× Actually I almost type on desktop keyboard every day because I get used to it and it's a black one.
✓ Actually I almost type on a desktop keyboard every day because I got used to it and it's a black one.
句中缺少定冠词或不定冠词。“desktop keyboard”前应加不定冠词“a”。另外原句时态问题:前文说“every day”表示习惯,应使用一般现在时“get used to”;但更自然的表达是“I'm used to it”或“I got used to it”。这里选择改为“got used to it”会改变含义,若保留习惯意图应改为“I'm used to it”。建议根据语境使用“I'm used to it”(我习惯它)。
× But sometimes I do type laptop keyboard if I'm outside.
✓ But sometimes I do type on a laptop keyboard if I'm outside.
在可数名词“laptop keyboard”前需要不定冠词“a”,并且习惯性活动应加介词“on”:"type on a laptop keyboard"。此外保留条件从句 "if I'm outside" 是正确的。建议记住:可数单数名词前需用a/an或the。
× When I was in elementary school, I had a computer class which taught us how to type and we actually follow a particular system.
✓ When I was in elementary school, I had a computer class which taught us how to type and we actually followed a particular system.
句子中时态不一致:主句是过去时(When I was…, I had…, which taught…),后半句“we actually follow”应使用过去时“followed”以保持时态一致。建议在描述过去发生的事情时全句使用过去时。
× After class. I practice a lot to improve my typing speed.
✓ After class, I practised a lot to improve my typing speed.
原文有断句错误(句号后紧接主句),且时态应为过去式以对应前文“When I was in elementary school”。因此应合并为一句并将“practice”改为过去式“practised”(美式拼写为practiced)。建议注意句子连贯及时态一致性。
× However, I still think handwriting is important for people because it help them to know how to write correctly and beautifully and.
✓ However, I still think handwriting is important for people because it helps them to know how to write correctly and beautifully.
主语“it”(handwriting)是第三人称单数,谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式“helps”。原句末尾多了“and.”且句尾不完整,应删除多余的“and”。建议复查主谓一致并避免句尾残句。
× I actually prefer typing because I use it a lot for work and study.
✓ I actually prefer typing because I use it a lot for work and study.
该句本身语法正确,使用一般现在时表达习惯,无需更改。此处列出以表明已检查并符合时态要求。
× To be honest, nothing fancy, I improve my typing mainly by everyday practicing because I use keyboard a lot for work and study, so I think that is the main reason why I can lift up my typing speed and accuracy.
✓ To be honest, nothing fancy — I improve my typing mainly by practising every day because I use the keyboard a lot for work and study, so I think that is the main reason why I have been able to increase my typing speed and accuracy.
原句中存在多处问题: 1) “everyday practicing”搭配不当,应改为“practising every day”或“daily practice”。 2) 可数名词“keyboard”前需加定冠词或不定冠词,这里用“the keyboard”或“a keyboard”。 3) “lift up my typing speed”是不自然的表达,建议用“increase my typing speed”或“improve my typing speed”。 4) 时态应与经历相匹配,若强调过程可用现在完成进行时或现在完成时“I have been able to increase”或“I have increased”。建议使用现在完成时表明从过去到现在的结果。以上修改遵循时态和搭配的正确使用。
