Candidato
I prefer handwriting because I love the feeling to write something on the paper through my hand, because I could feel the muscle of myself and I love the scenes of writing on the paper, just like for example, the pain and the paper connected together.

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Be more concise and coherent: begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid unclear or confusing metaphors (e.g. “pain and the paper connected”). Use varied vocabulary (e.g. ‘enjoy’, ‘tactile’, ‘personal’). Keep answer within 3–4 sentences.
Exemplo: I prefer handwriting because I enjoy the tactile feeling of putting pen to paper. For example, writing by hand feels more personal and helps me remember information better. Because of this, I often choose handwritten notes for planning and studying.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Pontuação: 64.0Sugestão: Start with a direct, clear sentence stating which device you use, then give specific reasons using linking words (e.g. ‘because’, ‘so’, ‘for example’). Reduce fillers (“you know”, “uh”) and correct basic grammar (e.g. ‘necessary working tool’ → ‘necessary tool’). Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Exemplo: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it is my main tool for work and study. For example, I type reports, emails and course assignments on my laptop, so it’s indispensable in my daily routine.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Pontuação: 52.0Sugestão: Give a concise, direct answer with a clear time reference, then add one supporting detail using linking words. Avoid vague phrasing (‘I think’, ‘since that time I already’). Use correct tense and sentence structure.
Exemplo: I learned to type when I was about 12 years old. At primary school we had computer classes and typing became part of the curriculum, so I practiced regularly to pass the course.
How do you improve your typing?
Pontuação: 56.0Sugestão: Answer directly with a clear method, then add one specific example of practice and a result using linking words. Remove hesitation fillers and redundant background information. Aim for 2–3 sentences and use precise verbs (e.g. ‘practice’, ‘use typing programs’, ‘set goals’).
Exemplo: I improve my typing by practicing every day, usually using online typing programs to increase speed and accuracy. For example, I do 15-minute typing drills each morning and track my progress to reduce errors.
× I prefer handwriting because I love the feeling to write something on the paper through my hand, because I could feel the muscle of myself and I love the scenes of writing on the paper, just like for example, the pain and the paper connected together.
✓ I prefer handwriting because I love the feeling of writing something on paper with my hand; I can feel my muscles, and I love the sight of writing on paper, as if the pen and the paper are connected.
Incorrect prepositions and awkward prepositional phrases ('to write something on the paper through my hand', 'the scenes of writing on the paper') should be 'the feeling of writing on paper' and 'with my hand' or 'by hand'. Also 'feel the muscle of myself' is unnatural; use 'feel my muscles'. 'Scenes' is better as 'sight' or 'the act/experience'. Use parallel structure and correct verb forms ('as if the pen and the paper are connected'). Suggest practicing common prepositional collocations (feel of, write on paper, with my hand) and simplifying phrases.
× And I some most of my time I need to do the paperwork, so I have to use my laptop every day.
✓ Most of the time I need to do paperwork, so I have to use my laptop every day.
Unnecessary words 'And I some' and incorrect article/quantifier use 'the paperwork'. 'Most of the time' is the correct adverbial phrase. Also ensure subject-verb agreement and natural word order. Practice forming time expressions (most of the time, some of the time) and avoid redundant fillers.
× Yeah, I tap on the laptop keyboard every day because you know, we move into the AI society.
✓ Yes, I type on my laptop keyboard every day because, as society moves into the age of AI, computers are more important.
Awkward phrase 'we move into the AI society' should be 'society is moving into the age of AI' or 'as society moves into the age of AI'. 'Tap on the laptop keyboard' is informal and 'type on my laptop keyboard' is clearer. Improve sentence structure by using a clear subject and clause order.
× Wow, it's a long time ago from my memory I think is since I was 12 because since I started in the primary school we have the computer classes we need to pass the exam and learn how to use the computer. I think since that time I already.
✓ Wow, it was a long time ago. I think I learned when I was 12 because when I started primary school we had computer classes; we needed to pass exams and learn how to use computers. I have been using them since then.
Tense and sentence fragmentation problems: 'it's a long time ago' should be past 'it was a long time ago'. Use past simple for the past events ('I learned', 'we had', 'we needed') and present perfect for a continuing action ('I have been using them since then'). Also fix run-on sentences by breaking into clearer clauses.
× Just to practice every day because since I was in the primary school, uh, the people use phone or use computer more and more time in their daily life, especially, uh, in my life as well.
✓ I just practice every day because, since I was in primary school, people have used phones and computers more and more in daily life, especially in my life.
Use of 'Just to practice' is a fragment; 'I just practice' is a complete clause. Progressive idea about increasing use should use present perfect 'have used' to show change over time. 'More and more time' is awkward; use 'more and more' or 'more often'. Also remove filler words. Practice forming complete sentences and correct verb+ -ing vs base verb usage.
× So I normally use the technical, umm, devices every day.
✓ So I normally use technical devices every day.
Unnecessary article 'the' before 'technical devices' and filler 'umm' should be removed. The pronoun issue is slight—'the technical devices' implies specific devices; general statement should be 'technical devices'. Keep sentences concise and avoid fillers.
