Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and complete your final sentence. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid fillers like "uh" and repeated words.

Ví dụ: I don’t have a strong overall preference, but I prefer handwriting for quick notes and typing for longer pieces. For example, handwriting is faster for jotting down ideas during meetings, whereas typing is more efficient for essays because I can edit and format text quickly.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer and supporting details. Improve by using linking words and one specific example of frequency or time to make it more precise. Remove repetition and tighten phrasing.

Ví dụ: I use my laptop keyboard almost every day. For example, I usually chat with friends in the evening and write in my diary for about 15–20 minutes each night, so typing is a regular part of my routine.

Gợi ý: Fix clarity and grammar: use a clear topic sentence and correct verb forms. Avoid long hesitations and provide one specific detail (age and process). Use linking words to make it coherent.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when my family bought our first computer, when I was about seven or eight. At that time computers were completely new to me, so it took a long time to get used to the keyboard, but I practiced regularly and gradually improved.

Gợi ý: Provide a clearer structure: state your main point, then give specific examples of what you do to practice. Avoid repetition and grammar mistakes; use linking words like "for example" or "as a result."

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice rather than formal lessons. For example, I type daily messages and diary entries, and sometimes I use online typing exercises for ten minutes to increase my speed; as a result, I’ve become more comfortable and accurate over time.

× I find both of them working fine for me.

✓ I find both of them work fine for me.

The verb 'find' is followed by a bare infinitive or an adjective, not a present participle in this context. Use 'work' (bare infinitive) to state a general fact: 'I find both of them work fine for me.' Alternatively, 'I find both of them to be working fine for me' would also be acceptable.

× In some cases I do prefer handwriting, like taking some short notes uh.

✓ In some cases I do prefer handwriting, for example when taking short notes.

The original has an informal filler 'uh' and an awkward clause 'like taking some short notes'. Replace with 'for example when taking short notes' to make the sentence grammatically complete and natural.

× But when it comes to writing longer tests, I prefer typing because.

✓ But when it comes to writing longer texts, I prefer typing.

The sentence ends with a dangling conjunction 'because' and also likely meant 'texts' rather than 'tests'. Remove 'because' or complete the clause. Use 'texts' to fit the context of written content.

× Most of the time I use the chat with my friends or as I mentioned earlier, to write my diary, so it's basically part of my daily routine.

✓ Most of the time I chat with my friends or, as I mentioned earlier, write in my diary, so it's basically part of my daily routine.

'Use the chat' is awkward; use the verb 'chat' or 'use chat apps'. Also 'to write my diary' should be 'write in my diary'. Reordering improves clarity and maintains present habitual tense.

× I first learned how to tie since my family got our first computer when I was around 7 or 8 years old.

✓ I first learned how to type after my family got our first computer when I was around seven or eight years old.

Spelling error 'tie' should be 'type'. 'Since' is incorrect with 'learned'—use 'after' to indicate sequence in the past. Use spelled-out numbers for formality.

× Uh, backed in computer words something com totally new to me umm and not familiar with the keyboards as well.

✓ Back then, computers were totally new to me, and I was not familiar with keyboards.

The original contains fragments, fillers and incorrect word order ('backed in computer words something com'). Rephrase to a clear past description: 'Back then, computers were totally new to me, and I was not familiar with keyboards.' Remove fillers 'uh' and 'umm'.

× It took me ages to to type.

✓ It took me ages to type.

Duplicate 'to' is a typographical error. Use the infinitive 'to type' after 'took me ages' to indicate how long it required.

× I don't have a specific method for this, I think it just comes naturally with practice.

✓ I don't have a specific method for this; I think it just comes naturally with practice.

Comma splice joins two independent clauses with just a comma. Replace with a semicolon or separate into two sentences to correct sentence structure.

× The more typing you you have, the more be comfortable you become.

✓ The more you type, the more comfortable you become.

Incorrect structure: use comparative correlative 'the more... the more...' with verbs and adjectives: 'The more you type, the more comfortable you become.' Remove duplicate 'you' and misplaced 'be'.

× Was typing overtime you you will remember the general positions of each letter on the keyboard naturally.

✓ With practice over time, you will naturally remember the general positions of each letter on the keyboard.

Original is ungrammatical and contains duplicate 'you'. Rephrase to a correct future/ability statement: 'With practice over time, you will naturally remember...' This keeps tense and meaning appropriate.
