Sence-Lang Typing Test 3

Today room 23 have taken the sense-lang typing test again. This time my results were the following my words per minute are 14. The number of typed characters was 49. The number of mistakes were 10 and my success percentage was 80%. My next goal is to type 16 words per minute so I can touch type faster. I will go on to this website a lot so I can get better at it. I hope that by the end of this year I will be able to type better and faster.

Kevin

For the past four weeks we have had a Korean student in our class. His New Zealand name is Kevin and his Korean name is Ko Dong Hyun. He has been really nice and has learnt a lot about our class. We have all enjoyed having him in the class. Unfortunately he is leaving us on Sunday so we gave him a bag of kiwiana items. we also had a very fun and nosy shared lunch. We wish him and all the other Korean students a happy and safe trip. Have a safe trip Kevin it was awesome having you in our class!!!!!!!!
