Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Be more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh, actually), and give two specific reasons with brief explanations. Use linking words like 'firstly' and 'secondly' correctly and reduce repetition.
Exemplo: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster and more convenient. For example, I can edit and save documents easily on a computer. Also, my handwriting is messy, so typing helps my work look neater.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Give a direct topic sentence and one or two clear supporting details. Remove hesitations and incorrect verbs (use 'use' or 'type on' instead of 'drive on'). Add a linking phrase to explain why portable laptops are better.
Exemplo: I usually type on a laptop every day because it is portable and convenient. For instance, I can take it to class or a cafe, whereas a desktop cannot be moved easily.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Pontuação: 56.0Sugestão: Provide a clear past-time statement and avoid filler words. Use correct tense and clearer phrasing (e.g., 'When I was in grade 7'). Explain briefly how you learned (formal lessons, self-practice) and use linking words like 'because' or 'so'.
Exemplo: I learned to type when I was in grade 7. My father bought me a laptop, so I practiced using online tutorials to learn the ten-finger method.
How do you improve your typing?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Be specific about the methods you use and correct names and grammar. Start with a direct statement about current practice, then describe how the app helps and mention frequency. Use linking words like 'for example' and 'so' to connect ideas.
Exemplo: I improve my typing by practicing regularly with an app called Thai Training. For example, the app shows letters on the screen and gives timed exercises, so I can build speed and accuracy by practicing for 15–20 minutes each day.
× Actually I prefer typing for several reasons. Firstly, I uh, because it is very convenient and uh, fast.
✓ Actually, I prefer typing for several reasons. Firstly, it is very convenient and fast.
This sentence has unnecessary filler and a missing subject for the clause 'because it is very convenient...' Removing the redundant 'I uh, because' yields a grammatically correct present tense statement. Suggestion: avoid fillers and ensure each clause has a clear subject and verb.
× Secondly, actually I uh, my word I writing was quite bad, so I prefer typing.
✓ Secondly, my handwriting was quite bad, so I prefer typing.
The original uses incorrect pronouns and word order ('my word I writing') and mixes present/past reference. 'Handwriting' is the correct noun and 'was' matches a past condition that explains a present preference. Suggestion: use the correct noun and clear word order: subject + verb + complement.
× Umm, actually I uh, prefer drive on laptop keyboard everyday because when I work or when I study, I can uh, uh, bring a laptop with me.
✓ Actually, I prefer to use a laptop keyboard every day because when I work or study, I can bring a laptop with me.
Errors: 'prefer drive on' is incorrect verb choice and structure; 'everyday' should be 'every day' (adverb phrase); extra fillers. Use 'prefer to use' + object. Suggestion: use the infinitive after 'prefer' or the gerund form consistently and write 'every day' as two words for frequency.
× And it's not like desktop, it's more convenient.
✓ A desktop is not portable, so a laptop is more convenient.
The original 'it's not like desktop' is unclear and misuses pronouns/articles. Specify the subject ('a desktop') and contrast it with 'a laptop' to clarify meaning. Suggestion: use articles and explicit nouns when contrasting.
× If I remember correctly, uh, when I study grade 7, my father, uh, he, uh, he bought on me a laptop, uh, and uh, at that time I was training to try on keyboard with the 10 finger.
✓ If I remember correctly, when I was in grade 7, my father bought me a laptop, and at that time I was practising typing with all ten fingers.
Multiple tense and verb errors: 'when I study grade 7' should be past progressive 'when I was in grade 7'; 'bought on me a laptop' is incorrect word order—correct is 'bought me a laptop'; 'training to try on keyboard with the 10 finger' is awkward—use 'practising typing with all ten fingers'. Suggestion: use correct past tense forms and common collocations: 'bought me a laptop', 'practising typing', 'all ten fingers'.
× If I remember correctly I use an app named Thai Training and ear about Terry.
✓ If I remember correctly, I used an app called Thai Training and another one called 'Terry'.
Tense mismatch: the learning happened in the past so 'use' should be 'used' (past tense). Also 'named' is acceptable but 'called' is more natural; 'ear about Terry' is nonsensical—likely 'another called Terry'. Suggestion: match tense to the time frame and use clear naming for apps.
× It work like you have to see on the screen and you typing with the keyboard.
✓ It works like this: you have to look at the screen and type on the keyboard.
Subject-verb agreement: 'It work' should be 'It works'. 'See on the screen' is unnatural; use 'look at the screen'. 'You typing' lacks auxiliary; use base verb 'type'. Also 'type on the keyboard' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement, use appropriate verb forms, and choose natural prepositions ('look at', 'type on').
