× Oh, I'm kind of old school so I prefer to write and I think writing can help me to concentrate more and I will care about the styles I write.
✓ Oh, I'm kind of old-school, so I prefer writing, and I think writing helps me concentrate more; I also care about my writing style.
Pronoun and wording issues: 'old school' should be hyphenated as an adjective (old-school). 'Prefer to write' is acceptable but 'prefer writing' is more natural here. 'Writing can help me to concentrate more' - 'help me concentrate' omits unnecessary to. 'I will care about the styles I write' uses awkward pronoun/object and tense; 'my writing style' is the correct noun phrase. Also combine clauses and adjust verbs for natural present tense. (Grammar problem type ID: 12)
× Yes, uh, that just because this is for job, Yes.
✓ Yes, uh, that's just because it's for a job.
Incorrect pronoun and article use: 'that just because' should be contracted to 'that's just because'. 'this is for job' needs the indefinite article 'a' and a pronoun contraction 'it's'. Also remove the repeated 'Yes'. (Grammar problem type ID: 12)
× In my daily life I usually use uh, desktop to type the documents instead of writing, but I sometimes use paper and pen to draw some sketch.
✓ In my daily life I usually use a desktop to type documents instead of writing, but I sometimes use paper and a pen to draw sketches.
Article and count noun errors: 'desktop' requires the article 'a'. 'Type the documents' is overly specific; 'type documents' is more natural. 'Paper and pen' should be 'paper and a pen' and 'draw some sketch' should be pluralized to 'draw sketches' or 'make a sketch'. Correct use of articles and pluralization. (Grammar problem type ID: 22)
× Wow, that's quite early. Before I remember that was about what I was seven years old.
✓ Wow, that was quite early. I remember it was when I was about seven years old.
Tense and word order errors: 'Before I remember' is incorrect; use past simple 'I remember' referring to a past time. 'That was about what I was seven years old' is ungrammatical; correct structure is 'I was about seven years old' or 'when I was about seven'. Maintain past tense consistency. (Grammar problem type ID: 5)
× Uh, there have, there was a, a computer class I have to take.
✓ Uh, there was a computer class I had to take.
Incorrect use of 'there' and verb forms: mixing 'there have' and 'there was' is wrong. Use 'there was' for a past existence. 'I have to take' should be past 'I had to take' to match the past time frame. (Grammar problem type ID: 3)
× Oh, I remembers that is when I need to test the English test and the the N say test.
✓ Oh, I remember that was when I needed to take the English test and the N-say test.
Subject-verb agreement and tense: 'I remembers' is incorrect; for first person singular use 'I remember'. The time reference is past, so 'is when I need' should be 'was when I needed'. Also 'test the English test' is redundant; use 'take the English test'. (Grammar problem type ID: 2)
× So I practice to how to use keyboard more quickly and frequently I just practice about two months and the other time just casually to use the keyboard.
✓ So I practiced how to use the keyboard more quickly and frequently; I practiced intensively for about two months and otherwise used the keyboard casually.
Incorrect verb forms and infinitive usage: 'practice to how to use' is wrong; use 'practiced how to use' or 'practiced using'. Tense should be past 'practiced'. Add articles 'the keyboard'. Clarify duration with 'for about two months' and use parallel verbs 'practiced' and 'used'. (Grammar problem type ID: 8)
