Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
Personally, I prefer handwriting because I think it can help with memory. For example, if I have to take notes, umm handwriting the notes can help me to consolidate my memory about knowledge so that it is easy for me to recall of the important theory.

I can't really remember exactly, but I guess it's probably when I was in second grade. During that summer vacation, I attended a computer class where my teacher taught me how to place my finger on the keyboard properly.

How do you improve your typing?

I improve my typing by practicing regularly and taking online time tests. I used to check my typing speed through a website and then practice short drills every day to help with both my speed and accuracy, and that's quite like an intriguing game for me.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分数: 78.0建议: Your answer is relevant and gives a clear reason, but it contains fillers ("umm"), some redundancy, and slight grammar issues. To improve, remove fillers, make the topic sentence concise, use one or two specific supporting details, and link them smoothly. Also correct small grammar points (e.g., "handwriting the notes" → "writing notes by hand"; "recall of the important theory" → "recall important theories"). Aim for 2–3 coherent sentences with a linking word like "because" or "for example."
示例: I prefer writing notes by hand because it helps me remember information better. For example, when I write out key theories during lectures, the physical act of writing helps me consolidate and later recall the main points.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
分数: 62.0建议: The main idea is clear but the response has grammatical errors, fillers, and an unclear phrase ('do with any tax'). Improve grammar ("I type on a laptop keyboard"), remove fillers, and give one specific supporting reason. Use a linking word like "because" and correct collocations ("portable" and "convenient for studying").
示例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is portable and convenient for studying abroad. For instance, I can work in libraries or cafés without carrying heavy equipment.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分数: 85.0建议: This answer is clear, appropriately structured and includes a specific supporting detail. To improve further, avoid hedging phrases like "I can't really remember exactly"—give a confident estimate—and combine sentences smoothly with a linking word such as "so" or "when."
示例: I learned to type when I was in second grade during a summer computer class, where the teacher taught us proper finger placement and basic typing drills.
How do you improve your typing?
分数: 80.0建议: Good content and specific methods are described, but tense consistency and phrasing could be tightened ("I used to" suggests past habit—use present if you still do it). Avoid informal filler phrases like "that's quite like an intriguing game" or rephrase more naturally. Use linking words like "for example" to connect ideas.
示例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly and taking timed online tests. For example, I check my speed on a typing website and then do short daily drills to build both speed and accuracy.
× For example, if I have to take notes, umm handwriting the notes can help me to consolidate my memory about knowledge so that it is easy for me to recall of the important theory.
✓ For example, if I have to take notes, handwriting the notes can help me consolidate my knowledge so that it is easy for me to recall the important theories.
Error type 8 (Verb + -ing form): 'handwriting the notes' functions as a noun phrase and is acceptable, but 'to consolidate my memory about knowledge' is awkward and ungrammatical: 'consolidate' should take a direct object (such as 'knowledge'), not 'my memory about knowledge'. Also 'recall of the important theory' misuses 'of' and singular 'theory'. Suggested correction removes unnecessary preposition and uses plural 'theories' or 'theory' depending on context; here 'theories' fits general reference. Improvement: use verbs with proper objects and avoid redundant prepositions (e.g., 'consolidate my knowledge', 'recall the important theories').
× Well, I type on the laptop keyboard everything.
✓ Well, I type everything on the laptop keyboard.
Error type 2 (Third person singular issue): Although not a typical third-person verb error, the sentence has incorrect word order making it sound unnatural. Rearranging to 'I type everything on the laptop keyboard' corrects the structure and places the object correctly. Improvement: follow typical English S-V-O order and put adverbials/objects in natural positions.
× As the student who study abroad, uh, it is always much more convenient to have a laptop which is much more portable and easy to do with any tax.
✓ As a student who studies abroad, it is much more convenient to have a laptop because it is portable and easy to carry anywhere.
Error type 12 (Incorrect use of pronouns) and type 6 (Present tense issue) and type 11 (Incorrect use of prepositions) combined: 'the student who study abroad' has wrong article and verb form; use 'a student who studies abroad' (subject-verb agreement). 'it is always much more convenient' is acceptable but verbose; 'which is much more portable and easy to do with any tax' is ungrammatical: 'do with any tax' is nonsensical and likely intended 'carry anywhere' or 'take with me'. Corrected version fixes pronoun/article, verb agreement, and replaces incorrect phrase with clear prepositional phrase. Improvement: ensure subject-verb agreement, choose correct articles ('a' vs 'the'), and use appropriate verbs/prepositions for actions like carrying or taking along.
× I can't really remember exactly, but I guess it's probably when I was in second grade.
✓ I can't really remember exactly, but I guess it was probably when I was in second grade.
Error type 6 (Present tense issue): 'I guess it's probably when I was in second grade' mixes present 'it's' with a past time reference. Use past 'it was' to match the time frame. Improvement: keep tense consistent with the time reference in the sentence.
× During that summer vacation, I attended a computer class where my teacher taught me how to place my finger on the keyboard properly.
✓ During that summer vacation, I attended a computer class where my teacher taught me how to place my fingers on the keyboard properly.
Error type 9 (Verb in the past participle form) partially: actual issue is plural 'finger' vs 'fingers' and wording; 'place my finger' is acceptable if referring to one finger but usually 'fingers' (plural) is appropriate for typing technique. Verbs are correctly in past tense. Improvement: use plural 'fingers' when referring to general typing technique and ensure agreement between noun number and intended meaning.
× I improve my typing by practicing regularly and taking online time tests.
✓ I improve my typing by practicing regularly and taking online timed tests.
Error type 8 (Verb + -ing form) and type 13 (Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs): 'time tests' is incorrect collocation; use 'timed tests' (adjective 'timed' describes tests). 'practicing' and 'taking' are correct -ing forms. Improvement: use correct adjective forms to describe tests (timed), and maintain parallel gerund structure.
× I used to check my typing speed through a website and then practice short drills every day to help with both my speed and accuracy, and that's quite like an intriguing game for me.
✓ I used to check my typing speed on a website and then practice short drills every day to improve both my speed and accuracy; it felt like an intriguing game to me.
Error type 5 (Past tense issue): The sentence mixes past habitual 'used to' with present 'that's' and an awkward simile 'quite like an intriguing game for me'. To keep tense consistent, change 'that's' to 'it felt' and adjust preposition 'on a website'. Also replace 'help with both my speed and accuracy' with 'improve both my speed and accuracy' for natural phrasing. Improvement: maintain consistent tense, use natural prepositions ('on a website'), and choose idiomatic expressions ('felt like a game').
