Part 1
考官
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
My typing is not so good, so I prefer handwriting because my handwriting is far better than typing. Typing contains a lot of time to look at the keywords etcetera. But handwriting we know what we are saying and directly we can make sentences.
考官
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
考生
Yes, I type on laptop keyboard everyday because my work and studies are mostly done on the portable device, which is convenient for moving between home and office. For example, I use it for emails and writing reports, and sometimes I switch to a test when I need a larger screen for detailed tasks.
考官
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
考生
I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 10 years old during a PC computer class at school where we practiced touch typing exercises and simple word processing. Since then, I have continued to improve by doing online typing drills and using a keyboard for homework and chatting, which helped increase my speed and accuracy.

How do you improve your typing?
考生
I practice regularly using structured exercises and online typing programs to build speed and accuracy. For example, I do daily 15 to 20 minute sessions focusing on common letter combinations. I also pay attention to ergonomics and proper finger placements. I'll track progress time tests.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 70.0建议: Improve fluency and coherence by making the response more concise and by using linking words. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons with examples. Avoid redundancy (e.g., repeating that handwriting is better).
示例: I prefer handwriting to typing because my handwriting is neater and faster for planning ideas. For instance, when I draft essays I can jot down thoughts quickly without pausing to find keys, which helps my ideas flow. Therefore, I usually handwrite notes during brainstorming.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 85.0建议: Good structure and relevant details. To reach a higher score, make sentences more natural and correct minor grammar (e.g., 'everyday' -> 'every day') and clarify the last point with a linking phrase. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
示例: Yes, I type on a laptop every day because my work and studies require a portable device that I can easily carry between home and the office. For example, I use it to write emails and reports; however, I sometimes switch to a desktop when I need a larger screen for detailed work.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分数: 90.0建议: Strong, specific answer with good detail. Slight improvements: shorten slightly, use a linking word to connect past learning with ongoing practice, and correct minor redundancy (e.g., 'PC computer' -> 'computer').
示例: I learned to type when I was about ten in a school computer class where we practiced touch-typing and basic word processing. Since then, I have continued to improve with online typing drills and regular keyboard use for homework and chatting, which has increased my speed and accuracy.
How do you improve your typing?
分数: 80.0建议: Good content and specific details. Make the answer more natural by fixing minor grammar ('I'll track progress time tests' unclear) and using linking words. Keep to 3–4 sentences and provide one clear result or benefit of your practice.
示例: I improve my typing by practicing daily with structured online exercises, typically 15 to 20 minutes focused on common letter combinations. I also pay attention to ergonomics and correct finger placement to reduce fatigue. As a result, I track my progress with timed tests to monitor speed and accuracy improvements.
× Typing contains a lot of time to look at the keywords etcetera.
✓ Typing takes a lot of time because you have to look for keywords, etcetera.
The original uses 'contains a lot of time', which is unidiomatic. Use 'takes a lot of time' to express duration (quantifier/verb choice). Also clarify subject and reason: 'because you have to look for keywords'. Suggest using 'takes' with 'time' to indicate duration and rephrase for clarity.
× But handwriting we know what we are saying and directly we can make sentences.
✓ With handwriting, we know what we are saying and can write sentences directly.
The original sentence has poor word order ('But handwriting we know...') and an unnecessary adverb position. Reordering to 'With handwriting, we...' makes the sentence grammatical. Move 'directly' to modify 'write' and remove redundant 'can' placement for fluency.
× Yes, I type on laptop keyboard everyday because my work and studies are mostly done on the portable device, which is convenient for moving between home and office.
✓ Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because my work and studies are mostly done on a portable device, which is convenient for moving between home and the office.
Missing articles: 'on laptop keyboard' should be 'on a laptop keyboard'. 'Everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverb). 'The portable device' is overly specific; 'a portable device' fits general reference. Add 'the' before 'office' to indicate a specific place paired with 'home'. These article and word-form corrections improve accuracy.
× For example, I use it for emails and writing reports, and sometimes I switch to a test when I need a larger screen for detailed tasks.
✓ For example, I use it for emails and report writing, and sometimes I switch to a desktop when I need a larger screen for detailed tasks.
'Use it for emails and writing reports' is acceptable but 'report writing' is more natural. 'Switch to a test' is incorrect—likely meant 'switch to a desktop' or 'use a desktop'. The preposition 'to' with 'test' is wrong in context. Replace 'test' with 'desktop' to match meaning and correct prepositional use.
× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 10 years old during a PC computer class at school where we practiced touch typing exercises and simple word processing.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 10 years old during a computer class at school, where we practiced touch-typing exercises and simple word processing.
Redundant 'PC computer' should be 'computer' (PC already implies computer). 'Touch typing' can be hyphenated as 'touch-typing' when used attributively. Add a comma before 'where' for clarity. These adjustments fix redundancy and improve register.
× Since then, I have continued to improve by doing online typing drills and using a keyboard for homework and chatting, which helped increase my speed and accuracy.
✓ Since then, I have continued to improve by doing online typing drills and using a keyboard for homework and chatting, which has helped increase my speed and accuracy.
The sentence begins with 'Since then, I have continued' (present perfect), so the relative clause should also use present perfect: 'has helped' instead of simple past 'helped' to maintain tense consistency and correctly link past actions to present results.
× I practice regularly using structured exercises and online typing programs to build speed and accuracy.
✓ I practice regularly using structured exercises and online typing programs to build my speed and accuracy.
Add the possessive 'my' before 'speed and accuracy' to make the noun phrase natural and specific to the speaker. This is a small article/possessive correction to improve naturalness.
× For example, I do daily 15 to 20 minute sessions focusing on common letter combinations.
✓ For example, I do 15- to 20-minute daily sessions focusing on common letter combinations.
Adjective and numeral order: 'daily 15 to 20 minute sessions' is awkward. Use '15- to 20-minute daily sessions' or 'daily 15- to 20-minute sessions' to properly hyphenate and order number + unit + adjective. This fixes adverb and modifier placement.
× I also pay attention to ergonomics and proper finger placements.
✓ I also pay attention to ergonomics and proper finger placement.
'Finger placements' is plural but 'finger placement' is the more common uncountable phrase referring to the general positioning of fingers. Adjusting to singular improves naturalness. No preposition issue remains, but this is a word choice correction.
× I'll track progress time tests.
✓ I'll track my progress with timed tests.
The original 'track progress time tests' is ungrammatical and unclear. Rephrase to 'track my progress with timed tests' to express the intended meaning: using timed tests to monitor improvement. This fixes sentence structure and introduces the possessive 'my' and proper modifier 'timed'.
