Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Be more concise, correct grammar, and use clearer, more natural phrases. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid redundancy (e.g., “handwriting can convey my meaning correctly to the other” is awkward).
Example: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and expressive. For example, receiving a handwritten card or a homemade illustration often makes people feel appreciated, which typing usually cannot achieve.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and avoid repeating the same idea. Fix small grammar errors (everyday vs. every day) and use linking words to connect reasons. Add one specific detail about what you do on the laptop.
Example: Yes, I use a laptop keyboard every day because I’m a university student and most of my coursework and research are done on my laptop. For instance, I write essays and take online lectures on it, so it’s essential for my studies.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Open with a direct time statement, correct small grammar issues, and tighten the explanation. Use a linking word to show cause (because/so) and be specific about what you learned.
Example: I learned to type when I was about ten years old at elementary school. In our computer class we had to complete assignments on the keyboard, so the teacher showed us proper typing techniques and practice exercises.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Make the answer clearer and more specific. State the method in one sentence, then give a concrete example and result. Correct grammar and word choice (e.g., “websites that offer typing exercises,” “it improves my speed and accuracy”).
Example: I improve my typing by using online typing practice sites that provide lessons and timed tests. For example, I use a site that gives structured exercises and tracks my words-per-minute, which has helped me increase my speed and reduce errors.
× Actually, I prefer handwriting because handwriting can convey my meaning correctly to the other.
✓ Actually, I prefer handwriting because handwriting can convey my meaning correctly to others.
The preposition phrase 'to the other' is incorrect here. Use 'to others' to refer generally to other people. Also 'handwriting' as a general preference is fine; changing the preposition makes the sentence natural and grammatically correct.
× Also, if someone received a card with handwriting or a song handmade illustration, I think the person might be very delightful.
✓ Also, if someone received a card with handwriting or a handmade illustrated song, I think the person might be very delighted.
Pronoun 'the person' is technically okay but sounds awkward; 'the person might be very delightful' is incorrect because 'delightful' describes something that causes delight, not the person's feeling. 'Delighted' describes the person's emotion. Also word order and adjective form needed adjustment: 'handmade illustrated song' or better 'a handmade illustrated card or song' would be clearer. The correction focuses on pronoun and adjective choice.
× Yes, I use laptop keyboard everyday because I am a student at university so I need to finish my homework with my laptop or computer.
✓ Yes, I use a laptop keyboard every day because I am a university student, so I need to finish my homework on my laptop or computer.
Missing article before 'laptop keyboard' and wrong preposition 'with' for completing homework on a device. 'Everyday' was used as an adjective but needs to be the adverbial phrase 'every day'. Also 'a student at university' is better as 'a university student' for natural word order.
× So it is necessary for using laptop keyboard everyday.
✓ So it is necessary for me to use a laptop keyboard every day.
Incorrect structure 'necessary for using' should be 'necessary for me to use' or 'necessary to use'. Also missing article 'a' and 'everyday' should be 'every day' as an adverbial phrase.
× Actually when I was 10 years old, because when I started at elementary school, we had computer class.
✓ I actually learned when I was 10 years old because when I started elementary school, we had computer class.
Sentence fragment and awkward placement of 'actually'. The verb tense 'was' is fine for the age, but the original begins with 'Actually when I was 10 years old, because...' which is a dependent phrase followed by a clause; restructuring into a complete sentence improves clarity.
× So at that time we needed to finish our homework by using keyboard.
✓ So at that time we needed to finish our homework by using the keyboard.
Missing article 'the' before 'keyboard'. Using 'by using the keyboard' is acceptable; could also be simplified to 'using the keyboard'.
× So our teacher taught me how to use them.
✓ So our teacher taught me how to use it.
The pronoun 'them' refers to plural objects but 'keyboard' is singular, so use 'it'. If referring to computers and keyboards, reword to 'how to use them' with a clear plural antecedent.
× I usually find some website that you can according to the article they offered and follow the laws articles wrote and type on the computer and it helps me a lot because it can change my speed of typing.
✓ I usually find websites that offer articles to follow and practice typing on the computer, and this helps me a lot because it can increase my typing speed.
Original sentence has multiple preposition and idiom errors. 'Find some website that you can according to the article they offered' is ungrammatical. Use 'websites that offer articles to follow' and 'practice typing' instead of 'type on the computer'. 'Change my speed of typing' is awkward; use 'increase my typing speed'. Also plural 'websites' matches generality.
