Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more natural and concise, correct grammar, avoid redundancy and keep within 3–4 sentences. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Also correct tense and article use (e.g., “a quick note”).

例: I prefer typing for long or fast writing because it’s less tiring on my hands and faster overall. However, for quick notes or when I need to draw, I use handwriting instead.

提案: Avoid repetition and tighten structure: begin with a direct topic sentence, then give one clear reason and a brief detail. Use linking words like “because” correctly and watch small grammar points (e.g., "for my studies" rather than "for my studying").

例: I type on a laptop keyboard almost every day because I don’t have a desktop. For example, I use my MacBook for most of my study and writing tasks.

提案: Be more certain and divide into two clear sentences: state the time, then give a supporting detail. Correct grammar (e.g., "a desktop keyboard," past tense consistency). Use linking words like “when” or “and” to connect ideas coherently.

例: I learned to type when I was about seven or eight at primary school. My teacher showed us a desktop keyboard, and I practiced every day to increase my speed.

提案: Avoid filler words and be honest but proactive. Give a clear topic sentence about your current method, then add a specific plan or example of how you could improve. Use linking words like “however” or “but” and correct word order (e.g., "I'm an adult now").

例: I still use two-finger typing, and I know I should improve. However, I practice every day and plan to use an online typing course to learn touch typing and increase my speed.

× When I have to write quickly and long time, I have to use typing because it's more comfortable for my hand.

✓ When I have to write quickly and for a long time, I have to use typing because it's more comfortable for my hands.

Use of 'long time' requires the preposition 'for' and the article 'a' ('for a long time'). Also 'my hand' should be plural 'my hands' because typing involves both hands; this is a noun number/usage issue combined with preposition use. Suggestion: say 'for a long time' and 'my hands'.

× But I have to quick note or Draw Something, I usually use handwriting.

✓ But if I need to take a quick note or draw something, I usually use handwriting.

The original sentence has incorrect verb forms and lacks conjunctions. 'have to quick note' is ungrammatical; use 'need to take a quick note'. 'Draw' should be lowercase and follow 'or'. Also use conditional 'if' to link clauses. Suggestion: use 'if I need to take a quick note or draw something'.

× I only use laptop keyboard almost every day because I don't have any desktop in my room.

✓ I use only a laptop keyboard almost every day because I don't have a desktop in my room.

Word order and article use are incorrect. Place 'only' before what it limits ('a laptop keyboard'). 'Any' is unnecessary in negative sentence with 'desktop'; use 'a desktop'. Also include the article 'a' before 'laptop keyboard'. Suggestion: 'I use only a laptop keyboard almost every day'.

× So I need to use my MacBook keyboard for my studying.

✓ So I need to use my MacBook keyboard for my studies.

'Studying' as a noun is uncountable but awkward here; use the noun 'studies' to refer to academic work. Alternatively 'to study' (verb) could be used. Suggestion: 'for my studies' or 'when I study'.

× I think it's maybe when I was 7 or 8 in primary school my teacher taught me how to use desktop keyboard and I practice every day to type faster.

✓ I think it was when I was 7 or 8 in primary school; my teacher taught me how to use a desktop keyboard and I practiced every day to type faster.

Tense consistency error: 'think it's maybe when I was' should be past reference 'it was'. 'Practice' should be past 'practiced' to match 'taught'. Also need article 'a' before 'desktop keyboard' and punctuation to separate clauses. Suggestion: use past tense throughout when referring to past events.

× Actually I don't, uh, it's really a shame for me, but umm, I still use two finger typing.

✓ Actually I don't; it's really a shame for me, but I still use two-finger typing.

Sentence has disfluencies but grammar points: 'two finger typing' needs a hyphen and should be 'two-finger typing' or 'two-finger typing method'. Also replace comma splice with semicolon or separate sentences. Suggestion: 'Actually I don't; it's really a shame, but I still use two-finger typing.'

× Although I'm adult now, I practice every day still.

✓ Although I'm an adult now, I still practice every day.

Missing article 'an' before 'adult'. Adverb placement: 'still' typically comes before the verb ('still practice') or after auxiliary; 'I still practice every day' is natural. Suggestion: 'Although I'm an adult now, I still practice every day.'
