Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 用更简洁连贯的句子,减少填充词(如“uh”)并纠正语法错误(如主谓一致)。回答应直接给出观点,然后用具体原因和例子支持,控制在3-4句内。可以使用连接词如“because”或“however”来衔接观点与支持细节。
Example: I prefer handwriting because it feels more natural and helps me remember things better. I learned to write by hand when I was a child, so I'm more comfortable with it. However, I understand many people prefer typing now because it's faster and more convenient.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 注意主谓和单复数一致,删去多余短语,提供更具体信息(例如使用场景)。用一两句说明偏好原因并举例说明何时使用笔记本或机械键盘。
Example: I own a laptop but I usually type on an external mechanical keyboard because it is more comfortable for long sessions. For example, when I study or do programming at my desk, I connect the keyboard to my laptop for better typing feel.

How do you improve your typing?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 结构要更清晰:先说明常用方法,再给出具体练习方式和频率,纠正不自然表达(如“use IELTS trainings to treat”)。尽量用具体例子与连接词,如“for example”或“then”。
Example: I improve my typing by practicing regularly. For example, I copy paragraphs from articles into a Word document and type them daily for 20–30 minutes to build speed. I also use online typing tests and IELTS writing tasks to practice under time pressure.
× And I also was trained, uh, by writing by hand, uh, since I was a little kid.
✓ And I was also trained to write by hand since I was a little kid.
问题类型:现在时使用不当(6)。解释:原句中“was trained, by writing by hand, since I was a little kid”结构混乱,时态和动词形式不一致。改为“was trained to write by hand”使用不定式表示受训目的,且“since”引出自过去某时起持续到现在的情况,通常与完成时连用,但口语中可接受简单过去表示过去接受训练的事实。建议:使用“trained to + 动词原形”来表达受训目的,若强调持续效果可用现在完成时。
× It's when technology enhanced so quick that most people uses, uh, typing instead of handwriting.
✓ Technology advanced so quickly that most people use typing instead of handwriting.
问题类型:主谓一致/单复数及词形选择(27,1)。解释:原句“technology enhanced so quick”用词不当,应使用“advanced”或“developed”,“quick”需用副词“quickly”。“most people uses”主语是复数应使用“use”。建议:注意动词与主语人称数一致,副词修饰动词。
× Well, personally I own a laptop, but I prefer typing on a mechanical keyboard that are usually attached on a desktop computers.
✓ Well, personally I own a laptop, but I prefer typing on a mechanical keyboard that is usually attached to a desktop computer.
问题类型:第三人称单数/主谓一致(2,27)。解释:关系从句中主语“keyboard”是单数,谓语应为“is”;介词搭配应为“attached to”;“desktop computers”若指单一设备应为单数“computer”,或改为复数并调整动词。建议:确保关系从句谓语与先行词数一致,使用正确介词搭配。
× So I purchased a keyboard that is both capable for laptops and also desktop computers.
✓ So I purchased a keyboard that is compatible with both laptops and desktop computers.
问题类型:句子结构/介词使用(26,11)。解释:原句“capable for”用法不当,正确搭配为“compatible with”或“suitable for”;并列结构应保持平行“both ... and ...”。建议:使用“compatible with both A and B”的结构,保持并列项形式一致。
× Well, probably it dates back to when I was in grade 5, as they were compulsory lessons.
✓ Well, it probably dates back to when I was in grade 5, as they were compulsory lessons.
问题类型:过去时使用(5)。解释:此句小修为词序调整以更自然。原句“probably it dates back”语序不太自然,改为“it probably dates back”。“they were compulsory lessons”时态正确。建议:将副词放在情态词或主语之后使语序更自然。
× Uh, that relates to the use of computers and typing is, I think it's, uh, it occupies most of our classes.
✓ That relates to the use of computers, and typing, I think, occupied most of our classes.
问题类型:句子结构/时态(26,6)。解释:原句混乱且时态不一致。若讲过去经历,应把“occupy”改为过去时“occupied”并去掉多余代词“it”,使句子更清晰。建议:简化插入语(like “I think”)的位置,保持主要谓语明确且时态一致。
× So I did spend a lot of time learning the time when I was in primary school.
✓ So I spent a lot of time learning when I was in primary school.
问题类型:过去时(5)。解释:原句“did spend a lot of time learning the time”包含多余词“the time”,重复且不必要。用一般过去时“spent”更自然。建议:去掉冗余片语,直接表达“spent time doing something”。
× While training is always the way to get used to something, so I usually learn how to type and afterwards I probably find some paragraphs and uh, just type that paragraph on a blank like Word document, Uh, and I also use IELTS trainings to treat.
✓ Training is always the way to get used to something, so I usually learn how to type, and afterwards I probably find some paragraphs and just type them in a blank Word document. I also use IELTS practice tests to practice.
问题类型:动词+ing/词汇搭配错误(8,13)。解释:原句中“learn how to type and afterwards I probably find some paragraphs and just type that paragraph”代词不一致且“type that paragraph on a blank like Word document”搭配不自然;“IELTS trainings to treat”用词错误,应为“IELTS practice tests”或“IELTS training materials”并用“practice”表示练习。建议:使用复数代词“them”对应“paragraphs”,用“type in a blank Word document”,并用准确词汇“practice tests/practice”。
