Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid filler words (uh). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., "more easy" → "easier", "a many practice" → "much practice").
Example: I prefer handwriting because it feels easier for me and I write more clearly. For example, I practiced handwriting in school and can write quickly without looking at keys, so I feel more confident using a pen.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Begin with a direct answer (Yes/No or frequency), reduce repetition, and use linking words (because, so). Fix grammar and pluralization ("short task" → "short tasks"). Add a brief specific example of what you type.
Example: Yes, I type on a laptop or desktop almost every day because I'm busy with my studies. However, I mainly use it for short tasks, such as checking emails and writing quick notes, rather than composing long documents.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Answer the 'when' directly (e.g., at school, as a child) with a clear time reference, then add a brief supporting detail. Avoid repeating previous points and correct unclear phrases ("brief tests", "preparing look documents").
Example: I learned to type when I was at secondary school, around age 12, during computer classes. Since then I have used keyboards daily for simple tasks like emails and notes rather than long reports.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Start with a clear statement of your method, use specific details and time expressions, and avoid fillers. Mention a concrete practice plan and any tools or exercises you use to show progress.
Example: I improve my typing by practicing for 20 minutes every day as part of my routine. For example, I use online typing exercises and type short essays to build speed and accuracy, and I track my progress weekly.
× Honestly, I prefer handwriting because uh, it is more easy than uh, typing because I don't have a many practice on uh, keyboards.
✓ Honestly, I prefer handwriting because it is easier than typing since I don't have much practice with keyboards.
Use the comparative form 'easier' (adjective comparative) rather than 'more easy'. 'A many practice' is incorrect: use 'much practice' (uncountable noun) and 'with keyboards' is the correct preposition. Also remove filler words for clarity.
× Uh, so I prefer handwritten.
✓ So I prefer handwriting.
'Handwritten' is an adjective meaning 'written by hand' but here a noun 'handwriting' or gerund is appropriate to express the action or style. Using 'handwriting' matches the question about typing vs handwriting.
× Every day I I really type on desktop or laptop keyboard 'cause I'm usually too busy with my studies.
✓ Every day I type on a desktop or laptop keyboard because I'm usually busy with my studies.
Remove duplicated 'I', add definite article 'a' before 'desktop or laptop keyboard', and use 'because' instead of informal ''cause'. This corrects sentence flow and article usage.
× When I do type it's mostly for short task like checking emails or writing quick notes other other than documents.
✓ When I do type, it's mostly for short tasks like checking emails or writing quick notes rather than documents.
'Short task' should be plural 'short tasks' to match 'mostly'; 'other other than' is wrong—use 'rather than' to contrast. Also add a comma after the subordinate clause.
× When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
✓ When did you learn to type on a keyboard?
Use 'learn to do something' or 'learn how to do something' — both are acceptable. This suggested correction uses the more concise 'learn to type'. (This is a minor wording improvement rather than a grammatical error.)
× I type and I type on desktop or laptop keyboard everyday because I'm usually busy with my studies.
✓ I type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day because I'm usually busy with my studies.
Remove repeated phrase 'I type and I type', add article 'a', split 'everyday' into two words 'every day' (adverbial phrase), improving grammar and readability.
× When I do type, it's mostly for brief tests like checking emails, writing quick notes rather than preparing look documents.
✓ When I do type, it's mostly for brief tasks like checking emails and writing quick notes rather than preparing long documents.
'Brief tests' is incorrect here; 'brief tasks' fits the meaning. 'Look documents' is likely a typo for 'long documents'. Use 'and' to join activities instead of a comma before 'rather than'.
× I usually do the practice with the daily routines, uh, on a keyboard.
✓ I usually practice with my daily routine on the keyboard.
Use the verb 'practice' rather than the noun phrase 'do the practice'. 'Daily routine' is singular and possessive 'my' clarifies ownership. Use 'on the keyboard' as the correct prepositional phrase.
× I decided to have everyday 20 minutes for uh, writing and uh, like habits.
✓ I decided to spend 20 minutes every day writing to build a habit.
Place 'every day' after the time expression or use '20 minutes every day'. 'Have 20 minutes' is less natural than 'spend 20 minutes'. 'Like habits' is vague—'to build a habit' is clearer and grammatically correct.
