Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分數: 52.0建議: Be more concise and clear. Start with a direct topic sentence, remove fillers (umm), correct unclear words (e.g., 'fake' is incorrect), and provide one or two specific reasons with linking words. Aim for 2–4 sentences, use linking words like 'because' and 'however', and give a concrete example.
範例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and the software helps correct my grammar. For example, when I write reports on my laptop, spell-check and grammar tools save me time. However, I still handwrite notes when I am learning because writing by hand helps me remember information better.

× I learned how typing skills at at my elementary school in Japan.
✓ I learned typing skills at my elementary school in Japan.
After 'learn' we use the base form or the gerund for the action: 'learn to type' or 'learn typing'. 'How typing skills' is incorrect word order and has an extra 'how'. Use 'learned typing skills' or 'learned how to type'. Also remove the duplicate 'at'. Suggestion: Use 'I learned how to type at my elementary school in Japan' or 'I learned typing skills at my elementary school in Japan.'
× I prefer umm typing over handwriting.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting.
Use the verb 'prefer' with the structure 'prefer A to B' (not 'prefer A over B' in formal English) and ensure parallel nouns. 'Typing' and 'handwriting' are correct forms but the preposition should be 'to'. Suggestion: Use 'I prefer typing to handwriting.'
× Umm because it's fake.
✓ Umm because it can correct my mistakes.
The original 'it's fake' does not make sense in context. The student likely meant a benefit of typing: the computer can fix mistakes. Use 'can correct' or 'can fix' with object 'my mistakes'. Suggestion: Say 'Because it can correct my mistakes.'
× However, I prefer handwriting when I when I want to learn something.
✓ However, I prefer handwriting when I want to learn something.
Remove the repeated phrase 'when I'. The present simple 'want' correctly matches the general preference. Repetition is an error in fluency, not grammar, but removing it fixes sentence structure. Suggestion: 'However, I prefer handwriting when I want to learn something.'
× Uh, I usually type on laptop keyboard because I only have laptop.
✓ I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I only have a laptop.
When referring to a singular countable noun, use the indefinite article 'a'. Also 'laptop keyboard' needs the article 'a laptop keyboard' or 'the laptop keyboard' depending on context. Here 'a laptop' and 'a laptop keyboard' are appropriate. Suggestion: 'I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I only have a laptop.'
× Umm yeah in my home umm yeah.
✓ At home, it's very convenient and easy to carry.
The original utterance is fragmented and incomplete. The student probably intended to say that using a laptop is convenient at home and easy to carry. Provide a grammatically complete sentence that fits context. Suggestion: 'At home, it's very convenient and easy to carry.'
× So I prefer using laptop then or two computer.
✓ So I prefer using a laptop rather than a desktop computer.
Use the comparative conjunction 'rather than' when choosing between two items. Also correct 'two' to 'to' is wrong; the intended contrast is with 'desktop computer' or 'two computers' is incorrect. Include articles for countable nouns. Suggestion: 'So I prefer using a laptop rather than a desktop computer.'
× I, I did umm, I practice a lot to develop my typing skill.
✓ I practiced a lot to develop my typing skills.
The context is describing past habitual improvement; use the past tense 'practiced' (or present perfect if ongoing). Also pluralize 'skills' for natural collocation and remove unnecessary 'did'. Suggestion: 'I practiced a lot to develop my typing skills.' or 'I have practiced a lot to develop my typing skills.'
× I when I've got my computer, I always trying to, to like typing faster and I also use like.
✓ When I got my computer, I always tried to type faster and I also used programs to practice.
Fix tense consistency: 'When I've got' mixes present perfect with past narrative; use 'When I got' with past 'tried'. 'Always trying' needs auxiliary 'was' for progressive past ('was always trying') or use simple past 'always tried'. 'Typing faster' should be 'to type faster'. The fragment 'I also use like' is incomplete; replace with a concrete object such as 'programs to practice'. Suggestion: 'When I got my computer, I always tried to type faster, and I also used programs to practice.'
