Examiner
How do you improve your typing?
Candidate
Actually I haven't improve my typing in purpose, just sometimes prepare my assignment. I will use the keyboard to type and naturally I improve my typing skills.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Be concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting reasons with linking words. Use accurate grammar (e.g., "faster" not "more fast") and vary vocabulary (e.g., "editing" instead of repeating "fast").
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and more convenient. For example, I can quickly edit and reorganize my ideas on a computer or phone, which saves time when I write assignments or messages.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Answer directly at the start (e.g., "I usually type on my smartphone."), then give one clear supporting detail. Avoid awkward word order and redundant phrasing. Use linking words like "so" or "because" to connect reason and example, and keep sentences short.
Example: I usually type on my smartphone rather than a desktop or laptop. Because much of my daily communication is through messaging apps, I often edit and send messages on my phone instead of using a computer.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Start with a simple time phrase (e.g., "I learned to type in primary school.") then add one or two specific supporting details. Use connectors like "so" or "therefore" appropriately and avoid unnecessary words like "actually" at the start.
Example: I learned to type in primary school when I attended computer classes. The teacher taught us basic typing skills and often gave homework, which helped me improve quickly.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Provide a direct answer first (e.g., "I improve mainly through regular practice.") then give a specific method or example. Use correct tense and collocation ("improve my typing on purpose" should be "improve my typing on purpose" or "intentionally"). Mention concrete practice activities to show control.
Example: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice when I write assignments or messages. For instance, typing essays for school and using my phone for messaging have helped me get faster and more accurate over time.
× Actually I prefer typing because it is more fast, convenient and fast way to edit my words.
✓ Actually I prefer typing because it is a faster and more convenient way to edit my words.
Use of comparative 'faster' (not 'more fast') and parallel adjective structure. 'Fast' needs comparative form 'faster' to compare methods; when listing two adjectives modifying 'way', use 'and' and put 'more' only before multi-syllable adjectives like 'convenient'. Ensure adjectives are in the same form for parallelism.
× Actually, not very often will I need to prepare my assignment or I need to prepare the presentation.
✓ Actually, I do not often need to prepare assignments or presentations.
The original has awkward inversion and repetition. Use a standard negative frequency expression 'do not often' and pluralize countable nouns 'assignments' and 'presentations' to sound natural and match general situations.
× I have to type and from my daily life I usually type on the keyboard of my smartphone and edit some message to my friend.
✓ I often type on my smartphone keyboard in my daily life and edit messages to my friends.
Use 'on my smartphone keyboard' not 'on the keyboard of my smartphone' for natural phrasing; 'in my daily life' fits better than 'from my daily life'. 'Some message' should be plural 'messages' and 'to my friend' should be plural or 'to a friend' depending on meaning. Also simplify word order for clarity.
× Actually, I still remember that when I was in my primary school and I had to join the computer classes.
✓ Actually, I still remember that when I was in primary school I had to take computer classes.
Use 'in primary school' rather than 'in my primary school'. 'Join the computer classes' is unnatural; 'take computer classes' or 'attend computer classes' is correct. Remove the extra conjunction 'and' to avoid run-on structure.
× So the computer teacher would teach us how to type and she sometimes left some homework to ask, which was helpful.
✓ The computer teacher taught us how to type and sometimes gave us homework, which was helpful.
Use consistent past tense 'taught' rather than 'would teach' for a specific past routine. 'Left some homework to ask' is incorrect; native phrasing is 'gave us homework'. Streamline pronoun use and verb forms for clarity.
× Actually I haven't improve my typing in purpose, just sometimes prepare my assignment.
✓ Actually I haven't improved my typing on purpose; I just sometimes prepare my assignments.
After 'have' use past participle 'improved' not base 'improve'. 'In purpose' is incorrect; use 'on purpose' or better 'intentionally' but here meaning is 'not intentionally' so 'not intentionally' could be used. Pluralize 'assignments' for generality.
× I will use the keyboard to type and naturally I improve my typing skills.
✓ I use the keyboard to type and naturally I improve my typing skills.
Use present simple 'I use' to describe habitual actions rather than future 'I will use'. 'Naturally I improve' is acceptable but present simple keeps consistency: 'I use the keyboard to type, so naturally I improve my typing skills.'
