Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
점수: 78.0제안: Your answer is direct, well-developed, and supported with relevant examples. However, avoid the double comparative in “much more easier”; say “much easier.” Also, “easy to edit” repeats the meaning of “easier,” and “part and parcel of my daily routine” sounds slightly overused and formal for Part 1. Use more natural linking and precise phrasing.
예시: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much easier to edit. I use a keyboard for messages, academic assignments, and notes, and I often type when I am searching for information online or practising English. As a result, typing has become a regular part of my daily routine.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
점수: 76.0제안: You answer the question clearly and give a relevant reason and comparison. Improve grammatical accuracy by changing “I spent” to “I spend,” since you are describing a current routine. Avoid repeating the comparison with “phone”; say “typing on a laptop is easier and quicker than typing on a phone.” The sentence beginning with “because” is quite long, so divide it for greater fluency.
예시: Yes, I use a laptop keyboard almost every day. I spend a lot of time studying and preparing for IELTS, so a laptop is much more convenient than a phone. Typing long passages is also faster and more comfortable on a laptop.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
점수: 64.0제안: The answer includes a clear time reference and a useful explanation, but it has several grammar and word-form errors: use “learned,” “on a keyboard,” “in high school,” “an essential digital skill,” and “students and workers.” The final phrase “make every day” is incomplete; say “make everyday tasks easier.” Also, the second sentence sounds more like a general essay statement than a natural Part 1 response. Keep the focus on your personal experience and use a specific detail, such as the type of computer class or what you practised.
예시: I first learned to type on a keyboard when I was in high school, during computer classes. We practised creating documents and typing short passages, so I gradually became more comfortable with the keyboard. Those skills are still useful because they help me complete schoolwork more quickly.
How do you improve your typing?
점수: 78.0제안: Your response is relevant, organized, and includes specific methods and a clear opinion. Improve the first sentence by saying “I practise for about 20 minutes a day” rather than “practising regularly, almost 20 minutes.” Use the plural “typing exercises,” and add a linking word such as “In addition” before the second method. “Practice makes perfect” is understandable but somewhat clichéd; a more natural explanation would be that regular practice helps you improve steadily.
예시: I improve my typing by practising for about 20 minutes a day. I try to type without constantly looking at the keyboard, and I also use online typing exercises to improve my speed and accuracy. In my experience, practising consistently is more effective than doing a lot of training only once in a while.
× I prefer typing to handwriting because it's much more easier and easy to edit.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because it's much easier to edit.
The adjective easier is already a comparative form, so it cannot be used with more. Also, easier and easy are unnecessarily repeated. Use much easier to make the comparison stronger.
× Yes, I use a laptop keyboard almost every day because it's much more convenient than a phone since I spent quite a lot of time studying and preparing for IELTS.
✓ Yes, I use a laptop keyboard almost every day because it's much more convenient than a phone since I spend quite a lot of time studying and preparing for IELTS.
The sentence describes a current routine, so use the present tense spend instead of the past tense spent.
× So typing long text or passages is easier and quicker than a phone.
✓ So typing long texts or passages is easier and quicker than typing on a phone.
The comparison should be between two similar activities: typing on a keyboard and typing on a phone. A phone itself is not an activity. Also, texts is plural because the sentence refers to long texts in general.
× I first learn to type on keyboard when I was high school during computer classes.
✓ I first learned to type on a keyboard when I was in high school during computer classes.
The action happened in the past, so use learned rather than learn.
× I first learn to type on keyboard when I was high school during computer classes.
✓ I first learned to type on a keyboard when I was in high school during computer classes.
Use in before high school when referring to the period of education. The phrase on a keyboard also requires the article a before the singular countable noun keyboard.
× I first learn to type on keyboard when I was high school during computer classes.
✓ I first learned to type on a keyboard when I was in high school during computer classes.
Keyboard is a singular countable noun, so it needs the indefinite article a. The phrase is type on a keyboard.
× typing is considered to an essential digital skills, particularly for student and workers.
✓ Typing is considered an essential digital skill, particularly for students and workers.
The phrase is considered an essential skill, not considered to an essential skill. Essential is singular, so it must be followed by the singular noun skill and the article an.
× typing is considered to an essential digital skills, particularly for student and workers.
✓ Typing is considered an essential digital skill, particularly for students and workers.
Skill should be singular because it follows an. Student and worker should be plural because the sentence refers to people generally.
× Being able to type quickly and accurately can save a great deal of time and make every day.
✓ Being able to type quickly and accurately can save a great deal of time and make every day more productive.
The verb make needs a complete complement. Adding more productive makes the meaning and sentence structure complete.
× I mainly improve my typing by practicing regularly, almost 20 minutes.
✓ I mainly improve my typing by practicing regularly for almost 20 minutes.
Use for to introduce a period of time. The phrase for almost 20 minutes correctly describes the duration of the practice.
× I try to type without constantly looking at the keyboard and sometimes I use typing exercise to improve my speed and accuracy.
✓ I try to type without constantly looking at the keyboard, and sometimes I use typing exercises to improve my speed and accuracy.
Exercises should be plural because the speaker is referring to practice activities in general. A comma before and also helps separate the two independent clauses.
