Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting reasons using linking words. Avoid tense errors (use present or conditional correctly) and informal contractions. Also refine vocabulary (use "focus" instead of "more concentrate").
Exemplo: I prefer typing for casual messages but handwriting for exams. For example, when I text friends I type because it’s faster and more convenient; however, during tests I write by hand because it helps me focus and remember information better.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Give a direct answer to the question (desktop or laptop) and provide a specific reason. Use accurate vocabulary (avoid "Technics"; use "technology" or "devices") and clearer linking words. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and correct informal language.
Exemplo: I usually type on a laptop every day because I use it for schoolwork and it’s portable. Technology is widespread now, so using a laptop lets me work anywhere and type more quickly.

× 'If I was going to text my friends then I prefer typing.'
✓ 'If I am going to text my friends, then I prefer typing.'
'If I was' is past subjunctive; when expressing a present/future conditional (habitual or general truth) use present tense in the if-clause: 'If I am going to' or better 'If I am going to text my friends, I prefer typing.' Also add a comma after the conditional clause and keep verb forms consistent.'
× 'But if we're talking about having exam or any test, then I prefer handwriting 'cause it makes me more concentrate on what I'm writing.'
✓ 'But if we're talking about having an exam or any test, then I prefer handwriting because it helps me concentrate more on what I'm writing.'
'having exam' needs the indefinite article 'an exam' (article error, ID 22) and 'makes me more concentrate' is ungrammatical: use 'helps me concentrate' or 'makes me concentrate more.' Also replace informal ''cause' with 'because' in formal correction and move 'more' after 'concentrate.' Subject-verb agreement 'it makes me concentrate' is okay but style improved with 'helps.'
× 'If I was going to text my friends then I prefer typing.'
✓ 'If I were going to text my friends, I would prefer typing.'
'If I was' can be corrected to the subjunctive 'If I were' when forming a hypothetical conditional; pair with 'would' in the main clause for consistency: 'If I were going to text my friends, I would prefer typing.' Use this form when the situation is hypothetical rather than a real present/future plan.'
× 'I do type on the keyboard every day 'cause nowadays Technics is widespread and it's faster to record something on that.'
✓ 'I do type on the keyboard every day because nowadays technology is widespread and it's faster to record something on it.'
'Technics' is a wrong word choice; use 'technology.' Also 'on that' is incorrect reference for 'keyboard' or 'device'; use 'on it.' 'Because' is preferred over informal ''cause.'
× 'I do type on the keyboard every day 'cause nowadays Technics is widespread and it's faster to record something on that.'
✓ 'I type on the keyboard every day because technology is widespread nowadays, and it's faster to record something on it.'
'I do type' is not wrong but 'I type' is more natural; reorder adverb 'nowadays' and choose correct noun 'technology.' Ensure pronoun 'it' refers correctly to 'keyboard' or 'device.'
× 'We had this computer classes and we took it once a week and the teacher will train us how to type faster on the keyboard and it really influenced me a lot.'
✓ 'We had these computer classes and we took them once a week, and the teacher trained us how to type faster on the keyboard, and it really influenced me a lot.'
'computer classes' is plural so use 'these' not 'this' (singular/plural issue ID 1). 'We took it' should be 'we took them.' 'The teacher will train us' mixes future with past context; change to past simple 'trained.' Maintain past tense consistently.'
× 'We had this computer classes and we took it once a week and the teacher will train us how to type faster on the keyboard and it really influenced me a lot.'
✓ 'We had these computer classes and we took them once a week, and the teacher trained us how to type faster on the keyboard, and it really influenced me a lot.'
'this computer classes' uses singular demonstrative with plural noun; use 'these computer classes.' Also 'we took it' must match plural 'classes' with 'them.'
× 'I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was in elementary school.'
✓ 'I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was in elementary school.'
'Learned' and 'was' are correct past-tense forms for describing when the learning happened. No grammatical correction needed; keep as is.'
× 'I improve my typing by texting a lot online with my friends and try to fight with people on the Internet cause the the tension makes you types faster and better.'
✓ 'I improve my typing by texting online with my friends and by arguing with people on the Internet because the tension makes you type faster and better.'
'texting a lot online with my friends and try to fight' mixes verb forms; make parallel structure with two gerund phrases: 'texting... and by arguing...' Remove duplicate 'the the.' 'types' should be base form 'type' after modal-like expression 'makes you.' Use 'because' instead of ''cause.'
× 'I improve my typing by texting a lot online with my friends and try to fight with people on the Internet cause the the tension makes you types faster and better.'
✓ 'I improve my typing by texting online a lot with my friends and by arguing with people on the Internet because the tension makes you type faster and better.'
'a lot' placement is better after 'texting online' or after the verb phrase for natural flow. Also ensure parallel structure and correct verb form 'type.'
