IELTS Speaking Part 1: Typing

Absolutely, I rely heavily on my lightweight laptop keyboard for daily tasks, ranging from drafting academic papers and answering work emails to catching up with friends via instant messaging.

I picked up touch typing when I was in my first year of secondary school, during mandatory IT classes. I later refined my speed by chatting with friends online and typing up school assignments on a daily basis.

To hone my typing speed and accuracy, I do 15-minute daily drills on specialized typing platforms, and I force myself to adopt touch typing when drafting work emails or messaging peers, which yields noticeable progress quickly.
