How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
Where should I improve by writing more and more because I have to write. So every time I'm write, uh, I, uh, I'm referring my class. I really like to type in. So to improve my even if it's not necessary, I really like to write it because it, it improve my skill. So I will say writing with more.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Be more concise and organized: give a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then add one or two specific reasons with linking words. Reduce hesitation and filler words, and correct small grammar issues (e.g. "depends on what I'm writing", "messages to friends/colleagues"). Aim for 2–4 sentences, using linking words like "because" or "however".
Example: I use both, but I generally prefer typing because it is faster and easier to edit. For informal messages to friends or quick notes I always type, however for formal letters to teachers or work I sometimes handwrite when a personal touch is needed.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Start with a clear direct sentence (e.g. "I usually use a laptop"). Avoid repetition and correct grammar ("I don't use a desktop", "it didn't come easily to me"). Provide one specific detail to support your statement (how often, what you use it for). Keep to 2–3 sentences.
Example: I usually type on a laptop rather than a desktop because I need to move between home and university. I type on it every day for essays and emails, and I find the laptop keyboard more convenient and familiar.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Begin with a clear time reference, then give one supporting detail about how you learned and one about your future goal. Fix tense and phrasing ("about ten years ago", "my teacher encouraged me", "I hope to improve my speed"). Keep it concise and natural with linking words like "since then" or "because".
Example: I learned to type about ten years ago in secondary school when a teacher encouraged us to practice touch-typing. Since then I have used it regularly, and I hope to increase my typing speed with regular practice.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Give a clear method and a specific example: state one or two concrete strategies you use (e.g. timed practice, online typing tests, copying texts) and a result or frequency. Remove hesitation and repetitive phrases, and use linking words like "for example" or "so".
Example: I improve my typing by practising regularly, for example I do 15 minutes of online typing tests three times a week. I also copy passages from my class notes to build accuracy, and this routine has noticeably increased my speed and reduced errors.
× Actually, I do, I do use both of them, but I prefer and I, it depends when to do what I'm do, uh, what I'm writing at that time.
✓ Actually, I do use both, but it depends on what I am doing and what I am writing at the time.
Pronoun and subject usage was confused and redundant ('I prefer and I, it depends' is unclear). Use 'it depends on' to refer to situations, and 'what I am doing' and 'what I am writing' are correct noun clauses. Remove extra pronouns and repetitions for clarity.
× So if it is, uh, messages to the reference, I prefer by, uh, typing or, or it is unofficial or I am sending letter to my teachers or my workplace, I really prefer to do.
✓ So if it is messages to friends or informal communications, I prefer typing; if I am sending a letter to my teachers or my workplace, I prefer handwriting.
Prepositions and nouns were incorrect ('messages to the reference' unclear, 'prefer by typing' should be 'prefer typing'). Use 'informal' instead of 'unofficial' in this context and 'handwriting' or 'writing a letter' for formal communications. Structure the conditional clearly with commas and parallel phrasing.
× I am not someone who use for desktop, so I really get to use it by typing with laptop and I really enjoy it.
✓ I am not someone who uses a desktop, so I usually type on my laptop and really enjoy it.
Relative clause with 'who' requires third person singular verb 'uses'. Also 'use for desktop' is incorrect; say 'uses a desktop' or 'uses a desktop computer'. Simplify 'get to use it by typing with laptop' to 'type on my laptop' for natural phrasing.
× I even tried before 1 by writing desktop at didn't come easy to me.
✓ I even tried using a desktop before, but it didn't come easily to me.
Original sentence has fragmented structure and misplaced elements ('1 by writing desktop at'). Use 'using a desktop' and a contrasting conjunction 'but'. Use adverb 'easily' ('it didn't come easily to me').
× So from now on I'm using for lap my laptop.
✓ So from now on I'm using my laptop.
Word order and extra preposition 'for lap' are incorrect. Use 'using my laptop' for clear and natural phrasing.
× It was almost 10 years ago when I was in my secondary school, so my teacher recommended me to start and get used to that skill and from that time I'm really using it and I enjoy it from and in the future I hope I can really improve my typing by adding bit more faster.
✓ It was almost ten years ago when I was in secondary school; my teacher recommended that I start and get used to that skill. Since then I have been using it and enjoying it, and in the future I hope I can improve my typing by becoming a bit faster.
Use past simple for the event 'was' and 'recommended', and use 'recommended that I start' (subjunctive or 'recommended I start'). Use present perfect 'have been using' to describe an action continuing to present. 'Adding bit more faster' is ungrammatical; say 'becoming a bit faster' or 'increasing my speed'.
× Where should I improve by writing more and more because I have to write.
✓ I should improve by writing more and more because I have to write regularly.
Question 'Where should I improve' mismatches intent; change to declarative. 'By writing more and more' is acceptable but add 'regularly' for clarity. Ensure sentence matches the speaker's intention.
× So every time I'm write, uh, I, uh, I'm referring my class.
✓ So every time I write, I refer to my class notes.
Use correct verb form 'write' (not 'I'm write') and the verb 'refer to' requires 'to'. 'My class' is vague; 'class notes' clarifies. Remove filler words for fluency.
× I really like to type in.
✓ I really like to type.
Preposition 'in' is unnecessary and incorrect here. 'I like to type' is complete and natural.
× So to improve my even if it's not necessary, I really like to write it because it, it improve my skill.
✓ So to improve, even if it's not necessary, I like to write because it improves my skill.
Subject-verb agreement: 'it improve' should be 'it improves' (third person singular). Also reorder clause for clarity: 'to improve, even if it's not necessary'. Remove extra pronouns and filler words.
× So I will say writing with more.
✓ So I would say writing more often will help.
Original fragment 'writing with more' is incomplete. Use conditional 'I would say' and complete the thought: 'writing more often will help' to express recommendation.
