Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 63.0Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition and fillers. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Correct grammar (use present perfect or simple present correctly) and avoid repeating words.
Example: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember information better. For example, when I write notes in a notebook, I tend to recall them more easily than typed notes. Therefore, I usually handwrite important points for study and planning.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, then provide clear reasons using linking words and correct grammar. Remove hesitations and vague phrases. Be specific about convenience and context.
Example: I type on a laptop every day because it is portable and convenient for working in different places. For instance, during the recent work-from-home period I often move between my living room and bedroom, so a laptop suits my needs better than a desktop.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Use correct verb tenses and a clear time expression in the topic sentence. Provide one or two specific details in sequence using linking words (first, then, because). Remove fillers and correct prepositions.
Example: I learned to type when I was a child. First, I played computer games that required chatting with other players, so I practiced typing messages frequently, which improved my basic skills.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Begin with a clear statement about how you improved, then give specific methods and results using linking words. Fix tense agreement and eliminate repeated words. Mention concrete practices if possible (timed exercises, software, daily practice).
Example: My typing improved mainly through work experience. Because I had to take quick notes in meetings and write summaries afterward, I practiced typing under time pressure and gradually became faster and more accurate. I also used short daily exercises to maintain speed.
× Personally, I prefer handwriting because it's helped me to Remember Remember what I write in the notebook because when I type, I usually type when I have to do work, but uh, most of the time I lack of memory.
✓ Personally, I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember what I write in my notebook; when I type, I usually do it for work, and most of the time I have poor memory.
Original contains incorrect verb forms and awkward phrases. 'it's helped me to Remember Remember' mixes present perfect with infinitive and repeats words; use simple present 'it helps me remember' for habitual effect. 'what I write in the notebook' -> 'what I write in my notebook' uses correct possessive. 'when I type, I usually type when I have to do work' is repetitive; simplify to 'when I type, I usually do it for work'. 'I lack of memory' is incorrect: 'lack' does not take 'of' here; use 'I have poor memory' or 'I often forget things'. Use semicolon or conjunction to connect clauses and remove filler words.
× I type on the laptop keyboard every day because laptop is more convenient to bring whatever, when, wherever you go was uh, especially during this time that we have work from home policy. So.
✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because a laptop is more convenient to take with you wherever you go, especially now that we have a work-from-home policy.
Errors: missing and incorrect articles ('the laptop keyboard' -> 'a laptop keyboard' and 'laptop is' -> 'a laptop is'). 'to bring whatever, when, wherever you go' is awkward; use 'take with you wherever you go.' 'during this time that we have work from home policy' should be 'now that we have a work-from-home policy.' Remove filler 'uh' and trailing 'So.' Use hyphens in 'work-from-home' as a compound modifier.
× I start to type on the keyboard when I was a child. Umm at that time I start to play the game in the computer 1st and then I have to write to have a conversation to with the people in the game.
✓ I started typing on the keyboard when I was a child. At that time I first played games on the computer, and then I had to type to converse with other players in the game.
Tense inconsistency: 'I start to type' should match past time 'when I was a child' so use past 'I started typing.' 'start to play the game in the computer 1st' -> 'first played games on the computer' (word order, article and ordinal). 'I have to write to have a conversation to with the people' contains wrong tense and extra prepositions: use past 'I had to type to converse with the people' and remove redundant 'to' and correct preposition 'with.' Also replace 'play the game' with 'play games' and 'in the computer' with 'on the computer'.
× For me, my typing skill improve significantly when I start doing work, because in every meeting I have to take note very quickly to catch up with the conversations and have to to do the summary afterward.
✓ For me, my typing skills improved significantly when I started working, because in every meeting I have to take notes very quickly to keep up with the conversation and then write a summary afterward.
Tense and agreement errors: 'my typing skill improve' should be past and plural 'my typing skills improved' to match 'when I started doing work.' 'start doing work' -> 'started working.' 'take note' should be plural 'take notes.' 'to catch up with the conversations' -> 'to keep up with the conversation' (idiomatic). Remove duplicated 'to' in 'have to to do.' 'do the summary' -> 'write a summary' is more natural.
