When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Probably when I was a primary school student at the age of 12 or 13. At that time, most of my peers already had a, uh, electronic device such as iPad or laptop, so it was natural to connect with them online through typing.

I would say practice makes perfect. The ultimate trick is to use it everyday and I also download typing apps or games to help increase my speed and accuracy.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: Reduce hesitations and repetition, make the structure clearer with a concise topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words (e.g., 'but', 'however', 'so') correctly and avoid repeating words ("it's it"). Also give a brief specific example to make the answer more vivid.
Ejemplo: I prefer typing for professional tasks but handwriting for personal messages. For example, at work I type reports and emails because it's faster and easier to edit, but I handwrite thank-you cards for family to make them feel more personal.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Avoid repetitions and unfinished sentences. Start with a clear topic sentence stating which you use more, then give one concise reason and a contrasting detail introduced by a linking word (e.g., 'however' or 'but'). Finish the sentence completely.
Ejemplo: I mostly type on a desktop at work because my cubicle is equipped with one. However, in the evenings I prefer my laptop since I can use it comfortably around the house.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: Remove fillers like 'probably' and 'uh' and be more precise with tense and phrasing. Provide a brief linking phrase to connect the time with the reason, and avoid contradictory terms (primary school vs age 12 or 13). Clarify the exact time and give a short supporting detail.
Ejemplo: I learned to type around age 12 or 13, when I was in middle school. At that time many classmates had tablets and laptops, so typing became an essential way to communicate online.
How do you improve your typing?
Puntuación: 82.0Sugerencia: Good concise answer—improve by adding a specific routine or measurable detail and correct small errors ('everyday' should be 'every day' here). Use a linking word ('also' is fine) and give a short example of an app or exercise.
Ejemplo: I improve my typing by practicing every day and using typing apps. For example, I use a free online tutor like TypingClub for 15 minutes daily and play accuracy games to increase both speed and precision.
× If I'm at work, I prefer typing because it's it helps with my productivity and performance.
✓ If I'm at work, I prefer typing because it helps with my productivity and performance.
The sentence contains a redundant pronoun 'it' placed before 'helps', causing incorrect adverb/phrase placement and redundancy. Remove the extra 'it' so the verb 'helps' correctly follows the subject 'it' that refers to typing. Suggestion: say 'because it helps' or restructure to 'because typing helps'.
× However, when it comes to personal emotions, I would like to write a letter or gift cards to my family and friends to express my gratitude.
✓ However, when it comes to personal matters, I like to write letters or give cards to my family and friends to express my gratitude.
The phrase 'personal emotions' is awkward and 'would like to' here can be simplified to 'like to' for habitual preference. 'Write a letter or gift cards' mixes verbs and objects incorrectly; 'give cards' or 'send cards' is appropriate. Also change singular 'a letter' to plural 'letters' to match general preference. Suggestion: use natural collocations like 'personal matters' and 'give cards' or 'send cards'.
× Most of the time I use a desktop keyboard to type because it it is provided in my cubicle.
✓ Most of the time I use a desktop keyboard to type because it is provided in my cubicle.
There is a duplicated 'it' causing redundancy and incorrect placement. Remove the extra 'it' so the clause reads smoothly. Also consider 'because one is provided' or 'because one is provided in my cubicle' for clarity.
× However, after work I would love to use a laptop because I can carry it around from living room to the bedroom. It's.
✓ However, after work I prefer to use a laptop because I can carry it around from the living room to the bedroom.
'I would love to use' is acceptable but 'prefer to use' better matches contrast with 'Most of the time'. The phrase 'from living room to the bedroom' needs articles: 'the living room' and 'the bedroom'. The trailing 'It's.' is a sentence fragment and should be removed. Suggestion: ensure complete sentences and include definite articles for specific rooms.
× Probably when I was a primary school student at the age of 12 or 13.
✓ I probably learned to type when I was a primary school student, at the age of 12 or 13.
Original is a sentence fragment lacking a main verb; tense context indicates past tense 'learned'. Add 'I probably learned to type' to form a complete past-tense sentence. Suggestion: always include the subject and past-tense verb when describing past events.
× At that time, most of my peers already had a, uh, electronic device such as iPad or laptop, so it was natural to connect with them online through typing.
✓ At that time, most of my peers already had electronic devices such as an iPad or a laptop, so it was natural to connect with them online by typing.
Use plural 'devices' to match 'most of my peers'. Include articles 'an iPad' and 'a laptop'. Remove filler 'a, uh,'. Use 'by typing' rather than 'through typing' for natural collocation. Suggestion: keep nouns plural when referring to multiple people and include appropriate articles.
× I would say practice makes perfect.
✓ I would say practice makes perfect.
This sentence is grammatically correct; present simple 'makes' is appropriate for a general truth. No change needed.
× The ultimate trick is to use it everyday and I also download typing apps or games to help increase my speed and accuracy.
✓ The ultimate trick is to use it every day, and I also download typing apps or games to help increase my speed and accuracy.
Two issues: 'everyday' (adjective) vs 'every day' (adverbial phrase). Here use 'every day'. Add a comma before the conjunction for clarity. Tenses are okay: 'is' and 'download' express habitual actions. Suggestion: use 'every day' when meaning 'each day'.
