Part 1

Examiner

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Candidate

I like typing then handwriting. This is because my handwriting is quite hard for read, so if I could shoot I would choose typing instead and it's really time killing.

Examiner

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Candidate

Yes, I tied every day since I always have my iPad stuck with me almost all the time. So every day I love to type, to talk with my friends or maybe search Internet.

Examiner

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Candidate

If I'm not mistaken, it was when I was in kindergarten. It had, Oh my school had a class for kids to like, uh, have a chance to tied by a keyboard.

Examiner

How do you improve your typing?

Candidate

I think it is only about frequencies and consistencies. When I was a kid I didn't like typing so much but because I wanted to talk with author that made me have to tithe all day.

Part 1

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Be clearer, correct grammar, and keep answer concise (max 5 sentences). Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one clear reason with a brief example. Use correct verb forms and vocabulary (e.g., 'hard to read', 'time-saving'). Avoid filler words and unclear phrases like 'if I could shoot' or 'time killing.'

Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. My handwriting is hard to read, so typing is more legible. Also, typing is faster, which saves time when I have a lot of notes. For example, I can type lecture notes quickly and organize them on my laptop.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Correct vocabulary and grammar (e.g., 'type' not 'tied'; 'I always have my iPad with me'). Give a direct answer about device type first, then add specific daily uses with linking words. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I type every day on my iPad keyboard because I carry it with me almost all the time. I usually type messages to friends, write short notes, and search the internet. Sometimes I also use it for social media and quick school assignments.

When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Reduce hesitation and informal fillers. Give a clear time reference and a concise supporting detail. Fix grammar ('tied' -> 'type') and sentence structure. Use linking phrase like 'I remember' or 'I first learned' to start plainly.

Example: I first learned to type when I was in kindergarten. My school offered a basic computer class where we practiced typing on keyboards, which helped me become comfortable with typing early on.

How do you improve your typing?

Score: 50.0

Suggestion: Be specific and correct word choice: use 'frequency' and 'consistency' and correct 'author'/'type' mistakes. Explain concrete methods (practice, online lessons, typing tests) and give one brief example. Keep sentences clear and grammatical.

Example: I improve my typing through regular practice and consistency. For instance, I spend 15 minutes each day on online typing exercises and take weekly speed tests to track progress. Over time, this routine increased both my speed and accuracy.

Grammar

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I like typing then handwriting.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting.

The original sentence uses 'then' and a structure that sounds awkward; this is an incorrect use of conjunctions/pronouns for comparison. Use 'prefer A to B' to express a preference between two things. This keeps the meaning clear and grammatically correct.

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× This is because my handwriting is quite hard for read, so if I could shoot I would choose typing instead and it's really time killing.

✓ This is because my handwriting is quite hard to read, so if I could choose I would choose typing instead, and it's really time-consuming.

'Hard for read' is incorrect word order and form — the correct infinitive is 'hard to read' (adverbial phrase). 'If I could shoot' appears to be a mistaken verb choice; use 'choose'. 'Time killing' is colloquial and should be 'time-consuming' in this context. These changes fix adjective/adverb usage and verb selection.

Past tense issue

× Yes, I tied every day since I always have my iPad stuck with me almost all the time.

✓ Yes, I type every day since I always have my iPad with me almost all the time.

The student used 'tied' (past of 'tie') instead of 'type'. This is a lexical/verb form error affecting tense and meaning. Use present simple 'type' because the sentence describes a habitual action ('every day'). Also remove redundant 'stuck' and keep 'have my iPad with me'.

Verb in the present participle form

× So every day I love to type, to talk with my friends or maybe search Internet.

✓ So every day I love to type, to chat with my friends, or maybe search the Internet.

'Talk with my friends' is acceptable but 'chat with my friends' fits spoken context better; more importantly 'search Internet' is missing the definite article 'the' (article error) and 'search' can remain base form. This correction addresses article usage and natural verb choice.

Past tense issue

× If I'm not mistaken, it was when I was in kindergarten.

✓ If I'm not mistaken, it was when I was in kindergarten.

This sentence is correct. It uses past tense appropriately to refer to a past time. No change needed.

Sentence structure errors

× It had, Oh my school had a class for kids to like, uh, have a chance to tied by a keyboard.

✓ My school had a class for kids to learn how to type on a keyboard.

Original contains disfluencies and incorrect verb forms: 'had a class' is fine but 'to tied by a keyboard' is incorrect. Use 'learn how to type' and 'on a keyboard'. This fixes sentence structure and verb form (infinitive vs past tense).

Present tense issue

× I think it is only about frequencies and consistencies.

✓ I think it's only about frequency and consistency.

Use the uncountable nouns 'frequency' and 'consistency' rather than plural forms here; this is a matter of noun form and collocation in present-tense general statement.

Past tense issue

× When I was a kid I didn't like typing so much but because I wanted to talk with author that made me have to tithe all day.

✓ When I was a kid I didn't like typing very much, but because I wanted to talk with others that made me have to type all day.

Multiple errors: 'author' is likely a mistake for 'others' or 'other people'; 'tithe' is incorrect (should be 'type'). The past tense 'didn't like' is correct; keep past tense for related actions. Fix word choice to 'type' and 'others' to make sense.
