How do you improve your typing?
Candidato
Well, let me think about it. I actually didn't improve my typing on purpose because I busy with my work, so it means I need to type every day. Therefore, I think frequent practice can improve our typing skills.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Improve grammar and conciseness: start with a clear topic sentence, correct articles and noun forms, and avoid repetition. Use one or two supporting details with linking words. For example, say you prefer typing for speed and handwriting for a personal feel, and give a brief specific example for each.
Exemplo: I usually prefer typing because it’s faster and more efficient for emails and reports. However, I like handwriting when I write cards or personal notes because it feels more personal and unique.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Pontuação: 48.0Sugestão: Clarify meaning and avoid filler words. Give a clear topic sentence (yes/no + device), explain why briefly, and correct vocabulary (e.g., 'white-collar' if meant). Replace unclear phrases and fix grammar. Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, I type on a laptop every day because my job requires me to work remotely. Despite this, I prefer handwriting for personal notes because handwritten messages feel more sincere.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Use past tense correctly and a concise structure: state the time clearly, then give one supporting detail about the learning context or feeling. Remove hesitations and unnecessary clauses.
Exemplo: I learned to type when I was about 12 in a school computer class. I remember being excited because it made using a computer much easier.
How do you improve your typing?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Be direct and specific about methods. Start with a clear statement about what you do (or would do) to improve, then give one or two concrete methods (e.g., online typing tutors, timed practice, correct posture). Avoid vague generalizations and tense errors.
Exemplo: I improve my typing mainly through daily use at work, but I also practice with online typing exercises for 10–15 minutes a day to increase speed and accuracy.
× For example, I prefer typing when I'm busy with my work because typing is a much quicker and easier for writing emails or our reports.
✓ For example, I prefer typing when I'm busy with my work because typing is much quicker and easier for writing emails or our reports.
The error is the incorrect use of the article 'a' before the adjectives 'much quicker and easier'. When comparing speed or ease, use 'much' directly with the comparative adjective without an indefinite article. Remove 'a' to make the sentence grammatically correct and natural.
× But other times I prefer handwriting because it's personal touch and uniques of handwriting.
✓ But other times I prefer handwriting because it's a personal touch and the uniqueness of handwriting.
Errors: missing article 'a' before 'personal touch' and incorrect form 'uniques'. Use the noun 'uniqueness' to express the quality. Also add 'the' before 'uniqueness' to specify this particular quality. This fixes noun and article usage.
× Uh, yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm, umm. White corner, which means I need to use my laptop to work, uh each day.
✓ Uh, yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I work in a White Corner position, which means I need to use my laptop each day.
Original sentence is fragmented and contains unclear phrase 'White corner'. Recast the clause to a noun phrase 'work in a White Corner position' and remove the extra 'to work' repetition and filler words for clarity and grammatical structure. This yields a coherent cause-and-effect sentence.
× But I still prefer to handwriting because it fails personal attach and units of handwriting.
✓ But I still prefer handwriting because it has a personal touch and the unique quality of handwriting.
Errors: incorrect infinitive 'to handwriting' (should be noun 'handwriting'), wrong verb 'fails' and misspelled nouns 'attach' and 'units'. Replace with 'has a personal touch' and 'the unique quality' to convey the intended meaning. This corrects verb choice and noun forms.
× I think I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in my 12 years old, which I had a computer class in my school and the first time I started to use a keyboard made me feel amazing.
✓ I think I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was 12 years old, because I had a computer class at my school, and the first time I used a keyboard I felt amazing.
Errors: incorrect preposition 'in' before age (should be 'when I was 12 years old' or 'when I was 12'), awkward clause order, and tense/verb choice 'started to use' is wordy. Use simple past 'used' and 'felt' to match past-time reference and change 'in my school' to 'at my school' for correct preposition.
× I actually didn't improve my typing on purpose because I busy with my work, so it means I need to type every day.
✓ I actually haven't improved my typing on purpose because I'm busy with my work, so I need to type every day.
Errors: tense inconsistency and missing auxiliary. 'Didn't improve' (simple past) conflicts with ongoing situation; better to use present perfect 'haven't improved' to indicate up to now. Also missing 'I'm' before 'busy' to form correct present continuous. This aligns tense with the current ongoing state.
× Therefore, I think frequent practice can improve our typing skills.
✓ Therefore, I think frequent practice can improve my typing skills.
Error: incorrect use of pronoun 'our' when referring to the student's own skills. Use 'my' to match the speaker. This fixes pronoun agreement and keeps the sentence consistent in perspective.
