When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Be more concise and structured. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Avoid fillers like 'uh' and 'umm' and repetition (e.g. 'more' twice).
Example: I prefer handwriting because it helps me improve my penmanship and speed. For example, when I take notes by hand I remember information better, and over time my handwriting and speed have both improved.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence then a brief explanation. Use linking words like 'because' or 'however' and avoid redundant phrases. Be specific about frequency if possible.
Example: I usually type on a laptop rather than a desktop because I don't own a desktop at home. However, I sometimes use a desktop keyboard during computer classes at school.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Start with a direct answer about timing, then provide one specific detail about how you learned. Avoid vague phrases like 'throughout it' and reduce repetition (e.g. 'teachers, they').
Example: I learned to type in middle school when we had dedicated lessons on keyboarding. The teachers showed us touch-typing techniques using desktop keyboards, which helped me build accuracy and speed.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence then one or two specific methods you use to improve, with linking words. Remove fillers ('uh', 'you know') and correct grammar ('more faster' -> 'faster').
Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly on my laptop and using online typing exercises to build speed and accuracy. For example, I do 15 minutes of timed drills each day to reduce errors and increase my words-per-minute.
× Honestly, I prefer handwriting more as it, uh, helps to increase my writing skills more as I could write faster and better.
✓ Honestly, I prefer handwriting because it helps improve my writing skills and allows me to write faster and better.
The sentence uses redundant 'more' and awkward 'as' twice; 'helps to increase my writing skills' is unnatural — use 'helps improve'. Also 'could' is incorrect in present preference; use 'allows me to' to express ability. Suggest removing filler words and combining clauses for clarity. (ID:13)
× For me I actually type on laptop more than desktop keyboard because I don't have a computer with me right now.
✓ I actually type on a laptop more than on a desktop keyboard because I don't have a computer with me right now.
Missing articles and preposition: 'a laptop' and 'on a desktop keyboard' are needed. Word order 'type on laptop more than desktop keyboard' is awkward; add 'on' and articles. Also 'For me' is unnecessary. (ID:2)
× So I usually do it on laptop, but sometimes I go with the desktop keyboard in my computer classes.
✓ So I usually use my laptop, but sometimes I use the desktop keyboard in my computer classes.
Use 'use' rather than 'do it' for typing, and possessive 'my laptop' is natural. 'Go with' is informal and odd here; 'use the desktop keyboard' is clearer. Preposition 'in my computer classes' is correct. (ID:11)
× I learned to type on a keyboard in my middle school as we had classes throughout it to help students have more knowledge on typing.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard in middle school because we had classes that taught typing.
'In my middle school' is acceptable but 'in middle school' is more natural. 'As' can be replaced with 'because' for clarity. 'Classes throughout it to help students have more knowledge on typing' is wordy and ungrammatical; simplify to 'classes that taught typing'. Also maintain past tense consistently. (ID:5)
× So the teachers, they helped us with typing in a desktop keyboard.
✓ The teachers helped us learn to type on desktop keyboards.
Redundant subject 'the teachers, they' should be simplified. Use 'learn to type on' rather than 'helped us with typing in a desktop keyboard'. Use plural 'desktop keyboards' or 'the desktop keyboard' depending on context; plural is more natural. (ID:12)
× I improve my typing through practicing, uh, with my laptop keyboard by you know, making my fingers more faster and accurate so I could finish a work in a limited time.
✓ I improve my typing by practicing on my laptop keyboard, making my fingers faster and more accurate so I can finish work within a limited time.
Use 'by practicing' rather than 'through practicing' and 'on my laptop keyboard' for correct preposition. 'Making my fingers more faster' is incorrect: use 'faster and more accurate' (not 'more faster'). 'So I could' should be 'so I can' to express general ability. 'Finish a work' should be 'finish work' or 'finish a task'. (ID:8)
