Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Pontuação: 62.0Sugestão: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons with linking words, and avoid repetition. Also correct small grammar (use "because" not "'cause") and use varied vocabulary (e.g., "penmanship" or "handwriting style").
Exemplo: I prefer handwriting because I enjoy the personal touch of my penmanship. Moreover, many people have complimented my neat handwriting, which motivates me to write by hand when I can.

× I prefer handwriting 'cause I have a good handwriting and a lot of people praised me about it and I enjoyed that.
✓ I prefer handwriting because I have good handwriting, and a lot of people have praised me for it, which I enjoy.
Used pronoun 'me' with 'praised' is acceptable but 'praised me about it' is unidiomatic; 'for it' is correct. Also unnecessary article 'a' before 'good handwriting' (uncountable), and tense consistency: 'praised' should be present perfect 'have praised' to show experience up to now; 'enjoyed' -> 'enjoy' for present state. Use 'because' instead of colloquial ''cause'. Suggestions: remove 'a' before 'good handwriting', replace ''cause' with 'because', use present perfect for experiences and 'enjoy' for ongoing feeling.
× Yes I do. I am working in a shoe shop and we have, uh, paperwork have to do in the computer so I have to, you know, type in our sale.
✓ Yes, I do. I work in a shoe shop, and we have paperwork to do on the computer, so I have to type our sales into it.
Tense and verb forms: 'I am working' can be simple present 'I work' for habitual action. 'paperwork have to do' is incorrect subject-verb and structure; use 'we have paperwork to do'. Preposition: use 'on the computer' not 'in the computer'. 'type in our sale' -> 'type our sales into it' or 'enter our sales'. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestions: use simple present for routine, correct clause order 'have paperwork to do', use 'on the computer', and correct object phrasing.
× Oh, I remember it was seeing my elementary school when we were in 6th grade.
✓ Oh, I remember it was in elementary school when we were in sixth grade.
Unnecessary verb 'seeing' is incorrect; use preposition 'in' to indicate time/place. Also '6th' should be written 'sixth' in formal speech. Keep past reference consistent: 'I remember it was in elementary school' describes a memory. Suggestions: remove extra verbs, use 'in elementary school' and spell ordinal numbers in words.
× We have we had to learn how to use a computer 'cause he made us competitive in the future.
✓ We had to learn how to use a computer because it would make us more competitive in the future.
Redundant 'we have we had' is incorrect; choose past tense 'had to' for obligation in the past. Pronoun 'he' is unclear; likely 'it' or 'this' (the school) made us competitive. Also 'made us competitive in the future' mixes past and future; use 'would make us more competitive in the future'. Replace ''cause' with 'because'. Suggestions: remove redundancy, clarify subject, and use correct tense sequence with 'would' for future-in-the-past.
× To be honest, I don't really try to, uh, improve my typing. I just, umm, type regularly, like everyday. So yeah, I just improve that by usual.
✓ To be honest, I don't actively try to improve my typing. I just type regularly, like every day. So yeah, I improve it through regular practice.
'don't really try to' is okay but 'try to, uh, improve' is informal; 'actively' clarifies. 'everyday' (adjective) should be two words 'every day' for the adverbial phrase. 'I just improve that by usual' is ungrammatical; use 'I improve it through regular practice' or 'by practicing regularly'. Pronoun 'that' is vague; use 'it' referring to 'typing'. Suggestions: use 'every day' for frequency, replace 'by usual' with 'through regular practice' and use clearer adverb 'actively' if needed.
