Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidato
I prefer handwriting because if I want to remember something and focus on something better, handwriting helps me concentrate more and just remember while writing.
Examinador
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidato
No, I do not have to type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day because I am a student and most of our work involves just handwriting.
Examinador
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

How do you improve your typing?
Candidato
I have not directly tried to improve my typing because as I mentioned I do not have to type but I guess practising would improve my typing.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant and clear, but could be more concise and structured. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Avoid repeating phrases like "something" and aim for varied vocabulary (e.g., "retain information", "stay focused").
Ejemplo: I prefer handwriting. For example, when I take notes by hand I retain information better and stay more focused, because the physical act of writing forces me to process the material more deeply.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Your response answers the question but is slightly repetitive and could be improved by a clearer topic sentence and a specific detail. Use a linking word to add a reason or brief example. Replace "just handwriting" with a more precise phrase like "mostly handwritten assignments."
Ejemplo: No, I don't type every day. As a student, most of my assignments and class notes are handwritten, so I rarely need to use a desktop or laptop keyboard.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Puntuación: 85.0Sugerencia: Good direct answer with a specific time and context. To improve further, remove hedging words like "I believe" and add a short detail about what you learned or how often you practiced to enrich the response.
Ejemplo: I learned to type about four years ago during IT classes at school, where we practiced touch-typing and learned proper finger placement.
How do you improve your typing?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Your answer is honest but somewhat vague. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give a concrete plan or past attempt. Use linking words (e.g., "however", "for example") and avoid speculative phrases like "I guess."
Ejemplo: I haven't formally worked on my typing because I rarely use a keyboard; however, if I wanted to improve I would practice with online typing exercises for 15 minutes a day and track my words-per-minute to measure progress.
× I prefer handwriting because if I want to remember something and focus on something better, handwriting helps me concentrate more and just remember while writing.
✓ I prefer handwriting because if I want to remember something and focus better, handwriting helps me concentrate more and remember it while I write.
Use of 'focus on something better' is wordy; 'focus better' is more natural. 'Just remember while writing' lacks an object; add 'it' to specify what is remembered. Use 'while I write' (present simple) to match general preference. Keep gerund forms clear: 'remember it while I write' is correct.
× No, I do not have to type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day because I am a student and most of our work involves just handwriting.
✓ No, I do not have to type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day because I am a student and most of our work involves only handwriting.
Replace 'just' with 'only' as a more appropriate adverb modifying 'handwriting'. 'Have to' is acceptable for obligation; no modal error besides word choice. 'Involves only handwriting' is more concise and natural.
× I believe that I learned how to type on a keyboard four years ago in school when we had IT classes.
✓ I believe that I learned how to type on a keyboard four years ago at school when we had IT classes.
Use 'at school' rather than 'in school' for attending institution context; both can be used, but 'at school' is more idiomatic here. Tense 'learned' with 'four years ago' is correct. Minor preposition choice improved.
× I have not directly tried to improve my typing because as I mentioned I do not have to type but I guess practising would improve my typing.
✓ I have not tried specifically to improve my typing because, as I mentioned, I do not have to type, but I guess practising would improve it.
'Directly tried' is awkward; use 'tried specifically' or 'specifically tried'. Add commas around 'as I mentioned' for clarity. Use 'it' to avoid repetition ('improve it'). 'Practising would improve my typing' is acceptable, but 'practising would improve it' is more natural. Verb forms and modal 'would' are correct for hypothetical improvement.
