Part 1

Examiner

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Candidate

Recently I prefer typing on the computer. That's because it's much more easier than actually writing it on a paper, letter by letter, which is also I believe is time consuming and that's why I prefer typing on a computer.

Examiner

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Candidate

I have a laptop and I do not have a desktop at home and that's why I type on the laptop keyboard every day. It is very convenient and practical I feel. And yeah.

Examiner

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Candidate

When I was in my 6th grade, I remember I was introduced to the computer lab in my school and since then I've been using the laptop keyboard as well as the desktop keyboard. And as years passed, I am a fast typer as well.

Examiner

How do you improve your typing?

Candidate

Well, I would just say by keeping it in practice daily. That's because the letters are not arranged in an alphabetical order, but it is arranged randomly and in order to improve typing on desktop, it's just the muscle memory which is required.

Part 1

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Make the response more concise, correct minor grammar errors, and add a clear reason with one supporting detail. Avoid repetition (e.g., 'prefer typing on a computer' repeated). Use linking words for coherence.

Example: I prefer typing on a computer because it's faster and more efficient than handwriting. For example, when I take notes or write emails I can edit and format text quickly, which saves me time.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence, avoid filler phrases like 'and yeah,' and combine ideas using linking words. Add a specific example of why the laptop is convenient to strengthen the answer.

Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop. It's very convenient since I can work anywhere in my home and easily carry it to classes.

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Use a clear past-time topic sentence and avoid unnecessary repetition. Use linking words (e.g., 'since then' is fine) and give a specific detail about how your typing improved (practice, courses, or games).

Example: I learned to type in sixth grade when my school introduced us to the computer lab. Since then I practised regularly and now I can type quickly and accurately.

How do you improve your typing?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, correct small awkward phrasing, and include a specific practice method (e.g., timed exercises, typing programs, or accuracy drills). Use linking words to connect reason and method.

Example: I improve my typing by practising daily with online exercises and timed tests. Because the keys aren't arranged alphabetically, regular practice builds muscle memory and improves both my speed and accuracy.

Grammar

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× That's because it's much more easier than actually writing it on a paper, letter by letter, which is also I believe is time consuming and that's why I prefer typing on a computer.

✓ That's because it's much easier than actually writing on paper, letter by letter; I also believe it is time consuming, so I prefer typing on a computer.

The phrase 'much more easier' is incorrect because 'easier' is already a comparative adjective and should not be preceded by 'more'. Use 'much easier' for emphasis. 'Writing it on a paper' is awkward; use 'writing on paper' or 'writing it on a piece of paper'. The parenthetical 'which is also I believe is time consuming' has redundant verbs and incorrect word order; rephrase to 'I also believe it is time consuming'. Use a semicolon or separate sentences to clarify the ideas. Suggestion: remove extra comparatives, simplify noun phrases, and fix word order. Grammar problem type ID:13

Article errors

× ...actually writing it on a paper, letter by letter...

✓ ...actually writing it on a piece of paper, letter by letter...

English uses 'a piece of paper' or 'paper' without an article in general. 'A paper' usually refers to an article or exam, so 'a piece of paper' is clearer when referring to a sheet. Suggestion: use 'on paper' or 'on a piece of paper' depending on context. Grammar problem type ID:22

Incorrect use of pronouns

× which is also I believe is time consuming

✓ I also believe it is time consuming

The original has redundant 'is' and incorrect placement of 'I believe'. The reporting phrase 'I believe' should be positioned before the clause or set off properly: 'I also believe it is time consuming' or 'which, I believe, is time consuming'. Remove the extra 'is'. Suggestion: place reporting verbs outside the clause or use commas to set them off. Grammar problem type ID:12

Sentence structure errors

× I have a laptop and I do not have a desktop at home and that's why I type on the laptop keyboard every day.

✓ I have a laptop and no desktop at home, so I type on the laptop keyboard every day.

The original sentence is wordy and repeats conjunctions ('and' twice) leading to a run-on feel. Replace 'I do not have a desktop at home and that's why' with a concise connector 'no desktop at home, so' to improve flow and clarity. Suggestion: combine ideas with 'so' or restructure to avoid redundancy. Grammar problem type ID:26

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It is very convenient and practical I feel.

✓ I feel it is very convenient and practical.

The adverbial phrase 'I feel' is misplaced at the end, causing awkward rhythm. Place the reporting phrase at the beginning or set it off with commas: 'I feel it is very convenient and practical' or 'It is very convenient and practical, I feel.' Suggestion: choose consistent placement for reporting verbs and use commas if placed after the main clause. Grammar problem type ID:13

Past tense issue

× When I was in my 6th grade, I remember I was introduced to the computer lab in my school and since then I've been using the laptop keyboard as well as the desktop keyboard.

✓ When I was in sixth grade, I remember being introduced to the computer lab at my school, and since then I've used both laptop and desktop keyboards.

Use 'sixth grade' rather than 'my 6th grade' for natural phrasing. 'I remember I was introduced' is wordy; 'I remember being introduced' is more concise. Use 'at my school' rather than 'in my school'. The present perfect continuous 'I've been using' can be simplified to 'I've used' to emphasize ongoing experience without awkwardness. Suggestion: prefer 'being introduced' and correct preposition to 'at'. Grammar problem type ID:5

Subject-verb agreement errors

× And as years passed, I am a fast typer as well.

✓ And as the years passed, I became a fast typist as well.

Tense is inconsistent: 'as years passed' suggests past time, but 'I am' is present. Change to past tense 'I became' to match. Also 'typer' is nonstandard; use 'typist' for a person who types. Add 'the' before 'years' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: match verb tense with time expression and use correct noun 'typist'. Grammar problem type ID:27

Verb + -ing form

× Well, I would just say by keeping it in practice daily.

✓ Well, I would just say by keeping it in practice daily.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable but awkwardly phrased; consider 'Well, I would say by practicing daily' for clarity. The original uses 'keeping it in practice' which is nonstandard; 'practicing' (verb + -ing) is the natural form here. Suggestion: replace the phrase with 'practicing daily' to be more idiomatic. Grammar problem type ID:8

Incorrect use of articles and prepositions

× That's because the letters are not arranged in an alphabetical order, but it is arranged randomly and in order to improve typing on desktop, it's just the muscle memory which is required.

✓ That's because the letters are not arranged in alphabetical order; they are arranged in a specific pattern, and to improve typing on a desktop you need to develop muscle memory.

Use 'alphabetical order' without an article ('in alphabetical order'). 'It is arranged randomly' is vague—keyboards follow a set layout, so 'they are arranged in a specific pattern' is clearer. 'In order to improve typing on desktop' lacks an article: 'on a desktop' or 'on the desktop' is needed. 'It's just the muscle memory which is required' is awkward; use 'you need to develop muscle memory.' Suggestion: remove unnecessary articles, correct prepositions, and use clearer phrasing about muscle memory. Grammar problem type ID:11}]}
