Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 58.0建议: Cần sửa ngữ pháp, cách dùng giới từ và số nhiều/ít; câu trả lời nên ngắn gọn, tự nhiên và có tối đa 4-5 câu. Nên mở đầu bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, rồi giải thích cụ thể bằng một hoặc hai chi tiết (ví dụ: giúp ghi nhớ, dễ tập trung). Tránh lỗi như “prefer handwriting than” (phải là “prefer handwriting to”), “informations” (không đếm được) và “it is easily for me” (sai trật tự từ).
示例: I prefer handwriting to typing. Writing notes by hand helps me understand and remember information better because the physical act of writing makes me focus more. For example, when I take lecture notes, I can recall concepts more easily later.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 62.0建议: Cần chỉnh lại trật tự từ, dùng thì và liên từ phù hợp để câu mạch lạc. Bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề rõ ràng (I use a laptop), rồi nêu lý do ngắn gọn và ví dụ cụ thể. Tránh lặp từ và cấu trúc như “it is easy more for me to use it is”.
示例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I only own a laptop and it is more convenient to carry. For example, when I work in a café I can easily take it out and start working immediately.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

示例: I learned to type when I was in fourth grade because we had a typing exam at school. My parents also helped me practise, which made me more confident.
How do you improve your typing?
分数: 45.0建议: Cần rõ ràng và mạch lạc: nêu phương pháp cụ thể và chuỗi sự kiện theo thứ tự hợp lý. Sửa từ vựng sai (“timing skill” → “typing speed/skills”), lỗi ngữ pháp và cấu trúc câu. Tránh ngập ngừng và câu không hoàn chỉnh. Nên đưa ra chi tiết như loại trò chơi hoặc cách luyện tập (typing tutor, online games).
示例: I improved my typing speed in seventh grade during the COVID-19 lockdown. Since I had more free time, I practised regularly using online typing games and typing tutor websites, which helped me increase both speed and accuracy.
× I prefer handwriting than typing.
✓ I prefer handwriting to typing.
Use 'prefer' with 'to' when comparing two things (prefer A to B). The preposition 'than' is used with comparative adjectives, not with 'prefer'. Suggestion: Practice sentences like 'I prefer coffee to tea.' to remember the correct preposition.
× This is because when I write something on my notebooks, I think it is easily for me to understand and to memorize those informations.
✓ This is because when I write something in my notebook, I find it easier to understand and memorize that information.
Errors: 'on my notebooks' should be 'in my notebook' (use 'in' for writing inside a notebook and use singular 'notebook' if referring to personal notebook), 'it is easily' should be 'I find it easier' (adverb/adjective misuse and sentence structure), 'to memorize those informations' should be 'to memorize that information' ('information' is uncountable and does not take plural 'informations'). Suggestion: Remember 'information' is uncountable and use 'in' with 'notebook'; use 'easier' as adjective with 'find'.
× It would be on laptop keyboard because I only have a laptop and having a laptop is more convenient as I can bring it when I am out.
✓ It would be a laptop keyboard because I only have a laptop, and having a laptop is more convenient since I can bring it when I am out.
Minor article and connector errors: use 'a laptop keyboard' not 'on laptop keyboard'. 'Because' could be fine but 'since' or 'as' fits spoken explanation. Also include a comma before 'and'. Suggestion: Use articles for countable nouns 'a laptop' and link clauses clearly.
× For example when I am in the cafe it is easy more for me to use it is.
✓ For example, when I am in the cafe it is easier for me to use.
Errors: 'easy more' is incorrect word order; correct comparative is 'easier'. Remove the redundant ending 'is'. Add a comma after 'For example'. Suggestion: Use 'easier' for comparisons and avoid redundant words.
× It's worse, when I were in grade 4 I started to learn how to tie because I had a typing exam at school.
✓ It's worse: when I was in grade 4 I started to learn how to type because I had a typing exam at school.
Errors: 'were' should be 'was' (subject-verb agreement for singular 'I' in past tense), 'tie' should be 'type' (word choice). 'It's worse' is odd in context but kept as speaker phrasing; could be 'Worse, when...' or 'It was worse' depending on intended meaning. Suggestion: Use 'was' with 'I' in past tense and check homophones like 'type' vs 'tie'.
× Additionally, my mom and my dad helped me to study that.
✓ Additionally, my mom and dad helped me study.
Redundant 'my' before 'dad' is unnatural; 'helped me to study' is acceptable but 'helped me study' is more natural. 'That' is unnecessary and vague here. Suggestion: Omit repeated possessive and unnecessary 'that' after 'study'.
× It is embarrassing to admit that I improved my timing skill from playing games, uh, when I was in grade 7.
✓ It is embarrassing to admit that I improved my typing skill from playing games when I was in grade 7.
Likely 'timing' is a wrong word; context implies 'typing skill'. Tense 'improved' is correct. Remove filler 'uh' in written form. Suggestion: Use precise vocabulary ('typing' not 'timing') and avoid fillers in formal responses.
× The world has COVID-19 epidemic, so I have a lot of time and I started to play against it impact and I start to.
✓ During the COVID-19 pandemic, I had a lot of time, so I started playing to improve my typing.
Problems: 'The world has COVID-19 epidemic' is awkward—use 'During the COVID-19 pandemic'. Tense consistency: if referring to past period, use past 'had' and 'started'. 'Play against it impact and I start to' is ungrammatical and unclear—corrected to 'started playing to improve my typing'. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent (past events in past tense), use 'pandemic' and express purpose with 'to' or 'to improve'.
