Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and fluent: remove fillers and repeated phrases, use one clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Correct small grammar issues (e.g., "makes it difficult" → "makes it difficult"). Aim for 2–4 sentences, avoid noises like "Whistled."

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because typed text is clearer and faster to produce. For example, my handwriting is often messy, so I use typing for emails and long notes, while I only use handwriting for quick reminders.

提案: Avoid repetition and long run-on sentences. Start with a direct answer, then give concise reasons using linking words (because, so, therefore). Mention one specific detail (mechanical keys) and one effect (comfort or speed). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: I usually use a desktop keyboard because my laptop broke a year ago. Also, the desktop keyboard has mechanical keys, so typing feels more comfortable and responsive.

提案: Be clearer about meaning: if you mean you are self-taught or learned by practice, say so. Remove hesitations ("uh") and avoid contradicting phrases. Provide a short example of typical tasks to support your point.

例: I didn’t take formal lessons; I learned by practice while doing everyday tasks. For instance, I picked up typing skills from writing emails and editing drafts, but I never practiced for speed or accuracy professionally.

提案: Correct grammar and be concise. Start with a direct statement, then explain reasons and give one possible minor measure (if any) you take. Use linking words (because, so) and avoid repeating words like "draft".

例: I don’t actively try to improve my typing because my job only requires simple tasks. Therefore, I only focus on accuracy for emails and occasional edits rather than practicing speed.

× I prefer typing over handwriting because typed text is often easier to read. Whistled. My handwriting is not always clear and makes it for makes it difficult for the reader to understand it.

✓ I prefer typing over handwriting because typed text is often easier to read. My handwriting is not always clear and sometimes makes it difficult for the reader to understand.

The sentence contained a stray word 'Whistled' and a duplicated phrase 'makes it for makes it'. Remove the stray word and the duplication. Use 'sometimes makes it difficult' to connect the clause smoothly. Suggestion: read aloud to catch extraneous words and repeated fragments.

× Also, typing is faster for me. I keep my handwriting for small notes.

✓ Also, typing is faster for me. I reserve my handwritten notes for small reminders.

'I keep my handwriting for small notes' is awkward because 'keep my handwriting' incorrectly treats handwriting as a removable object. Replace with 'reserve my handwritten notes' or 'use handwriting for small notes' to express the intended meaning clearly.

× I prefer using desktop keyboard over laptop keyboard because my laptop my laptop broke a year ago so I've been using the desktop keyboard ever since and the the switch is amazing because the keyboard often has mechanical keys which makes it fun to type it on and makes it feel comfortable while typing.

✓ I prefer using a desktop keyboard over a laptop keyboard because my laptop broke a year ago, so I've been using the desktop keyboard ever since. The switch is great because the desktop keyboard often has mechanical keys, which make typing more enjoyable and comfortable.

Missing articles ('a desktop keyboard', 'a laptop keyboard') and duplicated phrases ('my laptop my laptop', 'the the'). Also subject-verb agreement: 'which make' refers to 'keys' (plural) so use 'make' not 'makes'. Remove redundant 'it on' and split into two sentences for clarity. Suggestion: include indefinite articles for singular countable nouns and check for duplicated words and agreement between subject and verb.

× When did you learn how to type on a keyboard? Student: I never learned, uh, how to type on a keyboard because I use the keyboard mainly for small tasks every day, like writing emails, editing some drafts. But I don't use it, uh, professionally or to do heavy, uh, type of work that requires speed and precision.

✓ I never formally learned how to touch-type because I mainly use the keyboard for small daily tasks, like writing emails and editing drafts. I don't use it professionally or for heavy typing work that requires speed and precision.

Awkward phrasing and filler words ('uh') reduce clarity. 'I never learned how to type' is acceptable but 'formally learned how to touch-type' is more precise. 'Editing some drafts' should be 'editing drafts'. 'To do heavy type of work' is ungrammatical; use 'for heavy typing work' or 'for intensive typing tasks'. Suggestion: remove fillers and use concise noun phrases.

× How do you improve your typing? Student: I don't try to improve my writing because my work is simply consists of small simple tasks as a as like writing emails and draft and editing some drafts.

✓ I don't try to improve my typing because my work simply consists of small, simple tasks, such as writing emails and editing drafts.

Multiple errors: 'improve my writing' should be 'improve my typing' to match the question. 'Is simply consists of' is ungrammatical; use 'simply consists of'. Remove filler 'as a as like' and use 'such as'. Use plural 'drafts' consistently. Suggestion: make sure the pronoun/reference matches the question and eliminate redundant words.

× So my work doesn't require fast typing or any professional skills on key on a keyboard.

✓ So my work doesn't require fast typing or professional keyboarding skills.

Awkward phrasing 'skills on key on a keyboard' is ungrammatical. Replace with 'professional keyboarding skills' or 'professional typing skills'. Ensure present tense 'doesn't require' remains and simplify the noun phrase. Suggestion: prefer concise expressions like 'typing skills' and avoid repeated prepositions.
