To be honest, it depends on what I am doing. When I need to do some thinking and take notes. I think handwriting is more convenient. However, I will choose typing if I have to write some longer articles.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day. Because I am a novel writer, I have to update my stories each day. Even when I go traveling, I take my laptop with me and write in hotels.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

I first got in touch with a keyboard, but in primary school we had computer classes taught by teachers. At the beginning I struggled to find the letters, but it became easier with plenty of practice. Now I can touch type work quite skillfully.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?

At first, I had to hunt for it later, slowly, while typing. Later at work, I admired how fast my colleague typed, so I memorized the keyboard layout and forced myself not to look at the keyboard. After constant practice, I can tap really fast now.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答总体清晰且自然,但有几处语言和结构问题:1) 第二句是句片段,应合并为完整句子以显得更连贯;2) 可用连接词(例如"because"、"so")增强逻辑;3) 提供更具体的例子或原因(如记忆、速度、修订便利)会让内容更丰富。练习时注意把相关信息控制在最多5句内。
Example: It depends on the task: I prefer handwriting for brainstorming and taking quick notes because it helps me remember ideas better, but I choose typing for longer articles since it's faster and makes editing easier.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 回答直接且有内容,但第二句以从句形式开头显得非正式(以Because开头的句子应与前句合并);同时可用一两个连接词(例如"so"、"therefore")使句子更连贯;可以加入具体频率或写作时段来增加细节。保持在5句以内且避免句子碎片。
Example: Yes, I use a laptop daily because I'm a novel writer, so I update my stories every day and often write in hotels while traveling.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 76.0Suggestion: 内容包含时间背景和过程,但第一句措辞不自然("got in touch with a keyboard"不地道),且最后一句多余词("touch type work")。建议用更自然的时间表达(例如"when I was in primary school"),并保持句子简洁。可添加具体练习方法或时间长度以增强细节。
Example: I learned to type when I was in primary school during computer lessons. At first I struggled to find the keys, but after regular practice over a few years I became fluent at touch typing.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 回答描述了改进过程,但存在多处不自然或冗余表达(例如"hunt for it later"不清楚,"tap really fast"不够正式)。建议按时间顺序用清晰短句描述步骤,使用连接词(first, then, finally)并给出具体练习方法(如盲打练习、在线练习器、每天练习时长)。避免口语化俚语,控制在5句内。
Example: At first I had to hunt for keys and typed very slowly. Then I watched a fast colleague and memorized the layout, forcing myself not to look at the keyboard. Finally, I practiced daily with online typing exercises, which significantly increased my speed.
× To be honest, it depends on what I am doing. When I need to do some thinking and take notes.
✓ To be honest, it depends on what I am doing. When I need to do some thinking and take notes, I prefer handwriting.
问题类型:现在时态和句子结构问题(属于第6类和第26类的交叉,但按要求只选择列表中的第6类)。原句第二句是一个不完整的从句(When 引导的时间状语从句)而没有主句,导致句子不完整。改为在从句后加上主句“I prefer handwriting”来完整表达意思,并保持现在时的一致性。建议:在使用 when/if 等从属连词时确保从句后有主句,时态保持一致。
× However, I will choose typing if I have to write some longer articles.
✓ However, I choose typing if I have to write longer articles.
问题类型:现在时态使用不当(第6类)。原句用 will choose 表示将来,但说的是一般习惯或偏好,应该使用一般现在时 choose。建议:描述习惯或常态时用一般现在时;描述具体将来事件才用 will。
× Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day. Because I am a novel writer, I have to update my stories each day.
✓ Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I am a novelist; I have to update my stories every day.
问题类型:介词/连词使用(第11类)。原文将两个句子用句号分开并以 because 开头,形成了句子片段(从句不能单独作为句子)。另外 novelist 比 novel writer 更自然。改为用 because 连接或用分号连接两个完整分句,并将 each day 统一为 every day。建议:避免用 because 开始独立句子,必要时合并为复合句;选择更地道的词汇。
× Even when I go traveling, I take my laptop with me and write in hotels.
✓ Even when I travel, I take my laptop with me and write in hotels.
问题类型:单复数/动词形式(第1类)。原句 go traveling 用法虽可理解,但更地道的表达是 travel。此处并非严格单复数错误,但属于与列表最接近的项(第1类),修正为更自然的动词短语。建议:用更常见的短语 travel 替代 go traveling。
× I first got in touch with a keyboard, but in primary school we had computer classes taught by teachers.
✓ I first got in touch with a keyboard in primary school, where we had computer classes taught by teachers.
问题类型:句子结构错误(第26类)。原句逗号连接两个信息使时间状语放置不当,建议将“in primary school”移到更合适的位置或用关系副词 where 引导,从而使句子更连贯。建议:注意时间状语的位置,保持句子连贯。
× At the beginning I struggled to find the letters, but it became easier with plenty of practice. Now I can touch type work quite skillfully.
✓ At the beginning I struggled to find the letters, but it became easier with plenty of practice. Now I can touch-type quite skillfully.
问题类型:动词+ing 形式使用(第8类)。原句 touch type work 不正确;应使用复合动词 touch-type(或 touch type)后面不接 work。改为 touch-type 或 say 'type by touch'。建议:学习常见动词短语和连字符用法,避免多余的名词。
× At first, I had to hunt for it later, slowly, while typing.
✓ At first, I had to hunt for the keys slowly while typing.
问题类型:动词+ing 形式及词序(第8类)。原句 'hunt for it later' 中 it 指代不明,later 放置不当,语义混乱。将 it 改为 keys,去掉 later 并调整副词位置以表达“起初打字时我必须慢慢地找键位”。建议:确保代词指代明确,副词位置合理。
× Later at work, I admired how fast my colleague typed, so I memorized the keyboard layout and forced myself not to look at the keyboard.
✓ Later at work, I admired how fast my colleague typed, so I memorized the keyboard layout and forced myself not to look at the keys.
问题类型:句子结构错误(第26类)。原句结构大体正确,但重复使用 keyboard 显得冗余,改为 keys 更自然。建议:避免重复同一词汇,使用同义词以提高表达流畅度。
× After constant practice, I can tap really fast now.
✓ After constant practice, I can type really fast now.
问题类型:现在时态/词汇选择(第6类)。使用 tap 来表示用键盘打字不够精确,type 更合适;时态 can ... now 表达现在能力正确。建议:选择精确词汇来表达技能(type 而不是 tap)。
