打字— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Your answer is relevant and well-structured with a clear topic sentence and supporting reasons. To improve further, use present-tense modal forms consistently (e.g., “I prefer handwriting when taking notes” rather than conditional “if I was”), reduce redundancy, and add a brief linking phrase to contrast the two preferences (e.g., “on the other hand”). Also avoid overly long sentences—split into two if necessary.

範例: I prefer handwriting when taking lecture notes because writing by hand helps me remember information better. On the other hand, I prefer typing for assignments and long reports because it is faster and produces neater, more organized documents.

建議: The answer addresses the question but contains hesitation fillers (“Umm”) and an unclear, awkward phrase (“shoe size of it”) that confuses meaning. Improve clarity by removing fillers, correcting vocabulary (e.g., “bulky size” or “physical size”), and giving a concise reason for preference. Keep it within two or three sentences.

範例: I usually type on a laptop or iPad keyboard because I need to carry my devices between lecture rooms. A desktop keyboard would be impractical since it is bulky and I can’t easily transport it.

建議: This is a clear and coherent answer with good chronological detail. To make it stronger, avoid hedging phrases like “I believe” and “I guess”; be more confident and tighten phrasing. Use a linking word to show progression (e.g., “initially… eventually”).

範例: I learned to type in the fifth or sixth grade. Initially I had to look at the keys, but after a few years I learned touch typing and no longer need to glance at the keyboard.

建議: The response gives examples but has hesitations and slightly awkward phrasing (“getting used to computer itself,” “probably improve”). Improve by removing fillers, using precise verbs (e.g., “practice”), and grouping examples with linking words (e.g., “for example,” “also”). Be specific about frequency or deliberate practice methods if possible.

範例: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice on my computer. For example, I frequently search for information online, text friends, and play games that require quick key combinations, and I also practice typing exercises for ten minutes each day to increase speed and accuracy.

× 'It entirely depends on the context.'

✓ 'It entirely depends on the context.'

'Depends' is correct for present simple; no change needed. This sentence correctly uses present tense to express a general truth or habitual preference.'

× 'For instance, if I was taking notes in a lecture, I would prefer handwriting because the process of doing so enhances my memorization.'

✓ 'For instance, if I were taking notes in a lecture, I would prefer handwriting because the process of doing so enhances my memorization.'

'If' clauses expressing hypothetical situations in the present use the subjunctive 'were' (contrary-to-fact). Use 'were' instead of 'was' after if to indicate an unreal or hypothetical situation.'

× 'But if I was doing an assignment or a long report, I would prefer typing because it is faster and more neatly arranged.'

✓ 'But if I were doing an assignment or a long report, I would prefer typing because it is faster and neater.'

'If' + hypothetical present requires 'were' (subjunctive). Also, 'more neatly arranged' is awkward when comparing speed/format; use 'neater' to describe typing output concisely.'

× 'I usually type on a laptop or iPad keyboard every day as I have to move these devices from lecture rooms to another one.'

✓ 'I usually type on a laptop or iPad keyboard every day because I have to move these devices from one lecture room to another.'

Use 'because' for reason rather than 'as' for clarity. The phrase 'from lecture rooms to another one' is incorrect; use 'from one lecture room to another' for movement between rooms.'

× 'Umm. Although I could technically connect a desktop keyboard to my devices, it would be unfeasible due to the shoe size of it.'

✓ 'Although I could technically connect a desktop keyboard to my devices, it would be impractical because of its large size.'

The phrase 'shoe size of it' is idiomatic or incorrect here; use 'its large size' or 'its bulk' to describe impractical physical dimensions. 'Unfeasible' is formal; 'impractical' fits spoken context better.'

× 'When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?'

✓ 'When did you learn to type on a keyboard?'

'Learn to do' and 'learn how to do' are both acceptable, but 'learn to type' is more concise and idiomatic in this question context.'

× 'I believe it was during the 5th or 6th grade in elementary school.'

✓ 'I believe it was during fifth or sixth grade in elementary school.'

Use ordinal words without 'the' for grade levels: 'fifth or sixth grade' is more natural. Also writing numbers as words is preferred in speech transcription.'

× 'At first, I actually had to look at the keyboard directly to find the corresponding keys I wanted to type.'

✓ 'At first, I actually had to look at the keyboard to find the keys I wanted to type.'

'Corresponding' is redundant here; simpler phrasing improves fluency. Subject-verb agreement is fine; this correction targets redundancy and naturalness while keeping grammar correct.'

× 'But I guess after a few years I gradually learned the position of each key and I no longer have to look at it while typing.'

✓ 'But I guess after a few years I gradually learned the position of each key, and I no longer have to look at them while typing.'

'Each key' is plural in reference later, so use 'them' instead of 'it'. Also add a comma before 'and' to join independent clauses.'

× 'I enhance my typing skills by simply getting used to computer itself.'

✓ 'I improve my typing skills simply by getting used to the computer itself.'

Add the definite article 'the' before 'computer' to refer to computers in general as a concept here. Also 'improve' is more natural than 'enhance' in this spoken context and word order adjusted for fluency.'

× 'I use computer for various reasons such as umm, Google searching for information, texting with my friends, and playing games that require special key combinations.'

✓ 'I use the computer for various reasons such as searching Google for information, texting my friends, and playing games that require special key combinations.'

Add 'the' before 'computer.' Use the idiomatic 'searching Google' rather than 'Google searching'; 'texting my friends' is more natural than 'texting with my friends.' Remove filler 'umm' in corrected written form.'

× 'These are all factors that probably improve my typing.'

✓ 'All of these activities probably improve my typing.'

Reorder for natural phrasing: 'All of these activities' clearly links to previous list. This improves cohesion and conciseness while maintaining correct tense.
