Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分數: 62.0建議: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with a linking word, and correct small errors (e.g. 'respond' → 'response' or better 'what I say'). Avoid redundancy like repeating 'time consuming' and 'faster' without clear distinction.
範例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it's much faster and more convenient. For example, I can finish notes quickly during lectures and easily edit them later, which saves time and reduces mistakes.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分數: 58.0建議: Give a direct topic sentence then add a specific detail using a linking word. Avoid repetition ('I do it'). Mention which device you use more and why to make the answer richer.
範例: Yes, I type every day, usually on my laptop because it's portable and I can work anywhere. For instance, I use it for homework, emails and writing essays in the evenings.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分數: 50.0建議: Provide a clear timeline and avoid hesitations and incomplete sentences. Use linking words to explain the reason for delay and finish thoughts. Be specific about ages or grades and why you learned later.
範例: I learned to type in primary school, around grade three or four. I started in grade four because typing Chinese characters was harder, so I practiced more before I felt comfortable using the keyboard.
How do you improve your typing?

範例: I improve my typing mainly by regular practice and online exercises. For example, I use a typing website every day for 15 minutes and also copy short articles to build accuracy and speed, which has noticeably reduced my errors.
× From my personal perspective, I would prefer typing more because it's less time consuming and I can type faster and people can hear my respond as soon as possible.
✓ From my personal perspective, I prefer typing because it's less time-consuming, I can type faster, and people can hear my response as soon as possible.
The sentence uses 'would prefer' where simple present 'prefer' fits general preference (Present tense issue, ID 6). 'Respond' is a verb but the intended noun is 'response' (Incorrect use of pronouns -> actually incorrect word form; map to ID 12 per instructions). 'Time consuming' should be hyphenated as 'time-consuming' when used as a compound adjective. Also punctuation and coordination improved by using commas and 'and'. Suggestion: use 'prefer' for general habits, use correct noun 'response', and hyphenate compound adjectives.
× I do type on a desktop or laptop every day as I have a computer at my home and I do it.
✓ I type on a desktop or laptop every day because I have a computer at home and use it daily.
Using 'do type' is unnecessary emphatic present; simple present 'type' is more natural for habitual actions (Present tense issue, ID 6). 'At my home' should be 'at home' (Incorrect use of prepositions, ID 11). Repetition 'and I do it' is redundant. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and remove redundancy.
× I use it for my homework every day.
✓ I use it to do my homework every day.
The original sentence is understandable but 'use it for my homework' is less precise than 'use it to do my homework' which clarifies the action (Sentence structure errors, ID 26). Suggestion: include the verb 'do' to indicate the activity performed with the computer.
× I learned how to.
✓ I learned how to type.
The fragment 'I learned how to.' is incomplete because the verb is missing after 'to' and leaves the sentence without a full predicate (Sentence without a verb, ID 23). Suggestion: complete the infinitive with the verb 'type' to form a full sentence.
× I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was in primary school.
✓ I learned to type on the keyboard when I was in primary school.
'Learned how to type' is acceptable, but 'learned to type' is more concise and idiomatic for past learning (Past tense issue, ID 5). Keep past tense 'learned' to match the time reference. Suggestion: prefer 'learned to type' for brevity.
× P3, I think umm, for Chinese it's very difficult, so I learned it in P4.
✓ I started in P3, I think, but because Chinese typing was very difficult, I actually learned it in P4.
Original has unclear subject and tense. 'I learned it in P4' uses 'it' vaguely; clarifying 'Chinese typing' fixes the pronoun reference (Incorrect use of pronouns, ID 12). Also smoothing discourse and tense improves clarity. Suggestion: state the year clearly and specify what 'it' refers to.
× It's much more complex than.
✓ It's much more complex than that.
The sentence ends abruptly with a comparative 'than' missing its object, making it incomplete (Sentence structure errors, ID 26). Adding 'that' completes the comparison. Suggestion: always provide the comparison object after 'than'.
× People always say that practice makes perfect so just type more and do more practice.
✓ People always say that practice makes perfect, so just type more and practice more.
'Do more practice' is unidiomatic; use 'practice more' or 'do more practice sessions' (Incorrect use of quantifiers, ID 14). Also add a comma before 'so' to join clauses. Suggestion: use natural collocations like 'practice more'.
× There's like website for students to provide opportunities for them to practice more and practice makes perfect basically.
✓ There are websites that provide opportunities for students to practice more, and practice makes perfect.
'There's like website' has several problems: 'there's' (there is) with plural 'website' is subject-verb disagreement (Subject-verb agreement/There be issue, IDs 27 and 3). Use plural 'websites' with 'there are'. 'Like' is informal and unnecessary. 'For students to provide' incorrectly suggests students provide opportunities; change to 'that provide opportunities for students'. Remove redundant 'basically'. Suggestion: use 'there are websites that provide opportunities for students to practice more' and keep phrasing concise.
