Score: 58.0Suggestion: 대답은 명확하지만 문법적 오류와 중복 표현이 있고 논리 흐름이 매끄럽지 않습니다. 1) 주제문을 간결하게 말한 뒤 이유를 1~2개로 정리하세요. 2) ‘shape of text’ 대신 ‘handwriting’과 관련된 자연스러운 어휘(legible, neat, attractive)를 사용하세요. 3) 문장 연결을 위해 because, so, and 같은 연결어를 적절히 사용하고 불필요한 반복은 피하세요. 예문을 소리 내어 여러 번 연습해 자연스럽게 말하도록 하세요.
Example: I prefer handwriting because my handwriting is neat and people often compliment it. For example, my child always tells me it looks attractive, which makes me enjoy writing by hand more than typing.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: 내용은 전달되지만 문법 오류(시제, 어순, 관사 등)와 중복 표현이 많습니다. 1) 간결한 주제문으로 시작하고 이유를 하나 또는 두 개로 정리하세요. 2) ‘portable to take anywhere’ 대신 ‘portable’ 또는 ‘easy to carry’처럼 자연스러운 표현을 사용하세요. 3) 연결사와 관사 사용에 주의하고 불필요한 단어는 제거하세요. 문장을 간단하게 만들어 발음 연습을 하세요.
Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because a laptop is portable and easy to carry on the subway. As a student who commutes, I prefer something compact and convenient for travel.

Score: 45.0Suggestion: 시간과 배경을 말하려 했으나 표현이 부정확하고 문장이 끊어져 이해하기 어렵습니다. 1) ‘learned to type’ 같은 올바른 동사구를 사용하세요. 2) 불필요한 단어(‘method to cut type’)를 피하고, 연결문장은 완전한 형태로 만드세요. 3) 한두 문장으로 언제, 어디서, 누구와 배웠는지 간단히 설명하세요.

How do you improve your typing?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: 의도는 좋지만 문법과 어휘 선택이 부정확하고 과장된 표현이 자연스럽지 않습니다. 1) 현재 방법을 말할 때 현재시제를 사용하세요 (I improve / I improved 혼동 금지). 2) 자연스러운 표현으로 ‘by practicing a lot’ 또는 ‘through regular practice’ 등을 사용하세요. 3) 과장 표현은 피하고 구체적 예시(예: 하루에 30분씩 타이핑 연습)를 제시하면 더 설득력 있습니다.
Example: I improve my typing through regular practice. For example, I spend about 30 minutes each day on typing exercises and use online drills to increase my speed and accuracy.
× My shape of text is very pretty, so I heard that I received my compliments from my child, so I prefer handwriting.
✓ The shape of my handwriting is very pretty, and I have received compliments from my child, so I prefer handwriting.
You used 'shape of text' which is unnatural; 'handwriting' or 'shape of my handwriting' is correct. 'Very pretty' is acceptable but 'the shape of my handwriting' is more natural. 'I heard that I received my compliments' is incorrect: you should say 'I have received compliments' (present perfect) to indicate experience. Also avoid repeating 'so' twice; combine clauses with 'and'. Suggestion: say 'The shape of my handwriting is very pretty, and I have received compliments from my child, so I prefer handwriting.'
× I type on a laptop keyboard because it's very portable to take anywhere.
✓ I type on a laptop keyboard because it's very portable and easy to take anywhere.
The phrase 'portable to take anywhere' is ungrammatical. Use 'portable and easy to take anywhere' or 'easy to carry anywhere.' The preposition 'on' is fine with 'type on a keyboard.' Suggest saying 'easy to take anywhere' or 'easy to carry around.'
× I'm a student so I always use the subway so I want the something that can I take away.
✓ I'm a student, so I always take the subway and I want something that I can take with me.
'The something' is incorrect; use 'something.' Word order 'that can I take away' is wrong; modal or relative clause should be 'that I can take with me.' Also replace duplicate 'so' with punctuation. Use 'take the subway' rather than 'use the subway.'
× I learned the method to cut type on a keyboard when I was nine years old.
✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was nine years old.
'To cut type' is incorrect and unidiomatic. The correct verb phrase is 'learned how to type' or 'learned to type.' Use 'how to type' for clarity. This fixes the verb and meaning.
× My mother. Uh had me to go to the Academy where teach us these skills about computer.
✓ My mother had me go to an academy where they taught us computer skills.
Fragmented sentence 'My mother. Uh had me to go' should be combined. Use 'had me go' (causative) not 'had me to go.' 'the Academy' is too specific; 'an academy' or 'the academy' depending context. Also 'where teach us these skills about computer' is ungrammatical; correct is 'where they taught us computer skills.'
× I improved my typing skills just the amount of practice.
✓ I improved my typing skills simply by practicing a lot.
Original 'just the amount of practice' is awkward. Use present participle or gerund 'by practicing' to express method. 'Improved' past tense is OK if talking about past improvement; 'simply by practicing a lot' is natural.
× I was called the practice board practice bug because I practice all the time, even not sleeping because I want to be the best students in the class.
✓ I was nicknamed 'the practice bug' because I practiced all the time, even skipping sleep, because I wanted to be the best student in the class.
'Was called the practice board practice bug' is confused; use 'nicknamed' or 'was called the practice bug.' Use consistent tense: past simple 'practiced' if describing past behavior. 'Even not sleeping' should be 'even skipping sleep.' 'The best students' should be singular 'the best student' to agree with 'I.' Also remove redundant 'practice' and correct word order.
