Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Be more concise and direct: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with clearer vocabulary and correct grammar. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases (e.g. "present error"). Use linking words (for example, "because" or "so") to connect ideas.
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and easier to edit. For example, when I need to send a long message or prepare assignments, I can type quickly and correct mistakes without rewriting. However, I sometimes handwrite notes when I want to remember things better.

× Usually I prefer typing over handwriting, but yeah, sometimes I also use handwritten.
✓ Usually I prefer typing to handwriting, but sometimes I also write by hand.
The phrase 'prefer A to B' is the correct collocation; 'over' is less idiomatic here. 'Handwritten' is an adjective, not the correct verb form; use 'write by hand' or 'handwriting' as a noun. Use 'sometimes' instead of colloquial 'yeah, sometimes'. Suggestion: say 'I prefer typing to handwriting' and 'I also write by hand'.
× That depends on my mood.
✓ That depends on my mood.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. (No error from the given list.)
× But yeah, typing is much needed and important in present error.
✓ But typing is very important at present.
The phrase 'much needed and important' is wordy; 'very important' is natural. 'In present error' is incorrect — use 'at present' or 'now'. Suggestion: use 'at present' for current time.
× And you and I have a good speed in typing because if I have to send a long paragraph to someone.
✓ You and I have good typing speed, because if I have to send a long paragraph to someone, typing is faster.
The original is a fragment and awkwardly phrased. 'Have a good speed in typing' is unnatural; use 'have good typing speed' or 'type quickly'. The sentence needs completion to explain consequence. Rearranged to form a complete sentence.
× So I prefer typing over and writing.
✓ So I prefer typing to writing.
Use 'prefer A to B' and avoid redundant words; 'over and writing' is ungrammatical.
× Of course I type every day on a laptop because being a student I have to type and make my assignment submission on time.
✓ Of course I type every day on a laptop because, as a student, I have to type and submit my assignments on time.
Use 'as a student' for the role. 'Make my assignment submission' is unnatural; use 'submit my assignments'. Plural 'assignments' matches usual context. Commas improve readability.
× So I usually use laptop to do my stuff and it's really easy to carry laptop and you can do your work all over the corner where where even when you're travelling.
✓ So I usually use a laptop to do my work; it's really easy to carry a laptop and you can work anywhere, even when you're travelling.
'Use laptop' requires an article: 'a laptop'. 'Do my stuff' is informal; 'do my work' is better. 'All over the corner' is incorrect; use 'anywhere'. Removed duplicate 'where'. Added commas and natural phrasing.
× So laptop.
✓ So I prefer a laptop.
Fragment 'So laptop.' lacks verb and is not a complete sentence. Expanded to a full sentence to express the intended idea.
× Well, I was in my middle school.
✓ Well, I was in middle school.
Use 'in middle school' without 'my' in English common usage. Tense is fine; dropped unnecessary possessive.
× I there was a special lecture for computer class and then I used to type on keyboard.
✓ There was a special lecture for the computer class, and then I learned to type on the keyboard.
Original word order 'I there was' is incorrect; use 'There was'. 'Used to type' suggests past habitual but 'learned to type' fits the question about when. Include articles: 'the computer class', 'the keyboard'.
× And yes, since from now I just love to being type on a keyboard.
✓ And since then I have loved typing on a keyboard.
'Since from now' is incorrect; use 'since then' or 'from then on'. 'Love to being type' mixes forms: use 'have loved typing' or 'love to type'. Present perfect 'have loved' connects past start to present.
× I don't know laptops.
✓ I don't know about laptops.
Saying 'I don't know laptops' is ungrammatical; use 'know about laptops' to express lack of knowledge regarding laptops.
× So I was in my middle school when I used to.
✓ So I was in middle school when I started learning to type.
Sentence fragment 'when I used to' is incomplete. Specify the action: 'started learning to type'. Remove 'my' in 'my middle school' for natural phrasing.
× I've randomly start typing anything on my laptop if I want to improve my typing speed.
✓ I randomly start typing anything on my laptop when I want to improve my typing speed.
After 'I have' (I've) the original used base form 'start'; mismatch. Better to remove contraction 'I've' and use simple present 'I randomly start' for habitual action, or use 'I randomly start typing' with 'when' not 'if'. Suggestion: 'I randomly start typing anything ... when I want to improve my typing speed.'
× Because sometimes you uh, you have a time limit to complete your task within that time phase.
✓ Sometimes you have a time limit to complete a task within that time frame.
Sentence should not start with 'Because' here; combine with previous sentence or rephrase. Remove filler 'uh'. 'Time phase' is incorrect; use 'time frame'. Use 'a task' or 'your task' consistently.
× So when I get a free time, I usually start typing and running things on my laptop just to increase my typing.
✓ So when I get free time, I usually start typing and practising on my laptop just to improve my typing speed.
'Get a free time' should be 'get free time' or 'have some free time'. 'Running things' is vague; use 'practising' or 'doing exercises'. 'Increase my typing' should be 'improve my typing speed'.
