Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason with brief detail. Avoid vague phrases like "on technology" and incorrect collocations such as "turn it to the handwriting." Use correct grammar and linking words (e.g. "because" or "so").
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it's more comfortable and faster. For example, typing on a keyboard doesn't strain my fingers, whereas long periods of handwriting often make my fingertips sore.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Clarify meaning and correct word choice. Start with a direct answer (laptop), explain one clear reason using correct vocabulary (e.g. "I don't have a desktop"). Keep it to two sentences and avoid filler words. Use a linking word like "because."
Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop. It's more convenient and portable, so I can work from different places.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Provide a clear past-time answer and use correct past tense. Begin with "I learned when..." then give a brief context and one specific detail. Fix grammar errors (brought, taught us, tried to type on them).
Example: I learned to type when I was 11 at school. My teacher brought laptops to class and taught us basic typing exercises, which helped me become faster.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Be specific about methods and use correct tense and vocabulary. Start with a direct statement about what you do now to improve (e.g. practice daily, use online typing exercises). Give one concrete example and avoid vague references like "interesting history."
Example: I improve my typing by practising for 20 minutes daily using online typing tests and lessons. For example, I use a typing app that gives drills and measures my words per minute, so I can track progress.
× I prefer typing because when I type something on technology my fingers are feeling very comfortable, but when I turn it to the handwriting my fingertips are very exhausted.
✓ I prefer typing because when I type on a device my fingers feel very comfortable, but when I switch to handwriting my fingertips get very tired.
Pronoun and noun choice: 'on technology' is unnatural; use 'on a device'. 'Turn it to the handwriting' is incorrect pronoun and phrase—use 'switch to handwriting'. Verb form: 'are feeling' and 'are very exhausted' are awkward; use simple present 'feel' for habitual states and 'get very tired' to describe resulting condition. Suggestions: use specific nouns (device) and simple present for habitual preferences; replace 'exhausted' with 'tired' for fingers.
× Actually, I don't have any Tesco, that's why I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I think it's more, uh, easy and. Portable for me, so that's why I prefer typing on the laptop keyboard.
✓ Actually, I don't have a desktop, so I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I think it's easier and more portable for me, so I prefer typing on a laptop.
Wrong word: 'Tesco' (store) likely intended 'desktop'. Pronoun/structure: 'that's why' repeated; combine sentences for clarity. Adjective/adverb: 'more easy' is incorrect; use comparative 'easier'. 'Portable' should be paired with 'more' when comparing; place adjectives correctly. Suggestions: use the correct noun 'desktop', use 'easier' not 'more easy', and simplify redundancy ('so'/'that's why').
× When I was 11 uh at school, my teacher bring us a laptop to the class and we try to type in them.
✓ When I was 11 at school, my teacher brought a laptop to class and we tried to type on it.
Tense errors: 'bring' and 'try' should be past tense 'brought' and 'tried' to match 'When I was 11'. Pronoun/reference errors: 'us a laptop to the class' is awkward; use 'brought a laptop to class'. Preposition and number agreement: 'type in them' incorrect; use singular 'type on it' because 'a laptop' is singular. Suggestions: keep past tense consistent and make pronouns and prepositions match singular/plural nouns.
× So I think my teacher learned us how to type on the.
✓ So I think my teacher taught us how to type.
Wrong verb: 'learned us' is incorrect; teacher 'taught' students. Extra fragment: 'on the' is incomplete and unnecessary. Pronoun/object placement: use 'taught us' (teacher as subject teaching students). Suggestions: use 'taught' for teacher actions and remove unfinished fragments.
× After that day, which is teacher bring us the laptop, I tried every day to type on keyboard very fast because I saw a interesting history about keyboarding.
✓ After that day, when the teacher brought the laptop, I practiced typing on the keyboard every day to become faster because I read an interesting history about keyboarding.
Awkward clause and tense: 'which is teacher bring us the laptop' is ungrammatical; use 'when the teacher brought the laptop'. Verb choice: 'tried every day to type on keyboard very fast' is awkward—use 'practiced typing on the keyboard every day to become faster'. Article use: 'a interesting' should be 'an interesting'. Verb tense and reference: 'saw a interesting history' is odd; use 'read an interesting history' or 'saw an interesting video'. Suggestions: restructure the sentence with a clear temporal clause, correct past tense 'brought', use 'practiced' for repeated action, and correct article 'an'.
