Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Use a correct comparative structure, make the answer more concise, and add a specific reason with an example. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one supporting detail and a brief example. Avoid redundant wording.
Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because writing by hand helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes in lectures, writing key points on paper makes it easier for me to recall them later during exams.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be careful with word choice and grammar (use 'lighter' and 'cheaper' correctly) and make the comparison clearer. Give one concise reason and, if possible, a brief detail about how you use it daily.
Example: I type on my iPad with a detachable keyboard every day because it is lighter and cheaper than a laptop or desktop. For instance, I carry it to classes and type notes or short essays while commuting.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Begin with a clear time reference, use correct tense and natural phrasing, and provide a short specific detail about what you learned. Keep it to one or two supporting sentences.
Example: I learned to type in elementary school when my teachers introduced basic computer lessons. They taught us proper finger placement and encouraged regular practice to build speed and accuracy.

✓ To be honest, I prefer handwriting to typing because I think if I can write something on paper, it helps me remember it.
Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A than B' (preposition error). Also, 'on paper' is the usual expression, not 'on the paper' in this general sense. 'Can improve my memories to keep it in mind' is awkward; use 'helps me remember it' to express the intended meaning concisely and grammatically.
× I always use my iPad with laptop keyboard every day because I think it is more light and cheaper than a notebook or desktop.
✓ I always use my iPad with a laptop keyboard every day because I think it is lighter and cheaper than a laptop or desktop.
Comparative forms of adjectives must be correct: 'light' -> 'lighter'. Use 'cheaper' correctly with parallel nouns; 'notebook or desktop' is inconsistent—use 'laptop or desktop' or 'a notebook or a desktop'. Also include the article 'a' before 'laptop keyboard'.
× During our elementary school, teachers told me to learn how to use computer well and to improve my skill.
✓ During elementary school, teachers told me to learn how to use the computer well and to improve my skills.
Use 'during elementary school' without 'our' in general statements. 'Use computer' needs the definite article 'the computer' when speaking about the skill of using computers in general, or 'use computers' plural. 'Skill' should be plural 'skills' when referring to multiple abilities, and 'use the computer well' is more natural than 'use computer well'.

✓ Recently, because I need to improve my English and my typing, I have tried to find English articles and type them on the computer to increase my typing speed.
Do not combine 'because' and 'so' together; choose one connector. The verb forms and objects are inconsistent: 'find some English article' should be 'find English articles' and 'to type all of the words on the computer' is awkward—'type them on the computer' is clearer. 'To speed up my' is incomplete; specify 'typing speed'. Use present perfect 'I have tried' or simple present 'I try' depending on context; here 'Recently' works with present perfect. Also add 'my' before 'typing' for clarity.
