Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and fluent: remove hesitations and repeated words, use a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with linking words, and avoid fragments. Pronunciation and grammar errors (repetitions, subject/verb agreement) reduce clarity. Aim for 3–4 coherent sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting is messy and I often make spelling mistakes. Consequently, correcting them disrupts my thinking. By contrast, typing lets me edit quickly and keeps my ideas flowing.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer and supporting detail. To improve, avoid vague phrases like "all that much" and add a brief comparison or specific effect (e.g., speed or comfort). Keep it to 2–3 polished sentences.

Ví dụ: I type on a laptop keyboard every day, mainly on my MacBook. Its smooth keys improve my typing speed and reduce finger fatigue compared with older keyboards.

Gợi ý: Provide a clearer time reference and tighten the narrative: start with a precise topic sentence, then give one specific detail and a result. Remove filler words like "I think" and unnecessary hesitations.

Ví dụ: I learned to type in middle school during an IT class. The teacher timed us typing 100 words, which motivated me to practise and significantly improved my speed.

Gợi ý: Avoid short fragmented sentences and hesitations. Give a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific methods (timed drills, online exercises, posture) and link them logically. Remove filler words like "uh" and repetitive phrases.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice, including timed drills and online exercises. For example, I practise 20 minutes daily with typing tests, which has increased both my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer typing to handwriting because when because I don't have a very good handwriting and I often make mistake mistakes, so correcting the mistakes they really stomp my flow of inspiration.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting is not very good and I often make mistakes, so correcting them really disrupts my flow of inspiration.

This sentence has repetition and awkward structure. Replace 'when because' with a single conjunction and turn 'I don't have a very good handwriting' into 'my handwriting is not very good' (correct pronoun/possessive and article use). Change 'make mistake mistakes' to the plural 'make mistakes' (singular/plural issue). Replace 'correcting the mistakes they really stomp my flow' with 'correcting them really disrupts my flow' to fix subject-verb agreement and word choice. Suggestion: simplify clauses, use possessive for 'handwriting', pluralize 'mistakes', and use a single clear verb like 'disrupts'.

× I often make mistake mistakes, so correcting the mistakes they really stomp my flow of inspiration.

✓ I often make mistakes, so correcting them really disrupts my flow of inspiration.

There is an unnecessary duplicate word and a singular/plural mismatch: 'mistake mistakes' is incorrect; use the plural 'mistakes'. Also 'correcting the mistakes they really stomp' includes an extra pronoun 'they' causing subject redundancy and incorrect verb agreement. Use 'correcting them' as the object and a singular verb 'disrupts'. Suggestion: remove duplication and match plural nouns with appropriate pronouns and verbs.

× so correcting the mistakes they really stomp my flow of inspiration.

✓ so correcting them really disrupts my flow of inspiration.

The pronoun 'they' is unnecessary and creates a grammatical error; it results in two objects where one is needed. Replace 'the mistakes' with the pronoun 'them' to refer back to 'mistakes', and use a singular verb 'disrupts' to agree with the gerund phrase 'correcting them'. Suggestion: use concise pronoun reference and ensure verb agrees with the action.

× so correcting the mistakes they really stomp my flow of inspiration.

✓ so correcting them really disrupts my flow of inspiration.

The verb 'stomp' does not agree with the singular subject 'correcting them' (a gerund phrase treated as singular). Use 'disrupts' (third person singular) to match the subject. Suggestion: identify the true subject and ensure the verb is appropriate in number.

× Whereas typing I can just continue to write which is great.

✓ With typing, I can just continue to write, which is great.

Beginning the clause with 'Whereas' creates a fragment or awkward contrast; using 'With typing' or 'When I type' makes the sentence flow naturally. Also add commas for clarity before the nonrestrictive clause 'which is great'. Suggestion: use appropriate subordinators and punctuation.

× I type on a laptop keyboard every day.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day.

This sentence is correct; no article change needed. Included for completeness: 'a laptop keyboard' is correct because it refers to one example of such keyboards. No action required.

× I find that the keyboard of the MacBook is really smooth and can make my typing all that much faster.

✓ I find that the MacBook's keyboard is really smooth and makes my typing much faster.

'The keyboard of the MacBook' is grammatical but unnatural in conversational English; 'the MacBook's keyboard' is more natural. Also 'can make my typing all that much faster' is wordy—use 'makes my typing much faster' for clarity. Suggestion: use possessive form for devices and prefer concise verb phrases.

× I learned during my IT class in middle school I think.

✓ I learned during my IT class in middle school, I think.

The sentence is mostly correct in tense, but needs a comma before the parenthetical 'I think'. No tense change required. Suggestion: add punctuation to separate the remark.

× We used a keyboard on the desk at that time and the teacher would count how many seconds we use to type 100 words and my typing speed really improved during that time.

✓ We used a keyboard on the desk at that time, and the teacher would count how many seconds we took to type 100 words, so my typing speed really improved during that period.

Mixed tenses and awkward phrasing: 'would count' (past habitual) pairs with 'we took' (simple past) rather than 'we use'. 'How many seconds we use' is present tense and incorrect here. Also the sentence runs on; add commas and a coordinating conjunction or 'so' to show result. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent, change 'use' to 'took', and break into clearer clauses.

× I improve my typing simply by practicing. Practicing a lot.

✓ I improve my typing simply by practicing a lot.

Fragment 'Practicing a lot.' should be attached to the previous sentence to form a complete sentence. The present tense 'improve' is appropriate for habitual action. Suggestion: combine the fragment with the main clause or rewrite as 'I improve my typing by practicing a lot.'

× I really think that this is the only way because typing is simply a matter of, uh, fluency and the response, the responsiveness of the keyboard.

✓ I really think that this is the only way because typing is simply a matter of fluency and the responsiveness of the keyboard.

Unnecessary commas and filler words interrupt the noun phrase. Use the gerund 'responsiveness' correctly as a noun; remove the redundant 'the response, the' phrase. Suggestion: keep noun phrases concise and avoid fillers.

× We used a keyboard on the desk at that time and the teacher would count how many seconds we use to type 100 words and my typing speed really improved during that time.

✓ We used a keyboard on the desk at that time, and the teacher would count how many seconds we took to type 100 words, so my typing speed really improved during that period.

No specific article error, but 'a keyboard on the desk' is acceptable. Included to note overall sentence corrections: ensure tense consistency and clearer conjunctions.
