Are you sure you have corrected all the typing errors in this paper?

3、书面。与paper test 书面考试(笔试)相对的就是oral test(口试)。固定搭配on paper也即表示"以书面形式"。
4、平装。a paper back book / paperback edition平装书,与hard back book / hard cover精装书相对。听力中会出现的情形是,在促销(on sale)期间,平装书和精装书一样的价格,这个时候大家当然会更愿意选择精装书了。
Do you have the paperback edition of this dictionary? 这本字典有平装版吗?
