Part 1
考官
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
Well, I think I prefer typing because typing typing is more faster than handwriting and also it's really easily to edit the things that I wrote, while handwriting is a bit hard to edit again and write things right and write down the things very quickly and properly.
考官
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
考生
Umm, I don't think I type every day, but I do very often, like five days a week, 5 days in a week because, well, I have to study IELTS and IELTS has a writing subject and to practice that I have, I write lots of writings every day.
考官
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
考生
I think when I was in elementary school, like when I was in my first grade, because my dad used to have a laptop and I was really curious about it and I and I really wanted to like type some things in it. So my dad taught me how to use the laptops, like the keyboards.

How do you improve your typing?
考生
To be honest, I don't really improve my typing because I don't think it's that important, so I don't really like try to improve my typings.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 58.0建议: Be concise, avoid repetition, and use clearer grammar and linking to compare typing and handwriting. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons with linking words and a short example. Correct grammar (e.g., "faster", "easier to edit").
示例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and much easier to edit. For example, when I write essays on a computer I can quickly reorganize sentences and correct mistakes, whereas with handwriting I would need to rewrite large sections.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 62.0建议: Start with a clear direct answer (Yes/No or frequency), then give a brief reason using linking words and one specific detail. Avoid filler words and repetition; use correct collocations ("five days a week", "practice writing").
示例: I type most days — about five days a week. I do this because I practice writing for the IELTS exam, so I often type essays and exercises on my laptop to improve my skills.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分数: 70.0建议: Give a direct answer with a clear time reference, then support with a concise reason or short anecdote. Remove hesitations and repeated words, and use natural phrasing ("first grade", "my dad taught me").

How do you improve your typing?
分数: 48.0建议: Answer directly and honestly but add a brief explanation and possible future intention. Use correct grammar and avoid negative forms that sound dismissive. Mention specific ways you could improve if asked (e.g., online courses, practice exercises).
示例: I haven't focused much on improving my typing because I prioritise other skills, but I do type regularly which keeps my speed steady. If I wanted to improve, I would use online typing courses and daily timed practice to increase accuracy and speed.
× Well, I think I prefer typing because typing typing is more faster than handwriting and also it's really easily to edit the things that I wrote, while handwriting is a bit hard to edit again and write things right and write down the things very quickly and properly.
✓ Well, I think I prefer typing because typing is faster than handwriting and it's really easy to edit what I wrote, while handwriting is a bit hard to edit and to write things quickly and properly.
Errors: 'more faster' is a double comparative (use 'faster'); 'really easily' uses an adverb where an adjective is required for the structure 'be + adjective' (use 'easy'); awkward phrasing 'the things that I wrote' -> 'what I wrote'; redundant and ungrammatical repetition 'typing typing'. Suggestion: remove duplicates, use correct comparative forms, use adjective after 'be', and simplify noun phrases. Keep present-tense preference consistent.
× Umm, I don't think I type every day, but I do very often, like five days a week, 5 days in a week because, well, I have to study IELTS and IELTS has a writing subject and to practice that I have, I write lots of writings every day.
✓ Umm, I don't think I type every day, but I do very often, like five days a week, because I have to study for the IELTS and it has a writing component, so to practice I write a lot every day.
Errors: awkward tense and word choice 'study IELTS' should be 'study for the IELTS'; 'IELTS has a writing subject' -> 'it has a writing component'; 'lots of writings' is unnatural (use 'a lot' or 'many writing tasks'); redundant phrase '5 days in a week' unnecessary. Suggestion: simplify sentences, use 'study for', use noun 'component', and keep simple present for habitual actions.
× I think when I was in elementary school, like when I was in my first grade, because my dad used to have a laptop and I was really curious about it and I and I really wanted to like type some things in it.
✓ I think it was when I was in elementary school, like in first grade, because my dad had a laptop and I was really curious about it and I really wanted to type some things on it.
Errors: unnecessary 'used to have' can be simplified to 'had' for past possession; 'my first grade' -> 'first grade'; repeated 'I and I' is a repetition error; 'wanted to like type' contains filler 'like' which is informal and ungrammatical here; preposition with devices is 'type on it' not 'in it'. Suggestion: remove repetitions and fillers, use simple past for past states, and use correct preposition 'on' for typing on a laptop.
× So my dad taught me how to use the laptops, like the keyboards.
✓ So my dad taught me how to use the laptop, specifically the keyboard.
Errors: plural 'laptops' conflicts with earlier singular context; article and noun choice should be singular 'the laptop'; 'like the keyboards' is colloquial and unclear. Suggestion: make number agreement consistent and use 'specifically' or 'the' to clarify the part taught.
× To be honest, I don't really improve my typing because I don't think it's that important, so I don't really like try to improve my typings.
✓ To be honest, I don't really improve my typing because I don't think it's that important, so I don't really try to improve my typing.
Errors: 'don't really like try' is ungrammatical; 'like' misused before 'try' — omit 'like' or use 'like to try'; 'my typings' is incorrect pluralization of 'typing' (uncountable here). Suggestion: use 'I don't really try' or 'I don't like to try', remove plural on 'typing', and keep consistent verb forms.
