Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
I definitely prefer typing, mainly because it's much more easier and convenient, especially for long documents, and I also find that typing makes it much more easier to edit and share my work with others, especially beneficial to my studies.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
Ah yes, I tap on my laptop every day to finish my school assignments and to chat with my friends online. I usually spend about an hour or two typing, and because I practice regularly, my typing speed and the accuracy have improved significantly, which makes it easier to complete tasks.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

I first learned to type in primary school because the school had computer classes every day, so I had many chances to practice my typing skills and the speed. I also improved further by using the computer at home and doing online typing exercises.
Examiner

I will practice regularly to improve both my typing speed and accuracy because there are many free online typing exercises and tests. For example, I plan to use typing software and do short daily drills to build consistency and reduce mistakes.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 注意语法和词汇准确性并避免冗余。回答结构清晰,有主题句和支持细节,但反复使用“much more easier/convenient”显得啰嗦且有语法错误(应该用“much easier”或“far more convenient”)。可以用一两个具体例子替代重复表达,以提高表达的丰富性和自然度。
Example: I prefer typing because it's easier and faster for long documents. For example, when I write essays for university, I can quickly reorganize paragraphs and share drafts with classmates for feedback.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答自然且信息明确,但注意减少口头填充词(如“Ah yes”)并修正小语法问题(“the accuracy”可改为“my accuracy”)。可以更具体说明使用场景或举例说明进步如何影响学习效率。
Example: Yes, I use my laptop daily for assignments and chatting. I type for about one to two hours, and as my speed and accuracy have improved, I can finish homework faster and participate in online discussions more confidently.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答信息完整但语言稍显冗长和重复(如“practice my typing skills and the speed”)。建议精简表达并加入具体时间点或年龄以增强细节性,同时用连词使句子更流畅。
Example: I learned to type in primary school when we had daily computer lessons, so I practiced a lot. Later at home I used online exercises to increase my speed and accuracy.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答逻辑清晰且给出具体方法,但时态混用(先用将来时“I will”又说“there are”),可统一时态并更具体说明频率和时长以显示可行性。也可举例说明用哪种软件或练习类型。
Example: I practice daily to improve speed and accuracy, usually doing 15-minute drills with typing software like TypingClub. Consistent short sessions help me reduce mistakes and keep progress steady.
× I definitely prefer typing, mainly because it's much more easier and convenient, especially for long documents, and I also find that typing makes it much more easier to edit and share my work with others, especially beneficial to my studies.
✓ I definitely prefer typing, mainly because it's much easier and more convenient, especially for long documents, and I also find that typing makes it much easier to edit and share my work with others, which is especially beneficial to my studies.
句中使用了“much more easier”和“much more easier to edit”這類結構,屬於形容詞/副詞使用錯誤。'easy' 的比較級是 'easier',不能再加 'more';若要強調,可用 'much easier' 或 'more convenient'(因為 'convenient' 是三音節,使用 'more convenient' 正確)。此外原句末尾短語 'especially beneficial to my studies' 缺少連接詞或關係從句,改為 'which is especially beneficial to my studies' 更通順。建議:記住比較級規則(one-syllable: -er;two-syllable 有時用 -er 或 more,三音節以上用 more),避免同時使用 'more' 和 '-er'。
× I usually spend about an hour or two typing, and because I practice regularly, my typing speed and the accuracy have improved significantly, which makes it easier to complete tasks.
✓ I usually spend about an hour or two typing, and because I practice regularly, my typing speed and accuracy have improved significantly, which makes it easier to complete tasks.
原句 'my typing speed and the accuracy have improved' 在搭配上不一致:'the accuracy' 前有定冠詞而 'typing speed' 則沒有,且 'the accuracy' 可簡化為 'accuracy'。主語是 'my typing speed and accuracy'(複合主語),用複數動詞 'have improved' 正確,但表達需一致。建議:保持同類名詞形式一致,刪去不必要的冠詞。
× I will practice regularly to improve both my typing speed and accuracy because there are many free online typing exercises and tests.
✓ I practice regularly to improve both my typing speed and accuracy because there are many free online typing exercises and tests.
題幹問的是通常如何改善打字,敘述應使用一般現在時描述習慣或常態。原句使用 'I will practice regularly' 顯得像將來計劃而非習慣。建議:用一般現在時 'I practice' 或用 'I try to practice regularly' 表達習慣或計劃。
× I first learned to type in primary school because the school had computer classes every day, so I had many chances to practice my typing skills and the speed.
✓ I first learned to type in primary school because the school had computer classes every day, so I had many chances to practice my typing skills and improve my speed.
原句 'practice my typing skills and the speed' 中 'the speed' 表達不自然,且與前半句時態一致,但應用動詞 'improve' 來搭配 'speed' 更恰當。此處是過去發生的事,用過去式 'learned' 和 'had' 正確,需修正名詞搭配以更符合語義。建議:用動詞短語 'improve my speed' 或直接 'increase my typing speed'。
× Ah yes, I tap on my laptop every day to finish my school assignments and to chat with my friends online.
✓ Ah yes, I type on my laptop every day to finish my school assignments and to chat with my friends online.
原句使用 'tap on my laptop' 在語義上不自然。英語中說 'type on a laptop/keyboard' 更常見;'tap' 常用於手機或平板的觸摸動作。此處應選擇合適的動詞 'type' 並使用介詞 'on' 搭配 'laptop'。建議:根據動作選擇正確動詞,'type on a laptop' 為常用表達。
