Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, avoid vague phrases, and support with specific reasons and a linking word. Keep it under five sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., "handwriting helps me remember and organize ideas").

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me remember information better and organize my thoughts more clearly. For example, when I take notes by hand I tend to summarize ideas in my own words, which improves retention. Therefore, I usually choose handwriting for studying and brainstorming.

Suggestion: Answer directly in present tense, avoid broken sentences, and give a brief reason with a linking word. Use natural phrasing and correct grammar (e.g., "No, I don't type every day because...").

Example: No, I don't type on a desktop or laptop every day because I prefer writing notes by hand. As a result, I rarely practice typing and mostly use digital devices only for email or browsing.

Suggestion: Use correct tense and add a specific time or age. Provide one supporting detail to make the answer more informative. Keep it concise and natural (one or two sentences).

Example: I learned to type on a keyboard when I was at primary school, around the age of ten. My teacher showed us the home-row technique and we practiced with short lessons each week.

Suggestion: Give a clear, grammatical response in present tense and explain with specific actions or plans. If you haven't improved typing, say so and mention future steps you might take using linking words (e.g., "but" or "so").

Example: I haven't actively improved my typing skills yet because I mostly write by hand, but I plan to practice with online typing exercises twice a week to increase my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting rather than typing because it improves this.

✓ I prefer handwriting to typing because it improves my writing.

The sentence uses awkward comparison 'rather than' and the vague pronoun 'this'. Use 'prefer A to B' for comparisons and specify the object: 'my writing' fits context. Also keep present simple tense for general preference.

× It improves the speed.

✓ It improves my speed.

The pronoun 'it' is acceptable but 'the speed' is unnatural here; specify 'my speed' to show whose speed improves. Maintain present simple to describe a general truth.

× No, I didn't type on a desktop or laptop keyboard because I am.

✓ No, I don't type on a desktop or laptop keyboard because I prefer handwriting.

The original mixes past tense 'didn't' with incomplete clause 'because I am.' The question asks about daily habit, so use present simple 'don't type'. Replace incomplete reasoning with a complete present-tense explanation.

× I don't believe in typing, I believe in handwriting.

✓ I don't believe in typing; I believe in handwriting.

Content is fine but punctuation should join two independent clauses with a semicolon or conjunction. Use present simple for habitual belief.

× I learned to type on a keyboard when I am in a school.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in school.

The time clause refers to the past, so use past tense 'was' not present 'am'. Also 'in school' is the conventional expression without 'a' when referring to attending school.

× I didn't yet I didn't do anything to improve my typing because I I really do type.

✓ I haven't done anything yet to improve my typing because I mostly write by hand.

The original repeats negatives and mixes tenses. For actions up to now, use present perfect 'haven't done anything yet'. Clarify reason: 'because I mostly write by hand' is a coherent explanation. Remove repetition and correct pronoun/verb forms.
