Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Candidate
Or handwriting well, and it's an interesting question. I actually prefer the old school way as I can write it more because I think when you handwrite you tend to process the information more conclusively. But when you are typing, sometimes you lose focus. But typing is definitely more efficient and the more convenient.
Examiner
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Candidate
It must be a laptop because I'm a university student and I need to use my computer in many different areas such as the library, the classroom and even in my accommodation, so I need to bring to it everywhere. If I use the desktop, I can't remember how hard it will be.
Examiner
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Candidate
I was 10 and still in primary school because we had a class named Computer science. The teacher in this in this class taught us how to temp and use the computer. So my temping ability was improved in this class.
Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
I improve my tapping by practicing a little everyday because I don't have much time for lunch sessions. Usually I do short online draws or practice while doing homework, which has gradually increased my speed and accuracy.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 回答要更直接并保持简洁,避免重复与语法错误。开头应直接表明偏好,然后用1–2句具体理由支持,并用连接词使逻辑更清晰。如注意时态与冠词,用更恰当的词汇(efficient, convenient, retain information, concentrate)。
Example: I prefer handwriting because it helps me retain information and concentrate better. However, typing is more efficient and convenient for long documents, so I usually handwrite notes and type up final versions.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答要更简洁并修正表达错误。直接说出习惯(laptop),然后给出1–2个具体原因,避免不清楚或模糊的句子(例如“If I use the desktop, I can't remember how hard it will be.”不明确)。使用连接词如 because, so, for example 来增强连贯性。
Example: I type on a laptop every day because I'm a university student and I need to work in the library, classroom and my accommodation. A laptop is portable and more convenient than a desktop for moving between places.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 注意语法、拼写和句子连贯性。直接回答时间(At age 10),然后说明原因或背景(computer class)并举例说明学到的技能。纠正拼写错误(typing, typing speed)并避免重复短语。
Example: I learned to type when I was about ten in primary school. We had a computer science class where the teacher showed us basic typing techniques, which helped improve my typing speed and accuracy.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 更正拼写并使细节更具体。直接说明方法(短时练习、在线练习、打字软件),并用连接词说明频率和效果。避免模糊词汇(draws),用具体工具或时间长度来增强说服力。
Example: I improve my typing by practicing a little every day using online typing exercises and apps for 10–15 minutes. I also type while doing assignments, which has gradually increased my speed and accuracy.
× Or handwriting well, and it's an interesting question.
✓ Handwriting. It's an interesting question.
句子以“Or”开头并且连接不当,导致句子片段和连词混用。应直接用完整句子表达“手写”,并把后半句作为独立句子。建议去掉不必要的连词或重写为完整句。
× I actually prefer the old school way as I can write it more because I think when you handwrite you tend to process the information more conclusively.
✓ I actually prefer the old-school way because I can write more, and I think when you handwrite you tend to process information more thoroughly.
“old school”作形容词应连字符;“write it more”中的“it”不明确,应删除;“conclusively”用词不当,语境需强调‘更彻底/更深入’,用“thoroughly”更合适。建议注意形容词连字符、避免多余代词并选择语境合适的副词。
× But when you are typing, sometimes you lose focus.
✓ When you type, sometimes you lose focus.
句首连词“But”在此句可省略以更自然衔接;动词时态与一般现在习惯性动作一致,使用“type”更简洁。建议避免句首不必要的连词并使用一般现在时表达习惯性动作。
× But typing is definitely more efficient and the more convenient.
✓ But typing is definitely more efficient and more convenient.
比较级结构中应保持并列一致,不能在第二个形容词前加定冠词“the”。应使用“more convenient”。建议在并列比较级中保持形式一致,去掉多余定冠词。
× It must be a laptop because I'm a university student and I need to use my computer in many different areas such as the library, the classroom and even in my accommodation, so I need to bring to it everywhere.
✓ It must be a laptop because I'm a university student and I need to use my computer in many places such as the library, the classroom and even my accommodation, so I need to bring it everywhere.
“bring to it everywhere”词序和介词使用错误,应为“bring it everywhere”;“in my accommodation”常说法是“my accommodation”或“where I live”;“many different areas”可简化为“many places”。建议注意代词位置和介词的搭配。
× If I use the desktop, I can't remember how hard it will be.
✓ If I used a desktop, I can't remember how hard it would be to carry it around.
原句时态和表达不清晰。“can't remember how hard it will be”语义模糊。根据上下文应表达“要是用台式机,我记不得搬运会有多困难”,用条件句并保持时态一致,或改为“would be”。建议理顺条件句时态并补全缺失成分。
× I was 10 and still in primary school because we had a class named Computer science.
✓ I was 10 and still in primary school because we had a class called Computer Science.
“named”可接受但“called”更自然;专有名词“Computer Science”应大写。时态本身正确。建议使用更自然的表达并注意专有名词大小写。
× The teacher in this in this class taught us how to temp and use the computer.
✓ The teacher in that class taught us how to type and use the computer.
“in this in this”重复,应改为“that class”;“temp”拼写错误,应该是“type”。建议注意重复词和单词拼写。
× So my temping ability was improved in this class.
✓ So my typing ability improved in that class.
“temping”拼写错误并且不常用,应为“typing”;被动结构“was improved”在这里不如主动“improved”自然。建议用正确拼写并用主动形式表达能力提高。
× I improve my tapping by practicing a little everyday because I don't have much time for lunch sessions.
✓ I improve my typing by practising a little every day because I don't have much time for long practice sessions.
“tapping”应为“typing”;“everyday”用作副词短语应写为“every day”;“lunch sessions”与上下文不符,可能想表达“长时间练习”,用“long practice sessions”。建议注意单词选择和副词拼写。
× Usually I do short online draws or practice while doing homework, which has gradually increased my speed and accuracy.
✓ Usually I do short online drills or practice while doing homework, which has gradually increased my speed and accuracy.
“draws”拼写/用词错误,应为“drills”(练习);动名词形式“doing homework”正确。建议使用正确词汇以准确表达练习类型。
