Part 1
考官
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
I prefer typing. This is because the speed of typing is faster than handwriting and it is more accurate. For example, I'd prefer to use my computer to take notes in my class, and I can take the notes back when I need them.
考官
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
考生
Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day. This is because I have to prepare my IO examination. For example, if I want to prepare my examination anywhere at school or in the office. So I can take my laptop everywhere I want so it's more efficient.
考官
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
考生
I learned to type when I started working because when I was young I couldn't afford to buy a computer and there was no computer at schools. When I started working, I could afford to buy a computer and practice a lot every day to improve my typing skills.
考官
How do you improve your typing?
考生
I improved my typing by taking an online course because I didn't have time or energy to attend in the face to face class. I've been practicing and learning the typing skills and now I can type much faster and more accurately.
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
分數: 82.0建議: 回答总体清晰且直接,但可改进两点:1) 精简句子,避免重复(例如“speed faster”与“more accurate”已表达原因,无需反复);2) 增加更具体的细节或对比(如在何种场景下打字更好,或举一个具体例子说明如何检索笔记)。注意句子长度不超过五句。
範例: I prefer typing because it's faster and more accurate than handwriting. For example, in lectures I can quickly search and organize my notes on my laptop, which helps me review before exams.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

範例: I use a laptop keyboard every day because I need to prepare for my IO examination. It lets me study anywhere—in class, the library or at the office—so I can work efficiently between places.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
分數: 80.0建議: 回答包含原因和时间点,但句子冗长且有重复:1) 开头应更直接给出时间(e.g. when I started work);2) 精简背景信息,并可加入具体时间或练习方法(如练习时长或用过的练习软件)。控制在五句内。
範例: I learned to type when I started working after school because my workplace provided a computer. I practiced daily for about an hour using online typing exercises, which steadily improved my speed and accuracy.
How do you improve your typing?
分數: 84.0建議: 回答清楚地说明了方法与结果,但可以更具体:1) 说明用了哪类在线课程或具体练习(例如盲打练习、打字软件);2) 给出衡量进步的具体指标(例如每分钟词数WPM或错误率)。同样保持不超过五句。
範例: I improved my typing by taking an online touch-typing course and practising on a typing app for 30 minutes each day. As a result, my speed increased to about 60 WPM and my error rate dropped significantly.
× I prefer typing. This is because the speed of typing is faster than handwriting and it is more accurate.
✓ I prefer typing because typing is faster and more accurate than handwriting.
句子在表达比较关系和因果时,原句结构重复且词序不够自然。将因果句合并并把比较对象(typing 与 handwriting)并列在句子中,使时态为一般现在时,表达习惯更自然。建议用“typing is faster and more accurate than handwriting”。
× For example, I'd prefer to use my computer to take notes in my class, and I can take the notes back when I need them.
✓ For example, I prefer to use my computer to take notes in class, and I can access the notes when I need them.
原句中“I'd prefer”用法在此处与前句重复且时态不一致,此外“take the notes back”是非母语直译,语义不自然。改为一般现在时的“I prefer”,并用“access the notes”更贴切。建议保持一致时态并使用地道表达。
× Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day. This is because I have to prepare my IO examination.
✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I have to prepare for my IO examination.
回答中以“Yes”开头显得多余,且动词短语“prepare my examination”不自然,应使用“prepare for an examination”。将句子合并为一个完整的因果句,更符合英语表达。
× For example, if I want to prepare my examination anywhere at school or in the office. So I can take my laptop everywhere I want so it's more efficient.
✓ For example, if I want to prepare for my examination anywhere at school or in the office, I can take my laptop with me, so it's more efficient.
原文有句子断裂(以 if 引导的从句未接主句),并且“prepare my examination”不自然。需将从句与主句连接,使用“prepare for”并用“take my laptop with me”表达携带含义。
× I learned to type when I started working because when I was young I couldn't afford to buy a computer and there was no computer at schools.
✓ I learned to type when I started working because when I was young I couldn't afford a computer, and there were no computers at school.
原句中“there was no computer at schools”存在主谓单复数不一致,应使用复数“computers”与“at school”更自然。整体时态为一般过去时,改为“couldn't afford a computer”更简洁。
× When I started working, I could afford to buy a computer and practice a lot every day to improve my typing skills.
✓ When I started working, I could afford to buy a computer and practised a lot every day to improve my typing skills.
句子中讲过去发生的事情,动词“practice”应使用过去式“practised”(英式拼写)以符合过去时态一致性。建议保持整个句子在过去时。
× I improved my typing by taking an online course because I didn't have time or energy to attend in the face to face class.
✓ I improved my typing by taking an online course because I didn't have the time or energy to attend face-to-face classes.
“attend in the face to face class”是不正确的搭配,应为“attend face-to-face classes”或“attend the face-to-face class”。同时“time or energy”前加定冠词“the”更自然。
× I've been practicing and learning the typing skills and now I can type much faster and more accurately.
✓ I've been practising and learning typing skills, and now I can type much faster and more accurately.
“the typing skills”中定冠词“the”不必要且不自然,改为“typing skills”。动名词和现在完成进行时结构是正确的,但拼写需与前文时态一致(practising)。建议去掉不必要的定冠词并保持拼写一致。
