Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammatical accuracy, conciseness and coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct articles and verb forms, and add one specific supporting detail with a linking word. Avoid redundancy and keep within 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take lecture notes by hand, I retain concepts longer and can review them more easily later. Because writing forces me to summarise, I process ideas more deeply.

提案: Correct vocabulary and grammar, make sentences coherent and specific. Use linking words (but, because, for example). Mention one clear reason and one concrete example; fix word choice errors (e.g. 'converted' -> 'convenient' or 'efficient').

例: Yes, I type every day, but I usually use my phone because it lets me work from different locations. For example, I often write emails and edit reports on the train or in a café, which is much more convenient than using a desktop computer.

提案: Fix sentence structure and verb forms; provide a clear timeline and connect ideas with linking words. Begin with a direct answer (age or period), then explain briefly how you learned, avoiding fragments and unclear phrases.

例: I learned to type at about ten years old. I started practising on my family computer, and regular use of phones and laptops helped me improve quickly because the layouts are similar.

提案: This answer is unclear and contains many grammar and vocabulary errors. Give a short, structured response: state a method you use to improve typing, explain how it helps, and give a specific example. Use correct verb forms and simpler vocabulary if unsure.

例: I improve my typing by practising with typing apps and by copying short articles every day. For example, I use a phone app that times my speed and highlights mistakes, so I can focus on accuracy and gradually type faster.

× when I take notes by hand doing lectures, I retain concept longer and can review them more easily later.

✓ when I take notes by hand during lectures, I retain concepts longer and can review them more easily later.

The phrase 'doing lectures' is incorrect; use the preposition 'during' + noun to indicate time (Grammar problem type 10). Also 'concept' should be plural to match 'notes' and the intended general meaning (singular/plural issue). Suggestion: use 'during lectures' and 'concepts' so the sentence reads naturally.

× Yes, I type on keyboard every day, but I usually use my phone because it lets me work from different location.

✓ Yes, I type on a keyboard every day, but I usually use my phone because it lets me work from different locations.

The noun 'keyboard' requires the indefinite article 'a' when talking about typing in general (article error, type 22). 'different location' should be plural 'different locations' to match general usage (singular/plural issue). Use 'a keyboard' and 'different locations'.

× For example, I often write emails and show reports on the train or in a cafe, which is much more converted using a desk computer.

✓ For example, I often write emails and share reports on the train or in a cafe, which is much more convenient than using a desktop computer.

'show reports' is unnatural here; 'share reports' or 'view reports' fits the meaning. 'converted' is incorrect; the intended adjective is 'convenient'. Also 'desk computer' should be 'desktop computer'. The comparative structure needs 'more convenient than' (sentence structure error, type 26).

× I don't think you need formal lessons to type on table because keyboards and touchscreens are very intuitive.

✓ I don't think you need formal lessons to type on a tablet because keyboards and touchscreens are very intuitive.

The word 'table' is a noun mismatch; context suggests 'tablet' (device). This is a word choice/lexical error but fits under modal context as the clause begins with 'need' (modal/necessity, type 4). Also consider adding 'a' before 'tablet' if referring to one device: 'on a tablet'.

× Started practicing on my family computer when I was about 10 and regular use of phones and laptops made me comfortable with to bring fairly quickly.

✓ I started practicing on my family computer when I was about 10, and regular use of phones and laptops made me comfortable with typing fairly quickly.

The sentence lacks the subject 'I' at the start (sentence structure error, type 26). 'comfortable with to bring' is ungrammatical; the correct form is 'comfortable with typing'. Combine clauses with a comma and include the subject to make the sentence complete.

× In handwriting I'm very long and so many times I'm practicing two types of words and have my enlightened, but on my phone I also typing more.

✓ When handwriting, I write slowly and for a long time, so I practice many words and improve, but on my phone I also type more.

The original sentence has multiple issues: 'In handwriting I'm very long' is ungrammatical; it should express writing slowly and for a long time. 'so many times I'm practicing two types of words and have my enlightened' is unclear and incorrect. Rewrite to convey 'I practice many words and improve'. 'I also typing more' needs the correct verb form 'type' (present simple) and subject-verb agreement. These are sentence structure and verb form errors (types 26 and 6).
