Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidato
I prefer typing for most office task because I use a special software on my PC that keeps my data protected and offers tools for facial analysis and posterior correction. However, I prefer handwriting when I need to brainstorm or take quick notes because writing by hand helps me remember idea better.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidato
Most of the time I type on desktop during weekdays because I work in my office. When I'm relaxing at home on weekends and need to do some creative work or read, I use my laptop instead.

How do you improve your typing?
Candidato
Initially I practice typing on my own by copying text, but my speed stayed quite slow. Then I took formal lesson from a typing instructor who taught me proper finger placement and regular drills, and after a few weeks my speed and accuracy improved significantly. I also used a typing app and a tutor program, and my son helped me track my progress.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: Be more natural and concise: correct grammar (plural/singular, articles), avoid awkward phrases ("posterior correction", "facial analysis" unless relevant) and small word-choice errors, and add one clear linking word. Limit to 3–4 sentences and include a clearer topic sentence plus specific reasons.
Ejemplo: I usually prefer typing for office work because my computer has secure software and useful editing tools. However, I like handwriting when I brainstorm or take quick notes because writing by hand helps me remember ideas better and makes it easier to sketch concepts quickly.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Puntuación: 88.0Sugerencia: Good structure and clear reasons. Improve fluency by using linking words and correcting small article use ("a desktop"), and vary vocabulary slightly to sound more natural. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Ejemplo: I usually type on a desktop computer during the week because I work in my office. On weekends, however, I prefer my laptop for creative tasks or reading since it’s more portable and comfortable on the couch.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: Organize answer with a clear timeline and avoid exaggerations ("within some days" feels unrealistic). Fix grammar and use linking words to show sequence ("at first", "then"). Keep to 3–4 sentences and give one concrete detail about practice time or results.
Ejemplo: I started learning to type in my final year at university when my father gave me a laptop. At first it was difficult, so I took formal lessons and used a typing tutor app. After several weeks of daily practice I noticed a clear improvement in both speed and accuracy.
How do you improve your typing?
Puntuación: 84.0Sugerencia: Good content and sequence. Correct small grammar issues ("practice"→"practised/practice" tense, "lesson"→"lessons"), combine overlapping phrases to avoid redundancy, and add a specific measurable result (e.g., WPM improvement) to make it more concrete.
Ejemplo: I first practised by copying text, but my speed remained slow. Then I took lessons with an instructor who taught proper finger placement and drills; after a few weeks of daily practice I improved noticeably. I also used a typing app to track my progress, and my son helped me record my words-per-minute increases.
× 'I prefer typing for most office task because I use a special software on my PC that keeps my data protected and offers tools for facial analysis and posterior correction.'
✓ 'I prefer typing for most office tasks because I use special software on my PC that keeps my data protected and offers tools for facial analysis and posterior correction.'
'office task' is singular but 'most' requires a plural noun; use 'office tasks'. 'a special software' is incorrect because 'software' is an uncountable noun and does not take an indefinite article; use 'special software' or 'a special program'. Suggestion: use plural with quantifiers (most + plural) and treat uncountable nouns without 'a'.
× 'writing by hand helps me remember idea better.'
✓ 'writing by hand helps me remember ideas better.'
'idea' should be plural 'ideas' because 'remember' here refers generally to multiple thoughts or information; also 'better' modifies the verb correctly. Suggestion: use plural for general, countable concepts when referring to them in general statements.'
× 'Most of the time I type on desktop during weekdays because I work in my office.'
✓ 'Most of the time I type on a desktop during weekdays because I work in my office.'
'desktop' is a countable noun and needs an article when used singularly; use 'a desktop' or 'the desktop' depending on context. Suggestion: include appropriate articles with singular countable nouns.'
× 'During my graduation year, my father gave me a laptop and I began learning to type on it.'
✓ 'During my graduation year, my father gave me a laptop and I began to learn to type on it.'
'began learning' is acceptable, but with 'began' followed by another verb, the infinitive 'to learn' is clearer in this context; both forms are possible. Suggestion: prefer 'began to learn' for formality and clarity in narratives.'
× 'At first it was difficult, so I decided to take formal lessons and also downloaded a typing tutor app to practice regularly and within some days I got amazing improvement in my speed and accuracy.'
✓ 'At first it was difficult, so I decided to take formal lessons and also downloaded a typing tutor app to practice regularly, and within a few days I had an amazing improvement in my speed and accuracy.'
'within some days' is unnatural; use 'within a few days'. 'I got amazing improvement' is awkward; use 'I had an amazing improvement' or better 'I made amazing improvements' or 'my speed and accuracy improved dramatically'. Suggestion: use standard time expressions and collocations for improvement.'
× 'Initially I practice typing on my own by copying text, but my speed stayed quite slow.'
✓ 'Initially I practiced typing on my own by copying text, but my speed remained quite slow.'
'Initially' introduces past action, so verb should be past tense 'practiced'. 'stayed' is acceptable but 'remained' is more natural in this context. Suggestion: keep tense consistent in narration and prefer 'remained' for states.'
× 'Then I took formal lesson from a typing instructor who taught me proper finger placement and regular drills, and after a few weeks my speed and accuracy improved significantly.'
✓ 'Then I took formal lessons from a typing instructor who taught me proper finger placement and gave me regular drills, and after a few weeks my speed and accuracy improved significantly.'
'lesson' should be plural 'lessons' to match 'took' and typical usage. Also 'taught me proper finger placement and regular drills' is slightly awkward; use 'gave me regular drills' or 'had me practice regular drills'. Suggestion: use plural for repeated classes and choose verbs that collocate naturally.'
× 'I also used a typing app and a tutor program, and my son helped me track my progress.'
✓ 'I also used a typing app and a tutor program, and my son helped me track my progress.'
'my son helped me track my progress' is grammatically correct; no change needed. Included here to indicate it meets the allowed list but has no error per given types.'
