Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Ví dụ: I prefer handwriting. I find it faster for taking notes and my handwriting is neat, so I rarely need to rewrite things. For example, when I study, I can jot down ideas quickly and keep them organized.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and remove fillers and repetition. Use correct collocations ("use a laptop keyboard" not "prefer to laptop keyboard") and one supporting detail about when or why you use it.
Ví dụ: I use my laptop keyboard every day. I usually type on it in the evenings when I study or chat with friends because it is portable and convenient.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Clarify the time reference and correct word choice ("scared" is incorrect here). Start with a time phrase and explain briefly who taught you and how that helped. Avoid vague ending like "anything."
Ví dụ: I learned to type when I was ten, taught by my parents. They showed me basic finger placement and gave me daily practice, so now I can type fairly quickly.
How do you improve your typing?

× I have my personal laptop so I always prefer to laptop keyboard everyday when whenever I am free.
✓ I have my personal laptop, so I always prefer to use the laptop keyboard every day when I am free.
The sentence omits the verb 'use' and misuses the article with 'laptop keyboard'. Also 'everyday' should be 'every day' (adverb). The corrected sentence adds the verb 'use', inserts the definite article 'the' before 'laptop keyboard', changes 'everyday' to 'every day', removes the redundant 'whenever', and adds commas for clarity. Suggestion: include necessary verbs and choose the correct article; use 'every day' for frequency.
× So that time I'll type uh, tap type on my laptop.
✓ At that time I'll type on my laptop.
The phrase 'tap type' is incorrect and redundant; 'At that time' is a clearer time expression than 'So that time'. The contraction 'I'll' fits future intent. Suggestion: Use a single verb form (type) and a clear time expression.
× When I was scared, I learned from my parents how to type on a keyboard, so now I can easily type anything on it.
✓ When I was a child, I learned from my parents how to type on a keyboard, so now I can easily type anything on it.
'When I was scared' is unlikely in context and probably a wrong word choice; it causes a meaning error rather than strict grammar. Changing to 'When I was a child' makes sense and keeps the past tense 'learned' consistent with the time frame. Suggestion: choose time expressions that match intended meaning.
× I always prefer handwriting because my handwriting is very good, so I can write easily.
✓ I always prefer handwriting because my handwriting is very good, so I can write easily.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable. 'Prefer' in present simple correctly expresses a habitual preference. No changes needed.
× With the assistance of my parents, I did typing every day, so that's why I improve my typing.
✓ With the assistance of my parents, I practiced typing every day, so I improved my typing.
'Did typing' is unnatural; use 'practiced typing' for habitual past action. The clause 'so that's why I improve my typing' mixes past practice with present improvement; use past 'improved' to match the completed practice. Suggestion: match tense across clauses and use natural collocations like 'practice typing'.
