Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Good idea and clear preference. In English (Nigeria), try to make your answer more natural and concise: state the main reason first, then give one or two specific benefits. Avoid redundancy ("unlike handwriting") and vague phrases ("variety of options to choose"). Use a linking word to connect reason and example.

Ví dụ: I prefer typing to handwriting because it helps me correct mistakes easily. For example, when I type essays I can use spell-check and reorganise sentences quickly, which saves time and improves clarity.

Gợi ý: Answer is relevant and coherent. In English (Nigeria), make the response more direct and combine sentences with a linking word. Give a brief current situation and a specific past example to show ability.

Ví dụ: I don't use a laptop daily now because I don't own one at the moment. However, at university I typed a lot on a laptop, especially while working on my final-year project.

Gợi ý: Clear and concise. To improve, add a short specific detail (how you practised or how long it took) and use a linking word to show cause. That makes your answer richer and more natural in English (Nigeria).

Ví dụ: I learnt to type in secondary school because computer basics were required. I practised for about six months using class exercises and simple typing drills, which helped me improve speed.

Gợi ý: Good idea but contains errors and unclear phrase "name accurately." In English (Nigeria), be specific and correct word choice: say "type accurately." Use linking words and give a short example of a tool or routine. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing by practising with typing software that measures speed and accuracy, such as TypingClub. I also watch tutorial videos and do daily 15-minute drills to increase speed and reduce errors.

× I actually prefer typing to handwriting because typing gives me an opportunity to get my mistakes corrected, unlike handwriting, and it makes me have a variety of options to choose.

✓ I actually prefer typing to handwriting because typing gives me the opportunity to have my mistakes corrected, unlike handwriting, and it gives me a variety of options to choose from.

The phrase 'an opportunity to get my mistakes corrected' is awkward; use 'the opportunity to have my mistakes corrected' for correct passive construction (related to past participle use). Also 'it makes me have a variety of options to choose' is ungrammatical; use 'it gives me a variety of options to choose from'. Suggestion: use 'have my mistakes corrected' and end with the prepositional phrase 'to choose from'. Grammar problem type ID:13

× I do not type on a laptop keyboard frequently because I do not have a laptop at the moment. But when I was at university I typed a lot using a laptop and especially during my project.

✓ I do not type on a laptop keyboard frequently because I do not have a laptop at the moment. But when I was at university I typed a lot on a laptop, especially during my projects.

Use 'on a laptop' rather than 'using a laptop' for natural preposition choice and change 'during my project' to 'during my projects' (or 'my project' if referring to a specific one). Also ensure tense consistency: present for current lack, past for university. Suggestion: use 'on a laptop' and plural 'projects' if speaking generally. Grammar problem type ID:6

× I learnt how to type on a keyboard when I was in secondary school. We were required to know the basics of a computer, so I took it upon myself to learn.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in secondary school. We were required to know the basics of computers, so I took it upon myself to learn.

'Learnt' is acceptable in British English, but for consistency use 'learned' if following international standard; primary error is 'the basics of a computer' which should be 'the basics of computers' (plural) because 'basics' refers to general computer knowledge. Suggestion: use 'computers' and keep past tense consistently. Grammar problem type ID:5

× I usually practice using a software that tests my speed and accuracy. On some occasion I watch videos on how to type very fast and name accurately.

✓ I usually practise using software that tests my speed and accuracy. On some occasions I watch videos on how to type very fast and type accurately.

'A software' is incorrect because 'software' is uncountable; use no article. Also 'practise' vs 'practice' depends on variety; keep consistent. 'On some occasion' should be plural 'on some occasions'. 'Name accurately' is wrong word choice; intended verb is 'type', so use 'type accurately'. Suggestion: remove the article before 'software', pluralise 'occasions', and replace 'name' with 'type'. Grammar problem type ID:11
