Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is slightly repetitive and could be more natural with varied vocabulary and a linking phrase. Keep it concise (under 5 sentences) and add a brief specific example or reason to support your preference.
Example: I prefer typing because it is faster and more convenient for long messages. For example, when I compose emails or reports, I can quickly rearrange sentences and correct errors, which saves time and reduces frustration.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: Good direct response with a concrete example. Improve grammar (articles, prepositions) and flow by using a linking word and polishing phrasing. Keep sentences concise and correct small mistakes.
Example: I usually use a desktop computer because I work in a hospital office and typing is part of my daily duties. For example, I type patient records and medical reports, so I spend several hours at the keyboard every day.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: The answer is acceptable but has grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Use the past tense consistently and a linking word for clarity. Add a brief detail about how you learned (e.g., practice, lessons) to enrich the response.
Example: I learned to type on a keyboard in high school because we had a computer class. During that course, we practiced touch-typing and completed timed exercises to improve speed and accuracy.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: This response is fragmented and unclear. Combine ideas into complete sentences, use linking words, and give a specific method or routine you use to improve (e.g., typing software, timed tests, practice drills). Avoid vague phrases like 'Now prevails.'
Example: I improve my typing mainly by practicing every day at work and using online typing exercises in my free time. For instance, I use a typing website twice a week to do timed drills and track my speed and accuracy improvements.
× I prefer typing because it's easy and more convenient when writing long messages than handwriting.
✓ I prefer typing because it's easier and more convenient than handwriting when writing long messages.
Comparative adjectives must use the -er form or 'more'. 'Easy' should be 'easier' to compare typing with handwriting. Also, the comparison 'more convenient than handwriting' is clearer if placed directly after the comparative phrase; word order was awkward. Suggestion: Use 'easier' for comparison and keep the compared items adjacent.
× It's also easy to edit or to erase when you made a mistake.
✓ It's also easy to edit or erase when you make a mistake.
Tense inconsistency: 'made' is past tense while the general statement requires present tense. Use present simple 'make' for general truths. Also, parallel structure: use 'edit or erase' (no extra 'to'). Suggestion: Keep verb forms parallel and use present tense for habitual facts.
× I usually use desktop computer because I work in a office at hospital and typing is part of my daily task.
✓ I usually use a desktop computer because I work in an office at a hospital and typing is part of my daily tasks.
Missing and incorrect articles: singular countable nouns need 'a' or 'an' ('a desktop computer', 'an office'). Also 'hospital' as a location in English often requires an article: 'a hospital'. 'Task' should be plural 'tasks' to match 'daily' general routine. Suggestion: Add appropriate indefinite articles and pluralize where referring to repeated duties.
× For example, I often type patient records and reports, so I spend several hours at keyboard every day.
✓ For example, I often type patient records and reports, so I spend several hours at the keyboard every day.
'At keyboard' is missing the definite article. Use 'at the keyboard' to refer to the action of typing at that place or device. Suggestion: Use 'the' before 'keyboard' in this context.
× I learned to type on keyboard when I was in high school since we have a computer subject back then.
✓ I learned to type on the keyboard when I was in high school, since we had a computer class back then.
Tense inconsistency and article: 'have' should be past 'had' because the time reference is 'when I was in high school' and 'back then'. 'Computer subject' is more naturally 'computer class' and 'on keyboard' needs 'the keyboard'. Suggestion: Use past tense for past events and choose natural noun phrases.
× I improve my typing by using the computer every day. As typing is part of my daily work. Somehow I improve my typing skills. Now prevails.
✓ I improve my typing by using the computer every day, because typing is part of my daily work, so I have gradually improved my typing skills.
Fragmented sentences and awkward phrase 'Now prevails' which is ungrammatical. Combine fragments into one coherent sentence, use appropriate conjunctions, and correct tense: 'have gradually improved' indicates ongoing improvement up to now. Suggestion: Join related clauses, remove fragments, and use present perfect to show continuous improvement.
