Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
I definitely prefer typing 'cause I think when you have to write something down, it's such a laborious thing and also it's really tedious. I don't think I will be able to have the time and energy.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
Yeah, you know, since I'm currently an English teacher, I have to assign all kinds of homework to my students. So, uh, whenever I have to write, maybe like a translation practice, I have to type it on my laptop in order to send them, uh, later.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
I guess it was at a really young age when I was, umm, primary school, like 8 years old. That is the time when I, uh, first Start learning how to type on the keyboard.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
Well, you know, practice makes perfect, so I literally type it every day in order for me to improve my typing so that I could perform better. And if I'm taking the IELTS test, umm, a real computer.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 74.0Suggestion: 回答总体明确,但存在口语化缩略、重复和冗余,句子结构也可更简洁有逻辑。建议:1) 开头用一句主题句直接回答,如“I prefer typing to handwriting.” 2) 用一到两句具体原因并使用连接词(because, so, therefore),避免重复表达(labourious/tedious)。3) 控制在3–4句内,语气更自然正式。示例要包含具体场景或对比。
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it's faster and neater. For example, when I take notes or prepare lessons, typing lets me organize and edit my ideas quickly. Therefore I rarely handwrite long texts unless I must.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 80.0Suggestion: 回答信息具体且相关,但有填充词(you know, uh, maybe)影响流畅度。建议:1) 去掉多余填充词,直接说明常用设备(laptop/desktop)并给出频率。2) 使用连接词(because, so)使句子更连贯。3) 提供一两个具体例子说明用途。
Example: I type on a laptop almost every day because I prepare and send homework to my students. For instance, I usually type translation exercises and lesson materials and then email them before class.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 回答清楚但不够简练,有犹豫语(I guess, umm, uh)且有细微语法和大小写错误。建议:1) 直接给出时间点并简要说明场景。2) 避免犹豫词,使用简单过去时或过去进行时。3) 若可能,补充学习方式(自学/课堂练习)增加信息量。
Example: I learned to type when I was about eight years old in primary school. We had basic computer lessons where the teacher taught us touch-typing and we practised regularly.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答意图明确但表达混乱和不完整,有多余短语(you know, literally)和未完成句子(最后一句)。建议:1) 用清晰的步骤或方法说明如何提高(daily practice, online courses, typing software)。2) 避免冗长重复,使用连接词(so, therefore)组织句子。3) 完成未结束的想法并提供具体例子或频率。
Example: I improve my typing by practising every day and using online typing programs to increase speed and accuracy. For example, I spend 15–20 minutes on typing drills and occasionally test my words-per-minute to track progress.
× I definitely prefer typing 'cause I think when you have to write something down, it's such a laborious thing and also it's really tedious.
✓ I definitely prefer typing because I think when you have to write something down it's very laborious and tedious.
原句中使用了冗余和口语缩写('cause)以及重复表达("such a laborious thing" 和 "really tedious")导致措辞不够规范。将 'cause 改为 because 更正式;将 "such a laborious thing and also it's really tedious" 精简为 "very laborious and tedious",避免重复和冗长。注意此处的动名词 typing 用法正确,故只作措辞和连贯性调整。
× I don't think I will be able to have the time and energy.
✓ I don't think I'll have the time or energy.
原句使用了冗长的 "be able to have the time and energy"。在表达将来否定推测时,使用缩写形式 "I'll" 更自然,并用并列连词替代冗余结构。时态保持将来(will),句子简洁且语义清晰。
× So, uh, whenever I have to write, maybe like a translation practice, I have to type it on my laptop in order to send them, uh, later.
✓ So whenever I have to write something, like a translation practice, I type it on my laptop to send to them later.
原句中动词时态和动名结构有些冗余("I have to type it ... in order to send them")。将句子简化为一般现在时 "I type... to send to them" 更符合陈述习惯。注意代词一致性:原句的 "it" 和后面的 "them" 指代不明,修为 "something" 与 "them" 一致或改为 "it to them",这里改为 "send to them" 使意思明确。
× I guess it was at a really young age when I was, umm, primary school, like 8 years old.
✓ I guess I was in primary school, about eight years old.
原句中时态混杂且词序不自然("it was at a really young age when I was primary school"),应把表达主体明确为 "I was in primary school" 并用 "about eight years old" 表示年龄。过去时 "was" 使用正确,但句子结构需要调整以更自然。
× That is the time when I, uh, first Start learning how to type on the keyboard.
✓ That was when I first started learning how to type on the keyboard.
原句中 'Start' 不应大写且动词时态不正确。描述过去的动作应使用过去时 "started",且整体句子应与前句时态一致,故改为 "That was when I first started..."。注意:虽然大写错误不在给定列表,但主要问题归入过去时错误(ID 5)。
× Well, you know, practice makes perfect, so I literally type it every day in order for me to improve my typing so that I could perform better.
✓ Well, you know, practice makes perfect, so I type every day to improve my typing and perform better.
原句中存在时态和情态不一致("type every day in order for me to improve... so that I could perform better")。表达习惯性动作用一般现在时 "I type every day";目的从句用不定式或现在时态,故改为 "to improve... and perform better",将 "could" 改为现在时态以保持一致性。
× And if I'm taking the IELTS test, umm, a real computer.
✓ And if I'm taking the IELTS test, I'll use a real computer.
原句缺少谓语("a real computer" 是不完整的补语),导致句子无谓语。根据语境,作者想表达在参加考试时会使用真实电脑,应补上谓语 "I'll use"。此外保持条件句的将来意向用 will 表示(可用 "I'll")。
