Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
Well, I would say it really depends on the purposes. You know, whenever I taking some notes for my final exam, I would prefer handwriting because it helps me to retain the information better. But when it comes to something like just for restoring the information then it will be typing on the laptop.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

× Well, I would say it really depends on the purposes.
✓ Well, I would say it really depends on the purpose.
The plural 'purposes' is awkward here; 'depends on the purpose' or 'depends on the purpose(s)' is clearer. This is primarily an issue with noun choice rather than verb tense, but falls under present tense/context because the speaker uses 'depends' (present tense) with an inappropriate noun form. Use a singular 'purpose' when referring to the general reason or use 'what the purpose is'. Suggestion: say 'depends on the purpose' or 'depends on what I'm doing.'
× You know, whenever I taking some notes for my final exam, I would prefer handwriting because it helps me to retain the information better.
✓ You know, whenever I take some notes for my final exam, I prefer handwriting because it helps me retain the information better.
The verb 'taking' is incorrect after 'whenever I' — the base form 'take' is required for simple present used to state habitual actions. Also 'would prefer' is inconsistent with a habitual present; use 'prefer'. Remove the unnecessary 'to' after 'helps me' for correct collocation. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions: 'whenever I take... I prefer... it helps me retain...'. (Problem type: incorrect use of present participle.)
× But when it comes to something like just for restoring the information then it will be typing on the laptop.
✓ But when it comes to something like just storing information, then I will type on the laptop.
'Restoring the information' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'store' for saving information. 'Typing on the laptop' should be 'I will type on the laptop' to include the subject and match tense. The preposition 'on' is acceptable, but sentence needed rephrasing for natural usage. Suggestion: use 'storing information' and add subject 'I' with correct verb form.
× Yes, I often type on a laptop keyboard every day because you know, I'm preparing for a really important exam that involves typing.
✓ Yes, I often type on a laptop keyboard every day because, you know, I'm preparing for a really important exam that involves typing.
This sentence is mostly correct; only punctuation and minor style adjustments needed. The present progressive 'I'm preparing' correctly describes an ongoing action. Ensure commas for natural speech. No major grammar change required; keep present tenses consistent. (No other listed error types apply.)
× So I often practice with time, exercise to improve my accuracy and also speed so you can get a better score in my test.
✓ So I often practice timed exercises to improve my accuracy and speed so I can get a better score on my test.
Original sentence has incorrect noun phrases ('practice with time, exercise') and inconsistent pronouns ('you' vs 'my'). 'Timed exercises' is the correct compound noun. Use 'so I can get a better score on my test' to match the speaker. This fixes sentence structure and pronoun reference. Suggestion: use 'timed exercises' and keep subject consistent.
× Actually, I think I used to learn how to type properly in my secondary school, but at that time I just don't really take it took it seriously.
✓ Actually, I learned how to type properly in secondary school, but at that time I didn't really take it seriously.
'Used to learn' is awkward; use simple past 'learned' for a completed past action. The clause 'I just don't really take it took it seriously' mixes present and past and duplicates 'took'; correct is past negative 'didn't really take it seriously'. Use past tense consistently. Suggestion: use simple past for past events: 'I learned... I didn't really take it seriously.'
× So I would say I took it seriously in about two months ago when I had I started preparing for the exam.
✓ So I would say I started taking it seriously about two months ago when I began preparing for the exam.
Mixes conditional 'would say' with incorrect past forms and redundancy 'had I started'. Use simple past 'started' and 'began' with 'about two months ago'. 'Started taking it seriously' is the natural phrasing. Ensure no extra auxiliary 'had' is used. Suggestion: 'I started taking it seriously about two months ago when I began preparing.'
× Well honestly I all this day I often use an really versatile app that can help me both improving my accuracy, I mean that the finger position and also my speed due to timed exercise.
✓ Well honestly, nowadays I often use a really versatile app that can help me improve both my accuracy — I mean finger position — and my speed through timed exercises.
Original has pronoun/time phrase confusion 'I all this day' (incorrect). Use 'nowadays' or 'these days'. 'An really' should be 'a really'. 'Help me both improving' is incorrect; after 'help' use the base form 'improve' or 'help me to improve'. 'I mean that the finger position' is awkward; 'I mean finger position' is clearer. 'Due to timed exercise' is better as 'through timed exercises'. Fix pronouns, articles, verb form and phrasing. Suggestion: 'nowadays I often use a really versatile app that helps me improve both my accuracy (finger position) and my speed with timed exercises.'
