Part 1
考官
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
Typing because my handwriting is very, very bad. I've never worked on it and uh, it's been long time that I'm just always working on laptop or phones. Uh, so I'm always typing something and I've got better grip on it now. So I would definitely say typing.
考官
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
考生
I don't have any desktop, I have a laptop though so I always type on laptop. It's pretty compact keyboard in the laptop so it's just feels very easy and convenient to go through every key just within your reach instead of just in the lab.
考官
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
考生
When did I learn? I would say in school, when I was in 10th standard, I started attending computer classes and I learned how to type letters and paragraphs in Word and I got even interested in that. So I just kept going on and I'll.
考官
How do you improve your typing?
考生
It's a long process, I said. I would say, uh, when I started typing, I used to just use one finger of each hand and then slowly, slowly I started using two fingers and then three fingers. And now I don't even have to look at the screen. Uh, sorry, look at the keyboard when I'm typing.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 72.0建议: Be more concise and fluent: open with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words (uh, um), reduce repetition, and add one specific reason or short example. Keep within 3–4 sentences and use a linking word to connect the reason.
示例: I prefer typing to handwriting. Nowadays I use my laptop and phone for almost everything, so my typing is faster and neater than my handwriting. For example, I can draft and edit emails quickly, which makes typing much more convenient.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 76.0建议: Start with a direct answer, remove hesitations and correct small grammar and vocabulary errors (e.g., "it just feels"). Add one clear supporting detail using a linking word like "because" or "so" to explain why it is convenient.
示例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't have a desktop. The laptop's compact layout makes it easy to reach all the keys, so I can type comfortably even in small spaces.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分数: 70.0建议: Give a clear, concise time reference and finish your final sentence. Avoid vague phrasing like "I would say" and incomplete endings. Use one linking phrase to add a specific detail about how you practiced.
示例: I learned to type in school, when I was in tenth grade, during computer classes. At that time we practised typing letters and paragraphs in Microsoft Word, which got me interested and helped me keep improving.
How do you improve your typing?
分数: 74.0建议: Answer directly and coherently: begin with a topic sentence explaining your method, avoid fillers and self-corrections, and use linking words (first, then, now) to show progression. Be specific about techniques or exercises you used to improve.
示例: I improved my typing gradually by practising regularly. At first I used one finger from each hand, then I taught myself to use more fingers, and now I touch-type without looking at the keyboard because of consistent daily practice and online typing exercises.
× Typing because my handwriting is very, very bad.
✓ I prefer typing because my handwriting is very, very bad.
The original sentence is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and main verb; it does not directly answer the examiner's question. Add a subject and verb to form a complete sentence that clearly states the preference. Use 'I prefer typing' to fit the question context.
× I've never worked on it and uh, it's been long time that I'm just always working on laptop or phones.
✓ I've never worked on it, and it's been a long time since I've been using only a laptop or phone.
Errors: incorrect tense usage and awkward time expression. 'It's been long time that I'm just always working' is ungrammatical. Use 'it's been a long time since' followed by present perfect continuous 'I've been using' or present perfect 'I've used' to indicate an action continuing to present. Also use singular 'phone' or 'phones' consistently; 'a laptop or phone' sounds natural.
× Uh, so I'm always typing something and I've got better grip on it now.
✓ So I'm always typing something, and I've got a better grip on it now.
Missing article 'a' before 'better grip'. 'Got better grip' is incorrect; use 'got a better grip' or 'have a better grasp'. Including the article makes the noun phrase grammatical.
× I would definitely say typing.
✓ I would definitely say I prefer typing.
Again a fragment without subject; include subject and verb to make a complete response that mirrors the question. 'I would definitely say I prefer typing' is a full, natural reply.
× I don't have any desktop, I have a laptop though so I always type on laptop.
✓ I don't have a desktop; I have a laptop, so I always type on my laptop.
Use singular 'a desktop' rather than 'any desktop' in this context. Also include the possessive 'my' before 'laptop' and the article 'a' when first mentioning 'desktop'. Adding commas and changing 'on laptop' to 'on my laptop' corrects grammar and clarity.
× It's pretty compact keyboard in the laptop so it's just feels very easy and convenient to go through every key just within your reach instead of just in the lab.
✓ The laptop has a pretty compact keyboard, so it just feels very easy and convenient to reach every key from your hand instead of being cramped in a lab.
Original has article and word order problems: 'It's pretty compact keyboard in the laptop' is ungrammatical—use 'The laptop has a pretty compact keyboard' or 'It has a pretty compact keyboard'. Remove redundant 'just' before 'feels'. 'Go through every key just within your reach' is awkward; 'reach every key from your hand' or 'reach every key easily' is clearer. 'Instead of just in the lab' is unclear; interpret as 'instead of being in a lab' or 'instead of when in a lab'. Adjust to maintain meaning.
× When did I learn? I would say in school, when I was in 10th standard, I started attending computer classes and I learned how to type letters and paragraphs in Word and I got even interested in that.
✓ When did I learn? I'd say in school: when I was in 10th grade I started attending computer classes, and I learned how to type letters and paragraphs in Word; I even became interested in it.
Use '10th grade' rather than '10th standard' for natural English. Combine clauses with commas and semicolons for clarity. 'I got even interested in that' is awkward; use 'I even became interested in it.' Maintain past tense consistently for past events.
× So I just kept going on and I'll.
✓ So I just kept practicing, and I still do.
Original ends with 'I'll' incomplete. Use a complete clause: 'I still do' or 'I continued practicing' to convey ongoing action. 'Kept going on' is vague; 'kept practicing' is specific to typing.
× It's a long process, I said.
✓ It's a long process, I would say.
'I said' is incorrect in this context; the speaker intends to offer an opinion: use 'I would say' or 'I think.' This corrects the reporting verb and maintains present relevance.
× I would say, uh, when I started typing, I used to just use one finger of each hand and then slowly, slowly I started using two fingers and then three fingers.
✓ I would say that when I started typing, I used to type with just one finger from each hand, then slowly I started using two fingers and then three fingers.
Minor wording: 'use one finger of each hand' is awkward; use 'type with one finger from each hand.' Maintain parallel structure and remove redundant commas. Tense 'used to' correctly indicates past habit.
× And now I don't even have to look at the screen. Uh, sorry, look at the keyboard when I'm typing.
✓ And now I don't even have to look at the keyboard when I'm typing.
The speaker mistakenly said 'look at the screen' then corrected to 'look at the keyboard'. Combine into one clear sentence. Also fix pronoun/reference: 'I'm typing' is correct present continuous for current ability; remove the interjection and repetition for clarity.
