I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard every day, and I have been continuing to do so whenever I do my assignments from university. I actually prefer to type on a laptop keyboard as it's.

Actually, my mother was the one who taught me how to type on a keyboard when I was 8 years old. This is the time I started to go to high school and eventually I mastered it.

How do you improve your typing?

I usually try to type with both hands. This is because I like to keep both hands working at the same time and also I try to remember each key in the keyboard by memory because it's hard to find.

Part 1

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, but a bit long and slightly repetitive. Start with a concise topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with brief examples. Avoid repeating the same idea (e.g., remembering more) and correct minor tense/word choices.

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it helps me concentrate better. For example, when I type lecture notes I can organize them quickly and later search for keywords, which helps me remember details more effectively.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Your main point is clear, but the answer is repetitive and ends abruptly. Give one solid reason (portability, comfort, or convenience) and finish the sentence. Use a linking word to add a supporting detail or example.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it's portable and convenient for campus work. For instance, I can take my laptop to the library or café and finish assignments without being tied to a single desk.

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Good content and a personal detail, but check factual consistency (age vs. school stage) and avoid vague claims like "eventually I mastered it" without a brief example. Use concise linking words to make the chronology clear.

Example: I learned to type when I was eight; my mother taught me basic touch-typing then. By the time I started primary school I was comfortable with most keys, and later practice at school helped me reach a high speed.

How do you improve your typing?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: You answer the question but give repetitive and slightly unclear explanations. State one clear method first (e.g., touch-typing practice), then add a specific technique or resource (typing software, timed tests) and a brief result. Use linking words for coherence.

Example: I improve my typing by practicing touch-typing with both hands and using online typing programs. For example, I do 10-minute daily drills on a typing website and track my speed, which has helped reduce my errors and increase my words-per-minute.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× I prefer typing because it helps me to stay focused and also when I type things I tend to remember it a lot more than writing.

I prefer typing because it helps me stay focused, and when I type things I tend to remember them much more than when I write.

Pronoun and tense consistency: 'it helps me to stay focused' is correct but 'helps me stay focused' is more natural (remove extra to). 'I tend to remember it a lot more than writing' is unclear: 'it' should refer to 'things' (plural), so use 'them', and compare actions with a full clause 'than when I write'. Also 'a lot more' -> 'much more' is stylistic for formal clarity.

Past tense issue

× I used to enjoy typing since my childhood.

I have enjoyed typing since my childhood.

Use of tense: 'used to' indicates a past habit that no longer happens. To express a habit continuing from childhood to present, use present perfect 'have enjoyed' with 'since'. 'Since my childhood' indicates starting point and requires present perfect.

Verb in the present participle form

× I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard every day, and I have been continuing to do so whenever I do my assignments from university.

I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard every day, and I have continued to do so whenever I do assignments for university.

Incorrect continuous perfect progressive: 'have been continuing' is awkward; use present perfect 'have continued' to show an action that has persisted. Preposition and article: 'do my assignments from university' should be 'do assignments for university' or 'my university assignments'.

Sentence structure errors

× I actually prefer to type on a laptop keyboard as it's.

I actually prefer to type on a laptop keyboard because it's more convenient.

Incomplete clause: 'as it's' is a fragment; it needs a complement. Provide a clear reason, e.g., 'because it's more convenient' to complete the sentence.

Past tense issue

× Actually, my mother was the one who taught me how to type on a keyboard when I was 8 years old.

My mother taught me how to type on a keyboard when I was eight years old.

Verb tense and style: Simple past 'taught' is sufficient; 'was the one who taught me' is wordy. Write numerals as words in formal writing: 'eight'.

Present tense issue

× This is the time I started to go to high school and eventually I mastered it.

That was when I started high school, and eventually I mastered typing.

Tense consistency: 'This is the time I started' mixes present and past; use past 'That was when I started'. Clarify object of 'mastered' as 'typing' instead of 'it' for clarity.

Verb + -ing form

× I usually try to type with both hands.

I usually try to type with both hands.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. 'Try to type' is acceptable and matches meaning.

Present participle form

× This is because I like to keep both hands working at the same time and also I try to remember each key in the keyboard by memory because it's hard to find.

This is because I like to keep both hands working at the same time, and I try to memorize the position of each key on the keyboard because they are hard to find by touch.

Word choice and pronoun agreement: 'remember each key in the keyboard by memory' is awkward. Use 'memorize the position of each key on the keyboard'. 'It's hard to find' is vague—clarify 'they are hard to find by touch'. Also ensure plural agreement 'they' for 'keys'.
