Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer addresses the question and gives pros for both typing and handwriting, but it has some unnatural phrasing and minor grammatical errors. Make the topic sentence direct, avoid unclear words (e.g. “board”), and tighten sentences to be more natural. Use one or two linking words (e.g. "however", "for example") and one specific example to support your point. Keep it within 3–4 clear sentences.

例: I prefer typing for most tasks because it is faster and more efficient. However, handwriting can feel more personal and helps me remember information better; for example, I recall lecture notes more easily if I write them by hand. So I usually type for emails and drafts but handwrite important notes.

提案: The answer contains several grammar and clarity problems and some irrelevant information. Start with a clear direct response (desktop, laptop, or both), then briefly explain why using specific, relevant reasons. Avoid tense and article errors, and limit to 2–3 supporting sentences with linking words like "because" or "so".

例: I use both a desktop and a laptop regularly. I started practicing on keyboards two months ago because the IELTS test moved to computer format and I needed to improve my speed. Otherwise I usually use my phone for chatting and quick searches.

提案: Good content and a clear timeframe, but grammar and phrasing need correction (articles, verb forms, word order). Begin with a direct topic sentence stating when, then add one or two supporting details with linking words like "because" or "so". Use past tense consistently for past events.

例: I learned to type in ninth grade when we had daily computer classes at school. The teacher taught typing techniques, and I practiced at home every day, which made me faster and more confident.

提案: The response gives practical methods but has grammatical errors and some unclear phrases. Use correct noun-verb agreement, plural/singular forms, and clearer expressions for tools and outcomes. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add specific details and link them (e.g. "for example", "so").

例: I improve my typing through consistent daily practice. For example, I practice 20–25 minutes each day on a free site like TypingClub, which tracks my progress and highlights my weak keys, so I can focus on accuracy and increase my speed.

× I prefer board because each has its advantages.

✓ I prefer writing by hand because each has its advantages.

The pronoun 'board' is incorrect and unclear here; context suggests 'handwriting' or 'writing by hand'. Replace with 'writing by hand' to match meaning and maintain grammatical clarity.

× I have using desktop and laptop keyboard since last two months because I heard about IELTS test which is converted paper to computer.

✓ I have been using a desktop and a laptop keyboard for the past two months because I heard that the IELTS test has been converted from paper to computer.

'Have using' is incorrect; present perfect continuous requires 'have been using'. Add articles ('a desktop','a laptop') and use 'for the past two months' for duration. Use 'that' to introduce the clause and correct tense 'has been converted' for passive recent change.

× So I was not a good typer for the test.

✓ So I was not a good typist for the test.

'Typer' is informal and awkward; 'typist' is the correct noun. The sentence structure is otherwise fine.

× I use keyboard otherwise I am using my mobile phone for online chat and searching.

✓ I use a keyboard; otherwise I use my mobile phone for online chat and searching.

Mixing 'use' and 'am using' is inconsistent. Keep simple present 'use' for habitual actions. Add article 'a' before 'keyboard'.

× That was enough.

✓ That was enough.

The sentence is grammatically correct in past tense and fits context; no change necessary.

× If I recall correctly, when I was in my 9th grade we had a computer classes on the daily basis.

✓ If I recall correctly, when I was in ninth grade we had computer classes on a daily basis.

Use ordinal 'ninth' not '9th' in formal writing, remove extra article 'a' before plural 'computer classes', and use the idiom 'on a daily basis'.

× Teacher taught us different skills about typing and when I came back to home I do practicing on my home computer which helped me get faster and more confident.

✓ The teacher taught us different typing skills, and when I came back home I practiced on my home computer, which helped me become faster and more confident.

Add definite article 'the' before 'teacher'; use 'practiced' (simple past) not 'do practicing'; remove unnecessary 'to' in 'came back home'; use 'become' to express change in state. Use commas to separate clauses.

× I think improving typing skills require consistent practice.

✓ I think improving typing skills requires consistent practice.

Subject 'improving typing skills' is singular in meaning; therefore verb should be 'requires' (subject-verb agreement).

× I try to practice 20 to 25 minute every day using a free site like Typing Clubs.

✓ I try to practice 20 to 25 minutes every day using a free site like TypingClub.

Use plural 'minutes' for a range and 'every day' needs plural time unit. 'Typing Clubs' likely refers to 'TypingClub' (site name) or use 'typing clubs' lowercase if plural; remove space for brand name.

× It track my progress and show where I am live.

✓ It tracks my progress and shows where I am weak.

Third-person singular subject 'it' requires verbs 'tracks' and 'shows'. 'Live' is incorrect in this context; likely meant 'weak' (areas needing improvement) or 'live' could be 'on live lessons' but 'weak' fits context.

× I often miss mistakes so I can focus on those area and increase my speed and accuracy.

✓ I often make mistakes, so I can focus on those areas and increase my speed and accuracy.

'Miss mistakes' is incorrect; correct verb is 'make mistakes'. 'Those area' should be plural 'those areas'. Add comma before 'so' and keep parallel structure.
