Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but has repetition and small language errors. Keep it concise (max 4–5 sentences), avoid repeating phrases, and use precise expressions (e.g., "reduces writer's block" or "reduces my stress"). Add a brief specific example to make it more convincing. Also correct minor grammar issues like "first draft" and remove duplicated words.

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me brainstorm more effectively and reduces my stress when I begin writing. For example, when planning essays I sketch mind maps and jot quick ideas by hand before typing them up, which helps me organise my thoughts more clearly.

提案: Your main idea is understandable but there are multiple grammar and word-choice errors and a repetition. Use a clear topic sentence, correct prepositions, and choose the right vocabulary (e.g., "I'm at home or on the go"). Replace "voice laptop" (unclear) with the intended phrase (e.g., "a regular laptop"). Add one specific reason or example to support convenience claim.

例: Not really; I usually type on my iPad or phone because they are more convenient when I’m at home or on the go. For example, I can reply to emails on the train using my phone, whereas a regular laptop is heavier and less practical for quick tasks.

提案: Good direct response and personal detail, but fix grammar ("when I was a child"), avoid repetition and unnecessary sentence fragments. Combine short sentences into a coherent brief narrative and use linking words like "so" or "then" to show sequence.

例: I didn’t learn in a formal class; I taught myself by imitating my sister when I was a child. She typed quickly, so I watched her fingers and practised on my laptop until I picked the skill up.

提案: The content is good and specific, but there are grammar issues and redundancy. Use correct noun forms and verb tenses ("one of the best ways", "recordings", "it helps me"). Simplify and link ideas: explain the method and the result in two clear sentences. Avoid repeating phrases like "it is".

例: One of the best ways I improve my typing is by transcribing audio. For example, I listen to BBC Radio recordings and type everything I hear, which helps increase both my speed and accuracy because it forces me to keep up with natural spoken language.

× To be honest, I prefer handwriting because it helps me brainstorm more effectively and reduce my stretch when I start writing.

✓ To be honest, I prefer handwriting because it helps me brainstorm more effectively and reduces my strain when I start writing.

Error: 'reduce my stretch' is unidiomatic and 'reduce' does not agree with singular subject 'it' which requires 'reduces'. Use 'strain' instead of 'stretch' to convey effort or tension. Suggestion: use the third-person singular verb 'reduces' to match subject 'it' and replace 'stretch' with 'strain' for correct meaning.

× I usually write notes and first draft by hand by hand instead of typing on my iPhone or iPad.

✓ I usually write notes and the first draft by hand instead of typing on my iPhone or iPad.

Error: repetition 'by hand by hand' and missing article before 'first draft'. Use definite article 'the' for a specific draft. Suggestion: remove duplicate phrase and add 'the' -> 'the first draft'.

× No, not really. I usually type on my iPad and my phone because they are more convenient when I am at at home or on go.

✓ No, not really. I usually type on my iPad and my phone because they are more convenient when I am at home or on the go.

Errors: duplicated 'at at', missing article 'the' in 'on the go'. Suggestion: remove duplicate word and add article 'the' to the idiom 'on the go'.

× I have voice laptop because I find them less portable and they demand more concentration to use.

✓ I have a laptop for voice work, but I find it less portable and requiring more concentration to use.

Errors: 'voice laptop' is unclear; missing article 'a' before 'laptop'; incorrect plural pronoun 'them' referring to singular 'laptop'. Suggestion: add 'a', make pronoun agree ('it'), and rephrase 'requiring more concentration' for clarity.

× I didn't learn to type in a formal class. I learned by imitating my sister when I was child.

✓ I didn't learn to type in a formal class. I learned by imitating my sister when I was a child.

Error: missing article 'a' before 'child'. Suggestion: include 'a' -> 'a child' for correct past-time expression.

× She typed quickly and I watched her fingers and practiced on my laptop until I picked it up. Pick it up.

✓ She typed quickly, and I watched her fingers and practiced on my laptop until I picked it up.

Error: redundant fragment 'Pick it up.' and run-on structure lacking proper punctuation. Suggestion: remove the repeated fragment and connect clauses with a comma or conjunction for smooth flow.

× One of the best way to improve my typing is to practice transcription.

✓ One of the best ways to improve my typing is to practice transcription.

Error: 'One of the' requires plural noun 'ways'. Suggestion: change 'way' to 'ways' to match the phrase 'one of the'.

× I listen to recording from BBC Radio or YouTube and I try to type everything I hear which is help me develop my typing speed and accuracy because it's focused me to is forced me to keep up with spoken language.

✓ I listen to recordings from BBC Radio or YouTube, and I try to type everything I hear, which helps me develop my typing speed and accuracy because it forces me to keep up with spoken language.

Multiple errors: 'recording' should be plural 'recordings'; missing commas for clauses; 'which is help me' incorrect verb form and agreement—use 'which helps me'; 'it's focused me to is forced me' is ungrammatical—use 'it forces me'. Suggestion: pluralize 'recordings', fix clause punctuation, and use correct verb forms 'helps' and 'forces'.
