Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Be more concise and organize your answer: state your preference clearly, give one or two specific reasons with concrete details, and avoid fillers (umm, uh). Use linking words to connect points (for example, because, and, so). Keep it under five sentences.
Example: I prefer handwriting because it helps me think more clearly and remember things better. For example, when I take notes by hand I can draw diagrams and highlight key ideas, which makes studying more effective. Therefore, handwriting feels more personal and calming to me.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 44.0Suggestion: Answer directly and clearly: begin with a clear statement (yes/no and which device), then give a specific reason and an example. Remove hesitation and unclear phrases. Use linking words like because or so to show cause.
Example: Yes, I type every day on a laptop because I work from home and it is portable. For example, I can move between my desk and sofa while continuing tasks, so I find the laptop keyboard more convenient than a desktop.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Provide a clear time reference, describe the learning process with specific details, and use appropriate vocabulary (e.g., ‘muscle memory’). Keep sentences concise and use linking words such as when, although, and so.
Example: I learned to type about ten years ago when my father bought our first family computer. At first it was difficult, but with daily practice I developed muscle memory, and now I can type quickly and accurately.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 46.0Suggestion: Explain specific methods you used to improve (practice routines, online lessons, exercises) and organize the answer: state the method, give a brief example, and mention the result. Avoid vague phrases like ‘after time inconsistency’—use clearer expressions such as ‘over time’ or ‘with regular practice’.
Example: I improved my typing by practicing for 20 minutes daily and using online typing lessons to track my speed and accuracy. For example, I practiced touch-typing exercises and completed drills that focused on common letter combinations; as a result, my speed increased and I make fewer errors.
× To be honest, I prefer handwriting 'cause, umm, when I'm writing down something on a paper, it's clear for me, uh, it's emotional and it's more visible, uh, for me, it helps me to clean my mind.
✓ To be honest, I prefer handwriting because when I write something on paper it is clearer to me, it feels more personal, and it helps me clear my mind.
The original used informal 'cause and filler words and had awkward conjunction use and word order (e.g., 'when I'm writing down something on a paper'). Replace 'cause' with 'because', remove fillers, use simple present progressive only where needed, and correct idiomatic expressions: 'write something on paper', 'clearer to me', 'feels more personal', 'helps me clear my mind'. Ensure sentence flow with commas and conjunctions. Grammar problem type ID:16
× Yes, I don't umm, when I'm working on laptop, I'm typing something on keyboard system only consistency.
✓ Yes, when I work on my laptop I only type using the keyboard.
Original has missing subjects/objects and incorrect pronoun/determiner use ('on laptop' should be 'on my laptop', 'on keyboard system' is awkward). Remove filler 'I don't umm' which is incomplete. Use simple present 'when I work' to indicate habitual action and 'only' placed before verb phrase for correct emphasis. Grammar problem type ID:12
× Uh, and their reason why I'm using it is that my working is becoming comfortable.
✓ The reason I use it is that my work becomes more comfortable.
'Their' is incorrect pronoun; use 'the' or restructure 'The reason I use it'. 'My working' is unnatural; use 'my work' or 'working' with gerund structure. Use simple present to state habitual result: 'becomes more comfortable.' Grammar problem type ID:12
× I learned it some years ago when my father bought first computer in our family and at first time using keyboard was really hard, but our muscle is working and our muscle is making strength every day, every day so.
✓ I learned it a few years ago when my father bought the first computer for our family. At first using the keyboard was really hard, but my muscles got stronger as I practised every day.
Several tense and article errors: use 'a few years ago' for past time, include definite article 'the first computer', and 'for our family'. 'At first using the keyboard' is better than 'at first time'. Describe change in past with past tense 'was' and 'got stronger' instead of present continuous 'is working'. Use plural 'muscles' and 'practised' (or 'practiced') for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:5
× I learned it some years ago when my father bought first computer in our family and at first time using keyboard was really hard, but our muscle is working and our muscle is making strength every day, every day so.
✓ I learned it a few years ago when my father bought the first computer for our family; at first, using the keyboard was really hard, but my muscles became stronger as I practised every day.
Alternate correction merging clauses with correct punctuation, article use, and past-tense consistency. Use 'became' for past change and 'practised' to show repeated action in the past. Grammar problem type ID:5
× At first time when I did not have any experience of typing, I was trying quite hardly to find some alphabets on the keyboard.
✓ At first, when I had no typing experience, I tried very hard to find the letters on the keyboard.
Tense and adverb placement: use simple past 'had' and 'tried' for past habitual action. 'Quite hardly' is incorrect; use 'very hard'. 'Alphabets' should be 'letters' in this context. Remove unnecessary 'time'. Grammar problem type ID:5
× But after time inconsistency I learned it.
✓ But after some time and practice, I learned it.
'After time inconsistency' is unclear and ungrammatical. Use 'after some time and practice' or 'after a while' to indicate gradual improvement. This corrects preposition and word choice. Grammar problem type ID:11
× So I used to my muscle and it's easy now.
✓ So I trained my muscles, and now it is easy.
'Used to my muscle' is incorrect. Use 'trained my muscles' or 'practised so my muscles learned the motions'. Use 'now it is easy' for present result. Fix pronoun and verb choice. Grammar problem type ID:12
