Why typing, you ask?
Why typing, you ask?
Why typing, you ask? Many students arrive with an average typing speed of 20WPM. In a 400 word 独立写作, this requires 20 minutes dedicated simply to typing. This leaves almost no time for sentence optimization, spelling corrections, or word choice improvement. Increasing this to 40WPM will instantly save you 10 minutes of typing time. Typing will also enhance a student’s reading speed as they scan for words, spelling ability as they become cognizant of incorrectly spelled words, and of course, allow students to save crucial minutes that can be used to earn an extra 1, 2, or 3 points on the TOEFL writing. Compare this to Ronny 老师 who types an average of 138 words per minute. At that speed, one can theoretically finish an entire 400 word essay in 2.5 minutes.
