Part 1

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation words (uh, um), avoid repetition, and make sentences more concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words (for example, however). Keep answers under five sentences and use precise vocabulary (e.g., concentrate, retain, faster).

Example: I prefer handwriting when I need to learn things in depth because writing helps me concentrate and remember subtle details. However, I usually type when I read articles or study language lessons because typing is faster and allows me to edit easily.

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

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement), remove filler words, and organize ideas with linking words (for example, however, additionally). Be specific about frequency and devices. Limit to four sentences and use precise verbs (e.g., program, message, prefer).

Example: I don't type on a desktop every day; I mainly use my laptop. I type essays and language notes a few times a week, but I code on my laptop almost every day to improve my software skills. Additionally, I rarely type messages on my phone because I usually prefer calling.

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Avoid rambling and simplify chronology. Use clear time expressions (e.g., since primary school, when I started high school). Replace vague phrases with specific ages or school years if possible. Use linking words (for example, however) to make contrast clear.

Example: I don't remember the exact first time I used a keyboard because I grew up with technology, but I started typing regularly after I learned to write at primary school. However, I didn't type long essays until my first year of high school.

How do you improve your typing?

Score: 56.0

Suggestion: Give a clear, complete answer and avoid trailing off. Use singular 'feedback' and complete the example. Mention specific actions you take to improve (practice, use typing software, correct common errors) and link ideas (for example, for instance). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I don't use formal training, but I improve my typing through feedback from my teacher. For instance, he underlines my mistakes and explains them, so I correct repeated errors and practise those words or use online typing exercises to increase my speed and accuracy.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Actually, it depends on what I'm typing or writing for.

✓ Actually, it depends on what I'm typing or writing it for.

The sentence needs a clear object of the preposition 'for'. Adding 'it' clarifies the object. Alternatively, rephrase to 'depends on what I'm typing or writing' or 'depends on why I'm typing or writing.' Keep present continuous for current preferences.

Sentence structure errors

× For example, uh, whenever I study for learning something precisely, uh, I definitely prefer handwriting, uh, in which case I comprehend the, I can comprehend the subtle details about the subject.

✓ For example, whenever I study to learn something precisely, I definitely prefer handwriting; in that case, I can comprehend the subtle details of the subject.

Use 'to learn' rather than 'for learning' to express purpose (infinitive). 'In which case' is formal and awkward; 'in that case' is clearer. Remove redundant phrasing 'I comprehend the, I can comprehend' and use 'comprehend the subtle details of the subject.' Maintain present simple/continuous as appropriate.

Sentence structure errors

× Uh, I want to learn and recognize my faults.

✓ I want to learn and recognize my faults.

No grammatical change needed except removing filler 'Uh'. Sentence is fine; keep present simple for general desire. Suggest removing hesitation words for clarity.

Verb in the present participle form

× Uh, on the other hand, uh, I often prefer typing whenever I study on articles or, uh, my language, uh, lessons because I say much more time through typing than.

✓ On the other hand, I often prefer typing when I study articles or my language lessons because I spend much more time typing than writing.

Use 'when' rather than 'whenever I study on'; 'study articles' or 'study about articles' is better as 'study articles'. 'Spend time' is the correct collocation, not 'say time'. Compare actions with 'than writing' to complete the comparison. Use present simple for habitual actions.

Sentence structure errors

× It due to the fact that I prefer typing for only few things, such as typing an essay or, uh, taking some notes for my language lessons.

✓ It's because I prefer typing only for a few things, such as typing an essay or taking notes for my language lessons.

Missing auxiliary 'It's' for 'It is because...'. Use 'a few' with countable plural noun 'things'. Move 'only' to correct position: 'prefer typing only for a few things.' Present simple describes preference.

Article errors

× Uh, I don't need to type every day on my laptop.

✓ I don't need to type on my laptop every day.

Place 'every day' after the verb phrase for natural word order. No article error per se but word order improves clarity.

Present tense issue

× Uh, I actually type something every other day at most.

✓ I actually type something at most every other day.

Move 'at most' before frequency expression for correct adverb placement. Present simple is appropriate for habitual action.

Verb in the present participle form

× However, if it counts, I try to improve my software knowledge.

✓ However, if it counts, I try to improve my software skills.

'Software knowledge' is awkward; 'software skills' is more natural. Present simple for habitual attempt.

Present tense issue

× So uh, I type uh, some codes on my laptop in a software program almost every day.

✓ So I type some code on my laptop in a software program almost every day.

Use 'code' as an uncountable noun rather than 'codes'. Remove fillers. Present simple for habitual action.

Present tense issue

× And additionally, I also type messages scarcely on my phone or my laptop, uh, rather, I usually prefer calling.

✓ Additionally, I rarely type messages on my phone or laptop; I usually prefer calling.

Use 'rarely' instead of 'scarcely' for natural adverb placement. Remove redundant words and use present simple for habitual preference.

Past tense issue

× Actually, I can't remember the first time, uh, I type something on a keyboard, uh, because of the fact that I was born, uh, after Millennium, uh, I was good at using technology rather my elders.

✓ Actually, I can't remember the first time I typed something on a keyboard because I was born after the millennium and I was better at using technology than my elders.

Use past simple 'typed' for a past event. Capitalize 'millennium' only if proper noun; use 'the millennium'. Use comparative 'better... than' for 'rather my elders.' Combine clauses with 'and' for clarity.

Past tense issue

× Uh, so I think I began typing on a keyboard just after, uh, I learned how to write, uh, at the school.

✓ So I think I began typing on a keyboard just after I learned how to write at school.

Use past simple 'began' and 'learned' for past events. Remove unnecessary 'the' before 'school' in general statements. Keep word order concise.

Past tense issue

× Uh, but I can clearly remember that, uh, I never typed an essay or something long until I got into high school, but, uh, in the first year, uh, at the high school.

✓ I can clearly remember that I never typed an essay or anything long until I entered high school, during my first year there.

Use past perfect/simple as needed—'never typed' is past simple which is fine; 'entered' is clearer than 'got into'. Use 'anything long' instead of 'something long'. Remove redundant 'the' before 'high school' and smooth phrase 'during my first year there.'

Present tense issue

× Uh, honestly, I don't do anything particular to enhance my typing skills.

✓ Honestly, I don't do anything particular to improve my typing skills.

Use 'improve' rather than 'enhance' for natural spoken English; present simple is correct for current habits.

Plural and singular issue

× Uh, but I think feedbacks of people, uh, who read what I typed, uh, help me with correcting my typing.

✓ But I think feedback from people who read what I type helps me correct my typing.

'Feedback' is uncountable, not 'feedbacks'. Use present simple for habitual truth: 'who read what I type helps me...' Also use infinitive 'helps me correct' instead of 'with correcting.'

Present tense issue

× Uh, for example, I have a teacher, uh, who reads and evaluates my essays.

✓ For example, I have a teacher who reads and evaluates my essays.

Sentence is fine grammatically; remove fillers. Present simple describes routine action.

Future tense issue

× Therefore, when I send an essay written by me to him, he will make my mistakes conspicuous by underlining them and.

✓ Therefore, when I send him an essay I have written, he underlines my mistakes to make them conspicuous.

Use present simple for habitual actions ('he underlines'). Rephrase to 'an essay I have written' (present perfect) or 'an essay I wrote'. Remove trailing 'and.' Keep clear verb placement.
