Typing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a complete, natural response: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific supporting reason and an example. Avoid incomplete phrases like "and more." Keep it to 2–3 sentences and use linking words for coherence.

Ví dụ: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster and more convenient. For example, when I take notes during lectures I can type quickly and organize them into folders on my laptop, which makes reviewing much easier.

Gợi ý: Expand the short yes/no reply with a topic sentence that answers which device you use, then add one supporting detail or reason. Use a linking word to connect ideas and keep it to 1–2 extra sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, absolutely — I type on my laptop keyboard every day because I work and study from home. As a result, I usually carry my laptop everywhere so I can type emails and assignments on the go.

Gợi ý: Correct grammar and finish the sentence: use past tense for a past event, give the full context (where or what class), and add a brief detail about what you learned. Keep it to 2 sentences max.

Ví dụ: I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about ten years old during a computer class at school. In that class we practiced touch-typing and learning proper finger placement, which helped me increase my speed.

Gợi ý: Avoid saying you don't know. Offer at least one method you use or plan to use to improve typing, with a brief reason or example. Keep to 2–3 sentences and use linking words for clarity.

Ví dụ: I improve my typing by practicing on online typing programs and doing timed tests to increase my speed and accuracy. Additionally, I try to maintain correct posture and finger placement so I make fewer mistakes.

× I prefer typing to handwriting because it's faster and more.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because it's faster and more convenient.

The original sentence ends with 'more' which is incomplete; 'more' needs an adjective or adverb to compare (e.g., 'more convenient'). The error falls under incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs because the comparative idea is not expressed correctly. Suggestion: add an appropriate adjective or complete the comparative phrase, for example 'faster and more convenient' or 'faster and more efficient.'

× Yes, absolutely.

✓ Yes, I do — absolutely.

Answering 'Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?' with a bare 'Yes, absolutely.' is acceptable conversationally but lacks clarity. This is a sentence structure issue because the response should explicitly confirm the action using an auxiliary verb for full grammatical form: 'Yes, I do.' Add 'absolutely' for emphasis. Suggestion: use 'Yes, I do — absolutely' or 'Yes, I type every day.'

× I learn to type on keyboard when I was about 10 years old during a computer class at.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 10 years old during a computer class at school.

The sentence mixes present tense 'I learn' with past time marker 'when I was about 10 years old.' This is a tense error: use past tense 'learned' to match the time reference. Also missing article 'a' before 'keyboard' and incomplete phrase 'at' requires the place 'school.' Suggestions: use past tense 'learned,' include the article 'a keyboard,' and complete the location: 'during a computer class at school.'

× I don't know.

✓ I don't know how to improve my typing, or I usually practice with online exercises to improve my typing.

Replying 'I don't know.' to 'How do you improve your typing?' is grammatically correct but unhelpful. This is a sentence structure/use issue: give a full answer matching the question. Suggestions: provide a method using present simple (habitual): 'I practice with online exercises' or 'I take typing lessons' or if unsure, 'I'm not sure, but I usually practice with online exercises.'
