Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Старайтесь отвечать грамотно и связно: используйте корректные грамматические конструкции (например, «prefer X to Y»), избегайте повторов и говорите более конкретно. Добавьте связующее предложение и одно конкретное объяснение или пример. Обратите внимание на артикли и порядок слов («on the computer», «on the phone» не одновременно) и избегайте противоречивых формулировок.
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it's faster and more convenient for organizing information on my computer. For example, when I take notes during lectures I can quickly edit and search them later, which saves time. However, I still use handwriting for quick sketches or when I want to remember something better.

Score: 55.0Suggestion: Уменьшите запинки («uh») и завершайте мысли: давайте чёткое предложение темы, затем 1–2 поддерживающих детали, связанные словами («for example», «because»). Избегайте незаконченных фраз в конце и используйте правильный порядок слов («I mainly use my laptop keyboard»).
Example: I mainly use my laptop keyboard every day for studying, writing assignments and chatting with friends. For example, I type notes during online lectures and complete essays on my laptop because it's more portable than a desktop and convenient for schoolwork.

× I prefer typing than writing.
✓ I prefer typing to writing.
Use of 'prefer' should be followed by 'to' when comparing two activities ('prefer A to B'). Replace 'than' with 'to' to form the correct comparative structure.
× It is easier and convenient to write information on the computer.
✓ It is easier and more convenient to write information on the computer.
When joining two adjectives with 'and' modifying the same noun phrase, parallel structure requires both to be comparable: 'easier' (comparative) pairs with 'more convenient' (comparative). Add 'more' to 'convenient' to match 'easier'.
× Another reason it is easy to correct mistakes on the phone in the computer.
✓ Another reason is that it is easy to correct mistakes on the phone or on the computer.
Prepositions and nouns were used incorrectly and the sentence lacked a clear connector. Use 'on the phone' and 'on the computer' and connect alternatives with 'or'. Also add 'is that' for clarity.
× But handwriting is useful.
✓ However, handwriting is useful.
Sentence begins with 'But' in informal style; for a smoother transition and more formal cohesion use 'However,'. This is a style/structure improvement to fit spoken-to-written correction.
× I mainly type every day on my uh keyboard, laptop for starting, uh, for studying, for writing assignments and chatting online.
✓ I mainly type every day on my laptop keyboard for studying, writing assignments, and chatting online.
Word order and redundant fillers need removal. Place 'laptop keyboard' together, remove hesitation sounds ('uh') and redundancies, and use parallel gerunds for activities.
× It is uh easier and uh, faster to type uh with my close friends and.
✓ It is easier and faster to type when chatting with my close friends.
Remove hesitation fillers, complete the sentence (it ended with 'and'), and use 'when chatting with' to express the circumstance. Maintain parallel adjectives 'easier and faster'.
× I learned how to how to write when I was studying at school years and every every lesson we've practiced through typing keywords and eventually I've improved it.
✓ I learned how to type when I was at school, and in every lesson we practiced typing keywords, and eventually I improved.
Tense consistency and verb choice: 'learned how to type' is more precise than 'learned how to write' for keyboard skill. Remove duplicate words, use past simple 'we practiced' to match 'learned', and 'I improved' in past simple for sequence clarity. Avoid present perfect ('we've practiced') when describing past school routine.
× I did my best.
✓ I did my best.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed.
× My teacher gradually was proud of me that I.
✓ Gradually my teacher became proud of my progress.
Original sentence is incomplete and awkward. Use 'became proud of' and a noun ('my progress') to complete the idea and maintain past tense.
× I improve my practice doing regular UH activities, for example, while doing my homework, while writing assignments, while uh, chatting online with my friends.
✓ I improve by practicing regularly, for example when doing my homework, writing assignments, or chatting online with my friends.
Use 'practice' as a noun or 'practicing' as a gerund; here 'improve by practicing' is natural. Replace 'while' repetition with 'when' and use parallel gerunds. Remove hesitation 'uh' and correct word order.
× The the more you practice, the better your results improve or increase.
✓ The more you practice, the better your results will be.
Remove duplicated 'the'. Use the standard comparative correlative 'The more..., the better...'. 'Improve or increase' is redundant; 'the better your results will be' is concise and idiomatic.
