Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidato
That's a good question because sometimes I do this and sometimes I do that. But most of the time I consider talking because I feel like it's easier to me to express myself and to to just don't let anyone in the future.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidato
On a laptop keyboard, because no one used the computer. Nowadays, I guess most of the people have a laptop and it's like more easier to have a laptop because you could take it everywhere and you could work from everywhere. So yeah.

From I was a kid because in school we have like every week we have two sessions, uh, to learn about computer and how to use the, uh, the programs like actual worlds and a lot of things. So, uh, it's like when I was studying.

How do you improve your typing?
Candidato
How's the weather like? The easiest question is by typing, because every time you use the keyboard, your brain is gonna use to use the keyboard and to learn where the letter, uh, are located on the keyboard. So you're not gonna look on the keyboard, you're just gonna look on the screen on the laptop.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Pontuação: 38.0Sugestão: Be direct and relevant: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference (typing or handwriting), give 1–2 specific reasons with linking words, avoid irrelevant or unclear phrases, and keep to 2–3 concise sentences. Check grammar (e.g. use ‘easier for me’ not ‘easier to me’) and avoid repetition.
Exemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and helps me organize my ideas more easily. Also, digital notes are easier to edit and share, which is useful for group work.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Answer directly and give specific reasons using linking words. Correct awkward phrasing and unnecessary statements (e.g. ‘no one used the computer’ is unclear). Use 2–3 concise sentences and a range of vocabulary (portable, convenient, versatile).
Exemplo: I type every day on a laptop keyboard because it is portable and convenient. Since I often work in different places, a laptop lets me carry my work easily and use it wherever I need to.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: Give a clear time reference first (e.g. ‘when I was a child’ or a specific age), then provide 1–2 specific supporting details with linking words. Remove fillers and hesitations, and use correct tense and article usage (e.g. ‘we had two lessons every week’).
Exemplo: I learned to type when I was a child at primary school. We had two computer lessons every week where we practiced using the keyboard and learned basic programs.
How do you improve your typing?
Pontuação: 42.0Sugestão: Stay on topic: start with a clear method (e.g. ‘I improve by practising regularly’), then explain specific activities and use linking words. Avoid irrelevant interjections and correct grammar (e.g. ‘your brain gets used to the keyboard’). Keep to 2–3 concise sentences.
Exemplo: I improve my typing by practising regularly, especially through timed typing exercises and copying texts. Over time my fingers get used to the layout, so I no longer need to look at the keys and my speed and accuracy improve.
× But most of the time I consider talking because I feel like it's easier to me to express myself and to to just don't let anyone in the future.
✓ But most of the time I prefer talking because I feel like it's easier for me to express myself and to not let anyone in in the future.
The original uses incorrect pronoun/phrase 'easier to me' — correct form is 'easier for me' (preposition with pronoun). Also 'consider talking' is unnatural; 'prefer talking' fits the context. The sequence 'to to just don't' contains a double 'to' and wrong verb form after 'to' (infinitive 'not to let' or 'to not let'); I changed to 'to not let anyone in in the future' to keep intended meaning. Suggestion: use 'easier for me', use 'prefer' for habit, and after 'to' use base verb or 'not to' for negation.
× On a laptop keyboard, because no one used the computer.
✓ On a laptop keyboard, because no one uses a desktop computer as often now.
The original 'no one used the computer' mixes past tense with general statement and is unclear. The intended meaning is a general current trend; use present simple 'no one uses' and clarify the object 'desktop computer'. Use appropriate quantifier/generalization rather than past tense. Suggestion: for general truths use present simple and specify the contrasted item.
× Nowadays, I guess most of the people have a laptop and it's like more easier to have a laptop because you could take it everywhere and you could work from everywhere.
✓ Nowadays, I guess most people have laptops and it's easier to have one because you can take it everywhere and work from anywhere.
Errors: 'most of the people' is wordy — use 'most people'; 'more easier' is redundant (comparative 'more' with '-er' is incorrect) so use 'easier'; 'a laptop' vs 'laptops' and 'you could' → 'you can' for ability/general truth. Also 'everywhere' vs 'anywhere' — 'work from anywhere' is more natural. Suggestion: avoid double comparatives, use plural nouns for general statements, and use 'can' for general ability.
× From I was a kid because in school we have like every week we have two sessions, uh, to learn about computer and how to use the, uh, the programs like actual worlds and a lot of things.
✓ Since I was a kid, because at school we had two sessions every week to learn about computers and how to use programs like Microsoft Word and many other things.
Tense and article errors: 'From I was a kid' should be 'Since I was a kid' or 'When I was a kid'; 'we have' should be past 'we had' because speaking of past schooling; 'learn about computer' → 'learn about computers' (plural/general) and 'actual worlds' seems to be 'Microsoft Word' — corrected. Suggestion: use 'since' or 'when' for starting point, maintain past tense for past situations, pluralize uncountable/collective nouns as needed.
× So, uh, it's like when I was studying.
✓ So, uh, it was during my studies.
'It's like when I was studying' mixes present 'it's' with past 'I was studying' and is informal/vague. Use past reference 'it was during my studies' to match timeframe. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and use clearer noun phrases like 'my studies'.
× How's the weather like? The easiest question is by typing, because every time you use the keyboard, your brain is gonna use to use the keyboard and to learn where the letter, uh, are located on the keyboard.
✓ The easiest way is by typing, because every time you use the keyboard, your brain gets used to it and learns where the letters are located on the keyboard.
Multiple issues: 'How's the weather like?' is irrelevant and ungrammatical for the question context — removed. 'The easiest question is by typing' should be 'The easiest way is by typing'; 'your brain is gonna use to use the keyboard' is incorrect phrasing — correct is 'your brain gets used to it' or 'becomes used to using the keyboard'; 'to learn where the letter ... are' — subject-verb agreement and plural 'letters are'. Suggestions: use 'way' not 'question', use 'get used to' for habitual adaptation, ensure subject-verb agreement for plural nouns.
× So you're not gonna look on the keyboard, you're just gonna look on the screen on the laptop.
✓ So you won't look at the keyboard; you'll just look at the laptop screen.
Preposition and contraction/style: use 'look at' not 'look on'; use 'won't'/'will' instead of 'gonna' for correct formality and future simple; 'look on the screen on the laptop' is redundant — use 'laptop screen'. Suggestion: use correct prepositions ('look at'), avoid colloquial 'gonna' in formal speech, and simplify redundant phrases.
