Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be consistent and direct: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid self-correction and repetition to sound more fluent and confident.

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me think more freely and I don’t need to look for keys. For example, when I take notes in class I can jot down ideas quickly and draw simple diagrams, which makes studying later much easier.

Gợi ý: Provide a concise topic sentence and add one specific example with a linking word. Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement) and avoid repeating 'laptop' several times.

Ví dụ: I type on my laptop every day because I use it for work. For instance, I regularly send emails to my marketing team and respond to client messages, so typing quickly is essential for my daily tasks.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear time reference and then give one precise detail or short anecdote. Use a linking word to connect the time and the example, and avoid vague phrases like 'very young age' if you can give an approximate age.

Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was about seven years old. In our computer class, the teacher would ask us to practice typing single letters and short words every day, which helped me become familiar with the keyboard quickly.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence about the method, then explain concisely how it helps with a specific detail and a result. Reduce filler words like 'so' and avoid repeating the app functions multiple times.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing by using an app called Type Faster, which gives timed exercises and tracks my accuracy. As a result, I can practice specific keys and monitor my progress, and my typing speed has increased noticeably over the past few months.

× I perform some tasks that requires me to send emails to my marketing team and also respond to messages.

✓ I perform some tasks that require me to send emails to my marketing team and also respond to messages.

Subject 'tasks' is plural, so the verb should be plural 'require' not 'requires'. Use plural verb to agree with plural subject. Suggestion: identify the subject (tasks) and ensure the verb agrees (tasks require).

× I learnt how to type on a keyboard at a very young age.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard at a very young age.

'Learnt' is a valid past form in British English, but in many contexts American English prefers 'learned'. Choose the form consistent with the variety of English you are using. Suggestion: use 'learned' for American English, or keep 'learnt' for British English; ensure consistency throughout the transcript.

× So they basically write words and timers so that we can type fast and get a score.

✓ So it basically displays words and timers so that we can type quickly and get a score.

The app is a singular noun ('it') so use singular reference and verb: 'it basically displays'. Also 'type fast' is colloquial; use adverb 'quickly'. 'Write' is wrong because the app displays/generates words. Suggestion: refer to apps with 'it' and use appropriate verbs and adverbs.

× I just write what I'm able to think of and it's way easier.

✓ I just write what I am able to think of, and it's much easier.

'Way easier' is informal; 'much easier' is more neutral. Also expanded contraction 'I'm' to 'I am' in correction for clarity but contraction is acceptable in speech. Suggestion: use 'much easier' in formal contexts.

× So I've been using the application and it has been working perfectly for me.

✓ So I've been using the application, and it has worked perfectly for me.

Tense consistency: 'I've been using' (present perfect continuous) is fine, but following clause 'it has been working' is wordy; 'it has worked' is concise and fits. Also 'the application' is acceptable; alternatively use the app's name. Suggestion: keep tenses concise and consistent.
