Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, correct grammar and avoid redundancy. Start with one direct preference, then briefly explain reasons with coherent linking words and specific examples. Watch articles, plural/singular agreement and sentence structure (e.g., "for different purposes", "for personal things").
Example: I prefer both typing and handwriting for different purposes. For example, at work I usually type reports and emails because it is faster and easier to edit, while I use handwriting for personal notes or journaling because it feels more personal and helps me remember things better.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Provide a single coherent response: state clearly which you use, then give concise supporting details. Correct grammar (use articles: "a laptop"), remove hesitations and repetitions, and use linking words for clarity. Mention specific effects of age on performance (e.g., slow start-up).
Example: Yes, I use a laptop every day at work because it was provided by my company. It was issued five years ago and still works, but it has become noticeably slower, for example it takes longer to start up and several programs run more slowly.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Begin with a clear time reference, then give specific details. Use correct word order and possessives (e.g., "computer maintenance"), avoid fragmented sentences, and use linking words to connect ideas. Mention a concrete activity you learned to show specificity.
Example: I learned to type when I was in high school as part of a computer class. The teacher showed us proper keyboard techniques, basic computer maintenance such as how to turn the computer on and off safely, and how to use common software.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Respond with a clear method and specific routine. Use correct grammar and cohesive linking words. Describe exactly how the app helps (e.g., exercises, speed tests, accuracy drills) and give measurable progress or time frame to make the answer more precise.
Example: I improve my typing using an app called Typing Test that measures speed and accuracy. Every day I practise for 20 minutes doing accuracy drills and posture exercises, and after a few weeks my speed increased from 40 to 52 words per minute.
× I prefer both typing and handwriting but in different purposes.
✓ I prefer both typing and handwriting but for different purposes.
The preposition 'for' is required with 'purposes' to indicate the reason or use. Also 'purposes' should be plural when referring to different uses. Suggestion: use 'for different purposes' to be natural and grammatically correct.
× So in work usually we use typing because we have a laptop to do the reports and send emails, while for personal thing or I use handwriting.
✓ At work we usually type because we have laptops to write reports and send emails, while for personal things I use handwriting.
Multiple issues: word order ('At work' is more natural), verb choice ('type' not 'use typing'), plural nouns ('laptops' or 'a laptop' consistent; 'reports' plural), and 'personal thing' should be 'personal things'. Remove extraneous 'or' and fix pronoun placement. Suggestion: keep subject-verb order clear and use plural nouns when generalizing.
× Yes, I use laptop every day at work.
✓ Yes, I use a laptop every day at work.
Countable singular nouns require an article. 'Laptop' needs 'a' unless you mean 'the laptop' (a specific one). Suggestion: use 'a laptop' for a general statement about using one device.
× It was provided and issued to me five years ago.
✓ It was provided to me five years ago.
Redundant verb: 'provided' and 'issued' convey the same idea; using both is unnecessary. The tense 'was provided' correctly expresses a past passive action. Suggestion: use one verb, e.g., 'was provided', for clarity.
× Luckily it's still working as fine but because of the old age it it is it slower compared.
✓ Luckily it's still working fine, but because it is old, it is slower compared to newer models.
Problems: unnecessary words ('as', duplicate 'it'), awkward comparative structure. Use 'working fine' (not 'working as fine'), and clarify the comparison: 'slower compared to newer models' or 'slower than before'. Suggestion: remove duplicates and supply a clear comparison object.
× When I was in high school, there was a subject of computer and the teacher taught us how to properly use the keyboard and the computer it's maintenance how to.
✓ When I was in high school, there was a computer class and the teacher taught us how to use the keyboard properly and how to maintain the computer.
Awkward noun phrase ('subject of computer' -> 'computer class'), word order for adverb ('use the keyboard properly'), and incorrect clause for maintenance ('the computer it's maintenance how to' is ungrammatical). Suggestion: reorder to 'how to maintain the computer' and use past tense 'taught' correctly.
× Properly turn off and on the computer.
✓ Properly turn the computer off and on.
Word order: phrasal verb 'turn off' should keep 'off' after the object when the object is expressed ('turn the computer off'). Place 'properly' before the verb phrase or after the object: 'properly turn the computer off and on.' Suggestion: use correct phrasal verb placement.
× Recently I discovered an app called the typing test.
✓ Recently I discovered an app called the Typing Test.
If 'Typing Test' is the name of the app, capitalize it and treat it as a proper noun. If it's a common noun, use 'a typing test app' or 'an app called the typing test'. Suggestion: be consistent with article use and capitalization for app names.
× So that test will define or determine your typing speed.
✓ That test measures your typing speed.
'Define or determine' is wordy and slightly awkward; 'measure' is more natural. Also avoid 'So' starting sentence unnecessarily. Suggestion: use concise verbs like 'measures' for clarity.
× Every day I use it to improve the my typing skills how I how is the proper positioning of my hand and for weeks I improve a lot.
✓ Every day I use it to improve my typing skills, to learn the proper positioning of my hands, and over a few weeks I have improved a lot.
Errors: extra article 'the' before 'my', awkward clause order for learning positioning, singular 'hand' should be plural 'hands' in this context, and tense should reflect ongoing improvement ('have improved'). Suggestion: break into clear parallel infinitive phrases and use present perfect for recent improvements.
