Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and organize your answer with a clear topic sentence, one or two specific reasons, and a short concluding remark. Reduce hesitation and avoid repeating ideas. Use linking words like 'because' and 'however' to make your reply coherent.

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me think more clearly and I find it more comfortable for drafting ideas. However, typing is convenient for long reports or when I need to edit quickly.

提案: Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words, and avoid repetition. Correct small grammar errors (e.g., 'I am a student', 'carry a laptop').

例: I usually type on a laptop because I am a university student and laptops are easy to carry around. Also, the laptop keyboard is convenient for taking notes in lectures and working in different campus locations.

提案: Eliminate fillers and use the past tense clearly. Give a concise time reference and one or two specific details about how you learned (course, teacher, age). Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.

例: I learned to type when I was in primary school at about age ten because computer classes were part of the curriculum. The teacher taught us basic typing techniques and we practiced regularly with exercises.

提案: Answer with a clear topic sentence explaining current methods you use to improve, then add specific examples (practice frequency, online tools, exercises). Avoid vague statements and passive voice.

例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly—I spend 15–20 minutes a day on online typing exercises and use typing software to track my accuracy. Also, following my teacher's feedback helped me correct common mistakes.

× It depends on how much I have to write, but I prefer handwriting because it's more comfortable for me and it helps me to put my thoughts on the paper.

✓ It depends on how much I have to write, but I prefer handwriting because it's more comfortable for me and it helps me put my thoughts on the paper.

Remove the unnecessary infinitive marker 'to' after 'helps me'. In English 'help' can be followed by the base form of a verb without 'to' (helps me put). This is a present tense usage and keeping the base form matches the structure and keeps it natural.

× And it's more simple for me, but typing is also convenient.

✓ And it's simpler for me, but typing is also convenient.

Use the comparative adjective 'simpler' instead of the adverb 'more simple'. 'Simple' is an adjective and its comparative is 'simpler'. This corrects adjective form and comparison.

× Usually I use laptop keyboard because I am student and at the university it's more comfortable to type on a laptop keyboard.

✓ Usually I use a laptop keyboard because I am a student and at the university it's more comfortable to type on a laptop keyboard.

Add the indefinite article 'a' before 'laptop keyboard' and 'student' because these are singular countable nouns requiring an article. This fixes article usage.

× Also it's more comfortable to carry on a laptop on in the university and some places.

✓ Also it's more comfortable to carry a laptop to the university and to other places.

Replace 'carry on a laptop on in the university' with 'carry a laptop to the university' and 'and to other places'. Use 'carry a laptop' (not 'carry on'), and 'to' to indicate destination. This corrects preposition and verb phrase usage.

× Umm, I study, umm, uh, type on a keyboard when I was a school, a school student because it's, umm, I was subject in my school and you have to study how to use computer, how to use, uh, your keyboard.

✓ Umm, I learned to type on a keyboard when I was at school, as a school student, because it was a subject at my school and you had to learn how to use a computer and the keyboard.

Use past tense 'learned' instead of present 'study' to match the time frame 'when I was...'. Use 'at school' and 'as a school student' for natural phrasing. 'Was a subject' should be 'it was a subject' or 'it was part of the curriculum'. Use 'you had to learn' and 'a computer' as countable noun. This aligns verbs and articles with past context.

× And, umm, it was, uh, really necessary at this time.

✓ And it was really necessary at that time.

Use past tense 'was' (already present) and replace 'this time' with 'that time' when referring to a past period. Remove filler words for clarity.

× I think it helps me that I study this subject at the school and my teacher was so strict and she always told me to improve my typing skills on a keyboard and laptop.

✓ I think it helped me that I studied this subject at school, and my teacher was very strict; she always told me to improve my typing skills on the keyboard and the laptop.

Switch to past tense 'helped' and 'studied' to match the past reference to schooling and the teacher. Use 'at school' without article, 'very strict' is more natural than 'so strict' in formal correction, and use articles 'the keyboard'/'the laptop' to refer to specific devices in that context. This corrects tense consistency and article usage.
