Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and structured: state your preference clearly, give one or two specific reasons, and avoid fillers (uh, so). Use linking words (because, whereas) properly and keep to 2–4 sentences.

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me generate ideas more freely and I can quickly cross out and revise my notes. However, I also type when I need speed and neatness for formal documents.

提案: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and grammatical errors. Mention specific tasks as supporting details, and omit unnecessary phrases like 'Thank you' or repeated hesitations.

例: Yes, I use a laptop every day to create PowerPoint presentations, edit PDFs and write Word documents for my work and studies.

提案: Give a precise time and concise background. Avoid vague age guesses and irrelevant technical details. Use past tense for learning and provide one clear reason or short anecdote to support your answer.

例: I started learning to type at around four years old because my father, who was a software engineer, taught me basic keyboard skills and Windows usage to help me get comfortable with computers.

提案: Organize your answer: start with a topic sentence, then list 3 practical methods with brief specifics, and finish with a concise summary. Use natural phrases and correct idioms (e.g. 'practice makes perfect').

例: I improve my typing mainly by regular practice and taking online lessons. For example, I use typing websites and YouTube tutorials to learn correct finger placement, and I also practice daily with short timed exercises to build speed and accuracy.

× I type on the laptop every day as I does, as I do my, uh, PowerPoint presentations and PDFs in Word documents and I, I usually, uh, do my, uh, work on my laptop.

✓ I type on the laptop every day as I do my PowerPoint presentations and PDFs in Word documents, and I usually do my work on my laptop.

The error is using 'does' with the first person subject 'I'. In present simple, 'do' is used with I/you/we/they and 'does' with he/she/it. Remove the incorrect 'does' to match subject-verb agreement and simplify redundant pauses.'

× I learn about when I was three years old, I was, uh, four years old or something like that from a small alphabetical order.

✓ I learned when I was about three or four years old, from a simple alphabetical order exercise.

The speaker used present tense 'learn' to describe a past action. Use past simple 'learned' (or 'learnt') for completed past events. Also rephrase for clarity: 'about three or four years old' and specify 'simple alphabetical order exercise' to make the sentence natural.'

× As my father was, uh, software engineer, he always wanted me to have, uh, a kind of good knowledge in the system, XP, you know, Windows and all this stuff.

✓ As my father was a software engineer, he always wanted me to have a good knowledge of the system, like Windows XP and related things.

Incorrect or missing prepositions and articles: add the indefinite article 'a' before 'software engineer' and use 'knowledge of' rather than 'knowledge in'. Also 'Windows XP' is the correct phrasing and 'and related things' is more natural than 'all this stuff.'

× And he always wanna have me from the Java side of center.

✓ And he always wanted me to learn Java and related programming concepts.

Colloquial 'wanna' is inappropriate and the sentence structure is unclear. Use past tense 'wanted' and the infinitive 'to learn' to express intention. Rephrase 'Java side of center' to 'Java and related programming concepts' for clarity.'

× For improving typing, there are many ways We have to go to the typist, the writer who helps us to gain an accurate and exactly what we need.

✓ To improve typing, there are many ways. We can go to a typing instructor or a trainer who helps us become accurate and achieve what we need.

Starting with 'For improving' is awkward; use the infinitive 'To improve' for purpose. 'Typist, the writer' is incorrect here; 'typing instructor' or 'trainer' is more accurate. Also 'gain an accurate and exactly' is ungrammatical: use 'become accurate' and 'achieve' for clarity.'

× And we can get knowledge from the institutions.

✓ And we can gain knowledge from institutions.

'Get knowledge from the institutions' is grammatical but awkward. Use 'gain knowledge from institutions' to sound natural in present simple describing general truth; drop the definite article unless referring to specific institutions.'

× We can get from the YouTube, from the online classes, from my friends, from colleagues.

✓ We can learn from YouTube, online classes, friends, and colleagues.

'Get from the YouTube' is incorrect; use 'learn from YouTube' or 'from online classes.' Remove unnecessary articles and streamline the list to natural prepositions for sources of learning.'

× And what I feel is practice makes man perfect.

✓ And what I feel is that practice makes perfect.

The idiom is 'practice makes perfect.' 'Practice makes man perfect' is archaic and awkward. Add 'that' for a complete reported clause: 'what I feel is that practice makes perfect.'
