Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is a bit wordy and contains minor grammar issues. Reduce redundancy (e.g., avoid repeating "over handwriting" and "over typewriting"), fix subject-verb agreement and use one linking word to connect contrasting ideas. Aim for 3–4 concise sentences.

例: I prefer typing because it lets me correct mistakes easily and I type faster than I write. However, for personal notes or letters I choose handwriting because it feels more sincere.

提案: The response answers the question but is slightly informal and contains awkward phrasing ("as of the moment"). Be more direct, use a clear frequency phrase, and link reason with a concise clause. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: I usually type on either a desktop or a laptop about five days a week. This is because my current job involves preparing documents, which requires regular typing.

提案: Good content and a clear time reference, but fix tense agreement and hesitations (e.g., "uh"). Use linking words and be specific about the stage (e.g., "elementary school"). Keep sentences polished and avoid unnecessary filler.

例: I learned to type in elementary school because we had to prepare printed reports. Typing on a computer made our work look more presentable and saved time.

提案: The answer has grammar errors ("approve" should be "improve") and repeats the same idea. Remove repetition, correct verb forms, and give a specific method or example of practice (e.g., timed exercises, online lessons). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: I improve my typing by practicing daily with timed exercises and online lessons. As a result, my speed and accuracy have steadily increased.

× But for correspondences that needs personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

✓ But for correspondence that needs a personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

The noun 'correspondences' is plural but the verb 'needs' is singular, causing inconsistency; use the uncountable or singular noun 'correspondence' and add the article 'a' before 'personal touch' to be idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'correspondence' or 'pieces of correspondence' and match verb number accordingly.

× But for correspondences that needs personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

✓ But for correspondence that needs a personal touch, I prefer handwriting over typewriting.

The relative clause 'that needs' requires a singular subject; after changing to 'correspondence' the verb 'needs' is correct. Previously plural 'correspondences' would require 'need'. Ensure subject and verb agree in number.

× I prefer typing over handwriting in general, because typing allows you to erase your mistakes without a trace as compared to handwriting.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting in general, because typing allows you to erase your mistakes without a trace compared to handwriting.

Use the correct comparative preposition 'prefer A to B' rather than 'prefer A over B'. Also 'as compared to' is wordy; 'compared to' or 'than' is better. Suggestion: say 'prefer typing to handwriting' and 'compared to handwriting'.

× I learned to type on a keyboard back in elementary as we had to prepare reports which requires printing and uh, typing it on a computer would make these reports much more presentable.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard back in elementary school because we had to prepare reports which required printing, and typing them on a computer made those reports much more presentable.

Multiple agreement and tense issues: 'requires' should be past 'required' to match 'learned'; 'elementary' should be 'elementary school'; 'typing it' should agree in number with 'reports' so 'typing them'; 'would make' shifts tense awkwardly—use past 'made' to match context. Ensure consistent past tense and plural agreement.

× Yes, I type on a desktop or laptop, but not really every day, maybe just five times a week because my work as of the moment is more on preparing documents.

✓ Yes, I type on a desktop or laptop, but not every day, maybe just five times a week because at the moment my work is more about preparing documents.

Awkward phrase 'as of the moment' is nonstandard; use 'at the moment'. 'More on preparing documents' is unnatural—use 'more about preparing documents'. Keep simple present to describe habitual action.

× I approve my typing, but just practicing it daily and I think I've been doing good.

✓ I improve my typing by just practicing daily, and I think I've been doing well.

'Approve' is incorrect verb; 'improve' fits meaning. The phrase 'just practicing it daily' needs a preposition 'by' to show method. Use 'well' not 'good' for adverb modifying 'doing'. Maintain present perfect continuous or present perfect as appropriate.

× I think I've been typing words faster than usual as I practice each day.

✓ I think I've been typing words faster than usual because I practice each day.

Mixing present perfect continuous 'I've been typing' with 'as I practice each day' is awkward; use 'because' to show reason. Alternatively, 'I've been typing words faster than usual since I started practicing each day.' Keep tense consistent and place adverbs close to verbs they modify.
