Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidato
Back then I was really more into handwriting since I don't have the necessary devices to do that. However, as I grew older, type typing really helps me save time. Also, it helps me become more engaged to listening with others while doing the necessary encoding.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidato
I type on both. I type both on desktop and laptop keyboard every day. I type on the laptop mainly for entertainment purposes. Whenever I'm searching for different websites to watch games, I watch video games and daily entertainment and I type on the desktop because I do Office works. I type on different kinds of approval on therapy add-ons.

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidato
It was actually a subject back on 4th grade. Our teachers asked for us to type on a keyboard, first by memorizing the keyboard, letting us write different letters from the keyboard, and then eventually letting us type what was on a really long passage and typing it on a computer.

How do you improve your typing?
Candidato
It will always. Every skill will always improve with constant practice. That's why I improved typing by constantly engaging myself with typing different words, Most especially since I also developed my skills with everyday use of the keyboard.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific reasons with simple linking words. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases (e.g., "type typing", "necessary encoding").
Ejemplo: I prefer typing now because it saves time and is more convenient. For example, I can quickly edit documents and search for information online, which is harder with handwriting.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Puntuación: 56.0Sugerencia: Answer directly and avoid repeating information. Use linking words to contrast uses of each device and be specific about activities. Remove unclear or irrelevant phrases (e.g., last sentence).
Ejemplo: I use both devices every day: I use my laptop for entertainment, like watching video game streams and browsing websites, while I use my desktop for office work and longer typing tasks because it has a full keyboard and better performance.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: Start with a direct time reference, then give concise details in order using linking words (first, then, finally). Avoid wordy or vague phrases like "really long passage."

× Back then I was really more into handwriting since I don't have the necessary devices to do that.
✓ Back then I was really more into handwriting since I didn't have the necessary devices to do it.
Tense inconsistency and pronoun reference: the sentence begins in past tense 'Back then I was' so the clause 'I don't have' should be past tense 'I didn't have'. Also 'to do that' is vague; using 'to do it' refers back to handwriting more naturally. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent when referring to the same time frame.
× However, as I grew older, type typing really helps me save time.
✓ However, as I grew older, typing really helped me save time.
Tense inconsistency: 'as I grew older' is past, so the result clause should match past perspective ('helped'), and 'type typing' is a typo; use 'typing'. Suggestion: match tense across clauses and remove duplicated word.
× Also, it helps me become more engaged to listening with others while doing the necessary encoding.
✓ Also, it helped me become more engaged in listening to others while doing the necessary typing.
Preposition and word choice errors: 'engaged to listening' is incorrect; use 'engaged in listening to others'. Also 'encoding' is an odd choice for typing; use 'typing' or 'transcribing'. Tense adjusted to past to match context. Suggestion: use 'engaged in' + gerund and 'listen to' for correct collocation.
× I type on both. I type both on desktop and laptop keyboard every day.
✓ I type on both desktop and laptop keyboards every day.
Redundant repetition and article/number agreement: combine the two sentences into one concise sentence. 'Laptop keyboard' should be plural 'keyboards' or include articles: 'the desktop and the laptop keyboards'. Suggestion: avoid repetition and ensure nouns agree in number.
× I type on the laptop mainly for entertainment purposes.
✓ I type on my laptop mainly for entertainment purposes.
Article/pronoun choice: 'the laptop' suggests a specific shared laptop; 'my laptop' is clearer to indicate personal device. Suggestion: use possessive when referring to one's own device.
× Whenever I'm searching for different websites to watch games, I watch video games and daily entertainment and I type on the desktop because I do Office works.
✓ When I'm searching websites to watch game videos and other entertainment, I use my laptop; I use the desktop for office work.
Conjunction and word choice: 'Whenever' is acceptable but 'I'm searching for different websites to watch games' is awkward; 'game videos' or 'videos of games' is clearer. 'Daily entertainment and I type on the desktop because I do Office works' is run-on and ungrammatical. 'Office works' should be 'office work'. Also pronouns and device references clarified. Suggestion: split ideas into two clauses and use correct collocations like 'office work' and 'use my laptop'.
× I type on different kinds of approval on therapy add-ons.
✓ I type about different kinds of approvals for therapy add-ons.
Unclear and ungrammatical phrase: original sentence is difficult to interpret. Likely meaning is writing about approvals related to therapy add-ons. Changed to 'I type about different kinds of approvals for therapy add-ons' to make grammatical sense. Suggestion: state the object and preposition clearly ('type about' or 'type documents for'). If intended meaning differs, rephrase with clearer verbs (e.g., 'I type documents approving therapy add-ons').
× It was actually a subject back on 4th grade.
✓ It was actually a subject back in fourth grade.
Preposition and ordinal/format issue: use 'in fourth grade' rather than 'on 4th grade'. 'Back in fourth grade' is the correct idiom. Also write out 'fourth' in formal sentences. Suggestion: use 'in' with grades and spell ordinals in words.
× Our teachers asked for us to type on a keyboard, first by memorizing the keyboard, letting us write different letters from the keyboard, and then eventually letting us type what was on a really long passage and typing it on a computer.
✓ Our teachers asked us to type on a keyboard: first we memorized the keys, then we practiced writing different letters, and eventually we typed a long passage on a computer.
Awkward pronoun and verb constructions: 'asked for us to' should be 'asked us to'. 'Memorizing the keyboard' is better as 'memorized the keys'. Parallel structure improved: use consistent subjects and verbs ('we memorized', 'we practiced', 'we typed'). Suggestion: use direct object 'asked us to' and maintain parallel verb forms.
× It will always. Every skill will always improve with constant practice.
✓ That is always true: every skill improves with constant practice.
Fragment and tense: 'It will always.' is a fragment and unclear. Also present simple 'improves' is better as a general truth rather than future 'will always improve'. Suggestion: state general truths in present simple and avoid sentence fragments.
× That's why I improved typing by constantly engaging myself with typing different words, Most especially since I also developed my skills with everyday use of the keyboard.
✓ That's why I improved my typing by regularly practicing typing different words, especially because I developed my skills through everyday keyboard use.
Capitalization and conjunction errors: 'Most especially' after a comma is awkward; use 'especially because'. Also 'engaging myself with typing different words' is wordy; use 'practicing typing'. Maintain possessive 'my typing'. Suggestion: use concise verbs ('practiced') and proper conjunctions to link reasons.
