Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
Of course, I prefer typing because I usually use my phones and computer for most tasks, so it's more convenient and much faster. Also, it's easier to edit and store what I write electronically. For example, I type no during online classes.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I use it for my work and to take online classes. For example, I usually type emails and reports at work and attend English lessons online in the evening.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
I learned how to type on keyboard when I was in primary school and it took me about a month to get comfortable. I found it's easier than learning math because typing only requires regular practice to build muscle memory.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
Oh, I plan to improve my typing by practicing regularly on this dedicated typing websites such as Typing Club and by joining timed exercise to increase my speed and accuracy.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答流利且内容相关,但有两点需要改进:1) 示例句子含糊(“I type no during online classes” 不明确或有语法问题),应给出更具体的例子;2) 可用一到两个连接词使表达更连贯并避免重复(例如 because, therefore, furthermore)。此外注意句子数量不宜过长或冗余,保留要点并清晰表达。
Example: I prefer typing because I use my phone and computer for most tasks, so it’s more convenient and much faster. It’s also easier to edit and store documents electronically, which saves time when I need to review or share notes.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答直接且具体,举例说明了使用场景,结构清晰。可以增加连接词以增强逻辑性(for example 已使用,可在首句后加 therefore 或 so 引出结果),并略微丰富词汇(例如 replace 'use it for my work' with 'use it for professional tasks')。注意保持句子简洁,不要重复同一信息。
Example: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I use it for professional tasks and online classes. For example, I often compose emails and reports at work, and in the evening I join online English lessons.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 82.0Suggestion: 回答包含时间和学习过程,比较也增加了内容深度。改进点:注意时态与冠词(“on keyboard” 应为 “on a keyboard”),可用更自然的连接词(for example, because, so)并提供更具体的细节(比如练习频率或使用的方法)。这样能显示更成熟的表达。
Example: I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school, and after about a month of daily practice I felt comfortable. Because typing relies on muscle memory, practicing for 15–20 minutes a day helped me improve quickly.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答指出了具体方法,但有语法和搭配问题(例如 “this dedicated typing websites” 应为 “dedicated typing websites” 或 “a dedicated site”;“joining timed exercise” 应为 “doing timed exercises”)。改进建议:使用正确的名词单复数与冠词,给出更具体的计划(练习频率、目标速度或具体练习类型),并用连接词组织步骤。
Example: I plan to improve my typing by practicing regularly on dedicated websites like TypingClub and doing timed exercises to boost speed and accuracy. I aim to practice for 20 minutes five times a week and track my words-per-minute to measure progress.
× Of course, I prefer typing because I usually use my phones and computer for most tasks, so it's more convenient and much faster.
✓ Of course, I prefer typing because I usually use my phone and computer for most tasks, so it's more convenient and much faster.
原句中“use my phones and computer”使用复数“phones”而“computer”是单数,且通常说法为“my phone and computer”。这是名词数与并列结构的不一致问题,属于介词用法/名词使用不当的范畴。建议把“phones”改为单数“phone”,或者将两者都用复数并保持一致(my phones and my computers),但在此语境下更自然的是“my phone and computer”。
× For example, I type no during online classes.
✓ For example, I type notes during online classes.
原句“For example, I type no during online classes.”中的“no”显然是拼写或用词错误,意图应为“notes”(笔记)。这属于词汇/冠词使用错误的范畴。建议使用正确名词“notes”。
× I learned how to type on keyboard when I was in primary school and it took me about a month to get comfortable.
✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school, and it took me about a month to get comfortable.
在英文中,通常说“type on a keyboard”,需要不定冠词“a”。原句缺少冠词,属于介词/冠词使用错误。建议在“keyboard”前加上不定冠词“a”。此外两个并列分句之间加逗号更符合书面语。
× I found it's easier than learning math because typing only requires regular practice to build muscle memory.
✓ I found it was easier than learning maths because typing only requires regular practice to build muscle memory.
原句中“I found it's easier than learning math”时态和地区用法有问题:既然作者在过去学会打字,主句应使用过去时“it was”。另外“math”或“maths”取决于美式或英式英语,若使用英式则用“maths”。这里根据前后时态一致性,建议把“it's”改为“it was”。这一更改属于时态问题(过去时)。
× Oh, I plan to improve my typing by practicing regularly on this dedicated typing websites such as Typing Club and by joining timed exercise to increase my speed and accuracy.
✓ Oh, I plan to improve my typing by practicing regularly on dedicated typing websites such as TypingClub and by joining timed exercises to increase my speed and accuracy.
原句存在多处问题:1) “this dedicated typing websites”中“this”与复数“websites”不一致,应去掉“this”或改为“these”。2) “Typing Club”是网站名,常写为“TypingClub”。3) “joining timed exercise”中的“exercise”应为复数“exercises”。这些属于指示词与名词数一致错误、数量词使用错误与固定搭配错误(可归入情态/用法类)。建议改为“on dedicated typing websites such as TypingClub and by joining timed exercises”。
