Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
I would say handwriting are enjoying the process of writing. I used to attend lessons where I really made my hand really pretty beautiful and it is kind of my personal identity. So I really enjoyed writing all the characters on my own hand.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
I do not own a laptop keyboard nowadays because I am in school dormitory and I don't possess the desktop here. I only have a desktop back home. So it is more of a restriction that I have to use laptop keyboard, but I would prefer the other way around.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
Umm, I think it's in elementary school where there are IT lessons and there is a computer room and a specific class where the teachers told us how to do that. Actually, I think there is a competition about how fast you can type. I didn't do well then.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
Uh, I think it's really just a matter of time. The more you do it, the better you got about it. It's just practicing and with perseverance. It's kind of a muscle memory. You get to eat naturally.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 回答要更直接并使用正确语法,避免重复和不必要的细节。开头给出明确观点(prefer handwriting),然后用1–2句具体原因(如风格、放松或记忆帮助),并用连接词使句子连贯。例如改正主谓一致和不恰当表达。
Example: I prefer handwriting because I enjoy the process and it helps me remember things better. For example, I took calligraphy lessons when I was younger and developed a neat style that I consider part of my identity, so writing by hand feels more personal and satisfying.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 回答要更简洁并纠正混乱表达。先直接回答(I usually type on a laptop/desktop),然后简述原因和具体情形,使用连接词如 "because" 或 "however" 来衔接。避免重复“don't possess”。
Example: I usually type on a laptop because I live in a school dormitory and don't have access to my desktop, which is back at home. However, I would prefer using a desktop since I find its keyboard more comfortable for long typing sessions.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答已包含时间和背景,但可以更简洁并提供更具体细节(例如年级或年龄),以及连贯地说明结果。删去犹豫词并用逻辑连接词如“at that time”或“after that”。
Example: I learned to type in elementary school during IT lessons when we used the computer room. I remember a typing speed competition in class, but I didn't perform well at the time, so I kept practicing afterwards to improve.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 回答要更具体,给出实际方法和步骤,而不是空泛表述。可提及练习工具(在线练习、练习文章)、每天练习时长以及如何跟踪进步。修正错误表达如“You get to eat naturally”。
Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly with online typing tests for about 20 minutes a day and focusing on accuracy before speed. I also use practice passages and track my words-per-minute to monitor progress, which helps build muscle memory over time.
× I would say handwriting are enjoying the process of writing.
✓ I would say handwriting is enjoyable; I enjoy the process of writing.
原句中 handwritings/handwriting 作主语时需与单数或不可数形式一致。此处 handwriting 作抽象概念,应视为不可数或单数,搭配单数动词 is。此外原句结构混乱,将被动/进行误用,改为 I enjoy the process 更清晰。建议把握不可数名词与动词一致,并把复杂结构拆成简单句。
× I used to attend lessons where I really made my hand really pretty beautiful and it is kind of my personal identity.
✓ I used to attend lessons where I made my handwriting look really pretty, and it became part of my personal identity.
原句结构冗长且不自然,使用 made my hand 很奇怪,应为 made my handwriting look...;并且时态和连接词需更流畅。建议将句子拆分并使用恰当名词(handwriting)和短语(part of my personal identity)。
× So I really enjoyed writing all the characters on my own hand.
✓ So I really enjoyed writing all the characters by myself.
原句使用 on my own hand 含糊且不符合语义(写在手上与自己书写混淆)。若想表达自己亲手写,应使用 by myself;若确实是写在手上,应明确为 writing all the characters on my hand。建议根据真实意思选择正确短语。
× I do not own a laptop keyboard nowadays because I am in school dormitory and I don't possess the desktop here.
✓ I do not own a laptop nowadays because I am in a school dormitory and I don't have a desktop here.
原句中 the school dormitory 用法不当,需不定冠词 a school dormitory 或省略 the;另外 possess the desktop 不自然,改为 have a desktop/desktop at home 更口语。建议注意冠词使用和动词搭配的自然性。
× I only have a desktop back home.
✓ I only have a desktop at home.
原句 back home 常用,但在此处更自然的介词是 at home。并非严格数的错误,但结合上下文调整以符合习惯搭配。建议学习常用固定搭配(at home, back home 可作短语放句尾)。
× So it is more of a restriction that I have to use laptop keyboard, but I would prefer the other way around.
✓ So I'm restricted from using a laptop keyboard here; I would prefer the other way around.
原句 the other way around 含糊且前半句结构不自然,建议使用 I'm restricted from... 或 I have to use a laptop keyboard here as a restriction。保持主语和时态一致,句子更通顺。
× Umm, I think it's in elementary school where there are IT lessons and there is a computer room and a specific class where the teachers told us how to do that.
✓ Umm, I think it was in elementary school where we had IT lessons, a computer room, and a specific class in which the teachers showed us how to type.
原句时态混用(现在时 it's 与过去经历冲突),且重复使用 there is/are 造成冗余。把时态改为过去式 had/was 更符合时间背景;用 in which 或 where 简化从句。建议统一时态并减少冗余的 there be 结构。
× Actually, I think there is a competition about how fast you can type. I didn't do well then.
✓ Actually, I think there was a competition about how fast you could type. I didn't do well then.
段落在回忆过去事件,应使用过去时。原句使用现在时 there is 与上下文的过去时 didn't 不一致。建议在描述过去经历时统一使用过去时态(was, could)。
× Uh, I think it's really just a matter of time.
✓ Uh, I think it's really just a matter of time.
句子本身无明显语法错误,此处保留原句。若要指出主谓一致,这句主语 it 与单数谓语 is 一致,无需改动。
× The more you do it, the better you got about it.
✓ The more you do it, the better you get at it.
原句中 got 是过去式,且固定句型 'the more..., the better...' 后半句应使用一般现在时 get(或 will get)并使用固定搭配 get good at / get better at sth。建议掌握比较相关固定句型的时态和介词搭配。
× It's just practicing and with perseverance.
✓ It's just practice and perseverance.
原句 practicing 作动名词虽可,但与 with perseverance 并列不平行;更自然的名词并列是 practice and perseverance。建议注意并列成分的词类一致性。
× It's kind of a muscle memory.
✓ It's kind of muscle memory.
muscle memory 通常作不可数名词,前面不需要不定冠词 a。建议记住不可数名词和固定搭配的使用。
× You get to eat naturally.
✓ You do it naturally.
原句 You get to eat naturally 与语境不符(打字练习与吃无关),应为 you do it naturally 或 it comes naturally to you。建议选用与语境一致的动词短语。
