Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Give a fuller, natural response with a clear topic sentence and one or two concise supporting reasons. Avoid unnecessary details like owning a laptop unless it directly supports your point, and keep to under five sentences.
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it's faster and easier to edit. For instance, I can quickly correct mistakes and format documents on my laptop, which saves time when I’m working on assignments.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence (desktop or laptop) and then give two specific, linked reasons. Use linking words (because, so, for example) and correct common grammar (e.g., "time-consuming"). Keep sentences concise and avoid repetition.
Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it's portable and convenient. For example, when I write assignments or emails to my university, I can type quickly and work from different places, which saves time.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Respond with a clear time reference and one concise supporting detail. Correct grammar ("learned to type", "after I graduated", "an unused keyboard in my house"). Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid vague phrasing.
Example: I learned to type after I graduated from school, when I started practicing on an old keyboard at home. By practicing regularly on that keyboard, I gradually became more comfortable and faster.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Provide a concise structure: topic sentence, two specific methods, and a result. Fix grammar and word choice ("reduce errors", "without looking at the keys"). Avoid repetition and keep to under five sentences.
Example: I improve my typing by doing online typing tests and practicing for about 15 minutes every day. As a result, I get faster and make fewer mistakes; for example, I often compose emails without looking at the keys to build accuracy.
× I type on a laptop keyboard everyday and it is much easier to carry and it less time consumable when I write an assignment or write an e-mail to the university because I can type quickly.
✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day; it is much easier to carry, and it takes less time when I write an assignment or an e-mail to the university because I can type quickly.
Errors: 'everyday' is an adjective but the phrase needs the adverb 'every day' (Grammar problem type 20). 'it less time consumable' is ungrammatical word order and incorrect word choice; the correct phrasing is 'it takes less time' (Grammar problem type 26 and 13). Also add an article before 'e-mail' ('an e-mail') (Grammar problem type 22). Improve by using 'every day' for frequency, 'it takes less time' for expressing reduced time, and correct article use.
× Well, I improve my typing by using online typing tests and practicing every day and this helps me get faster and make fear mistake.
✓ Well, I improve my typing by using online typing tests and practicing every day; this helps me get faster and make fewer mistakes.
Errors: 'make fear mistake' is incorrect vocabulary and singular/plural mismatch; you need 'fewer mistakes' to indicate a reduced number of errors (Grammar problem types 13 and 1). Also sentence flow improves with punctuation; use 'fewer' for countable 'mistakes' and plural form 'mistakes'.
× For example, I I spend about 15 minutes on a typing site and also try to write e-mail without looking at the key.
✓ For example, I spend about 15 minutes on a typing site and also try to write e-mails without looking at the keys.
Errors: duplicated 'I I' is a typo (Grammar problem type 26). 'e-mail' in this context should be plural or 'an e-mail' depending on meaning; 'e-mails' fits with habit (Grammar problem type 1/22). Also 'key' should be plural 'keys' because a keyboard has multiple keys (Grammar problem type 1). Fix by removing duplication, matching number with meaning, and using plural 'keys'.
× I learned the type on the keyboard after my school graduation and there is a unused keyboard on my house and I practiced on it.
✓ I learned to type on the keyboard after I graduated from school; there was an unused keyboard in my house, and I practiced on it.
Errors: 'learned the type' is wrong verb pattern; use 'learned to type' or 'learned typing' (Grammar problem type 9/8). 'after my school graduation' is awkward; use 'after I graduated from school' (Grammar problem type 26). 'there is a unused keyboard on my house' has article error and incorrect preposition: use 'there was an unused keyboard in my house' (Grammar problem types 22 and 11). Use past tense consistently since the action happened in the past (Grammar problem type 5).
× That's how I learn from.
✓ That's how I learned.
Errors: 'That's how I learn from' is ungrammatical: 'learn from' needs an object (e.g., 'learn from it') or use 'learned' to match past context (Grammar problem types 26, 11, 5). The concise correction 'That's how I learned.' fits the past narrative and removes the incorrect preposition.
× I prefer typing as I have a laptop.
✓ I prefer typing because I have a laptop.
Error: 'as' is not incorrect grammatically but 'because' is a clearer conjunction in this context (Grammar problem type 16). This sentence is otherwise acceptable; suggestion improves clarity. No major grammar type listed, but keep for clarity.
