Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Well, actually depends. I like typing because it's faster and more convenient, but in handwriting because, well, it's the original way to write and it's also good for your eye protection.

Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Thí sinh
Yes, 'cause in our school we usually do our works on a laptop. So yeah, I do. I do type a lot, but I think I still need to practice my typing skill because I think it's still a bit slower than the others.

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Điểm: 73.0Gợi ý: 回答要更直接并保持句子简洁;避免重复和口头填充词(如 "well", "actually", "because" 过多);补充一两条具体理由并用连接词使逻辑更清晰(例如:‘however’ 或 ‘on the other hand’)。
Ví dụ: I prefer typing because it is faster and more convenient for editing. However, I still sometimes write by hand because handwriting helps me remember information better and can be easier on my eyes when reading notes.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 回答应更有条理:先直接回答,再说明原因并给具体细节;减少重复(如两次说‘I do’和‘I think’);用量化或具体描述增强说服力(例如每天打字多长时间或打字速度的比较)。
Ví dụ: Yes, I type on a laptop every day because most of our schoolwork is done online. I type for about three hours a day, but my speed is around 40 words per minute, so I still practise to catch up with my classmates.

× Well, actually depends.
✓ Well, actually it depends.
原句缺少主语“it”。英语中常用“it depends”表示“这取决于……”,因此应补上“it”。建议牢记常用固定表达并确保主语完整。
× but in handwriting because, well, it's the original way to write and it's also good for your eye protection.
✓ but handwriting is the original way to write and it's also good for protecting your eyes.
原句中用“in handwriting”与语境不自然,且“good for your eye protection”表达笨拙。改为“handwriting is...”更清晰,同时用“protecting your eyes”更地道。建议学习常用搭配,如“good for + -ing”。
× in our school we usually do our works on a laptop.
✓ at our school we usually do our work on a laptop.
“do our works”不自然,英语中“work”在此为不可数名词,表示学习或作业整体,应使用“work”。同时地点介词用“at our school”。建议注意可数/不可数名词用法。
× I do type a lot, but I think I still need to practice my typing skill because I think it's still a bit slower than the others.
✓ I do type a lot, but I think I still need to practice my typing skills because I think I'm still a bit slower than others.
原句“typing skill”应用复数“typing skills”更自然;比较时主语和比较对象要清晰,用“I'm...slower than others”而非“the others”。建议在比较时注意代词和复数形式。
× Well, it's actually two years ago when I first went to Portugal, and it was also the first time I know that we could actually use a laptop to study at school.
✓ Well, it was actually two years ago when I first went to Portugal, and it was also the first time I knew that we could use a laptop to study at school.
时间点回忆需用过去时,故“it's actually two years ago”应为“it was actually two years ago”;“first time I know”应为过去时“knew”。建议复习一般过去时在叙述过去事件时的使用。
× Well, basically our homeroom teacher gave us a really good website that can help us to practice our typing speed, also our typing skills.
✓ Well, basically our homeroom teacher gave us a really good website that can help us practice our typing speed and typing skills.
“help us to practice”可以简化为“help us practice”;末尾用“also”连接短语位置不自然,改为“and typing skills”更流畅。建议注意动词短语的常见省略结构和并列连接。
