Score: 82.0Suggestion: 질문에 직접적으로 답했으며 이유도 제시했으나 표현이 다소 일반적이고 반복(‘because’, ‘it’)이 있다. 더 구체적인 예시(예: 빠른 수정, 검색 기능, 클라우드 저장 등)를 추가하고, 연결어를 자연스럽게 사용해 문장을 다양화하세요. 문장 수는 3문장 이내로 유지하고 불필요한 반복을 줄이세요.

How do you improve your typing?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: 개념은 전달되었으나 문법 오류(‘using on typing apps’), 과도한 말더듬(‘uh’), 그리고 반복적 표현(‘typing skills’)이 문제다. 간결하고 정확한 문장으로 바꾸고, 구체적 방법(앱 이름, 연습 빈도, 연습 유형: 속도 테스트, 게임 등)을 언급해 신뢰성을 높이세요.
Example: I practice typing regularly using mobile typing apps such as Ten Thumbs; I do short daily exercises and timed speed tests, which have helped me improve both accuracy and speed.
× Actually, I prefer typing because it's much more convenient and it saves time, especially when I have to send emails or complete assignments at school.
✓ Actually, I prefer typing because it's much more convenient and saves time, especially when I have to send emails or complete assignments at school.
Redundant use of 'it' before 'saves' creates a subject repetition issue. Use a single subject 'it' for both adjectives and verbs: 'it's much more convenient and saves time.' This keeps the sentence concise and grammatically parallel. Suggestion: Keep parallel structure after the subject, e.g., 'it's ... and saves ...'.
× Actually, I use I usually use a laptop keyboard on a daily basis because I use it to make presentations based on the notes I take on my iPad.
✓ Actually, I usually use a laptop keyboard on a daily basis because I use it to make presentations based on the notes I take on my iPad.
There is an accidental repetition 'I use I usually use' causing redundancy and incorrect pronoun placement. Remove the extra 'I use' so the sentence reads smoothly. Suggestion: Proofread to remove duplicated words and maintain normal subject-verb order.
× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school. At the time I had computer classes so I can pick it up naturally.
✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school. At the time I had computer classes so I could pick it up naturally.
The clause 'so I can pick it up naturally' mixes present tense 'can' with a past context. Use past tense modal 'could' to match the past timeframe. Suggestion: Match tense within related clauses when describing past events.
× I always practiced my typing skills using on typing apps in Korea.
✓ I always practiced my typing skills using typing apps in Korea.
The phrase 'using on typing apps' contains an extra preposition 'on' that is not needed with 'using.' Remove 'on' to form the correct verb + -ing construction: 'using typing apps.' Suggestion: Use 'using' + noun (no 'on') or 'on' + noun without 'using'.
× I think it makes me develop, uh, my typing skills efficiently and practically.
✓ I think it helped me develop my typing skills efficiently and practically.
The speaker refers to past practice 'I always practiced' so the effect should be in past tense: 'helped me develop.' Also remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary comma. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and avoid fillers; use 'helped me develop' after past activities.
