打字— Part 1 评分报告

建议: Reduce hesitations and redundancy; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Use more natural phrasing (e.g., “online communication” instead of “via Internet” and avoid filler words like “uh”).

示例: I prefer typing to handwriting because online communication is much more common today, so typing is more convenient. In addition, I can type faster than I can write by hand, which saves time when I’m messaging or writing emails.

建议: Give a direct answer, then add a concise supporting reason with a linking word and remove repetitions. Mention a specific activity to add detail (e.g., emails, chat, documents).

示例: Yes, I type on my laptop every day because I work remotely for a Singapore company. For example, I use the keyboard to write emails and collaborate with colleagues in online meetings.

建议: Organize into a clear topic sentence stating the age, then explain briefly how you learned with specific details. Avoid vague or fragmented phrases and correct grammar errors (e.g., finish the sentence about chatting).

示例: I learned to type when I was about seven years old, mostly by playing video games that required keyboard controls. Later, I practised typing a lot using Yahoo Messenger to chat with friends, which improved my speed.

建议: Avoid saying “I don't really know.” Provide a confident, structured answer: topic sentence, then a specific method or example of practice. Use linking words (e.g., “because,” “for example,” “by”) and precise time references.

示例: I improved my typing gradually over many years because I have used computers for over 20 years. For example, frequent tasks like writing emails, gaming and editing documents helped me build speed and accuracy over time.

× I prefer typing because, uh, nowadays I think uh, communicating via Internet is more popular than uh, via, uh, people.

✓ I prefer typing because, nowadays I think communicating via the Internet is more popular than communicating in person.

Use of prepositions: 'via Internet' should be 'via the Internet' (definite article with 'Internet') and 'via people' is unnatural; use 'in person' or 'face-to-face' to contrast online communication. Also omitted repeated filler words for clarity.

× So uh, typing is more convenient.

✓ So typing is more convenient.

No grammatical error in agreement but remove filler words for fluency. The original sentence is acceptable; suggestion: keep concise without 'uh'.

× And also I think my typing is fast, faster than my writing.

✓ Also, I think my typing is fast, faster than my handwriting.

Word choice: 'writing' can mean the activity; 'handwriting' specifically contrasts typing speed. Grammar is fine, but better lexical precision improves clarity.

× Yes uh, I type on my laptop every day because, uh, currently I'm working remotely for Singapore uh, company.

✓ Yes, I type on my laptop every day because I'm currently working remotely for a Singapore company.

Article use: 'Singapore company' needs an article like 'a Singapore company'. Also remove unnecessary 'uh' and reorder adverb 'currently' before 'working' for natural English.

× So when I, when I work, I need to communicate with my colleagues uh, through the keyboard.

✓ So when I work, I need to communicate with my colleagues through the keyboard.

Preposition 'through the keyboard' is passable but 'via the keyboard' or 'by keyboard' is more natural; removed filler. Kept 'through the keyboard' acceptable but recommend 'via' or 'by' for smoother phrasing.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was a child, like I think around 7 years old from play, from playing video games.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was a child, around seven years old, from playing video games.

Tense is correct (past). Problems were repetition and informal phrasing. Use numerals spelled out in speech transcripts as words optional; remove redundant 'like I think' and 'from play, from playing' to make sentence grammatically clear.

× And then, uh, after that I, I to Yahoo messenger with my friends.

✓ And after that I used Yahoo Messenger to chat with my friends.

Sentence structure and missing verb: original lacks a main verb ('used' or 'talked'). Also 'Yahoo Messenger' is a proper noun and 'to Yahoo messenger with my friends' is ungrammatical. Corrected by inserting 'used' and clarifying 'to chat with'.

× I don't really know.

✓ I don't really know.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present tense; keep as is. It functions as a conversational filler; if more precise, use 'I'm not sure'.

× I think I improved my typing, uh, gradually over time because I have used uh, computer for more than, for more than more than 20 years.

✓ I think I improved my typing gradually over time because I have used computers for more than 20 years.

Use of present perfect 'have used' is correct to indicate experience up to now, but 'computer' should be plural 'computers' or 'a computer' depending on meaning. Also remove repeated phrases 'for more than' and filler. If speaker means 'a computer' for 20 years, say 'a computer'; if multiple machines, use 'computers'. Adjusted to plural to match general experience.

× And yeah, through that time, I think my skill is better and better every day.

✓ And over that time, I think my skill has gotten better and better.

Tense and aspect: use present perfect 'has gotten' (or 'has become') to show change from past to present. 'Through that time' is awkward; 'over that time' or 'over the years' is better. 'Every day' can be omitted or kept depending on emphasis.
