Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Reduce repetition and hesitations, give a clear topic sentence and a brief reason, then one specific supporting detail. Use linking words (because, so) to connect ideas and avoid unnecessary filler words.

Example: I prefer handwriting because I don't type quickly. As a computer science student, slow typing makes me anxious during exams, so I often write notes by hand to organize my thoughts more clearly.

Suggestion: Start with a direct answer (laptop), then add one concise reason and one specific example. Correct small grammar issues (use 'have' -> 'has') and avoid filler sounds.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop computer. For example, I only used desktops at university where there are many computers in the library.

Suggestion: Give a direct time reference and one precise detail to support it. Remove fillers like 'uh' and 'I guess' to sound more confident.

Example: I learned to type when I was in junior school, around age ten, during my computer science classes where we practiced basic typing drills.

Suggestion: Name the resource clearly (or describe it) and explain exactly how you use it and how often. Use present simple consistently and avoid hedging phrases like 'I don't really remember'.

Example: I improve my typing with an online typing practice site that gives timed drills and accuracy feedback. I practise on it for 20 minutes every day, focusing on accuracy first and then increasing speed.

× That's a big problem for me because I'm a computer science student and I always hate typing as I as because of my typing speed.

✓ That's a big problem for me because I'm a computer science student and I always hate typing because of my typing speed.

The phrase 'as I as because' contains redundant words and breaks sentence flow. This is not a third person singular verb issue but the intended correction removes redundancy and restores correct conjunction use. Suggestion: delete the extra 'as I as' and keep a single conjunction 'because' to show cause.

× Archive on the laptop keyboard because I don't even have a desktop.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard because I don't even have a desktop.

'Archive on the laptop keyboard' is ungrammatical and likely a mis-saying. This is a sentence structure error: the subject and verb are missing or incorrect. Replace 'Archive' with 'I type' to provide a clear subject and verb that match the question about typing devices.

× Umm I I I would only use a desktop when I was at school because our university have a lot of desktop in the library.

✓ Umm I would only use a desktop when I was at school because our university had a lot of desktops in the library.

'Our university have' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; 'university' is singular and requires 'has' in present or 'had' in past. The context refers to a past habit ('when I was at school'), so use past tense 'had'. Also 'a lot of desktop' should be plural 'desktops'. Suggestion: match tense across clause and make noun plural.

× I guess it was when I was still a pupil. Yeah, when I was, uh, still in the Junior School and, uh, I learned typing on the keyboard in my computer science class.

✓ I guess it was when I was still a pupil. Yeah, when I was still in junior school, I learned to type on the keyboard in my computer science class.

Use the correct verb pattern 'learned to type' rather than 'learned typing' to describe acquiring a skill. Also 'Junior School' can be lowercased as 'junior school' in general reference. Suggestion: use 'learned to type' for clarity when describing learning an action.

× I used a website called Typist or Typing, umm, I don't really remember the name of that website, but yeah, it can, uh, train and uh, help, uh, user improve their typing speed.

✓ I used a website called Typist or Typing, I don't really remember the exact name, but it could train and help users improve their typing speed.

'user' is incorrectly singular and lacks an article; context requires a plural general noun 'users' or 'a user'. Also modal 'can' is acceptable but past reference 'used' suggests 'could' better matches. Suggestion: use 'it could train and help users' to match tense and correct pronoun/number usage.

× I use that website for exercise every day.

✓ I used that website for exercises every day.

Earlier the student said they 'used' the website, so maintain past tense for consistency: 'used' rather than 'use'. Also 'exercise' should be plural 'exercises' when referring to repeated practice sessions. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and pluralize countable noun.
