Part 1
考官
Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
考生
It depends. I prefer typing when I write my course essays because they must be submitted as a file, so typing is faster and neater. Her personal notes or creative writing or my own articles. I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and helps me think more clearly.
考官
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
考生
I type on a laptop keyboard every day because my laptop is more portable and I carry it to my classes every day. It's more convenient than using a separate desktop or an extra device, so I usually do all my typing on the laptop.
考官
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
考生
I learned to type systematically after I entered university because in my earlier school years we only wrote on paper for exams and assignments. At university, I needed to type as is in the report, so I practiced regularly and improved my speed and accuracy when typing.

× Her personal notes or creative writing or my own articles.
✓ My personal notes, creative writing, or my own articles.
The original fragment lacks a verb and begins with 'Her' which conflicts with 'my' later, creating a sentence structure and pronoun inconsistency. Corrected version lists items in a parallel noun phrase and matches the speaker's perspective. Suggestion: ensure complete sentence with consistent pronouns and parallel structure when listing items.
× It depends.
✓ It depends.
No change needed; 'It depends' is correct present tense. Included here to indicate the sentence fits the dialogue context and requires no correction.
× they must be submitted as a file, so typing is faster and neater.
✓ they must be submitted as files, so typing is faster and neater.
Context refers to multiple course essays (plural). Using 'a file' is inconsistent with plural 'essays.' Change to 'files' for number agreement. Suggestion: match article and noun number when referring to plural items.
× I prefer typing when I write my course essays because they must be submitted as a file, so typing is faster and neater.
✓ I prefer typing when I write my course essays because they must be submitted as files, so typing is faster and neater.
Combined correction for clarity and number agreement: 'essays' (plural) should pair with 'files' (plural). The present tense 'prefer' and 'write' are appropriate for habitual action.
× I type on a laptop keyboard every day because my laptop is more portable and I carry it to my classes every day.
✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because my laptop is more portable and I carry it to my classes.
Redundant repetition of 'every day' is unnecessary. Removing the duplicate improves style while maintaining the present tense habitual meaning.
× It's more convenient than using a separate desktop or an extra device, so I usually do all my typing on the laptop.
✓ It's more convenient than using a separate desktop or another device, so I usually do all my typing on the laptop.
'An extra device' is awkward; 'another device' is more natural. The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct. Suggestion: choose natural collocations.
× I learned to type systematically after I entered university because in my earlier school years we only wrote on paper for exams and assignments.
✓ I learned to type systematically after I entered university because in my earlier school years we only wrote on paper for exams and assignments.
This sentence is grammatically correct for past events; no change needed.
× At university, I needed to type as is in the report, so I practiced regularly and improved my speed and accuracy when typing.
✓ At university, I needed to type the reports, so I practiced regularly and improved my speed and accuracy when typing.
The phrase 'type as is in the report' is ungrammatical and unclear. Replacing it with 'type the reports' clarifies the object and fits the past context. Suggestion: use clear direct objects and avoid awkward phrases.
× I improve my typing mainly by practicing everyday and using online typing tests to measure my speed and accuracy.
✓ I improve my typing mainly by practicing every day and by using online typing tests to measure my speed and accuracy.
Two issues: 'everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverbial phrase). Also parallel gerund phrases benefit from repeating 'by' before both gerunds or ensuring parallel structure. Suggestion: use 'every day' for frequency and keep parallel forms.
× I also took a computer course where we did structured typing exercises which helped me learn proper finger placement and increased my typing speed.
✓ I also took a computer course where we did structured typing exercises, which helped me learn proper finger placement and increased my typing speed.
The original is correct but needs a comma before 'which' because it introduces a non-restrictive clause referring to the whole preceding clause. Suggestion: add comma for correct punctuation and clarity.
