Typing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh, umm), and give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Aim for 2–4 sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., "memorise more effectively" instead of "more memorable").

Ejemplo: I prefer handwriting when I study because writing by hand helps me remember information better and understand concepts more deeply. However, I often type for quick tasks like emails or notes because it is faster and easier to organise.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer first, remove fillers, and add one clear detail with a linking word. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "mechanical keyboard" and "distinctive sound"). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I use a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop. However, I attach a mechanical keyboard to my laptop because I prefer its tactile feel and distinctive sound when typing.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a short time reference, then give a concise supporting detail using a linking phrase. Remove hesitations and repetition. Use clearer phrasing like "elementary school computer class" and explain the effect briefly.

Ejemplo: I learned to type when I was in elementary school during a computer class. Because we practised daily, I developed speed and confidence early on.

Sugerencia: Expand slightly with a specific method and avoid repetition and fillers. Start with a topic sentence, then add one or two concrete strategies (e.g., online typing lessons, accuracy drills) with a linking word like "for example" or "for instance."

Ejemplo: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice. For example, I spend 20 minutes daily on online typing lessons to build accuracy, and I set speed goals each week to gradually increase my words-per-minute.

× I sometimes prefer typing, but sometimes I like handwriting more because, uh, When I study, I like uh, writing by my hand because it is more memorable and I can easily learn. But other times I like type.

✓ I sometimes prefer typing, but sometimes I like handwriting more because, when I study, I like writing by hand because it is more memorable and I can learn more easily. But other times I like to type.

Errors: 'writing by my hand' is not the natural English expression; use 'writing by hand'. 'When' should not be capitalized mid-sentence. 'I can easily learn' is awkward; 'I can learn more easily' is clearer. 'I like type' is incorrect verb form after 'like' when referring to the activity; use 'I like to type' or 'I like typing'. Suggestions: use the fixed phrase 'by hand', keep sentence-case, place adverbs ('more easily') after the verb phrase, and use the infinitive or gerund consistently after 'like'.

× Since I don't have a desktop, I use a laptop keyboard, umm, but I like uh, custom keyboard. So I bought a uh, like unique keyboard and which has very unique sound, umm, so I'm using it uh, for my laptop as well.

✓ Since I don't have a desktop, I use a laptop, but I like custom keyboards. So I bought a unique keyboard that has a very unique sound, and I'm using it with my laptop as well.

Errors: 'custom keyboard' should be plural or preceded by an article: 'custom keyboards' or 'a custom keyboard'. 'and which has' is an incorrect clause connector; use 'that has' or 'which has' without 'and'. 'very unique sound' is awkward but acceptable; keep 'a very unique sound'. 'using it for my laptop' is incorrect preposition; use 'using it with my laptop'. Suggestions: match singular/plural and use relative pronoun 'that' for defining clauses; choose correct preposition 'with' for using an accessory alongside a device.

× I think I learned it, uh, when I was really, really young because, umm, I was in a, a computer class when I was in, uh, elementary school and at the time they let me, uh, type every day, uh, to type faster.

✓ I think I learned it when I was really young because I was in a computer class in elementary school, and at that time they let me type every day so I could become faster.

Errors: redundant commas and fillers disrupt sentence flow. 'a computer class when I was in elementary school' is repetitive; simplify to 'in a computer class in elementary school'. 'at the time' better as 'at that time'. 'let me type every day, to type faster' is awkward; use purpose clause 'so I could become faster' or 'so I could type faster'. Suggestions: remove filler words, streamline clauses, and use clear purpose connectors like 'so' for intended outcomes.

× Just practice. I practice every day, umm, to become more, uh, accurate and faster. So I got used to it, uh, really faster, really fast, so I could type really fast, umm, after some practice.

✓ Just practice. I practice every day to become more accurate and faster. So I got used to it quickly and could type really fast after some practice.

Errors: 'to become more, uh, accurate and faster' mixes comparative forms; use 'more accurate and faster' or better 'more accurate and faster' is acceptable but 'more accurate and faster' slightly awkward — improved to 'more accurate and faster'. 'really faster' is incorrect adverb usage; use 'quickly' or 'much faster'. Repetition 'really fast' is redundant. Suggestions: use proper adverbs ('quickly') for manner and avoid unnecessary repetition; maintain parallel structure in lists of adjectives/adverbs.
