Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Be concise and grammatically accurate.

× I prefer handwriting than typing because handwriting is where we can show our emotion and we can write it very fast than compared to typing.
✓ I prefer handwriting to typing because handwriting is where we can show our emotions and we can write much faster than when we type.
Use 'prefer X to Y' not 'prefer X than Y'. Use plural 'emotions' to match general meaning. Use comparative 'much faster' and the correct comparative structure 'than when we type' or 'than typing' rather than 'than compared to typing'. Suggestion: Use 'prefer A to B', pluralize general nouns, and use clear comparative structures.
× Typing is something solid and it is completely based on a computer system.
✓ Typing is more mechanical and is completely based on computer systems.
The adjective 'solid' is odd here; 'mechanical' or 'digital' fits better. Use plural 'computer systems' or 'a computer system' consistently. Also avoid repeating 'it' unnecessarily. Suggestion: Choose appropriate adjectives and ensure noun/pronoun consistency.
× Typing it's does not have so much of emotion but whereas handwriting as dispute accuracy everything.
✓ Typing does not have much emotion, whereas handwriting can show personality and is less precise in terms of accuracy.
Remove the contraction error 'it's does'. Use 'does not have much emotion'. The original phrase 'as dispute accuracy everything' is unclear; rewrite to convey intended contrast: handwriting shows personality but may be less accurate. Ensure sentence clarity and correct conjunction use. Suggestion: Avoid incorrect contractions and rewrite unclear fragments into clear clauses.
× I usually type on a laptop than compared to a desk because it's more convenient and easy to carry and it's a travel friendly.
✓ I usually type on a laptop rather than at a desktop because it's more convenient and easy to carry, and it's travel-friendly.
Use 'rather than' or 'instead of' for contrasts and 'at a desktop' or 'on a desktop' consistently. 'Desk' is incorrect if meaning 'desktop computer'. Hyphenate 'travel-friendly' and use consistent subject references ('it' for laptop). Suggestion: Use 'rather than' for comparisons and hyphenate compound adjectives.
× I only use desktop at home when I need a large screen for designs and for gaming etcetera.
✓ I only use a desktop at home when I need a large screen for design work or for gaming, etc.
Add the article 'a' before 'desktop'. Use 'design work' or 'designs' depending on meaning; 'design work' sounds more natural here. Use 'etc.' with a period and avoid repeating 'for'. Suggestion: Add necessary articles and choose the correct noun form.
× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in second grade.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in second grade.
Both 'learned how to type' and 'learned to type' are acceptable, but 'learned to type' is more concise. Keep past tense 'learned' to match the time reference. Suggestion: Use concise infinitive forms after 'learned'.
× I usually had a computer class where they used to teach me how to type.
✓ I had a computer class where they taught us how to type.
Use simple past 'taught' rather than 'used to teach me' for a completed school routine. Match pronoun: 'us' fits better if the class was shared. Avoid 'usually had' which conflicts with a specific past time. Suggestion: Use simple past for past routines and match subject/pronoun.
× What are the basic things of typing and what are the essential needs of typing and how we have to place our fingers on the keyboard.
✓ They taught us the basics of typing, the essential requirements, and how to place our fingers on the keyboard.
The original is a question but context indicates the student is reporting what was taught. Convert to a clear declarative list. Use 'basics of typing' and 'how to place our fingers'. Suggestion: Keep sentence structure consistent with context (reporting vs asking) and use parallel list items.
× The main thing that helped me while learning this typing is patience and accurate.
✓ The main things that helped me while learning to type were patience and accuracy.
Use plural 'things' to match two nouns, and use noun 'accuracy' rather than adjective 'accurate'. Match tense: 'were' for past. Use 'learning to type' not 'learning this typing'. Suggestion: Use parallel noun forms and correct verb agreement.
× The main thing which helps me to improve typing is a typing app which helps me to type faster, which helps me to type correct and accurate sentences and helps me to place the fingers exactly at this correct point.
✓ The main thing that helps me improve my typing is a typing app that helps me type faster, write correct and accurate sentences, and place my fingers in the right positions.
Use 'helps me improve my typing' rather than 'helps me to improve typing'. Avoid repetitive 'which helps'. Use 'write correct and accurate sentences' and 'place my fingers in the right positions'. Remove 'the' before 'fingers' and 'this correct point' which is vague. Suggestion: Reduce repetition, use possessive 'my', and use clear noun phrases.
× Uh, my teacher has already shown me uh, the placement where we have to keep our hands, uh, especially when it comes to typing.
✓ My teacher has already shown me the hand placement we should use, especially for typing.
This sentence is mostly correct but verbose. 'Has already shown me' (present perfect) is acceptable if the action has relevance now. Simplify by removing filler 'uh' and condensing the clause: 'hand placement we should use'. Suggestion: Remove filler words, simplify clauses, and keep tense consistent.
