Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 65.0建议: Be more concise and reduce hesitation. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid filler words (uh, um) and unclear phrases like "it's pretty hard to find the document"—say how you organize handwritten notes vs digital files. Use a bit more varied vocabulary (e.g., "retain information", "typing speed", "file organization").
示例: I prefer handwriting because I retain information better when I write notes by hand. Moreover, my typing speed is quite slow, so writing is faster for me. Also, I find it easier to organize and review my hand-written notes than to search through digital files.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 60.0建议: Give a direct answer first, then support it with two clear reasons using linking words. Remove hesitations and complete the final sentence. Provide specific examples of tasks you do on the laptop. Improve vocabulary by using terms like "research", "assignments", "portable".
示例: I type on a laptop every day. This is because I often research information online for my studies and complete assignments that require specific software. Also, the laptop is portable, so I can work in different places like the library or a café.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分数: 70.0建议: Start with a clear time reference, then add a concise explanation with linking words. Remove repetition and filler words. Specify the age or grade if possible and describe what you learned (e.g., touch-typing, basic skills).
示例: I learned to type in primary school when I was about eight years old. In our computer class the teacher taught us basic keyboard skills and asked us to practice typing exercises in both English and Mandarin.
How do you improve your typing?
分数: 55.0建议: Avoid saying you "don't know"—offer a clear method. Provide a short plan with specific actions and linking words (e.g., regular practice, using typing software, focusing on accuracy then speed). Use more precise vocabulary like "drills", "online typing tutors", "accuracy".
示例: I improve my typing by practicing every day using online typing tutors that offer drills and timed tests. First I focus on accuracy, and then I gradually increase my speed by doing timed exercises twice a week.
× Well, uh, in fact, I prefer handwriting because, uh, using handwriting is easy for me to remember everything.
✓ Well, uh, in fact, I prefer handwriting because using it makes it easy for me to remember everything.
The original repeats 'handwriting' unnecessarily; replacing with the pronoun 'it' avoids redundancy and clarifies the object of 'using'. Use of 'makes it easy for me to remember' is a natural English structure.
× In addition, I'm not good at typing words 'cause, uh, when I'm typing I usually feel my speed is too low, and also it's pretty hard to find the document when I type it.
✓ In addition, I'm not good at typing because when I type I usually feel my speed is too slow, and it's also quite hard to find a document I have typed.
Replace informal 'cause' with 'because'. Use 'type' consistently instead of 'typing' in that clause. 'Too low' describes quantity, 'too slow' correctly describes speed. 'Find the document when I type it' is awkward; 'find a document I have typed' or 'find documents I typed' is clearer and uses correct word order.
× Uh, personally, I type on laptop every day because I have to search a lot of information on website.
✓ Uh, personally, I type on a laptop every day because I have to search for a lot of information on websites.
Add the indefinite article 'a' before 'laptop'. Use 'search for' when looking for information. Use plural 'websites' or 'the website' depending on meaning; 'websites' is more natural here.
× Or maybe I would like to, uh, I have to do some assignments using, uh, laptop.
✓ Or maybe I mean I have to do some assignments using my laptop.
The original 'Or maybe I would like to, uh,' is incomplete and confusing. Replace with 'Or maybe I mean' to signal correction, and add possessive 'my' before 'laptop' to specify which laptop.
× So this is all of my.
✓ So that's all from me.
Original is ungrammatical. 'So that's all from me' is the natural way to end a response.
× Well, I would say when I was, uh, studying, uh, primary school and we have a computer class.
✓ Well, I would say when I was studying in primary school and we had a computer class.
Use 'studying in primary school' with preposition 'in'. The action is in the past, so 'have' should be past tense 'had'.
× So that teacher required us to use a use keyboard to type the words and and especially in English and Mandarin.
✓ The teacher required us to use a keyboard to type words, especially in English and Mandarin.
Remove redundant 'that' and duplicate 'use'. Use definite article 'the' before 'teacher' if referring to a specific one; 'a keyboard' is correct. Remove the extra 'and' and simplify structure.
× Uh, actually I don't know how to improve a lot.
✓ Uh, actually I don't know how to improve much.
Use 'much' with 'improve' in negative sentences. 'Improve a lot' is informal and awkward here.
× However, I think you just do do it every day and then you can improve a lot.
✓ However, I think you just do it every day, and then you can improve a lot.
Remove duplicate 'do'. The verb pattern 'do it every day' is correct. Keep comma before 'and' joining independent clauses.
× So overall it is not a big deal for me to type words.
✓ So overall it is not a big deal for me to type.
'Type words' is redundant; 'to type' is sufficient and more natural. Keep sentence concise.
