Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
I prefer typing because my handwriting is often messy and hard to read, so typing is much faster and more efficient for taking notes or writing emails. For example, when I study or work, I can type quickly, edit documents easily, and share them for collaboration, which saves me a lot of time and improves my productivity.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
I use a laptop every day because it's portable and convenient. I can take it with me when I'm commuting or walking in a cafe or library, so it's easy to finish projects, check emails, and do quick edits on the go.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
I learned to type on the keyboard a few years ago when I wanted to improve my computer skills. So I practiced touch typing with my brother for several weeks and used an online typing tutor to build speed and accuracy. So now I can type fairly quickly and accurately, which saves me a lot of time on schoolwork.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
I hired a teacher to help me improve my typing technique and accuracy, and as a result, I can now type much more quickly and accurately, which saves me a lot of time on schoolwork and at my job. I usually practice with online drills for about 20 minutes a day, focusing on touch typing and correcting common mistakes.
