Touch typing

Today I was bored and asked ChatGPT to give me a list of skills, which can be learned only once and can not be forgotten, like swimming. It soon replied and I found touch typing the most interesting option. It takes only a month to significantly increase one's speed of typing and learn how to type without looking on your keyboard! I found this idea extremely enticing and made a quick online test to see my initial results. While average score is considered 40 or 50 WPM (words per minute), I was surprised to discover that mine was 62! I made this test a few more times and the results remained the same: accuracy 92-93%, pace of typing - 60-63 WPM. However, I set my goal is to reach 100 WPM with 98% accuracy till the end of the next month. I think in the long-term it will definitely save me some time and increase my general writing confidence.

Feedback

Your English is really good! The grammar was pretty much perfect, there were just a couple of minor errors related to word choice. :)

looking on -> looking at
more natural: speed of typing -> typing speed

Fully understandable, but not quite natural sounding. A few typical mistakes, but quite good.
