Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
I prefer typing because it's more convenient and it is easier, easily accessible, uh, than handwriting. Uh, digital documents can be stored in our laptops or in our phones, but uh, the handwriting ones cannot be stored easily and the digital ones can be easily accessible from any device. So yeah, that's why.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
I have a laptop, so that's why I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard. It's more easier to carry a laptop anywhere with me. Uh, because desktop is huge and it's not practically possible to carry it. So yeah, I prefer uh, so I use laptop keyboard every day.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
Uh, during my childhood, in my third class, we were introduced to a new subject with this computer, and we used to have computer lab classes as well. So whenever we used to go to the lab classes, we were taught to how to type or do basic things on computer like use Ms. Excel or Ms. Paint. So yeah, that's the first moment where I learned typing on the keyboard.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
Practice with some aren't perfect. So if a person wants to excel in typing, he or she should prefer typing more rather than her writing. They can do one practice, which I used to do earlier, that they should set a timing for like 15 or 20 minutes and they should think of something and uh, and set a goal of writing 200 to 1200 thousand words in the in within that time.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Make your answer more concise and fluent. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh, um), reduce repetition, and add one specific reason or example. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, because, furthermore).
Example: I prefer typing because it is more convenient and easier to organize. For example, I can store documents on my laptop and access them from my phone, which saves time and prevents loss of notes.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence and one clear supporting reason without repeating the same point. Remove fillers and tighten grammar (e.g., "more easier" → "easier").
Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because I own a laptop and it is portable. Since desktops are bulky, a laptop lets me work in different places like the library or a café.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Be concise and use correct verb forms. Start with a clear time reference and one or two specific details about learning. Remove unnecessary repetition ("used to").
Example: I learned to type in the third grade during computer lab lessons. We practiced basic skills like typing, using MS Excel and MS Paint, which helped me become familiar with the keyboard.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Organize the answer with a clear method and specific, realistic practice details. Fix unclear phrases and impossible numbers ("1200 thousand"). Use linking words (for example, first, then) and avoid gendered or awkward pronouns.
Example: To improve typing, I practice regularly. For example, first I set a timer for 15–20 minutes, then I type continuously on a topic aiming for 200–400 words to build speed and accuracy. I also use online typing tests to track my progress.
× I prefer typing because it's more convenient and it is easier, easily accessible, uh, than handwriting.
✓ I prefer typing because it's more convenient and easier and more easily accessible than handwriting.
Redundant comparative constructions and incorrect adverb placement: 'more convenient and it is easier, easily accessible' is awkward. Combine comparatives and use 'easier' (adjective) and 'more easily accessible' (adverb phrase) correctly. Suggestion: use parallel structure 'more convenient and easier' and then add 'more easily accessible' to modify 'accessible'.
× Uh, digital documents can be stored in our laptops or in our phones, but uh, the handwriting ones cannot be stored easily and the digital ones can be easily accessible from any device.
✓ Digital documents can be stored on our laptops or phones, but handwritten documents cannot be stored easily; digital ones are easily accessible from any device.
Pronoun and noun form issues plus preposition errors: 'the handwriting ones' is incorrect; use 'handwritten documents'. Preposition 'in our phones' should be 'on our phones'. Also 'can be easily accessible' is wrong because 'accessible' is an adjective and needs linking verb 'are'. Use clearer parallel structure.
× I have a laptop, so that's why I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard.
✓ I have a laptop, so I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard.
Unnecessary demonstrative 'that's why' with 'so' is redundant. This is an article/usage clarity issue: removing redundancy yields a smoother sentence while keeping article 'a laptop keyboard' correct.
× It's more easier to carry a laptop anywhere with me.
✓ It's easier to carry a laptop anywhere with me.
Comparative error: 'more easier' is incorrect because 'easier' already contains the comparative. Remove 'more'. Also consider shortening to 'It's easier to carry my laptop anywhere.' for natural phrasing.
× Uh, because desktop is huge and it's not practically possible to carry it.
✓ Because a desktop is large and it's not practical to carry it.
Missing article: use 'a desktop'. 'Huge' is acceptable but 'large' is more formal; 'not practically possible' is awkward—use 'not practical' or 'not possible'. Also sentence beginning 'Uh, because' can be combined with previous clause.
× So yeah, I prefer uh, so I use laptop keyboard every day.
✓ So I prefer it, and I use my laptop keyboard every day.
Redundant 'so' and missing possessive article: use 'my laptop keyboard'. Fix structure by connecting preferences and action with 'and'.
× Uh, during my childhood, in my third class, we were introduced to a new subject with this computer, and we used to have computer lab classes as well.
✓ During my childhood, in third grade, we were introduced to computers as a new subject, and we had computer lab classes as well.
Tense and word choice: 'in my third class' should be 'in third grade' or 'in my third grade'. 'Introduced to a new subject with this computer' is awkward; use 'introduced to computers as a new subject'. 'Used to have' is acceptable but simple past 'we had' is clearer.
× So whenever we used to go to the lab classes, we were taught to how to type or do basic things on computer like use Ms. Excel or Ms. Paint.
✓ Whenever we went to the lab, we were taught how to type and do basic things on the computer, such as using MS Excel or MS Paint.
Incorrect infinitive/structure: 'were taught to how to type' is wrong; use 'were taught how to type'. Also 'do basic things on computer' needs article 'the computer'. Use gerund 'using MS Excel' for parallelism.
× So yeah, that's the first moment where I learned typing on the keyboard.
✓ So yeah, that was the first time I learned to type on the keyboard.
Use correct noun phrase: 'first moment where I learned typing' is awkward. Use 'first time' and infinitive 'learned to type'.
× Practice with some aren't perfect.
✓ Practice is important; no one is perfect at first.
Original is ungrammatical and unclear. Replace with a clear sentence conveying the intended meaning: emphasize that practice matters and perfection comes later.
× So if a person wants to excel in typing, he or she should prefer typing more rather than her writing.
✓ So if a person wants to excel in typing, they should practice typing more rather than handwriting.
Pronoun inconsistency and word choice: 'he or she' followed by 'her writing' mismatches gender and case. Use singular 'they' for neutrality and change 'prefer typing more rather than her writing' to 'practice typing more rather than handwriting' for clarity.
× They can do one practice, which I used to do earlier, that they should set a timing for like 15 or 20 minutes and they should think of something and uh, and set a goal of writing 200 to 1200 thousand words in the in within that time.
✓ One exercise I used to do was to set a timer for 15 or 20 minutes, think of a topic, and set a goal of writing 200 to 1,200 words within that time.
Numerical and wording errors: 'set a timing' should be 'set a timer'. '200 to 1200 thousand words' is wrong—either 1,200 or 1,200,000; intended is likely 1,200. Remove redundancies 'in the in within that time'. Use parallel verbs 'set, think, and set' and correct number formatting.
