Typing— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more fluent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh, um), correct grammar (e.g. “I write well” not “I can good”), and give one supporting reason with a brief example. Keep responses under five sentences and use a linking word to connect ideas.

Exemplo: I prefer handwriting to typing because I find it easier and faster for me. For example, when I take notes in class, I can write more clearly by hand, which helps me study later. Therefore, handwriting remains my preferred method.

Sugestão: Answer directly with correct word choice and clearer structure. Use a topic sentence stating which you use daily, then give one specific reason using a linking word (e.g. “because” or “so”). Reduce hesitations and fix grammar (e.g. “I use a desktop because it has a full-sized keyboard”).

Exemplo: I use a desktop keyboard every day because it has a full-sized keyboard that is easier to type on. For example, the larger keys help me avoid mistakes, and I have been comfortable with desktops since childhood.

Sugestão: Provide a clear time reference and correct tense. Start with a direct topic sentence (e.g. “I learned to type when I was a child”), then add one specific detail about how you learned, using linking words like “because” or “so”. Avoid short abrupt endings.

Exemplo: I learned to type when I was a child because my father worked as a typist and taught me touch-typing. As a result, I can often type without looking at the keys, which makes me faster and more confident.

Sugestão: Give a concise process with specific methods and avoid repetition and fillers. Begin with a topic sentence explaining your main method, then give one or two specific practices (e.g. timed exercises, typing software) and a result. Use linking words such as “for example” or “therefore”.

Exemplo: I improve my typing through daily practice and using online typing exercises. For example, I spend 20 minutes each day on a typing website to increase speed and accuracy, and as a result my typing has become much faster.

× And uh, uh, I have very slow speed in typing, but handwriting I can good.

✓ And, uh, I have a very slow typing speed, but I can write well by hand.

The student used 'very slow speed in typing' which is awkward; 'a very slow typing speed' is correct. 'handwriting I can good' uses 'good' (adjective) incorrectly to modify the verb phrase; the adverb 'well' and a clear subject 'I' are required. Suggest practicing placement of adjectives/adverbs and using 'well' for abilities.

× I take on a desktop umm, because computer on when computer have attached keyboard and it is very easy to type, whereas uh, in the laptop the keys are very small and umm, I'm not used to it.

✓ I use a desktop because when a computer has an attached keyboard it is very easy to type, whereas on a laptop the keys are very small and I'm not used to them.

Errors include wrong verb 'take on', missing articles, incorrect prepositions ('on the laptop' vs 'in the laptop'), and incorrect pronoun number. Use 'use' instead of 'take on', add articles 'a'/'the', 'has' for possession, and 'on' for 'on a laptop'. Finally, refer to 'keys' with plural pronoun 'them'. Practice article and preposition usage and subject-verb agreement.

× I take on a desktop umm, because computer on when computer have attached keyboard and it is very easy to type, whereas uh, in the laptop the keys are very small and umm, I'm not used to it.

✓ I use a desktop because when a computer has an attached keyboard it is very easy to type, whereas on a laptop the keys are very small and I'm not used to them.

The original used 'computer have' which mismatches singular 'computer' with plural verb 'have'. Correct singular agreement is 'computer has'. Also change 'take on' to 'use'. Review subject-verb agreement rules: singular nouns take singular verbs.

× So yeah, from my childhood I used to prefer uh, PC.

✓ So yeah, since my childhood I have preferred PCs.

The student used 'used to prefer' which is awkward for a continuing preference; 'have preferred' expresses continuity from past to present. Also 'PC' should be plural 'PCs' to indicate the general category. Use present perfect for actions or preferences continuing into the present.

× I learned now in very young age when I was child.

✓ I learned when I was very young.

The phrase 'learned now in very young age' mixes tenses and word order. Use simple past 'learned' with the time phrase 'when I was very young'. Omit 'now' and correct 'a child' or 'was a child' to 'when I was very young'.

× My father is a typist, so he show me how to use the keys without even looking into the keyboard.

✓ My father is a typist, so he showed me how to use the keys without even looking at the keyboard.

The verb 'show' should be past tense 'showed' to match 'is a typist' and the past learning event. Also use 'looking at the keyboard' rather than 'into'. Ensure tense consistency and correct preposition.

× I love to type, that's it.

✓ I love to type. That's all.

'That's it' is informal and can be unclear; 'That's all' is a simpler, more natural closing. No major grammar error but wording can be improved.

× Umm, honestly speaking, I improve my typing by type, uh, again and again, like by more, uh, by more practising, uh, on the daily basis I try to learn it and now I'm super fast in it and I love, uh, typing.

✓ Honestly, I improve my typing by typing again and again and by practising more; on a daily basis I try to practise it, and now I'm very fast and I love typing.

Errors: 'by type' should be 'by typing' (verb + -ing), 'practising' placement and form, and 'on the daily basis' should be 'on a daily basis'. Use consistent gerunds for methods ('by typing', 'by practising') and natural modifiers ('very fast' instead of 'super fast').

× And each day I have to type some words. That's how I learn it.

✓ Each day I have to type some words. That's how I learned it.

The phrase 'That's how I learn it' mixes present tense with past learning; if referring to how the skill was developed, use past 'learned'. If referring to ongoing improvement, use 'learn it' with present continuous context. Also 'learn it' is less natural than 'learned it' in this context. Clarify tense based on intended meaning.
