考官
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
For me, I prefer handwriting, especially for journaling and planning my daily activity because it helps me preserve memories and brainstorm ideas more creatively. However, typing is essential for my study since it is faster and makes it easier to edit and share notes.
考官
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
考生
I do not type on a daily basis because I only type when I have an assignment due, which is very rare, and when I do, I prefer a laptop keyboard because it's more spacious and easier to use.
考官
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
考生
I learned to type around 5th or 6th grade as part of our school computer science course. I enjoyed it because our teacher was enthusiastic and taught us many practical computer skills.

How do you improve your typing?
考生
I didn't try to improve my typing deliberately. It developed naturally while I was doing my pharmacy degree, which involved many research projects and long report. As I wrote more assignments under tight deadlines, I practiced typing a lot and now I can type faster and with fewer errors.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 88.0建议: Your answer is natural, directly addresses the question and gives clear reasons for both preferences. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid redundancy (combine similar ideas) and add a linking phrase to make the contrast clearer. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., use 'organize' or 'capture' instead of repeating 'preserve' or 'helps').
示例: I usually prefer handwriting for journaling and planning because it helps me capture memories and brainstorm more creatively; however, for academic work I rely on typing since it’s faster and makes editing and sharing notes much easier.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 82.0建议: Good direct response and clear reason. To improve, avoid repeating 'I do' and tighten the sentence structure. Add a linking word to contrast frequency and preference, and provide a specific brief example of why the laptop feels easier (e.g., key spacing or portability).
示例: Not every day—I only type when an assignment is due, which doesn’t happen often. When I do, I prefer a laptop keyboard because the keys are better spaced and it’s more portable.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分数: 90.0建议: Strong concise answer with a clear time reference and supporting detail. To improve further, use a linking word to connect the time and reason, and add one specific example of a practical skill to make it more vivid (e.g., touch-typing, shortcuts).
示例: I learned to type in about fifth or sixth grade as part of our computer science class, and I enjoyed it because the enthusiastic teacher taught practical skills like touch-typing and keyboard shortcuts.
How do you improve your typing?
分数: 85.0建议: Good content and clear development over time. To improve, correct minor grammar (use plural 'reports'), remove redundancy (e.g., "practiced typing a lot" repeated idea), and add a linking phrase to show cause and effect. You could mention a specific habit or tool that helped (timed typing practice, software).
示例: I didn’t practice deliberately; my typing improved during my pharmacy degree because frequent research projects and long reports forced me to type under tight deadlines, and over time I naturally became faster and more accurate—sometimes using timed typing exercises to polish my speed.
× I do not type on a daily basis because I only type when I have an assignment due, which is very rare, and when I do, I prefer a laptop keyboard because it's more spacious and easier to use.
✓ I do not type on a daily basis because I only type when I have an assignment due, which is very rare, and when I do, I prefer a laptop keyboard because it is more comfortable and easier to use.
The original sentence used 'spacious' to describe a keyboard, which is acceptable but slightly awkward; however there is a more important article/word choice issue: contraction 'it's' is informal but acceptable. To better match register and clarity, replace 'spacious' with 'comfortable'. No article change needed. Suggestion: use precise adjectives and avoid unnecessary contractions in formal responses.
× It developed naturally while I was doing my pharmacy degree, which involved many research projects and long report.
✓ It developed naturally while I was doing my pharmacy degree, which involved many research projects and long reports.
The noun 'report' should be plural 'reports' to agree with 'many research projects' and to reflect multiple written works. Use plural form when referring to more than one item. Suggestion: ensure noun number matches quantifiers like 'many'.
× I didn't try to improve my typing deliberately.
✓ I did not try to improve my typing deliberately.
This sentence uses past simple negative with contraction; grammatically correct. Correction only expands contraction for formality. Suggestion: use full forms in formal speaking or writing.
× For me, I prefer handwriting, especially for journaling and planning my daily activity because it helps me preserve memories and brainstorm ideas more creatively.
✓ For me, I prefer handwriting, especially for journaling and planning my daily activities because it helps me preserve memories and brainstorm ideas more creatively.
'Daily activity' should be plural 'daily activities' because it refers to routine multiple activities. Use plural for habitual or repeated items. Suggestion: match singular/plural with general habitual contexts.
× I learned to type around 5th or 6th grade as part of our school computer science course.
✓ I learned to type around fifth or sixth grade as part of our school computer science course.
Numbers in ordinal form are better written out for clarity in speech transcripts: '5th or 6th grade' -> 'fifth or sixth grade'. The verb 'learned' is correct past tense and past participle; no change needed there. Suggestion: spell out ordinals in formal responses.
× I enjoyed it because our teacher was enthusiastic and taught us many practical computer skills.
✓ I enjoyed it because our teacher was enthusiastic and taught us many practical computer skills.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no article changes required. Keep as is. Suggestion: none.
× As I wrote more assignments under tight deadlines, I practiced typing a lot and now I can type faster and with fewer errors.
✓ As I wrote more assignments under tight deadlines, I practiced typing a lot, and now I can type faster and with fewer errors.
Original sentence is grammatically correct; added a comma before 'and' to improve readability in compound sentence. Subject-verb agreement is fine. Suggestion: include comma before coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses for clarity.
