打字— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be more concise and remove filler words (umm, so). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Add a brief contrast to handwriting to enrich content.

範例: I prefer typing because it is faster and more legible. For example, when I prepare lecture notes I can edit and format them quickly, whereas my handwriting is messy and slow. Therefore typing is my preferred method.

建議: Remove hesitations and repeat phrases. Begin with a direct answer, then give two specific activities that require typing, using linking words like 'because' and 'for example' to show coherence.

範例: Yes, I type on a laptop every day because of my job. For example, I prepare lecture slides and mark students' homework online, so typing is essential for these tasks.

建議: Give a clear time reference, avoid fillers, and provide a concise cause-effect structure. Explain briefly how the activity helped your typing skill using linking words like 'because' or 'so'.

範例: I learned to type when I was about 14. At that time computers became more common, and I practised typing while chatting with other players in online games, which improved my speed and accuracy.

建議: Avoid starting with uncertainty. Give a confident, specific method and one concrete resource or exercise. Use linking words to sequence steps (first, then) and be concise.

範例: I improve my typing by practising daily on online typing tests. First I time myself on a website like TypingClub to measure speed, then I work on accuracy drills for 10–15 minutes each day to build consistency.

× I'm not the fastest typer.

✓ I'm not the fastest typist.

Use of the word 'typer' is uncommon; 'typist' is the correct noun for someone who types. This is a word choice/adjective+noun usage issue rather than a grammatical tense or agreement error. Use more natural collocations: 'fastest typist.'

× my my handwriting is very bad.

✓ my handwriting is very bad.

This sentence contains a repetition 'my my' which is an error of redundancy; removing the duplicate fixes the sentence. Also 'very bad' is grammatically acceptable though 'poor' or 'not very neat' may sound more natural.

× Umm it's not pretty at all.

✓ It's not pretty at all.

Remove filler 'Umm' for clarity in formal responses. The structure itself is acceptable; this suggestion improves fluency and conciseness.

× So I would say typing is my go to method.

✓ So I would say typing is my go-to method.

The term 'go-to' is a compound adjective that should be hyphenated when used before a noun. This is a style/structure correction to form the conventional compound adjective.

× Yes umm I do type on a keyboard, umm on a laptop keyboard every day because of my line of work.

✓ Yes, I do type on a laptop keyboard every day because of my line of work.

Remove filler 'umm' and redundant phrase 'on a keyboard, on a laptop keyboard' to avoid repetition and improve sentence structure. Use commas to separate introductory elements.

× So umm as a professor I always have to make slides, I have to comment on my students homework and assignments.

✓ As a professor, I always have to make slides and comment on my students' homework and assignments.

Remove filler 'umm' and combine clauses with 'and' for better flow. Also use the possessive form 'students'' to show homework belongs to the students. This addresses incorrect use of possessive (pronoun/adjective) and sentence structure.

× When I was around 14, umm, when the computer got slimmer.

✓ When I was around 14, when computers became slimmer.

'The computer got slimmer' is informal and slightly awkward. Use plural 'computers' and 'became' for more natural past progressive change. This corrects verb choice and noun number for natural usage.

× So basically I learned to type from umm, playing umm, a game, and I had to chat with other players.

✓ So basically I learned to type by playing a game, because I had to chat with other players.

Use 'by' + -ing to indicate the method ('learned to type by playing'). Replace comma splices with a conjunction and remove filler 'umm' to correct preposition and sentence structure errors.

× So that's when umm, I basically learned how to type.

✓ So that's when I basically learned how to type.

Remove filler 'umm' to improve fluency. The pronoun usage is correct; this removes unnecessary hesitation.

× Oh, umm, that's actually a really difficult question because I wish I also knew, but I would assume that umm, you need to umm, go on the Internet and there's a website that let you actually, umm, test typing and then you can see how fast you can go and then you can practice from there.

✓ That's actually a difficult question because I wish I knew the answer, but I would assume you need to go on the Internet to find a website that lets you test your typing, so you can see how fast you are and then practice from there.

Corrections: remove fillers 'umm'; change 'I wish I also knew' to 'I wish I knew the answer' for clarity; 'there's a website that let you' should be 'a website that lets you' (subject-verb agreement and modal-like simple present for general truth). Also change 'test typing' to 'test your typing' and 'how fast you can go' to 'how fast you are' for natural phrasing. This addresses modal/verb agreement and clarity.
