Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Be more concise and correct unclear phrases. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a brief example. Avoid vague or incorrect expressions (e.g. “aisles taste”) and reduce repetition. Use linking words like “because” and “for example” appropriately and check word choice and grammar (e.g. “helps me remember” not “helps me to remember the things”).
Exemplo: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me concentrate and remember information better. For example, when I take lecture notes, writing by hand makes it easier to recall key points later, so I review them more effectively.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Give a direct topic sentence and correct grammar and awkward phrasing. Say why specifically a laptop suits your needs, using clear linking words and one concise supporting detail. Avoid redundancy and incorrect prepositions (e.g. “take to my university”).

Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Start with a clear, grammatical topic sentence stating when you learned. Explain briefly why — mention a compulsory class — using correct phrases (e.g. “in grade 8” not “on my standard 8”). Avoid unnecessary closing words like “Thank you.” Use one linking phrase to connect reason and result.

Remove hesitation words like “uh” and unclear phrases (“focus on the latest”). Use linking words (e.g. “then”, “therefore”) and be specific about strategies (e.g. touch-typing, timed practice). Keep it within 2–4 sentences.
Exemplo: I improved my typing by taking a computer course in grade 10 where the teacher taught touch-typing and accuracy drills. After that, I practised regularly with timed exercises and online typing tests, which increased both my speed and accuracy.
× I prefer handwriting over typing because writing by hand helps me to focus and remember the things that I want to write and this helps me to understand or focus the main viewpoint of the things.
✓ I prefer handwriting to typing because writing by hand helps me focus and remember what I want to write, and it helps me understand the main points.
Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A over B' (though both can be used, 'prefer to' is more natural here). Remove unnecessary articles and wordiness: 'the things that I want to write' -> 'what I want to write'; 'main viewpoint of the things' -> 'main points'. Also replace 'helps me to focus' with 'helps me focus' (both are acceptable) and join clauses for clarity. (Grammar problem type ID:11)
× For example, when I go to the aisles taste, I always write.
✓ For example, when I go to the aisles, I always write notes.
The original sentence contains nonsensical phrase 'aisles taste' and lacks clarity. Probably intended meaning is going to aisles (e.g., in a store or library) and writing notes. Add an object 'notes' and remove the incorrect word 'taste' to form a clear sentence. (Grammar problem type ID:26)
× I prefer laptop keyboard to use over a desktop every day because this helps me to carry out anywhere.
✓ I prefer a laptop keyboard to a desktop keyboard because it allows me to carry it anywhere.
Use 'prefer A to B' and include articles: 'a laptop keyboard' and 'a desktop keyboard'. 'Helps me to carry out anywhere' is incorrect; use 'allows me to carry it anywhere'. (Grammar problem type ID:11)
× As I am a student, it helped me to take to my university and my work related jobs which helps me to use the laptop in a convenient.
✓ As I am a student, it helps me carry my laptop to university and to work-related jobs, which makes using the laptop more convenient.
Tense and pronoun references were inconsistent. Use present tense 'helps' to match 'I am a student'. 'Take to my university' -> 'carry my laptop to university'. 'Work related' needs a hyphen 'work-related'. 'Use the laptop in a convenient' is ungrammatical; use 'makes using the laptop more convenient'. (Grammar problem type ID:12)
× I was on my standard 8 when I started learning to type on a keyboard.
✓ I was in standard 8 when I started learning to type on a keyboard.
Use 'in' with school grades/standards: 'in standard 8' not 'on'. The past tense 'started' is correct and retained. (Grammar problem type ID:5)
× This is because there was a compulsion of a computer class and a practical class of computer which helped me to practice more and be used to with the keywords in a keyboard which is very useful for myself.
✓ This is because computer classes, including a compulsory practical class, helped me practice and become familiar with the keys on a keyboard, which was very useful for me.
Remove awkward 'there was a compulsion of a computer class' and use 'compulsory practical class'. 'Be used to with the keywords' is incorrect; use 'become familiar with the keys'. 'Keywords' is wrong term here. Also change 'for myself' to 'for me'. (Grammar problem type ID:3)
× As the time passes, when I was on grade 10, I used to take a computer class from one of the institution which helped me to improve my typing.
✓ When I was in grade 10, I took a computer class at an institution that helped me improve my typing.
Remove unnecessary phrase 'As the time passes' which conflicts with past tense. Use 'in grade 10' not 'on'. 'Used to take' implies habitual past but simple past 'took' is clearer here. 'One of the institution' should be 'an institution' and 'that helped me improve my typing' is more natural. (Grammar problem type ID:5)
× There they have taught me, uh, various strategies to use the typing technique which helped me to focus on the latest rather than just typing.
✓ There they taught me various strategies for typing techniques, which helped me focus on accuracy and speed rather than just pressing keys.
Use simple past 'taught' to match the past context. 'Have taught me' is inconsistent with earlier past tense. 'Use the typing technique' -> 'for typing techniques'. 'Focus on the latest' is unclear; replace with specific goals like 'accuracy and speed'. Avoid filler 'uh'. (Grammar problem type ID:12)
