Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and direct. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (for example, because or since). Avoid filler words (uh, like) and grammatical mistakes (e.g. “I'm useful for handwriting for the typing” is incorrect). Aim for 2–3 sentences, with one specific example.

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because it feels more personal and I learned to write this way at school. For example, when I was a child we copied lessons from the board, which made handwriting familiar and comfortable for me.

提案: Give a clear, confident answer and support it with one specific reason. Use linking words like because or since and correct noun phrases (e.g., 'laptop keyboard is convenient and efficient'). Remove hesitations and avoid repeating 'I think' more than once.

例: I usually type on a laptop keyboard because it is more convenient and portable. Since I can change settings and use it anywhere, it fits my daily routine better than a desktop.

提案: Answer with a clear time reference and provide concise supporting details. Use correct tense and fewer fillers. Replace vague phrases ('6-7 standard') with '6th or 7th grade' and link sentences with words like 'when' or 'because'. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

例: I learned to type when I was in 6th or 7th grade at school. In our computer class we practiced basic typing in the lab, typing our names, class, and roll numbers.

提案: Provide a direct answer and list one or two specific methods, using clear linking words (for example, by or through). Name concrete tools succinctly and explain briefly how they help. Avoid repeated fillers and incorrect pluralization ('a number of websites').

例: I improve my typing by practicing with online programs and typing software. For example, I use TypingMaster and online typing tests to practice speed and accuracy, which helps me reduce errors and increase words per minute.

× I think I prefer handwriting instead of typing.

✓ I think I prefer handwriting to typing.

Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A instead of B'. Replace 'instead of' with 'to' for correct collocation.

× I don't know why because like for handwriting, it's like, uh, it's been a part of my childhood and my adulthood.

✓ I don't know why, but handwriting has been a part of my childhood and adult life.

Avoid redundant fillers and incorrect noun 'my adulthood'. Use 'but' to connect clauses; use simple present perfect 'has been' to show experience up to now; use 'adult life' or 'adulthood' without 'my' repeated. Remove filler words for clarity.

× Like for example, in school, the teacher is sitting on the board and we are just copying with the handwriting.

✓ For example, at school the teacher would write on the board and we would copy it by hand.

Incorrect verb 'is sitting on the board' and awkward phrasing 'copying with the handwriting'. Use past habitual or general past (would) or simple past; use 'write on the board' and 'copy by hand' for natural English.

× So I'm useful for handwriting for the typing.

✓ So I'm more comfortable with handwriting than typing.

Original sentence is ungrammatical. Use comparative structure 'more comfortable with A than B' to express preference. 'Useful for' is inappropriate here.

× I thought I type on the laptop keyboard instead of a desktop because laptop keyboard is like a convenient and efficient I think so like even the laptop keyboard we can change some features, but the desktop it's like not very much useful.

✓ I prefer to type on a laptop keyboard rather than a desktop because the laptop keyboard is convenient and efficient. You can change some settings on a laptop, while a desktop keyboard is not as useful for me.

Multiple issues: tense and subject-verb agreement ('laptop keyboard is' singular needs 'the'), awkward 'I thought I type' should be 'I prefer to type' for habitual preference. Remove fillers. Use 'settings' not 'features' if referring to customization; compare using 'not as useful' rather than 'not very much useful'.

× When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?

✓ When did you learn to type on a keyboard?

Use 'learn to do' rather than 'learn how to do' is acceptable but more natural 'learn to type'. Both are grammatical; provide improved concise version. Tense (past) is correct.

× I think it may be like a 6-7 standard because because in my school we have a like a computer class and we will go to like the computer lab and we will sit on the computer bench and we can just do the like that typing, writing our name, writing our class name, roll number.

✓ I think it was around 6th or 7th grade because at my school we had a computer class and we used to go to the computer lab, sit at the computer bench, and practice typing simple things like our names, class, and roll numbers.

Use past tense 'was', 'had', 'used to' for past habitual actions. Replace '6-7 standard' with '6th or 7th grade'. Remove redundant 'like' and repeated words. Use 'practice typing' and list examples clearly.

× How do you improve your typing?

✓ How do you improve your typing?

This sentence is already correct. Present simple question asks about habitual actions; no change needed.

× I think I can improve my typing with like, generally typing with like, uh, software or like in the Google, there's a number of website that, uh, helps to improve your typing like, uh, typing master, you can type a several words, several sentences, so it can increase your typing, I think.

✓ I think I can improve my typing by practicing with software or websites. For example, Google offers several websites such as TypingMaster where you can type words and sentences to increase your speed and accuracy.

Use 'by' to indicate method ('improve by practicing'), not 'with' repeatedly. Correct 'there's a number of website' to 'there are several websites'. Use plural verbs with plural nouns ('websites that help'). Remove filler words 'like, uh'. Clarify purpose 'to increase speed and accuracy'.
