✓ I also really enjoy using fancy pens and notebooks.

Duplicate 'and and' is an error; remove the extra 'and'. Starting the sentence with 'And really I enjoy' is informal; use 'I also really enjoy' or 'I really enjoy'. Ensure adverb placement 'really enjoy' (adverb before verb) is natural. Suggestion: use 'I also really enjoy using fancy pens and notebooks.'

× Ah yes, do my job.

✓ Yes, I type for my job.

'Do my job' is a fragment lacking the subject and a clear verb structure in this context. The examiner asked about daily typing; respond with a full sentence 'I type for my job' or 'Yes, I type at work every day.' Keep sentence structure complete with subject and verb. Suggestion: 'Yes, I type for my job.'

× Due to my job I'm using keyboards every day because I'm working as a pharmacy assistant and people call and asking us to refill their prescription and we use the computer every day for everything that we are going to do.

✓ Because of my job, I use keyboards every day. I work as a pharmacy assistant, and people call to ask us to refill their prescriptions, and we use the computer every day for everything we need to do.

Tense and verb forms are inconsistent. 'I'm using keyboards every day' is present continuous but a habitual action should use simple present 'I use'. 'People call and asking us' mixes base form and -ing; use 'people call to ask us' or 'people call and ask us'. 'Their prescription' should be plural 'their prescriptions' or 'a prescription' depending on context. 'Everything that we are going to do' is wordy; 'everything we need to do' is natural. Also add commas and split into clearer sentences. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions and match verb forms: 'I use keyboards every day... people call to ask us to refill their prescriptions.'

× After I graduated, uh, I enrolled myself to a computer class and I, uh, learned how to type, uh, that time because I was looking for a job and I needed to have this kind of skill and certificate to show them that I'm, uh.

✓ After I graduated, I enrolled in a computer class and learned how to type because I was looking for a job and needed to have that skill and a certificate to show them.

Use 'enrolled in' rather than 'enrolled myself to'. Remove filler words. 'I enrolled myself to a computer class' is incorrect preposition; correct is 'enrolled in a computer class'. The clause 'learned how to type, uh, that time' is awkward; 'learned how to type then' or just 'learned how to type' works. 'I needed to have this kind of skill and certificate to show them that I'm, uh.' ends abruptly; use past tense 'needed to have that skill and a certificate to show them.' Keep tense consistent in past narrative. Suggestion: 'After I graduated, I enrolled in a computer class and learned how to type because I was looking for a job and needed that skill and a certificate to show them.'

× For improving typing, we need to have a daily plan, umm, or we can watch YouTube.

✓ To improve typing, we need to have a daily plan, or we can watch YouTube videos.

Use 'to improve' rather than 'for improving' for natural infinitive purpose. 'Watch YouTube' is incomplete; say 'watch YouTube videos' or 'watch videos on YouTube'. Suggestion: 'To improve typing, have a daily plan or watch YouTube videos.'

× There is some kind of small, uh, tips that, uh, they are teaching, uh, that they can help us, uh, to improve our typing.

✓ There are some small tips that teachers share which can help us improve our typing.

'There is' with plural 'tips' is incorrect; use 'There are'. 'Some kind of small tips' is awkward; use 'some small tips' or 'a few small tips'. 'They are teaching that they can help us' is unclear and uses inappropriate pronoun reference; clarify who 'they' are (teachers, videos), or use passive 'are taught' or active 'teachers share'. Also remove extra 'to' before 'improve' in 'help us to improve' (both forms OK, but 'help us improve' is more concise). Keep subject-verb agreement and clear antecedents. Suggestion: 'There are some small tips that can help us improve our typing.'
