In free-writing form, discuss your learning style and what kind of learner you are.
can someone proof read this for me?
I am a kinesthetic learner; I like to do hands on work like labs. I do best in a classroom where there is lots of movement; where I can do it myself. I prefer group work rather than single activity. I recall everything I did in the group, but forget what I did by myself. I enjoy being on the computer, and excel in sports like basketball, and soccer. When I talk I use my hands a lot. I sometimes find it difficult to stay in one place for a long period of time; I need to get up and move. I like teachers who encourage in-class demonstrations, hand-on learning experiences and field work outside the classroom. I learn best by discussing new subjects; if I read it I will go through one ear and out the other, by listening I become distracted I usually tune it out. The best way I have learned over the years for me to study is to do hands on work. As well I have other techniques that have helped me study they are; visual study tools such as flash cards, play sort of like a game, write all information down several times, take notes on textbook readings and lectures, type information to be learned and talk aloud.

visual study tools (noun)
play (verb)
write (verb)
take (verb)
type (verb)
talk (verb)
Now you just need to change that first one to be phrased as a verb phrase, too. That's known as parallel construction: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/parallelism.htm

Discussing your learning style and what kind of learner you are is an important part of understanding how you best absorb and retain information. In your response, you mentioned that you are a kinesthetic learner, which means you prefer hands-on activities and movement in your learning environment. This is valuable information because it can help you optimize your study strategies and seek out educational experiences that align with your learning style.
To proofread your response, it seems that there are a few areas where clarification and rephrasing would enhance your explanation. Here are the suggested edits:
"I am a kinesthetic learner, and I enjoy engaging in hands-on work, such as conducting labs. I thrive in a classroom environment where there is a great deal of movement and opportunities for me to actively participate. Group work appeals to me more than individual activities since I find that I can recall everything I contribute within a group setting. However, I have difficulty remembering information or tasks that I completed on my own.
I also have a natural affinity for using the computer and excel in sports like basketball and soccer. When I communicate, I tend to gesture with my hands. It can be challenging for me to sit in one place for extended periods; I often find the need to get up and move. I am drawn to teachers who incorporate in-class demonstrations, hands-on learning experiences, and fieldwork outside the classroom. These approaches help me absorb information more effectively.
In terms of study strategies, I find that discussing new subjects is the most beneficial for my learning. If I rely solely on reading, the information tends to go in one ear and out the other. Similarly, if I am listening without actively engaging, I become easily distracted and tune out. Over the years, I have discovered that doing hands-on work is the most effective way for me to study.
Additionally, I have developed other techniques that have proven helpful in my studying. These include utilizing visual study tools like flashcards, incorporating playful elements into my learning process, repeatedly writing down information to reinforce retention, taking thorough notes during textbook readings and lectures, typing information to be learned, and vocalizing concepts aloud to enhance understanding."
Remember, understanding your learning style is an ongoing process. It's important to reflect on your experiences and continuously adapt your study strategies to optimize your learning outcomes.
