Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
I prefer handwriting even though typing is way more fast. But for me handwriting makes me slow down and help me have more focus and memorize.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
Yes, almost every day except the weekends. Because I am a writer, I work with my laptop, so I type on a laptop keyboard.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
Oh, it's about 30 years ago when a computer just began to be popular in China. I learned how to type with a game. It's like a shooting game. Very funny. So I remember it until now.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
OK to me or next generation I think typing is a part of our daily life more than a skill so I don't think we need to improve them with just umm yeah keep on typing and it will be so familiar.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答要更自然、简洁并注意语法与衔接。避免口语填充词,使用一到两句主题句加一到两句具体理由,并用连接词使逻辑清楚。注意时态和主谓一致,例如“typing is faster”而非“more fast”。
Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me slow down and concentrate. For example, when I take notes by hand I remember information better and stay more focused during lectures.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 句子可以更连贯,避免以从句单独开头。把信息合并成一到两句,并补充具体细节使答案更丰富(例如工作时长或使用软件)。注意不要超过五句话。
Example: Yes, I type almost every day on my laptop because I work as a writer. I usually write for several hours a day using a word processor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 回答要更紧凑并改进时态与连贯性。使用一到两句说明时间背景和学习方式,再给出简短的细节或感受,避免碎句和口头语。
Example: I learned to type about 30 years ago when personal computers were becoming popular in China. I actually practised typing with a shooting-style game, which was fun and helped me remember the keys.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: 答案结构混乱,含有填充词与语法错误。应先直接回答,再用一两句解释或举例。可以承认持续练习重要性,但也可提到具体方法(如练习软件、盲打练习、定时训练)。用简洁自然的语言表达。
Example: I think regular practice is the best way to improve typing. For instance, I use online typing exercises and set aside 15 minutes each day for structured drills to increase my speed and accuracy.
× I prefer handwriting even though typing is way more fast.
✓ I prefer handwriting even though typing is much faster.
问题类型:形容词/副词使用或比较级错误(对应列表中的“Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs”或“Comparative and superlative errors”)。这里原句用的是“more fast”,但“fast”为单音节形容词,比较级应使用“faster”或用“much faster”来表示程度。建议使用“much faster”使语气更自然。
× But for me handwriting makes me slow down and help me have more focus and memorize.
✓ But for me, handwriting makes me slow down and helps me focus and remember things better.
问题类型:句子结构错误(ID 26)和主谓一致(ID 27)。原句有几处问题:1) 两个并列谓语“make... and help...”前的主语是单数“handwriting”,因此第二个动词应为第三人称单数形式“helps”;2) “have more focus and memorize”搭配不当,应改为“focus and remember things better”或“have more focus and better memory”。此外加上逗号使句子更通顺。建议练习主谓一致和常见动词搭配。
× Yes, almost every day except the weekends.
✓ Yes, almost every day except on weekends.
问题类型:主谓一致/介词使用(ID 27 或 11)。这里主要是介词搭配问题,英语中通常说"except on weekends"或直接说"except weekends",但更常见和自然的表达是"except on weekends"或"except for weekends"。建议记住常用介词短语搭配。
× Because I am a writer, I work with my laptop, so I type on a laptop keyboard.
✓ Because I am a writer, I work on my laptop, so I type on a laptop keyboard.
问题类型:代词/介词使用错误(ID 12/11)。这里"work with my laptop"意思不够准确,常见搭配是"work on my laptop"表示使用笔记本电脑工作。建议多记常见动词+介词搭配。
× Oh, it's about 30 years ago when a computer just began to be popular in China.
✓ Oh, it was about 30 years ago when computers were just beginning to become popular in China.
问题类型:时态问题(ID 6)。原句混用了现在时和过去时间状语,应使用过去时:"it was about 30 years ago"且“a computer”应改为复数“computers”或用泛指表达。动词短语更自然为"were just beginning to become popular"。建议注意时间状语与动词时态一致。
× I learned how to type with a game.
✓ I learned how to type through a game.
问题类型:动词+ -ing 形式/介词搭配(ID 8/11)。这里"with a game"不太地道,常用介词是"through"或"using"来表示通过某种方式学会。建议记忆常见介词搭配以表达方式方法。
× It's like a shooting game.
✓ It was like a shooting game.
问题类型:句子结构/时态错误(ID 26/6)。因为谈论过去的经历,应该使用过去时"was"而不是现在时"is"。建议根据时间背景统一时态。
× Very funny.
✓ It was very fun.
问题类型:过去时/形容词使用(ID 5/13)。简短回答应与上下文时态一致:既然在讲过去经历,使用过去时"It was very fun"或更自然的"That was a lot of fun."同时“funny”通常表示“滑稽的”,而“fun”表示“有趣的”。建议区分"fun"和"funny"的用法。
× So I remember it until now.
✓ So I have remembered it until now.
problem type: 过去分词/现在完成时(ID 9/6)。原句用一般现在时“remember”与“until now”搭配不当,表示从过去到现在持续的动作应使用现在完成时:"I have remembered it until now"或更自然的说法是"I still remember it."建议学习现在完成时的用法和更自然的表达。
× OK to me or next generation I think typing is a part of our daily life more than a skill so I don't think we need to improve them with just umm yeah keep on typing and it will be so familiar.
✓ OK, for me and for the next generation, I think typing is more a part of our daily life than a skill, so I don't think we need to improve it intentionally; just keep typing and it will become familiar.
问题类型:句子结构错误(ID 26)、代词使用(ID 12)和冠词/代词一致(ID 22/12)。原句很长且结构混乱:1) "to me or next generation"应为"for me and for the next generation";2) 比较结构更自然为"typing is more a part of our daily life than a skill";3) "we need to improve them"中"them"指代不明,应该用单数"it"(typing);4) 结尾的表达需更自然地使用"keep typing and it will become familiar"。建议练习简洁句子分割、代词指代一致及比较结构。
