Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
It depends on the circumstances, but mostly I prefer handwriting, be it on paper, pen or on my iPad. But the handwriting gives a feeling of stronger connection between pen and the mind, so yeah.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
考生
I type on my laptop keyboard every day since it is easy to carry and carrying around next door is difficult since I mostly have to travel from work, college and sampling areas field work.
考官
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
考生
I think I learned typing on a keyboard pretty quick around when I was in 6th grade. We had computer classes in our school and we used to sit on the computer lab every week.

How do you improve your typing?
考生
I think the key to improve typing is to use the appropriate fingers to the corresponding letters and make sure you're doing it right and then slowly you can build up with the paste. You can also learn via several gaming keep typing games online.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 72.0建议: Be more concise and use clearer linking to support your preference. Start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words (for example, because / for instance). Avoid vague phrases like "so yeah."
示例: I generally prefer handwriting because it helps me remember ideas better and feels more personal. For example, when I take notes in lectures I retain information longer if I write by hand, and sketching diagrams on paper is easier than typing.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 65.0建议: Make your answer more natural by starting with a clear topic sentence and then giving concise, specific reasons. Remove redundant phrases and correct small grammar issues (e.g. "carrying around next door is difficult" is unclear). Use linking words such as "because" or "since."
示例: I type on my laptop every day because it is portable and convenient for my routine. Since I travel between work, college and field sampling sites, a laptop lets me work wherever I am.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分数: 78.0建议: Answer directly with a clear time reference, then give one specific detail about how you learned. Avoid uncertain language like "I think" or "pretty quick." Use linking words like "because" or "when."
示例: I learned to type when I was in sixth grade during weekly computer classes at school. Those regular lessons in the computer lab helped me practice touch-typing and improved my speed.
How do you improve your typing?
分数: 68.0建议: Give a clearer, structured response: state one main method, explain how you practice it with specific steps or tools, and mention an example. Avoid unclear words like "paste" and awkward phrasing. Use linking words such as "first," "then," and "also."
示例: To improve typing, I focus on learning proper finger placement first and then practice regularly to build speed. For example, I do 15 minutes of guided drills on a typing website every day and play typing games to make practice more engaging.
× It depends on the circumstances, but mostly I prefer handwriting, be it on paper, pen or on my iPad.
✓ It depends on the circumstances, but mostly I prefer handwriting, be it on paper, on a pen or on my iPad.
The sentence incorrectly mixes prepositional forms and articles. Use 'on paper', 'on a pen' (or better 'with a pen') and 'on my iPad' consistently. Suggest using 'with a pen' instead of 'on a pen' for natural phrasing: 'handwriting on paper, with a pen or on my iPad.'
× But the handwriting gives a feeling of stronger connection between pen and the mind, so yeah.
✓ But handwriting gives a stronger feeling of connection between the pen and the mind.
Use consistent article use and word order. 'The handwriting gives a feeling of stronger connection' is awkward. 'Handwriting gives a stronger feeling of connection between the pen and the mind' is clearer. The verb 'gives' is fine with singular 'handwriting' so this mainly fixes word order and articles.
× I type on my laptop keyboard every day since it is easy to carry and carrying around next door is difficult since I mostly have to travel from work, college and sampling areas field work.
✓ I type on my laptop keyboard every day because it is easy to carry, and carrying it around to different places is difficult since I mostly have to travel between work, college and field sampling areas.
Problems: incorrect prepositions ('next door' wrong), missing object ('carry' needs 'it'), and poor word order. Replace 'since' with 'because' for clarity and use 'travel between' for multiple locations. 'Field sampling areas' is clearer than 'sampling areas field work.'
× I think I learned typing on a keyboard pretty quick around when I was in 6th grade.
✓ I think I learned to type on a keyboard pretty quickly when I was in sixth grade.
Use 'learned to type' (verb + infinitive) rather than 'learned typing', adverb 'quickly' not 'quick', and 'sixth' spelled out. 'Around' is unnecessary and removed for clarity.
× We had computer classes in our school and we used to sit on the computer lab every week.
✓ We had computer classes at our school and we used to sit in the computer lab every week.
Use 'at school' for location and 'sit in the lab' (not 'on the lab'). 'At our school' is the natural preposition; 'in the computer lab' indicates being inside the room.
× I think the key to improve typing is to use the appropriate fingers to the corresponding letters and make sure you're doing it right and then slowly you can build up with the paste.
✓ I think the key to improving typing is to use the appropriate fingers on the corresponding letters and make sure you're doing it right; then slowly you can build up speed.
Use 'to improving' (gerund after 'key to'), 'on the corresponding letters' is the correct preposition, and 'build up speed' is intended—'paste' is incorrect. Also split into clearer clauses.
× You can also learn via several gaming keep typing games online.
✓ You can also learn via several keep-typing games online.
Awkward word order and extra word 'gaming'. Use a noun phrase 'keep-typing games' or 'typing games' and 'via' is acceptable but 'through' or 'by playing' is more natural: 'You can also learn by playing typing games online.'
