Part 1

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., "I prefer typing for most tasks, but I use handwriting for learning"). Use linking words to contrast reasons (e.g., "because", "while"). Replace vague phrases and correct vocabulary ("islets" → "IELTS"). Aim for 2–3 sentences with specific reasons and one short example.

Example: I prefer typing for most tasks because it is faster and easier to edit. However, I use handwriting when I study languages like French, because writing helps me remember vocabulary better.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence and avoid filler words (uh, um). Use linking words to add brief reasons (e.g., "because", "so"). Make sentences more natural by condensing redundant phrases ("laptop is quite... easier to carry" → "laptops are portable"). Keep it within 1–2 sentences.

Example: I usually type on a laptop because I don't own a desktop. Laptops are portable and convenient, so I can work from different places.

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Provide a clear, grammatically correct time reference and avoid fillers. Use linking words to add a brief supporting detail (e.g., "and later"). Replace "6th standard" with "sixth grade" for natural English. Keep it to 1–2 sentences and specify what kind of practice or course you took.

Example: I started learning to type in sixth grade at school. Later, I took a short typing course to improve my speed and accuracy.

How do you improve your typing?

Score: 66.0

Suggestion: Explain the method clearly and use precise vocabulary ("time myself", "typing tests"). Remove repetition and fillers. Use linking words (e.g., "for example", "then") to make steps clear. Give one specific routine and a measurable goal (e.g., words per minute). Limit to 2–3 concise sentences.

Example: I improve my typing by timing myself with online typing tests. For example, I set a 10-minute timer and type an essay, then check how many words I wrote and focus on increasing my words-per-minute score.

Grammar

Incorrect use of conjunction

× Well, I prefer both typing as well handwriting.

Well, I prefer both typing and handwriting.

The sentence uses 'as well' incorrectly when listing two items. Use the coordinating conjunction 'and' to link two parallel nouns: 'typing and handwriting'. This keeps parallel structure and clarity.

Verb in the present participle form

× I always do typing whenever I'm using my laptop and computer.

I always type whenever I use my laptop or computer.

The phrase 'do typing' is unnatural; use the base verb 'type'. Also maintain consistent present simple tense for habitual actions ('I always type' and 'whenever I use'). Use 'or' instead of 'and' to indicate either device.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× And I also do writing for my studies such as I'm learning French and I'm also practicing for islets and I always like to do handwriting to make my notes.

I also write for my studies, for example I am learning French and practicing for IELTS, and I like to handwrite my notes.

Use 'write' instead of 'do writing'. Replace 'for' with 'for example' to introduce examples. 'islets' is a misspelling of 'IELTS'. Use 'handwrite my notes' for clarity. Use commas to separate clauses.

Third person singular issue

× Usually I type on my laptop keyboard as I don't have a desktop and even I prefer to use laptop keyboard because laptop is quite, uh, easier to carry with me and it is also very convenient to use.

Usually I type on my laptop keyboard because I don't have a desktop, and I prefer a laptop keyboard since a laptop is easier to carry and very convenient to use.

Maintain consistent subject references and articles: use 'a laptop' rather than repeating 'laptop' without an article. Streamline conjunctions and remove filler 'even'. This corrects article and sentence flow issues.

Past tense issue

× I started learning UH typing on keyboard when I was in 6th standard in school time and even though I did some UH typing courses to improve my typing skills.

I started learning to type on the keyboard when I was in sixth grade, and I also took some typing courses to improve my skills.

Use 'to type' (infinitive) rather than 'typing' after 'started learning'. Replace 'on keyboard' with 'on the keyboard'. Use 'sixth grade' for natural English and 'took' as the past tense of 'take' for completed actions. Remove 'even though' which was incorrect here.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× I always umm do clock watch for my typing skills.

I always use a stopwatch to practice my typing skills.

'Clock watch' is unnatural; 'stopwatch' or 'timer' is correct. Use 'use' instead of 'do'. Include 'a' before 'stopwatch'.

Sentence structure errors

× I take one writing essay and I try to type between the clock watch timer and I always manage time.

I choose an essay to type and try to finish it within the timer, and I always manage my time.

Rephrase to natural English: 'take one writing essay' -> 'choose an essay to type'; 'type between the clock watch timer' -> 'finish it within the timer'. Add 'my' before 'time' for clarity.

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I always look at the time in how many minutes I completed umm, how much words.

'I always check how many minutes it took and how many words I typed.'

Use 'how many minutes' and 'how many words' (countable). 'How much words' is incorrect because 'words' is countable and requires 'many'. Rephrase for natural word order: 'how many minutes it took' and 'how many words I typed'.
