What I Said:

William got started his handwriting class this week. Today is the second lesson. Be honest, I don’t like his teacher. She likes to challenge kids’ parents to raise herself. Was like you don’t know handwriting, you should teach kid how to handwriting. When I told her William didn’t follow us. She was like that’s your problems, you should let him to follow you. I’ve gotta listen to her and keep smiling, even though I didn’t wanna talk with her. Actually, I’m good at handwriting.

ChatGPT’s Revision:

William started his handwriting class this week, and today was his second lesson. To be honest, I don’t like his teacher. She seems to boost herself by challenging the kids’ parents. For example, she was like, ‘You don’t know handwriting, you should teach your kid how to write properly.’ When I told her William doesn’t listen to us, she responded, ‘That’s your problem—you should make him follow you.’ I just smiled and listened, even though I didn’t want to talk to her. Honestly, I’m pretty good at handwriting myself.”

Fixes and Explanations:

  • “William got started his handwriting class this week” → “William started his handwriting class this week”

    “Got started” is unnecessary here; “started” is simpler and correct.

  • “Be honest, I don’t like his teacher” → “To be honest, I don’t like his teacher”

    “To be honest” is the correct phrase for this context.

  • “She likes to challenge kids’ parents to raise herself” → “She seems to boost herself by challenging the kids’ parents”

    Rephrased for smoother flow and clearer meaning.

  • “Was like you don’t know handwriting, you should teach kid how to handwriting” → “She was like, ‘You don’t know handwriting, you should teach your kid how to write properly’”

    Added proper punctuation and phrasing for the quote. Simplified “how to handwriting” to “how to write properly.”

  • “When I told her William didn’t follow us” → “When I told her William doesn’t listen to us”

    “Doesn’t listen to us” is clearer than “didn’t follow us.”

  • “She was like that’s your problems, you should let him to follow you” → “She responded, ‘That’s your problem—you should make him follow you’”

    Rephrased for clarity and better flow. Corrected “to follow you” to “make him follow you.”

  • “I’ve gotta listen to her and keep smiling, even though I didn’t wanna talk with her” → “I just smiled and listened, even though I didn’t want to talk to her”

    “I’ve gotta” changed to “I just” for smoother expression. Corrected “wanna” to “want to” in this context for a slightly more formal tone.

  • “Actually, I’m good at handwriting” → “Honestly, I’m pretty good at handwriting myself”

    “Honestly” works well here, and “pretty good at handwriting myself” adds a conversational tone.
