Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is relevant but unclear and contains contradictions and grammar errors. Start with one clear topic sentence (state preference), then give one or two concise reasons with linking words. Avoid repeating phrases and correct grammar (e.g., "I'm a computer engineer" not "I'm an I'm a").

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because I work as a computer engineer and spend many hours at a computer. Consequently, I have practiced a lot and now type much faster than I write by hand.

提案: The content is fine but sentences are repetitive and some phrases are ungrammatical. Give a clear direct statement then one supporting detail. Use linking words (e.g., "so", "because") correctly and fix phrases like "use a lot of time my laptop."

例: I usually type on a desktop because my office workstation is a desktop computer. I use it every day for coding and documentation, so I spend several hours at the keyboard.

提案: Good idea but grammar and word choice need correction. Answer directly with a time reference, then briefly explain. Avoid awkward phrases like "technology accesses" and use past tense (learned).

例: I learned to type when I began my computer engineering degree about four years ago because I had to use computers for my classes and projects.

提案: This answer is clear but needs better grammar and more precise vocabulary. Name the site, describe briefly how it works using correct tense and prepositions, and add one result. Keep it to two or three sentences.

例: I use a website called improvetyping.com that shows words and exercises to type without looking at the keyboard. By practising regularly on those timed drills, my speed and accuracy have improved.

× I prefer typing because I'm an I'm a computer engineer and I spend a lot of time on my computer, so I improved my typing speed a lot.

✓ I prefer typing because I'm a computer engineer and I spend a lot of time on my computer, so I have improved my typing speed a lot.

The sentence had a repetition 'I'm an I'm a' and used simple past 'improved' while describing an ongoing result; present perfect 'have improved' is appropriate to show a change over time that affects the present. Remove the repeated 'I'm an'. Use present perfect to link past improvement to present ability.

× I prefer hand typing because I'm a lot faster.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I am much faster at it.

The phrase 'hand typing' is awkward; 'handwriting' or 'writing by hand' is correct. 'I'm a lot faster' lacks object; add 'at it' and replace 'a lot' with 'much' for formality. This corrects word choice and sentence completeness.

× Like I said, I'm a computer engineer, so I type on a desktop every day.

✓ Like I said, I'm a computer engineer, so I type on a desktop every day.

No grammatical correction needed for tense or verb form. Sentence is acceptable; included here to show it meets the list but requires no change.

× Almost every day I get my work done in my computer, so I need to use a lot of time my laptop and my keyboard.

✓ Almost every day I get my work done on my computer, so I need to spend a lot of time using my laptop and my keyboard.

Use 'on my computer' not 'in my computer'. 'Use a lot of time' is incorrect; the correct verb phrase is 'spend a lot of time'. Also change word order to 'spend a lot of time using' to make the sentence natural.

× I wasn't very into the technology accesses before I started studying computer engineering, so I can say I learn how to type on a keyboard when I started computer engineering 4 years ago.

✓ I wasn't very into technology before I started studying computer engineering, so I can say I learned how to type on a keyboard when I started computer engineering four years ago.

'Technology accesses' is incorrect; use 'technology'. The clause describes past events, so use past tense 'learned' not present 'learn'. Also write numbers in words for formality ('four years ago').

× I improve my typing by a website calledimprovetyping.com.

✓ I improved my typing using a website called improvetyping.com.

The original mixes present simple 'improve' with past context; since improvement is a completed or ongoing result from past practice, 'improved' or 'have improved' fits. Use 'using' or 'by using' to show the method. Also separate words 'calledimprovetyping.com' into 'called improvetyping.com'.

× There is some words and you are writing them without looking the keyboard.

✓ There are some words and you type them without looking at the keyboard.

'There is' should be 'There are' to agree with plural 'words' (singular/plural issue as well). 'You are writing' is awkward for a general instruction; simple present 'you type' is better. Add preposition 'at' after 'looking'.

× So it speeds your writing and also helps you writing without look.

✓ So it speeds up your typing and also helps you write without looking at the keyboard.

Use 'speeds up' not just 'speeds' in this context. 'Your writing' is better as 'your typing'. 'Helps you writing' is incorrect; use bare infinitive 'helps you write'. Add 'looking at the keyboard' for correct preposition and object.
