Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 68.0建议: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid awkward words like “small” for typing, and remove redundant phrases such as “any time and anywhere that I find myself moreover.” Use one linking phrase to add a brief reason or example. Aim for 2–3 sentences and use more precise vocabulary (e.g., “quicker,” “more convenient”).

× I enjoy typing because it is small, faster and convenient compared to writing.
✓ I enjoy typing because it is smaller, faster and more convenient than writing.
The sentence uses comparative forms and coordinate adjectives. 'Small' should be comparative 'smaller' to match 'than writing'. 'Convenient' as an adjective in a list with comparatives should be 'more convenient'. Also use 'than' for comparison with writing rather than 'compared to'.
× Also, I can type on my phone or tablet any time and anywhere that I find myself moreover.
✓ Also, I can type on my phone or tablet anytime and anywhere I find myself.
The sentence has redundant connectors and unnatural word order. 'Moreover' is unnecessary and misplaced. 'Any time' should be one word 'anytime' in this context, and 'anywhere that I find myself' is better as 'anywhere I find myself'. Removing 'moreover' improves flow.
× I use laptop for my typing because I own one.
✓ I use a laptop for typing because I own one.
The noun 'laptop' requires the indefinite article 'a'. 'My typing' is unnecessary; 'for typing' is more natural.
× Normally I use it for my school assignments and send lengthy emails.
✓ Normally, I use it for my school assignments and to send lengthy emails.
Parallel structure is needed: 'use it for X and to Y' or 'for X and for Y'. Adding 'to' before 'send' maintains grammatical parallelism.
× It is more convenient and fast for me compared to a desktop I enjoy sending.
✓ It is more convenient and faster for me than a desktop, and I enjoy using it to send emails.
Run-on sentence and adjective form: 'fast' should be 'faster' to match comparative 'more convenient'. Use 'than' for comparisons. The clause 'I enjoy sending' is incomplete; specify what is being sent and connect with conjunction.
× I got to enhance my typing skills during my elementary school days.
✓ I enhanced my typing skills during my elementary school days.
'Got to enhance' is informal and awkward here. Use simple past 'enhanced' to state a past fact. 'Got to' can imply opportunity; if that meaning is intended, 'I got to improve' could work, but simple past is clearer.
× Computing was my favorite subjects back then.
✓ Computing was my favorite subject back then.
Subject-verb agreement and noun number: 'Computing' is singular, so 'subject' should be singular not plural 'subjects'.
× I enjoy typing for fun.
✓ I enjoyed typing for fun.
Tense consistency: the student is talking about elementary school days in the past, so 'enjoy' should be 'enjoyed' to match past context.
× I usually visit the lab just for typing and improving on it.
✓ I usually visited the lab just to type and to improve my skills.
Tense consistency and preposition use: 'visit' should be past 'visited' to match earlier past context. 'Just for typing and improving on it' is awkward; use 'just to type and to improve my skills.' 'Improve on it' is informal and unclear.
× I enhance my typing by practicing daily.
✓ I improve my typing by practicing daily.
The verb 'enhance' is grammatical but less natural in this context; 'improve' is more commonly used. If present routine is intended, present simple 'improve' is fine. No tense change needed if speaker currently does this.
× Normally during my leisure time, I practice typing long sentences for fun.
✓ Normally, during my leisure time, I practice typing long sentences for fun.
Minor punctuation: add comma after 'Normally' for clarity. Sentence is otherwise grammatically correct.
× This has really helped improve my typing skills even now.
✓ This has really helped to improve my typing skills even now.
Use of perfect tense is fine; adding 'to' before 'improve' or keeping without is acceptable. 'Has really helped to improve' is slightly more natural. 'Even now' is stylistically fine but could be 'even today.'
