Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Correct pronunciation and word choice errors, shorten and clarify sentences, and use linking words for coherence. Begin with a clear topic sentence (state preference), then briefly give one or two specific reasons using linking words (e.g., "because", "however"). Avoid spelling mistakes and informal fragments.

Ejemplo: I prefer typing because it is much faster and more efficient for everyday tasks. However, I still handwrite when setting personal goals because handwriting feels more personal and helps me reflect.

Sugerencia: Fix grammar and vocabulary errors, keep sentences concise, and use linking words to connect ideas. State the fact first, then give one clear reason and a short contrast if needed. Avoid unclear phrases and incorrect collocations.

Ejemplo: I use a laptop keyboard every day because my job requires me to be mobile. I have become so used to the laptop's flat keys that using a desktop keyboard now feels unfamiliar.

Sugerencia: Correct number words and verb choices, and provide clearer, more natural descriptions. Start with a direct time reference, then describe how you learned using specific details and a linking word like "because" or "and".

Ejemplo: I learned to type at about ten years old in primary school. We had basic computer classes where the teacher showed us touch typing, which was challenging at first but improved with practice.

Sugerencia: Combine short fragments into complete sentences, correct word choice and spelling, and add a specific example of a practice method. Use linking words such as "and" or "also" to connect ideas and be specific about frequency or tools.

Ejemplo: I improve my typing mainly by writing daily at work and chatting with friends online. I also use free online typing exercises, such as timed tests and lessons, a few times a week to increase my speed and accuracy.

× I definitely lean towards timing, it's simply much faster and more efficient for my daily tasks.

✓ I definitely lean towards typing; it's simply much faster and more efficient for my daily tasks.

The word 'timing' is a spelling/word choice error; the intended word is 'typing'. This is a sentence structure/word choice mistake that changes meaning. Replace 'timing' with 'typing' and join clauses correctly with a semicolon or separate into two sentences for clarity.

× However, I still enjoy handwriting when I want to talk down personal goals.

✓ However, I still enjoy handwriting when I want to jot down personal goals.

The phrase 'talk down personal goals' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'jot down' meaning to write briefly. This is a sentence structure/word choice error. Use 'jot down' to convey writing notes, and keep tense consistent.

× Alternate as it feels more personal.

✓ Alternatively, it feels more personal.

'Alternate as' is incorrect word order and wrong word form. Use the adverb 'Alternatively' or a clause like 'I prefer it alternatively because it feels more personal.' This corrects sentence structure and word form.

× I type on a laptop keyboard every single day.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every single day.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. It matches the present simple tense for habitual action and subject-verb agreement is correct.

× Since my work requires me to be mobile, having a laptop and is incredibly convenient.

✓ Since my work requires me to be mobile, having a laptop is incredibly convenient.

Extra conjunction 'and' is incorrect and breaks sentence structure. Remove 'and' to make a grammatically correct clause linking cause and effect.

× I wrote so used to its flat keyboard that desktop wants now feel a big bouquet to.

✓ I became so used to its flat keyboard that desktop keyboards now feel very awkward to me.

This sentence has multiple errors: 'I wrote' should be 'I became' or 'I got', 'desktop wants' should be 'desktop keyboards', and 'feel a big bouquet to' is meaningless. The corrected version uses proper past tense 'became' for habituation and correct nouns and adjective 'awkward' to express contrast.

× I first learned it back in primary school when I was around 10 users.

✓ I first learned it back in primary school when I was around 10 years old.

Using 'users' is a wrong word choice; the correct phrase is 'years old' to indicate age. This is a past tense narrative so 'learned' is correct; replace 'users' with 'years old'.

× We hacked basis computer classes where the teachers saw us how to do tucked typing without looking at the keys, which were quite challenging at first.

✓ We had basic computer classes where the teachers showed us how to touch-type without looking at the keys, which was quite challenging at first.

Many word choices and structures are wrong: 'hacked basis' -> 'had basic', 'saw us how' -> 'showed us how', 'tucked typing' -> 'touch-type', and agreement 'which was' since 'touch-typing' (the activity) was challenging. Correct these to standard English and maintain past tense.

× Mostly through daily writing at work and chatting with friends online.

✓ I improve mostly through daily writing at work and chatting with friends online.

Original fragment lacks a clear subject and verb (sentence without a verb). Add 'I improve' to form a complete present-tense sentence describing habitual improvement.

× Occasionally I also use free online taping texts to challenge myself and boost my typing speed.

✓ Occasionally I also use free online typing tests to challenge myself and boost my typing speed.

'taping texts' is incorrect; intended phrase is 'typing tests'. This is a word choice/spelling error. Keep verb tense consistent and correct the noun phrase.

× And are crazies.

✓ And sometimes I practice crazy speed drills.

'And are crazies' is ungrammatical and unclear. It lacks subject-verb agreement and uses wrong words. Provide a clear, grammatical alternative that fits context; here 'sometimes I practice crazy speed drills' conveys the intended meaning of doing intense practice occasionally.
