Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons, and avoid filler words (uh). Use linking words to connect reasons (because, so, for example). Also improve vocabulary accuracy (e.g. "the pen I like" → "my favorite pen") and reduce repetition.

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting because I enjoy the tactile feel of a good pen and it helps me focus. For example, when I take notes I often add small sketches and detailed annotations, which I find easier to do by hand than on a keyboard.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence and one clear reason with a linking word. Remove hesitation and correct phrasing ("I usually handwrite rather than type"). Include a brief detail about frequency or context to strengthen the answer.

Ví dụ: No, I don't use a desktop or laptop keyboard daily because at university I mainly use an iPad with an Apple Pencil. As a result, I handwrite notes for most lectures and only type when I need to submit assignments online.

Gợi ý: Produce a clear, grammatical timeline: begin with a direct answer (e.g. "I learned to type in third grade") and then provide one specific context or reason. Avoid disfluent fragments and improve sentence structure.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was in third grade at elementary school. At that time we had computer classes where we practiced typing Korean to complete essays and school assignments.

Gợi ý: Structure the answer: state the method clearly, add a specific example of the tool or routine, and use linking words (for example, by doing this). Avoid repetition and filler words.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly by regular practice using a typing program. For example, in Korea there is a popular program with timed exercises and varied phrases, so I use it daily for 20 minutes to increase speed and accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting because I like the feeling when I write myself and with the pen I like in the handwriting.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I like the feeling when I write myself with a pen.

The phrase 'write myself' is an incorrect reflexive/ pronoun use; the speaker means 'write by hand' or 'write with a pen.' Also 'with the pen I like in the handwriting' is ungrammatical word order and unnecessary repetition. Suggestion: use 'write myself with a pen' or better 'write by hand with a pen.'

× I really enjoy writing and I like to put in details, for example a lot.

✓ I really enjoy writing and I like to include a lot of details, for example.

The original sentence has awkward phrasing 'put in details' and misplaced 'a lot.' Use the verb 'include' with 'details' and place 'a lot' before 'of details' or after the verb to make meaning clear. Suggestion: 'include a lot of details' or 'add many details.'

× Many uh, pictures I can draw together with the text.

✓ I can draw many pictures together with the text.

Word order is incorrect; English typically follows Subject-Verb-Object order. Move the subject 'I' before the verb 'can draw' and place 'many pictures' after the verb. Remove filler 'uh.'

× I don't type on a desktop or a laptop keyboard every day because, uh, in my studies, uh, it's more of more uses of iPads with the Apple Pencil and I usually, uh, hand write, not the type in my study.

✓ I don't type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day because in my studies we use iPads with Apple Pencils more, and I usually handwrite rather than type.

Problems: awkward phrasing 'more of more uses,' incorrect spacing 'hand write' (should be 'handwrite'), and incorrect comparative structure 'not the type.' Use present simple for habits and rephrase to 'we use iPads with Apple Pencils more' and 'handwrite rather than type.' Remove filler words and redundant articles.

× I've learned to how to type on a keyboard.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard.

Use simple past 'learned' when referring to a specific time in the past (later the speaker mentions elementary school). Also remove the extraneous 'to' after 'learned.' If using present perfect, it would be 'I've learned how to type,' but that conflicts with the later specific time reference. Suggestion: use 'I learned how to type.'

× When I was about elementary school, 3rd grade, I first learned to write in uh Korean.

✓ When I was in elementary school, third grade, I first learned to write in Korean.

Use 'in elementary school' rather than 'about elementary school.' Spell out 'third grade' and place it after the school level. Remove filler 'uh.' This corrects preposition and word order.

× To type in Korean for uh, to write about an essay that required me to do things.

✓ I learned to type in Korean because I had to write essays that required it.

Original is a sentence fragment and has unclear purpose. Combine into a complete sentence with clear cause: 'I had to write essays that required it.' This fixes sentence structure and clarifies meaning. Remove filler 'uh.'

× I improved my typing by just typing more and more and by practicing that a lot.

✓ I improved my typing by typing more and by practicing a lot.

Redundant 'more and more' is unnecessary; present 'improved' past tense is fine. Simplify repetition and use natural collocation 'practicing a lot.'

× For example, I just and in Korea there is a a computer program that helps you practice with your typing and it has a lot of phrases that you can practice with.

✓ For example, in Korea there is a computer program that helps you practice typing and it has many phrases you can use for practice.

Original has false starts ('I just and'), duplicated article 'a a,' and awkward phrasing 'practice with your typing.' Reorder to standard structure: place 'in Korea' early, remove fillers and duplicates, use 'practice typing' and 'many phrases you can use for practice.'

× So I practice that over and over again.

✓ So I practice it over and over again.

Replace 'that' with the more natural pronoun 'it' referring to the program or activity. Present simple is correct for habitual action. Suggestion: could also say 'I practiced it over and over again' if referring to past practice.
