Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Уберите лишние заполнители (uh, um), исправьте ошибки (например, "iTunes" → "it's" или "it's" не подходит; лучше "it's" → "it's easier"), и постройте ответ более связно: короткое вступление, затем 1–2 конкретных преимущества с примерами. Также используйте связующие слова (for example, moreover) и избегайте повторов слов "more".
Example: I prefer typing because it is faster and more convenient for everyday tasks. For example, I can easily edit documents and add new information without rewriting everything. Moreover, typing allows me to print and share files quickly.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Сделайте ответ прямым и избегайте повторов (не говорите "I have a lot of homework" и затем снова "I do my homework"). Уточните устройство (desktop или laptop) и приведите 1–2 конкретных примера использования. Используйте связующие слова (for example, also) и правильную грамматику ("usually tasks" → "usual tasks").
Example: Yes, I use my laptop every day for my usual tasks. For example, I do a lot of homework and research for school projects, and I also practice coding to improve my skills.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Ответ начинается хорошо, но замените "print" на "type" и исправьте времена ("I really improve" → "I have really improved"). Добавьте связку между прошлым опытом и текущим уровнем, используйте конкретные детали (например, how often you practised).
Example: I learned to type when I was about eight; my mother taught me the basics. At first I was very slow because it was my first experience, but after practising regularly I have really improved and can type quickly now.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Уберите неуверенные фразы и заполнители, исправьте лексику ("print" → "type", "when I was 8" → неверно в контексте: должно быть "compared to when I was 8"). Объясните конкретно, какие методы помогли (регулярная практика, онлайн-тренажёры, упражнения), и используйте логические связки (because, therefore, as a result).
Example: I improved my typing mainly through regular practice, which built muscle memory. For example, I used online typing exercises and practised for 15–20 minutes a day, so now I can type much faster than when I was eight.
× I prefer typing because iTunes easier or faster and uh, more useful, uh, for uh, usual tasks.
✓ I prefer typing because it is easier, faster, and more useful for usual tasks.
The pronoun 'it' is needed to refer to 'typing'; the sentence also omits the verb 'is'. Use of 'iTunes' appears to be a typo for 'it's' or 'it is'. Correct word order: 'easier, faster, and more useful' is a parallel list. Suggestion: use 'it is' or the contraction 'it's' and list adjectives in parallel form.
× I can uh, edit files and, uh, add new information.
✓ I can edit files and add new information.
Fillers 'uh' should be removed in written responses. The verbs 'edit' and 'add' are correct; removing extra pauses makes the sentence grammatically clean. Suggestion: avoid fillers when writing or speaking formally.
× Uh also, uh, I can print uh, more information by typing.
✓ Also, I can produce more documents by typing.
The verb 'print more information by typing' is awkward and 'print' may be incorrect if referring to producing documents digitally. Replacing with 'produce more documents' clarifies meaning. Remove fillers. Suggestion: choose precise verbs and avoid filler words.
× Yes, I have a personal computer and I use it for my usually tasks.
✓ Yes, I have a personal computer and I use it for my usual tasks.
Use adjective 'usual' not adverb 'usually' to modify the noun 'tasks'. 'Usually' is an adverb that would modify verbs. Suggestion: use 'usual tasks' when describing types of tasks.
× For example I have a lot of homework because I'm in a high school and I do my homework.
✓ For example, I have a lot of homework because I'm in high school and I do my homework.
Do not use the article 'a' before 'high school' when referring to attending high school as a stage of education in general. Add comma after 'For example'. Suggestion: use 'in high school' to indicate grade level.
× I do research different projects.
✓ I do research for different projects.
The verb 'do research' requires a preposition 'for' or 'on' when specifying the projects. Suggestion: use 'do research on different projects' or 'do research for different projects'.
× I also I try coding and improve new skills.
✓ I also try coding and improve new skills.
Remove the repeated subject 'I'. Also 'try coding' is acceptable; to be clearer use 'try coding and improve my skills' or 'learn new skills'. Suggestion: avoid repetition and add possessive 'my' before 'skills' for clarity.
× I think I learned this skill when I was 8.
✓ I think I learned this skill when I was eight.
Write numbers under ten as words in formal writing; 'learned' is correct past tense. Suggestion: spell out small numbers and ensure consistency.
× My mother showed me how to do it and I was very slow because this was my first experience in this field.
✓ My mother showed me how to do it, and I was very slow because it was my first experience in this area.
'In this field' is acceptable but 'in this area' sounds more natural here; add comma before 'and' joining independent clauses. Suggestion: use commas for compound sentences and choose natural collocations.
× But now I print very fast.
✓ But now I type very fast.
The verb 'print' incorrectly refers to typing speed; 'type' is the correct verb for keyboard input. Maintain present tense 'type'. Suggestion: use precise verbs matching the skill discussed.
× I really improve this skill.
✓ I have really improved this skill.
Present perfect 'have improved' expresses an action that started in the past and continues to the present. 'Improve' in simple present is incorrect here. Suggestion: use present perfect for progress from past to present.
× I never had a goal to improve my typing but I think my muscle memory improved this skill because my fingers remember uh which locate all letters and I can uh print faster when I was 8 even with blink eyes.
✓ I never had a goal to improve my typing, but I think my muscle memory improved this skill because my fingers remember where all the keys are, and I can type faster now even with my eyes closed.
Multiple issues: add comma before 'but'; 'remember which locate all letters' is ungrammatical—use 'remember where all the keys are'; tense consistency: 'I can type faster now' (present ability) rather than 'when I was 8'; 'blink eyes' should be 'eyes closed' or 'with my eyes closed' and include possessive 'my'. Suggestion: break into clearer clauses, fix word choice, and maintain consistent tense.
