Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分數: 56.0建議: Speak more clearly and concisely. Start with a direct topic sentence (e.g., “I prefer typing to handwriting.”), then give two specific, coherent reasons using linking words. Reduce hesitations and correct grammar (e.g., “typing is faster” and “typing improves accuracy” instead of unclear phrases). Keep answers within 3–4 sentences.
範例: I prefer typing to handwriting. Firstly, typing is much faster, so I can finish notes and essays more quickly. Secondly, typing often leads to neater, more accurate text because spellcheck and backspace make corrections easier. For these reasons, I usually choose typing over handwriting.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分數: 60.0建議: Answer directly and eliminate filler words. Use correct verb forms and a clear structure: topic sentence + brief supporting detail. Mention frequency and purpose to add specificity. Avoid repeating phrases.
範例: I usually type on a laptop keyboard every day. I use it mostly to write essays and to study online courses. Because my laptop is portable, I can work in different places like the library or a café.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分數: 62.0建議: Provide a clear time reference and smoother explanation. Use linking words to connect ideas and correct collocations (e.g., “primary school” not “the primary school”; “taught” not “touched”). Be specific about age or grade and what you learned to add concreteness.
範例: I learned to type when I was in primary school, around the age of nine. At that time, computer lessons were part of the curriculum, and we were taught basic typing skills and how to use word-processing programs.
How do you improve your typing?
分數: 68.0建議: Give a direct method plus a brief explanation of results. Use correct vocabulary (e.g., “typing” not “tapping”; “speed” not “spade”). Mention specific tools or practice routines and link cause and effect. Keep it to 2–3 clear sentences.
範例: I improve my typing by practising regularly with online typing tests and exercises. These tools track my speed and accuracy, so I can focus on weak keys and gradually increase my words-per-minute. I also practice touch-typing for 15–20 minutes a day to build consistency.
× I prefer to typing, uh, the, the most important reason is typing is umm, uh, faster and uh, the infection say will be, uh, improved.
✓ I prefer typing. The most important reason is typing is faster and my input speed will be improved.
The verb 'prefer' should be followed by a gerund (verb+ing) without 'to' in this structure, so 'prefer typing' is correct. 'To typing' is incorrect. Also 'the infection say' is unclear and likely intended to be 'input speed' or 'efficiency'; I replaced it with 'my input speed'. Split the run-on sentence into two sentences for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'prefer + -ing' (e.g., 'I prefer typing') and avoid inserting 'to' before the gerund; use clear nouns for results (e.g., 'speed' or 'efficiency').
× And uh, the second reason compared handwriting typing is less.
✓ The second reason is that typing is less tiring compared with handwriting.
This sentence is ungrammatical and unclear. 'Compared handwriting typing is less' lacks structure and an object/adjective. I added 'is that' to introduce an explanation and included a clear adjective 'tiring' to complete the comparison. Suggestion: Use 'compared with' or 'compared to' and provide the quality being compared (e.g., 'less tiring', 'less error-prone').
× Yeah, umm, actually I usually umm, tap on the laptop keyboard every day, uh, in order to finished my essays and finish to uh, studying, umm, some courses.
✓ Actually, I usually type on the laptop keyboard every day in order to finish my essays and study some courses.
'Tap on' is colloquial but 'type' is more appropriate. 'Finished' is past tense but needs the base form after 'in order to' (infinitive): 'finish'. 'Finish to studying' is incorrect; use 'study' (base form) or 'study for some courses'. Suggestion: Use 'in order to' + base verb (infinitive), and use 'type' for keyboard input.
× So, uh, I really umm, I used to be umm, type on.
✓ I used to type on a keyboard regularly.
The original is incomplete and contains unnecessary fillers. 'Used to be type on' mixes 'used to' with passive/active forms incorrectly. The intended meaning appears to be past habitual action: use 'I used to type on a keyboard.' Suggestion: Keep sentences concise and avoid redundant fillers like 'umm' when forming written responses.
× I learned how to tap on the keyboard skill when I was in the primary school.
✓ I learned keyboard typing skills when I was in primary school.
'Learned how to tap on the keyboard skill' is awkward. Use noun phrase 'keyboard typing skills' or 'how to type on a keyboard.' 'In the primary school' should be 'in primary school' without the article in general statements. Suggestion: Use 'learned how to + verb' or 'learned + noun phrase' and omit unnecessary articles with school levels.
× As you know, the majority of primary school in China, uh, call has some computer lessons that in that course, uh, some, uh, typing skills will be touched.
✓ As you know, the majority of primary schools in China have some computer lessons, and in those courses typing skills are taught.
Several errors: 'the majority of primary school' should be 'majority of primary schools' (plural and no article before 'majority' optional) — this is a singular/plural and article issue. 'Call has' is incorrect; should be 'have' to agree with plural 'schools'. 'Typing skills will be touched' is a wrong verb choice; use 'are taught'. Also 'that in that course' is redundant; use 'in those courses.' Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement and use appropriate verbs ('teach' not 'touch').
× Well, in my opinion, the effective perspective to implement tapping skill is a regular practice.
✓ Well, in my opinion, an effective way to improve typing skills is regular practice.
The phrase 'the effective perspective to implement tapping skill' is unnatural. Use 'an effective way to improve typing skills' or 'the most effective way to develop typing skills'. 'Tapping' is better as 'typing.' Suggestion: Use natural collocations like 'an effective way to improve' and 'typing skills.'
× I I use the typing test online typing test software to build spade speed and accuracy for typing.
✓ I use online typing test software to build speed and accuracy in typing.
Repeated 'I I' and redundant 'typing test online typing test software' need simplification. 'Spade speed' is a typo for 'speed.' Use 'build speed and accuracy in typing' or 'improve typing speed and accuracy.' Suggestion: Remove repetition, order adjectives properly ('online typing test software') and choose correct vocabulary ('speed' not 'spade').
