Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
I prefer typing rather than handwriting because handwriting sometimes is difficult for someone to recognize the work, but typing is standard so it's easy for us to recognize it. And for my homework, I always use typing for my homework.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
Yes, I typed on desktop everyday because I need to submit my homework and we need to use typing on the assignment. So it's better to use typing every day.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
I learned typing on a keyboard at primary 4. At that time it was my first computer class and we learned it at that moment.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
I practice typing using online game because it's fun and easy for me to learn the typing rather than using regularly or traditionally typed exercise or software.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: state your preference clearly in a topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g. 'for my homework' twice) and minor grammar errors (use 'prefer typing to handwriting').
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because typed text is clearer and easier for others to read. For example, I always type my homework, which makes submitting assignments faster and avoids handwriting mistakes.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Use present simple consistently and give a clearer topic sentence that directly answers the question. Add a brief specific reason with a linking word and correct tense and phrasing (e.g. 'I type on a desktop every day' not 'I typed').
Example: I type on a desktop every day because my school provides desktop computers in the lab. As a result, I can finish and submit assignments quickly and practice my typing skills regularly.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Give a clear, concise answer with a specific time phrase and then add one detail about the context. Avoid redundant phrases like 'at that moment' and improve natural phrasing (e.g. 'in primary four' or 'when I was nine').
Example: I learned to type when I was in primary four, during my first computer class. The teacher taught us basic touch-typing and simple exercises to build speed.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence about your method, then explain why it helps using linking words like 'because' or 'so'. Use more natural phrasing (e.g. 'online games' and 'traditional exercises') and avoid awkward constructions.
Example: I improve my typing by practicing with online typing games because they make learning fun and help me build speed. For example, playing a 10‑minute typing game every day has noticeably reduced my error rate.
× I prefer typing rather than handwriting because handwriting sometimes is difficult for someone to recognize the work, but typing is standard so it's easy for us to recognize it.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because handwriting is sometimes difficult for people to read, but typing is standard so it's easy for us to read it.
Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A rather than B' (preposition usage). 'Difficult for someone to recognize the work' is unnatural; use 'difficult for people to read'. 'Recognize' is incorrect verb for reading handwriting; 'read' is correct. Use 'is sometimes' for correct word order.
× And for my homework, I always use typing for my homework.
✓ For my homework, I always type it.
Redundant article/phrase and awkward structure. 'Use typing for my homework' is unidiomatic. Replace with the simple verb 'type' and avoid repeating 'my homework' twice.
× Yes, I typed on desktop everyday because I need to submit my homework and we need to use typing on the assignment.
✓ Yes, I type on a desktop every day because I need to submit my homework and we need to type for assignments.
Tense mismatch: question asks about daily habit so present simple 'I type' is correct, not past 'I typed'. 'Everyday' should be 'every day' (adverb). 'Use typing on the assignment' is incorrect; use verb 'type' and pluralize 'assignments' for general meaning.
× I typed on desktop everyday because I need to submit my homework and we need to use typing on the assignment. So it's better to use typing every day.
✓ I type on a desktop every day because I need to submit my homework and we need to type for assignments. So it's better to type every day.
Missing definite article: say 'a desktop' or 'the desktop' depending on context; here 'a desktop' is natural. Repetition and unidiomatic 'use typing' should be 'type'. Ensure consistency in tense (present simple) for habitual actions.
× I learned typing on a keyboard at primary 4. At that time it was my first computer class and we learned it at that moment.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard in primary four. It was my first computer class and we learned how to type then.
Use 'learned to type' (verb + infinitive) rather than 'learned typing' (verb + -ing) for this meaning. Use preposition 'in primary four' rather than 'at'. Avoid redundant phrases 'at that time' and 'at that moment'; 'then' suffices. 'How to type' is clearer than 'it'.
× I practice typing using online game because it's fun and easy for me to learn the typing rather than using regularly or traditionally typed exercise or software.
✓ I practice typing using online games because they are fun and make it easier for me to learn than regular or traditional typing exercises or software.
Count noun agreement: 'online game' should be plural 'online games' or use 'an online game'. 'It' is ambiguous; refer to 'they' for games. Use comparative structure 'easier... than' not 'easy... rather than'. 'Regularly' (adverb) is wrong; use adjective 'regular' for 'regular exercises'. 'Traditionally typed exercise' is awkward; use 'traditional typing exercises' or 'traditional software'.
