Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
Well, I prefer handwriting more rather than the typing. Uh, in my daily life, I use pens more rather than the computer actually, unless I have to do the assignment online, in my opinion, handwriting is more directly. I can just, uh, write down what, what in my mind. Rather than thinking about where the letters are.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
Uh, if I have to choose one of these two options, I will go for the laptop. I just own a new laptop when I go into the university. So when I doing my homework assignments and even the online test, I have to use my laptop and of course I. He needed to type on my computer to finish the task.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
Well, I don't really understand actually, uh, maybe I guess when I, umm, 7 or 8 years old, uh, when I was a children, I just uh, got my phone and learned how to type on phones. Rather than the laptop. I didn't have the laptop then so I guess I just uh, study how to tap when I was 7.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
Well, uh, practicing is a most important way to improve my typing skills. Actually, uh, I need to text my friends almost every day. In this case, I I mean that I just practice typing every day on the smartphones. In this case, the typing skills are improved fast.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答要更自然、简洁并保持逻辑性。开头直接给出立场,随后用一到两句具体理由支持,避免重复和填充词(如 uh, umm, I mean)。使用连词(because, so, therefore)连接句子,并给出具体例子(如记笔记、画草图)。控制在不超过五句。
Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me think more clearly and take quick notes. For example, when I study, I can draw diagrams and jot down ideas faster with a pen, which makes revision easier. Therefore, unless I need to submit work online, I usually choose paper and pen.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 回答要语法正确并减少口语填充,句子要连贯。开头直接回答(Laptop),随后说明原因与频率,提供具体场景(homework, online tests)。注意时态和主谓一致,避免断句和语音错误。
Example: I usually type on a laptop. I bought a new laptop when I started university, so I use it daily for homework and online tests. It’s convenient to carry and has all the software I need for my studies.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答应更确定并用更恰当的词汇表达时间。避免长时间犹豫和重复,直接给出年龄并说明学习方式(phone vs keyboard)。用一两句补充细节如练习频率或环境。
Example: I learned to type when I was about seven or eight. At that age I got a phone and practised tapping messages, so I became comfortable with typing on touchscreens before I learned to use a laptop keyboard.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 64.0Suggestion: 回答要具体说明改进方法并给出细节,如练习频率、使用的练习工具(typing apps, online tests)或目标(speed, accuracy)。减少重复表述,使用连接词使结构清晰。
Example: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice. Besides texting friends every day, I use online typing tests and apps for 10–15 minutes daily to increase my speed and accuracy, and I focus on correcting common mistakes.
× Well, I prefer handwriting more rather than the typing.
✓ Well, I prefer handwriting rather than typing.
句中使用了冗余的比较词汇“more rather than”不符合英语习惯;同时“the typing”不需要定冠词。建议删去“more”和“the”,使用固定表达“prefer A rather than B”。
× in my daily life, I use pens more rather than the computer actually, unless I have to do the assignment online, in my opinion, handwriting is more directly.
✓ In my daily life, I use pens rather than the computer. Actually, unless I have to do an assignment online, in my opinion, handwriting is more direct.
句中再次出现“more rather than”冗余,应使用“rather than”。“the computer”在泛指电脑时通常不用定冠词;“do the assignment”改为“do an assignment”更自然;“more directly”用作表语时应为形容词“more direct”,而不是副词。建议按以上修改。
× I can just, uh, write down what, what in my mind. Rather than thinking about where the letters are.
✓ I can just write down what is in my mind, rather than thinking about where the letters are.
原句断句不当导致片段独立成句“Rather than...”,应并入主句;省略了从句动词“is”。建议将两部分合并并补全动词。
× If I have to choose one of these two options, I will go for the laptop.
✓ If I had to choose one of these two options, I would go for the laptop.
此处为与现在事实相反或假设的条件句,应使用与现在或将来不太可能发生的假设结构:过去式条件从句(If I had)+ would。原句用一般现在/将来时不太合适。建议使用虚拟语气。
× I just own a new laptop when I go into the university.
✓ I just got a new laptop when I went to university.
“own”表示现在拥有,但原意是过去发生的动作,需用过去时“got”。“go into the university”不自然,描述过去进入大学应为“went to university”。建议使用过去时态表达过去事件。
× So when I doing my homework assignments and even the online test, I have to use my laptop and of course I.
✓ So when I am doing my homework assignments and even online tests, I have to use my laptop, of course.
缺少be动词“am”来构成现在进行时“am doing”。另外“the online test”改为复数“online tests”更通顺;句尾多余“I.”导致不完整,应删去并用逗号连接。建议补全助动词并修正数与标点。
× He needed to type on my computer to finish the task.
✓ I needed to type on my computer to finish the task.
句中人称代词错误,“He”与语境的第一人称不符,应为“I”。动词时态也应与前句保持一致(needed为过去时),但若上下文为现在也可用“need”。建议根据时态选“I need”或“I needed”。
× Well, I don't really understand actually, uh, maybe I guess when I, umm, 7 or 8 years old, uh, when I was a children, I just uh, got my phone and learned how to type on phones.
✓ Well, I don't really remember exactly, maybe when I was 7 or 8 years old. When I was a child, I got my phone and learned how to type on it.
原句中“don't really understand”语义不当,应为“don't really remember”;“when I, umm, 7 or 8 years old”缺少动词“was”;“when I was a children”复数错误,应为单数“a child”;“type on phones”应指“type on it”或“type on phones”改为“on a phone”。建议按以上修正并理顺句子。
× Rather than the laptop. I didn't have the laptop then so I guess I just uh, study how to tap when I was 7.
✓ I didn't have a laptop then, so I guess I just learned how to tap when I was 7.
句首片段“Rather than the laptop.” 非完整句,应并入前句或删去;“the laptop”改为不定冠词“a laptop”;“study how to tap”用法不当,应为“learned how to tap”。时态要保持过去时。建议合并句子并使用正确动词和时态。
× Well, uh, practicing is a most important way to improve my typing skills.
✓ Well, practicing is the most important way to improve my typing skills.
“a most important”不符合习惯用法,此处应使用定冠词“the”构成最高级“the most important”。建议改为“the most important”。
× Actually, uh, I need to text my friends almost every day. In this case, I I mean that I just practice typing every day on the smartphones.
✓ Actually, I need to text my friends almost every day. I mean that I just practice typing every day on my smartphone.
句中重复“I I”是口误,应去掉重复;“on the smartphones”代词与语境不符,指自己的手机应为“on my smartphone”。建议删除重复并使用正确的物主代词。
× In this case, the typing skills are improved fast.
✓ In this way, my typing skills improve quickly.
被动语态“are improved”在此不自然,且缺少主语“my”;时态应为一般现在时描述习惯性动作:“improve”。副词“fast”可换为更书面的“quickly”。建议使用主动语态和一般现在时。
