Thêm chi tiết cụ thể hơn về lợi ích của gõ máy (ví dụ: tốc độ, chỉnh sửa dễ dàng) và dùng từ nối hợp lý để mạch lạc (e.g., "However", "Moreover"). Giữ độ dài không quá 5 câu.
Example: I prefer typing because I can work faster and edit my work easily on my laptop. For example, when I'm researching in my BSD course I can quickly copy sources and reorganise notes. However, handwriting has its charm for personal notes, as it often feels more expressive.

× I prefer typing. It's just because I have a laptop and now I'm doing research in my BSD course and that's why typing can help me save my time and effort.
✓ I prefer typing because I have a laptop and I am doing research for my BSD course, so typing helps me save time and effort.
Original sentence mixes informal fillers and awkward phrasing. Use present simple 'I prefer' and present continuous 'I am doing' consistently; change 'that's why typing can help me save my time and effort' to 'so typing helps me save time and effort' for natural present-tense meaning. (Grammar problem type ID:6)
× Moreover, sometimes handwriting has its own charm, especially when you want to share your emotion to others.
✓ Moreover, sometimes handwriting has its own charm, especially when you want to share your emotions with others.
Use the plural 'emotions' and the correct preposition 'with' after 'share' rather than 'to'. (Grammar problem type ID:11)
× Yes I do. I am a student now and there's lots of thing I do with my laptop such as e-mail in e-mail my teachers or stay writing assignments or you know, taking note about.
✓ Yes I do. I am a student now and there are lots of things I do with my laptop, such as emailing my teachers, writing assignments, or taking notes.
Use 'there are' with plural 'lots of things' (subject-verb agreement) and plural 'things'. Use gerunds/verbs correctly: 'emailing', 'writing', 'taking notes'. Remove filler 'you know' and incorrect phrases 'e-mail in e-mail' and 'stay writing' and 'taking note about'. (Grammar problem type ID:2)
× When I was in secondary school, uh, however, I, my family didn't have a computer, but, uh, a post office near my family, they, you know, they had, uh, some computers and I visited there and, and I paid for, you know, a sum of money.
✓ When I was in secondary school, my family didn't have a computer, but a post office near our home had some computers, so I went there and paid a small fee to use them.
Simplify and correct past-tense narration: 'didn't have' is fine; use past simple 'had' and 'went' and 'paid' for actions in the past. Remove redundant fillers and fix noun phrases: 'post office near our home' and 'paid a small fee'. (Grammar problem type ID:5)
× Practice is the best way from my side to improve my typing skill.
✓ Practice is the best way for me to improve my typing skills.
Use 'for me' rather than 'from my side' and plural 'skills' is more natural. Present simple is correct for general truth. (Grammar problem type ID:6)
× In the past, I didn't turn out well.
✓ In the past, I didn't do well.
'Turn out well' is incorrect here; use 'do well' to describe performance in the past. (Grammar problem type ID:5)
× However, uh, thanks to uh, regular practice, now my typing is improved and I can do it faster.
✓ However, thanks to regular practice, my typing has improved and I can type faster now.
Use present perfect 'has improved' to link past practice to present result and use 'type faster' rather than 'do it faster' for clarity. (Grammar problem type ID:9)
