Score: 62.0Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and fillers, give a clear topic sentence, then add one concise reason with a specific example. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use linking words (for example, because, so) to improve coherence.
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting is hard to read. For example, my friends often ask me to rewrite notes because they can’t understand them. So typing is more convenient and faster for me.

× I I, I like, uh, typing more than handwriting.
✓ I like typing more than handwriting.
The original sentence contains repeated words and filler sounds that disrupt sentence flow. Remove duplicated 'I' and fillers to make the sentence grammatically correct and natural. Suggestion: pause briefly instead of repeating words or using fillers.
× To be honest.
✓ To be honest, I prefer typing because my handwriting is hard to read.
A sentence fragment lacks a main verb and object; 'To be honest' is a dependent phrase and cannot stand alone. Combine it with a complete clause to form a full sentence.
× In the handwriting, I actually don't, uh, write well.
✓ My handwriting is actually not very neat.
The phrase 'In the handwriting' is incorrect use of prepositional phrase and awkward pronoun reference. Recast the sentence to use a clear subject 'My handwriting' and adjective 'neat' for clarity and correct grammar.
× So many friends pointed out that, umm, my like, they can't understand what I am writing, so I but in typing, it doesn't matter.
✓ Many friends pointed out that they cannot understand my handwriting, but with typing it does not matter.
Original mixes pronouns and filler words ('my like', 'they') and has a broken contrast structure. Use 'they' to refer to friends and 'my handwriting' as the object. Use contrasting conjunction 'but' correctly and choose 'with typing' to express contrast.
× That's why.
✓ That's why I prefer typing.
'That's why' alone is a fragment. It needs a following clause to explain what it refers to. Add the consequence to complete the sentence.
× I actually typed on the laptop keyboard on a daily basis, to be honest, because simply because I use the laptops on my business.
✓ I actually type on a laptop keyboard on a daily basis because I use a laptop for my work.
Mixes past tense 'typed' with present habitual context 'on a daily basis' and incorrect plurality 'laptops' and awkward phrase 'on my business'. Use present simple 'type' for habitual actions, singular 'a laptop' if referring to one, and 'for my work' instead of 'on my business'.
× So yeah. And laptop keyboard comes with it, so that's why.
✓ So yeah, the laptop has a built-in keyboard, which is another reason.
Fragmented clauses and incorrect article usage ('And laptop keyboard comes with it') make the sentence awkward. Use definite article 'the' and restructure to a full sentence. Avoid starting sentences with conjunctions in formal corrections.
× I came to type on the keyboard when I, umm, entered the junior high school when I had when I had a programming classes in those classes, I had to call some programs and that was exactly where I had to type a lot of calls on the laptop on the system.
✓ I started typing on a keyboard when I entered junior high school because I had programming classes where I had to write many programs on the computer.
Original contains tense confusion ('came to type' is unnatural), repetition, and unclear phrasing ('call some programs', 'type a lot of calls'). Use 'started typing' for the beginning of a habit, simplify 'junior high school' without 'the', and use 'write programs' or 'type programs' and 'on the computer' for clarity.
× So that's why.
✓ So that's why I learned to type then.
Fragment; add a full clause to indicate the consequence and include appropriate tense.
× Well, are the way to improve my typing is that I practice every day on the UH, while doing the works.
✓ Well, the way I improve my typing is that I practice every day while doing my work.
Original has word order errors ('are the way'), unexplained 'UH', and plural 'the works'. Correct subject-verb order 'the way I improve', remove fillers, and use 'my work' for natural phrasing.
× Umm. So typing over and over again, uh, like taking a minute would improve my uh, typing skills very significantly.
✓ Typing repeatedly, for example practicing for one minute each day, has significantly improved my typing skills.
Original mixes modal and conditional structures awkwardly and uses inconsistent tense. Use present perfect 'has improved' to describe result of repeated action, or present simple for habitual practice. Rephrase to remove fillers and clarify 'taking a minute' as an example practice duration.
