Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar and fluency, reduce hesitations and filler words, and clarify the final point. Use a clear topic sentence, two concise supporting reasons with linking words, and correct verb forms. Keep within 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting is messy and hard to read. Also, typing makes it easy to edit text and copy and paste when needed. Furthermore, my work syncs across my devices, so I can access it anywhere.

提案: Be more concise and correct word choice (e.g., 'carry' or 'carry it'). Remove fillers and finish the sentence. Start with a direct topic sentence and give one or two specific reasons using linking words.

例: I type on a laptop every day because I prefer studying outside, for example in cafés and libraries. It is lighter and easier to carry than a desktop, so I can work wherever I want.

提案: Avoid many hesitations and correct tense and grammar. Give a clear time reference, use linking words to explain how classes helped, and provide a specific example of practice. Keep answer to 2–3 fluent sentences.

例: I learned to type in elementary school during computer classes. We practiced with typing tests and games, which helped me improve accuracy and speed over time.

提案: Use correct tense and more specific details about practice methods. Replace fillers and vague phrases with concrete examples (timed practice, online tutors, posture) and link reasons to results. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: I improve my typing through regular practice, especially by doing timed typing exercises and completing homework on my laptop. This consistent practice has increased both my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer to typing.

✓ I prefer typing.

After the verb 'prefer' when expressing a general preference followed by a verb, use the base verb or gerund without 'to'. 'Prefer to typing' mixes the 'to' infinitive with a gerund. Use 'prefer typing' or 'prefer to type'. Suggestion: say 'I prefer typing' or 'I prefer to type'.},{

× I prefer typing to writing by hands because my handwriting is messy and often hard to read.

✓ I prefer typing to writing by hand because my handwriting is messy and often hard to read.

The correct idiom is 'by hand' not 'by hands'. 'By hand' is fixed phrase meaning written manually. Also 'writing' is fine as a noun here. Suggestion: use 'by hand'.

× When I type something, uh, it's really convenient to add it, copy and paste text.

✓ When I type something, it's really convenient to add, copy, and paste text.

The original sentence has extraneous 'it' after 'add' and lacks parallel structure. Use parallel verbs 'add, copy, and paste' without inserting 'it'. Also remove filler 'uh' for clarity. Suggestion: maintain parallel verb forms and omit unnecessary pronouns.

× If I like that it's synced with my ball, so.

✓ I like that it's synced with my phone, so it's convenient.

The phrase 'my ball' is likely an incorrect word choice or mispronunciation; context suggests 'phone' or 'tablet'. Also sentence fragment 'If I like that...' is ungrammatical. Rephrase to a complete sentence: 'I like that it's synced with my phone, so it's convenient.' Suggestion: choose correct noun and write a complete clause.

× I type on the laptop every day because I love to study outside such as cafes and the libraries.

✓ I type on my laptop every day because I love to study outside, such as in cafes and libraries.

Use 'my laptop' (possessive) and the preposition 'in' with 'cafes' and 'libraries'. 'The libraries' is unnatural unless referring to specific libraries; use 'libraries'. Also change 'study outside such as cafes' to 'study outside, such as in cafes and libraries' for clarity. Suggestion: include possessive, correct prepositions, and natural plural nouns.

× Uh, so it's very convenient to put a carrier. And.

✓ So it's very convenient to carry it around.

Original is fragmented and contains incorrect phrasing 'put a carrier'. Likely intended meaning is that a laptop is easy to carry. Rephrase to complete sentence: 'So it's very convenient to carry it around.' Suggestion: express the idea as a full clause and use the verb 'carry'.

× When I was in elementary school, we had a computer class, uh, we often played simple typing tests, which, uh, makes us to, it's made us improve, uh, typing skill and it, umm, uh, so we.

✓ When I was in elementary school, we had a computer class where we often played simple typing tests, which helped us improve our typing skills.

Multiple errors: incorrect tense and verb forms. 'Which makes us to' is wrong; use past 'helped us' to match 'we had'. 'Improve' should be paired with 'helped us' as 'helped us improve' or 'helped us to improve'. 'Typing skill' should be plural 'typing skills'. Remove fillers and sentence fragments to make a complete sentence. Suggestion: match past tense across clauses and use correct verb patterns ('helped us improve').

× There aren't any special tips, just regular practice is the best way to improve my typing skills.

✓ There aren't any special tips; regular practice is the best way to improve my typing skills.

Sentence punctuation and structure: replace comma splice with semicolon or separate sentences. Grammatically 'There aren't any special tips' is fine. Keep 'regular practice is the best way' as a full clause. No article needed before 'regular practice'. Suggestion: avoid comma splice by using semicolon or period.

× Usually I did a homework or assignments on a laptop or desktop.

✓ Usually I did homework or assignments on a laptop or desktop.

Use 'did homework' not 'did a homework' because 'homework' is uncountable and does not take 'a'. Also 'assignments' plural is fine. Tense 'did' is acceptable if referring to past habit; if meaning current habit use 'usually I do'. Suggestion: remove the article before uncountable 'homework' and consider tense consistency.

× Uh, it made me increase.

✓ That helped me improve my typing speed.

'It made me increase' is incomplete and ungrammatical. Specify what increased (e.g., speed or accuracy) and use correct verb 'helped me improve' or 'increased my speed'. Suggestion: state the object and use appropriate verb ('increase' requires an object or use 'improve').
