Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Câu trả lời rõ ràng nhưng có thể ngắn gọn hơn và thêm ví dụ cụ thể hoặc so sánh để thuyết phục hơn. Hạn chế lặp ý (tiết kiệm thời gian / dễ chỉnh sửa / dễ chia sẻ) bằng cách nối các ý với liên từ phù hợp và giữ tối đa 3-4 câu.

Example: I prefer typing because it’s faster and makes editing and sharing work simple. For instance, I can quickly correct an email and send it to many people within minutes, whereas handwriting would be slower and harder to distribute.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời đúng trọng tâm nhưng có lỗi lặp từ (“It's it's”) và một vài chỗ cần liên kết mạch lạc hơn. Nên bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề, dùng liên từ (so/therefore) và tránh lỗi phát âm/ghi chép. Giữ tối đa 3 câu và thêm chi tiết cụ thể ngắn gọn.

Example: Yes, I use a laptop every day because it’s portable and suits my work and study needs. Therefore I can write emails and reports on trains or in cafés, which would be impractical with a desktop.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời có nội dung nhưng câu đầu dài và hơi rối; có lỗi ngữ pháp và trật tự từ (“practiced it touch typing exercises since then”, “improve the regular use or for homework”). Nên tách thành 2 câu: thời điểm học và cách tiếp tục luyện tập. Dùng thì phù hợp (past simple cho quá khứ, present perfect cho hành động kéo dài).

Example: I learned to type when I was about seven in a primary school computer class, where we practiced touch-typing. Since then I have kept improving by using the keyboard for homework and chatting, which has increased my speed and accuracy.

Suggestion: Ý tưởng tốt nhưng có chỗ không rõ ràng và ngắt câu vụn (“Also for the chatting section”). Ngoài ra thì lẫn thì: dùng present simple/have+past participle cho kết quả. Nên liệt kê ngắn gọn các phương pháp, dùng liên từ để mạch lạc và sửa ngữ pháp (has reduced errors).

Example: I improve my typing by practising touch-typing with online courses and typing software, and sometimes by playing fast-paced video games to build speed. For example, I spend about 20 minutes a day on structured lessons and timed tests, which has noticeably improved my speed and reduced my errors.

× 'It's it's portability lets me work from different places.'

✓ 'Its portability lets me work from different places.'

'The sentence has a repetition "it's it's" and incorrect use of a contraction. Replace with the possessive pronoun its to show that portability belongs to the laptop. Also remove the extra contraction. Suggestion: use "Its portability lets me...".'

× 'For example I often write emails and reports on train or at cafes, which would be difficult for the desktop.'

✓ 'For example, I often write emails and reports on the train or at cafes, which would be difficult on a desktop.'

'Use the definite article "the" with "train" when referring to travel by train in general (on the train). Also change the preposition "for the desktop" to "on a desktop" to indicate the device used. Add a comma after "For example" for clarity.'

× 'I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 7 years old during a computer class at primary school where we practiced it touch typing exercises since then.'

✓ 'I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 7 years old during a computer class at primary school, where we practiced touch-typing exercises.'

'The sentence mixes past tense "learned" with "since then" which implies continuing action; this creates a tense inconsistency. Also "practiced it touch typing exercises" is ungrammatical; remove "it" and hyphenate touch-typing as a compound adjective. For ongoing practice after that, use a separate sentence with present perfect (e.g., "Since then, I have continued to practice").'

× 'Since then I've continued to improve the regular use or for homework and chatting, which helped increase both my speed and accuracy.'

✓ 'Since then, I've continued to improve through regular use for homework and chatting, which has helped increase both my speed and accuracy.'

'"Improve the regular use or for homework" is ungrammatical and the tense is inconsistent: "Since then I've continued" is present perfect and should pair with "has helped" (present perfect) rather than past "helped." Rephrase to "improve through regular use for homework and chatting" and change "helped" to "has helped."'

× 'I practice touch typing regularly using UH online courses and typing software to build muscle memory and accuracy, and also for video games.'

✓ 'I practice touch typing regularly using UH online courses and typing software to build muscle memory and accuracy, and I also practice when playing video games.'

'The original is awkward because "and also for video games" lacks a verb and connection. Add a verb phrase "I also practice when playing video games" to make the activity explicit and parallel with the earlier clause.'

× 'Also for the chatting section.'

✓ 'I also use it for chatting.'

'This fragment lacks a verb and is not a complete sentence. Convert it to a full sentence by adding a subject and verb: "I also use it for chatting." This makes the meaning clear and grammatically correct.'

× 'For example, I spend 20 minutes daily on structured lessons and time tests, which has noticeably increased my speed and reduces errors.'

✓ 'For example, I spend 20 minutes daily on structured lessons and time tests, which has noticeably increased my speed and reduced my errors.'

'The sentence mixes present tense "reduces" with present perfect "has noticeably increased." To be consistent, use past/present perfect pairing: "has noticeably increased" and "reduced my errors" or change both to present simple: "noticeably increases my speed and reduces my errors." Here we use present perfect + past participle for consistency.'
