Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Bạn trả lời trực tiếp và dễ hiểu nhưng còn lắm lỗi nhỏ về ngữ pháp, phát âm (nhiều ngập ngừng), và thiếu chi tiết cụ thể. Cụ thể: tránh lặp từ (“typing” lặp nhiều), sửa lỗi số nhiều/ít (“sometime” → “sometimes”), dùng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng rồi thêm 1–2 chi tiết hỗ trợ kèm liên từ để mạch lạc hơn. Giữ độ dài không quá 5 câu.
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because typing is faster and less tiring. For example, I can edit and save documents easily on my computer, which makes my work more efficient. Also, typing helps me when I need to write long essays or emails.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời hiểu được nhưng có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp và lặp từ (“I I”, “so I type in the keyboard”), cấu trúc câu thiếu mạch lạc. Cần mở đầu bằng câu chủ đề ngắn, sau đó giải thích lý do với liên từ thích hợp và tránh thừa từ. Sử dụng từ vựng chính xác: “desktop computer” và “laptop” hoặc “on my laptop’s keyboard”.
Example: I use a laptop keyboard every day because we don't have a desktop computer at home. Since I do most of my work and study on my laptop, it is the only convenient option for typing.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có ý nhưng thiếu rõ ràng và nhiều ngập ngừng, câu phụ rối và không cụ thể. Cần nói rõ thời điểm với cấu trúc đơn giản và giải thích ngắn gọn, tránh từ vô nghĩa như “it” không xác định. Thay “we need to learn a subject, called it” bằng tên hoặc mô tả rõ hơn (ví dụ: a basic computer class).
Example: I learned to type when I was about six or seven years old. At primary school we had a basic computer class where we were taught typing skills, so that’s when I started practicing regularly.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời quá ngập ngừng, thiếu chi tiết cụ thể về phương pháp cải thiện. Nên trả lời bằng câu chủ đề rồi nêu 2–3 phương pháp cụ thể (ví dụ: luyện qua trang web, phần mềm, thực hành gõ văn bản, đặt mục tiêu tốc độ/độ chính xác) và dùng liên từ để nối ý. Tránh nói “I don't remember that name”; thay bằng mô tả loại trang web.
Example: I improve my typing by practising regularly on online typing websites and using typing tutor software. For instance, I spend 15 minutes a day completing typing lessons and timed tests to increase both my speed and accuracy.
× Actually I prefer typing because sometime writing makes me feel tired and I think typing is more convenient.
✓ Actually I prefer typing because sometimes writing makes me feel tired and I think typing is more convenient.
The word 'sometime' is incorrect; the correct adverb for 'on some occasions' is 'sometimes'. Use plural form 'sometimes'. Ensure adverbs of frequency are used correctly.
× I type on the laptop keyboard because there is not desktop in my house so I I need to use laptop so I type in the keyboard.
✓ I type on the laptop keyboard because there is no desktop in my house, so I need to use a laptop and type on its keyboard.
Multiple issues: 'there is not desktop' is wrong; use 'there is no desktop' (negative with 'no') or 'there isn't a desktop' (contraction). Missing article before 'laptop' requires 'a laptop'. 'I I' is repetition. Use 'type on the keyboard' or 'type on its keyboard' for clarity. Ensure correct article and preposition usage.
× I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was about umm, 6 or 7 years old, because at that time we need to uh, learn a subject, called it so umm, but we cannot do anything more than typing.
✓ I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was about six or seven years old, because at that time we needed to learn a subject called typing, but we could not do anything more than type.
Tense consistency: main clause uses past 'learned', so following verbs should be past tense: 'need' -> 'needed', 'cannot' -> 'could not'. Use 'called typing' instead of 'called it'. Use base verb 'type' after 'do anything more than'. Spell out numbers in speech optional: 'six or seven'.
× Umm, when I learn typing, umm, I often go to a website. I don't remember that name, but umm, it provides uh, like a article to type.
✓ When I was learning typing, I often went to a website. I don't remember its name, but it provided an article to type.
Tense mismatch and form: 'when I learn typing' should match past learning: 'when I was learning typing' or 'when I learned to type'. 'Provides' should be past 'provided' to match past context. Article use: 'a article' is incorrect; use 'an article' before a vowel sound. Also 'like' is filler and unnecessary; 'its name' clearer than 'that name'.
