Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is a bit wordy and contains minor grammar issues. Reduce redundancy (e.g., avoid repeating "over handwriting" and "over typewriting"), fix subject-verb agreement and use one linking word to connect contrasting ideas. Aim for 3–4 concise sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer typing because it lets me correct mistakes easily and I type faster than I write. However, for personal notes or letters I choose handwriting because it feels more sincere.

Gợi ý: The response answers the question but is slightly informal and contains awkward phrasing ("as of the moment"). Be more direct, use a clear frequency phrase, and link reason with a concise clause. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I usually type on either a desktop or a laptop about five days a week. This is because my current job involves preparing documents, which requires regular typing.

Gợi ý: Good content and a clear time reference, but fix tense agreement and hesitations (e.g., "uh"). Use linking words and be specific about the stage (e.g., "elementary school"). Keep sentences polished and avoid unnecessary filler.

Ví dụ: I learned to type in elementary school because we had to prepare printed reports. Typing on a computer made our work look more presentable and saved time.

Gợi ý: The answer has grammar errors ("approve" should be "improve") and repeats the same idea. Remove repetition, correct verb forms, and give a specific method or example of practice (e.g., timed exercises, online lessons). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing by practicing daily with timed exercises and online lessons. As a result, my speed and accuracy have steadily increased.

× But for correspondences that needs personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

✓ But for correspondence that needs a personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

The noun 'correspondences' is plural but the verb 'needs' is singular, causing inconsistency; use the uncountable or singular noun 'correspondence' and add the article 'a' before 'personal touch' to be idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'correspondence' or 'pieces of correspondence' and match verb number accordingly.

× But for correspondences that needs personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

✓ But for correspondence that needs a personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

The relative clause 'that needs' requires a singular subject; after changing to 'correspondence' the verb 'needs' is correct. Previously plural 'correspondences' would require 'need'. Ensure subject and verb agree in number.

× I prefer typing over handwriting in general, because typing allows you to erase your mistakes without a trace as compared to handwriting.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting in general, because typing allows you to erase your mistakes without a trace compared to handwriting.

Use the correct comparative preposition 'prefer A to B' rather than 'prefer A over B'. Also 'as compared to' is wordy; 'compared to' or 'than' is better. Suggestion: say 'prefer typing to handwriting' and 'compared to handwriting'.

× I learned to type on a keyboard back in elementary as we had to prepare reports which requires printing and uh, typing it on a computer would make these reports much more presentable.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard back in elementary school because we had to prepare reports which required printing, and typing them on a computer made those reports much more presentable.

Multiple agreement and tense issues: 'requires' should be past 'required' to match 'learned'; 'elementary' should be 'elementary school'; 'typing it' should agree in number with 'reports' so 'typing them'; 'would make' shifts tense awkwardly—use past 'made' to match context. Ensure consistent past tense and plural agreement.

× Yes, I type on a desktop or laptop, but not really every day, maybe just five times a week because my work as of the moment is more on preparing documents.

✓ Yes, I type on a desktop or laptop, but not every day, maybe just five times a week because at the moment my work is more about preparing documents.

Awkward phrase 'as of the moment' is nonstandard; use 'at the moment'. 'More on preparing documents' is unnatural—use 'more about preparing documents'. Keep simple present to describe habitual action.

× I approve my typing, but just practicing it daily and I think I've been doing good.

✓ I improve my typing by just practicing daily, and I think I've been doing well.

'Approve' is incorrect verb; 'improve' fits meaning. The phrase 'just practicing it daily' needs a preposition 'by' to show method. Use 'well' not 'good' for adverb modifying 'doing'. Maintain present perfect continuous or present perfect as appropriate.

× I think I've been typing words faster than usual as I practice each day.

✓ I think I've been typing words faster than usual because I practice each day.

Mixing present perfect continuous 'I've been typing' with 'as I practice each day' is awkward; use 'because' to show reason. Alternatively, 'I've been typing words faster than usual since I started practicing each day.' Keep tense consistent and place adverbs close to verbs they modify.
