打字— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be more concise and organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting reasons. Avoid repetition (e.g., “more used to typing than I'm used to handwriting”) and correct small grammar slips. Use linking words like “because” and “for example” to make your explanation coherent.

範例: I prefer typing to handwriting because I grew up using electronic devices and find typing faster and neater. For example, when I make a mistake on a computer I can quickly select and delete the error, whereas with handwriting I often have to cross things out, which looks messy.

建議: Start with a direct topic sentence and then give one specific reason with a linking phrase. Avoid redundancy (e.g., “on a daily basis” and “every single day” both say the same). Replace vague phrases like “academic reasons” with a concrete example to strengthen the response.

範例: Yes, I use a laptop every day. I need it for my university assignments and for a research project where I write reports and analyze data, so I often type for several hours each day.

建議: Provide a clear, concise answer first (age), then add one or two relevant details. Avoid contradictory or unclear phrasing (e.g., “not a real laptop, but a gaming laptop” is confusing). Keep to natural language and avoid filler like “That's it.”

範例: I started typing at about six years old when my grandmother gave me a simple gaming laptop. I learned by playing educational typing games and practising short sentences, which helped me get comfortable with the keyboard early on.

建議: Give a concise recommendation with specific, actionable steps and correct grammar (e.g., “make as few mistakes as possible”). Use linking words to structure the steps (first, then, finally). Avoid repetition.

範例: To improve typing, I would practise for short focused sessions of 20–30 minutes daily using online typing exercises. First, I concentrate on accuracy rather than speed, using lessons that force me to avoid looking at the keys. Then I gradually increase speed and time, and finally I track my progress to stay motivated.

× I definitely prefer typing since I've always used electronic devices to do my work to play games, and so I'm more used to typing than I'm used to handwriting.

✓ I definitely prefer typing since I've always used electronic devices to do my work and play games, so I'm more used to typing than to handwriting.

The original sentence has an awkward structure: 'to do my work to play games' incorrectly repeats 'to'. The correction joins parallel verbs with 'and' and uses parallel prepositional phrases ('to typing' and 'to handwriting') for clarity. Also 'so' replaces the conjunction chain for smoother flow. Suggestion: Keep parallel verb forms when listing actions and parallel prepositional phrases when comparing preferences.

× And the problem that comes with handwriting is that when I write, if I make a mistake, I cut it, or I erase it and then I overwrite it again before typing.

✓ The problem with handwriting is that when I write and make a mistake, I cross it out or erase it and then overwrite it before typing.

Use 'the problem with handwriting' rather than 'the problem that comes with handwriting' for concision. 'Cut it' is not the correct collocation for correcting handwriting; 'cross it out' is idiomatic. Also 'if I make a mistake' is simplified to 'and make a mistake' for natural flow, and 'overwrite it again' is redundant; 'overwrite it' suffices. Suggestion: Use idiomatic expressions for editing handwriting and avoid redundant words.

× You can just select what you got wrong and then you can replace it easily by typing.

✓ You can just select what you got wrong and replace it easily by typing.

The original repeats the modal phrase 'you can' unnecessarily. Removing the second 'you can' produces a more concise and natural sentence. Also 'replace it easily by typing' is acceptable but 'replace it easily by typing' is kept; optionally 'and replace it easily by typing' flows well. Suggestion: Avoid repeating auxiliary/modal verbs when they are understood.

× Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every single day because I'm at a stage where I need to use laptops on a daily basis for my university work, for academic reasons, and also because I'm working on a research project which requires a lot of typing.

✓ Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every single day because I'm at a stage where I need to use a laptop daily for my university work and academic reasons, and because I'm working on a research project that requires a lot of typing.

Use singular 'a laptop' when referring to personal device use in general rather than the plural 'laptops'. 'Which' is acceptable but 'that' is more natural in restrictive clauses in spoken English. The original had no strict third-person singular verb errors, but contained number agreement between 'laptops' and context. Suggestion: Match singular/plural to the intended meaning; use 'a laptop' for a typical personal device.

× When I learned how to type in a keyboard at a very young age, probably around when I was 6, that was the time when I got a laptop as a gift from my grandmother.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard at a very young age, probably around when I was six, because that was when I got a laptop as a gift from my grandmother.

Use 'on a keyboard' not 'in a keyboard'. Remove unnecessary 'When' at the start and restructure to a clearer sentence: 'I learned...' Also write numbers under ten as words in formal writing ('six'). 'Because that was when...' clarifies cause and time. Suggestion: Use correct preposition 'on' with 'keyboard' and avoid redundant temporal clauses.

× It was not a real laptop, but a gaming laptop, which was digital and just had games and music to play.

✓ It was not a regular laptop but a simple gaming device that only had games and music to play.

Calling a gaming laptop 'digital' is redundant and unclear; almost all laptops are digital. 'Just had' is informal; 'only had' is clearer. 'Gaming laptop' conflicts with 'not a real laptop'; 'gaming device' or 'toy laptop' fits better if the device was limited. Suggestion: Choose vocabulary that accurately describes the device; avoid redundant adjectives.

× There are numerous ways to improve typing, but in my opinion the best way to type would be to practice typing within a specific period of time and make and make sure you make as less mistakes as possible.

✓ There are numerous ways to improve typing, but in my opinion the best method is to practice for set periods of time and make sure you make as few mistakes as possible.

Use 'method' or 'way' consistently and 'practice for set periods of time' is more natural than 'practice typing within a specific period of time'. 'Make and make sure' repeats 'make' erroneously. Use 'as few mistakes as possible' (countable noun 'mistakes') not 'as less mistakes as possible'. Suggestion: Avoid repetition and use 'few' with countable nouns; keep verb forms parallel.

× And you keep on practicing it for weeks in order to get a very good outcome out of it and not make mistakes.

✓ Then keep practicing for weeks to achieve good results and reduce mistakes.

'Keep on practicing it' is verbose; 'keep practicing' is idiomatic. 'Get a very good outcome out of it' is wordy; 'achieve good results' is concise. 'Not make mistakes' is absolute and unlikely; 'reduce mistakes' is more realistic and natural. Suggestion: Use concise expressions and avoid absolutes when suggesting improvement strategies.
