Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Be more concise and direct: give a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then one or two specific supporting reasons with linking words. Avoid repeating words like "professional" and unnecessary fillers such as "Yes." Also correct small grammar issues (e.g., "type on Microsoft Word" → "type in Microsoft Word").
Example: I prefer typing for most tasks because it is faster and easier to edit. For example, when I write assignments I use Microsoft Word, which helps me format my work and correct mistakes quickly.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid redundancy: start with the main point (laptop), then give two concise reasons with linking words. Remove vague or repetitive phrases like "or anything else" and unclear claims such as "more professional in my time."
Example: Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I use my laptop for chatting and gaming. As a result, I have become faster and more accurate when typing.

Example: I learned to type in primary school when I attended a computer class. My teacher used typing games to teach us, and this practice helped me become more accurate as an adult.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Structure your answer: start with a clear topic sentence describing your main method for improvement, then give specific activities and measurable improvements. Reduce fillers (uh, umm) and correct grammar (e.g., "I improve my typing by using the ten-finger method" and "I chat with friends and play games").
Example: I improve my typing by using the ten-finger method and practicing regularly. For instance, I chat with friends and play typing games online, which has made me faster and reduced my error rate.
× Actually it depends on the situation.
✓ Actually, it depends on the situation.
No change in verb form needed; add comma after introductory adverb for correct punctuation. This improves clarity. Suggestion: include a comma after introductory words like 'actually'.
× For my assignments or work, I always use my laptop to type on the Microsoft Word and it can make my assignments more professional and easy to edit compared with handwriting.
✓ For my assignments or work, I always use my laptop to type in Microsoft Word because it makes my assignments more professional and easier to edit than handwriting.
Use 'in Microsoft Word' (no 'the') and 'makes' for subject-verb agreement with a singular subject. Use comparative phrase 'easier to edit than handwriting' rather than 'compared with handwriting'. Also use 'easier' (adjective) not 'easy'. Suggestion: use correct article with software names and match verb forms to singular subjects.
× Oh definitely, I always use my laptop to type everything when I chat with my friend or playing games or anything else.
✓ Oh definitely, I always use my laptop to type everything when I chat with my friends or play games or do anything else.
Maintain consistent present simple tense: 'chat' and 'play' parallel verbs. Use plural 'friends' if referring generally. Replace 'playing games' with base form 'play games' after 'when'. Suggestion: keep parallel verbs and consistent number.
× I always use my laptop keyboard and it can make me more accurate and professional in my time.
✓ I always use my laptop keyboard, and it helps me be more accurate and professional with my work.
Use 'helps me be' rather than 'make me' for natural phrasing; 'in my time' is unclear—replace with 'with my work'. Present tense 'helps' matches ongoing habit. Suggestion: choose clear expressions for context and maintain tense consistency.
× When I learned at primary school I used to join a computer class and my teacher taught me how to type on the app games and it make me more accurate and more professional when I was adult.
✓ When I was at primary school, I used to attend a computer class and my teacher taught me how to type using educational apps, and it made me more accurate and more confident when I became an adult.
Use 'was at primary school' and 'used to attend' for past habitual action. 'Attend' is more natural than 'join'. 'Using educational apps' replaces 'on the app games'. Change 'it make' to past 'it made' and 'when I was adult' to 'when I became an adult'. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent and use natural collocations.
× I'm Ruth my typing by 10 finger.
✓ I type using the ten-finger method.
Original sentence is ungrammatical. 'I'm Ruth' is irrelevant; likely intended 'I type by 10 finger' meaning 'I use ten fingers to type'. Use noun phrase 'ten-finger method' or 'using ten fingers'. Suggestion: express the subject and action clearly: 'I type using ten fingers'.
× I always chat with my friends and playing games and I notice that I can uh, typing more accurate and faster and it can help me more professional skills and uh, become umm, uh, good at typing.
✓ I always chat with my friends and play games, and I have noticed that I can type more accurately and faster; this has helped me develop more professional skills and become good at typing.
Maintain parallel verbs: 'chat' and 'play'. Use present perfect 'have noticed' for experiences up to now. Use 'type' (base form) not 'typing' after 'can'. Use adverb 'accurately' rather than adjective 'accurate'. 'Helped me develop' is clearer than 'help me more professional skills'. Suggestion: use parallel verb forms, correct modal + verb ('can type'), and appropriate adverbs for manner.
