Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant with appropriate detail. To improve, make the response more concise (max 5 sentences), add a stronger topic sentence, vary vocabulary (e.g., 'revise' instead of 'edit'), and include one specific example to support your point. Use a linking phrase to connect reasons.

例: I prefer typing because it lets me check spelling and revise text quickly. For example, when writing emails at work I can correct mistakes and rearrange sentences in seconds, which saves time. Also, typing is faster for me than handwriting, especially for taking notes during meetings.

提案: Good direct answer and relevant reasons. To improve, begin with a clear topic sentence, avoid repeating 'because', add a linking word (e.g., 'furthermore'), and include a specific short example of where/how you use it. Keep it within five sentences.

例: I usually use a laptop keyboard daily because it's portable and convenient. For instance, I often bring my laptop to a café to work remotely; furthermore, its compact keyboard makes it comfortable to type on small tables.

提案: The answer gives an age but has grammar and clarity issues. Improve by using correct past tense and clearer phrasing (e.g., 'when I was seven or eight'). Avoid filler words ('like'), and use a linking phrase if adding more detail. You could briefly mention how you learned (classes, games) for specificity.

例: I started learning to type when I was about seven or eight years old. I learned through a computer class at school and by practicing typing games at home, which helped me remember the keyboard layout.

提案: Solid content and honesty about ongoing improvement. Improve by using a clearer topic sentence, replace 'timing' with 'accuracy' or 'speed' if appropriate, add a linking word ('therefore'/'as a result'), and give a concrete method or frequency (e.g., 'I practice 20 minutes a day with a typing app').

例: I improve my typing mainly through daily practice at work, where I type a lot of emails and reports. Additionally, I use a typing app for 20 minutes each evening to build speed and accuracy, so I can eventually touch-type without looking at the keys.

× I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard because it's easier for me to check the spelling and edit my text quickly.

✓ I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard because it's easier for me to check spelling and edit my text quickly.

Remove the definite article 'the' before 'spelling' because 'spelling' is an uncountable general activity here. Using 'the spelling' sounds unnatural. Suggestion: say 'check spelling' when referring to the general ability to spell words.

× I'm more comfortable typing than handwriting, and I can type much faster when taking notes or writing emails.

✓ I'm more comfortable typing than handwriting, and I can type much faster when I take notes or write emails.

Maintain parallel and natural present simple tense for habitual actions: 'when I take notes' and 'write emails' are better than the present participle forms used after 'when' in this context. Use subject + verb for clarity.

× I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard because I can easily take my laptop with me to a cafe or to work, which makes it more convenient for me.

✓ I prefer typing on a laptop keyboard because I can easily take my laptop with me to a cafe or to work, which makes it more convenient for me.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It uses present simple appropriately to express habitual preference. (No correction applied.)

× I started learning how to type on the keyboard since I was young.

✓ I started learning how to type on the keyboard when I was young.

Use 'when' with 'started' to indicate a point in past time. 'Since' should be used with a continuing action and a time reference (e.g., 'since I was young' with present perfect). Because 'started' is past simple, 'when I was young' is correct.

× I was about 7:00 or 8:00 when I started like learning how to type and how to remember the keyboard.

✓ I was about seven or eight years old when I started learning how to type and how to remember the keyboard.

Do not use clock times (7:00 or 8:00) to indicate age; use 'seven or eight years old'. Remove filler 'like' which is informal and unnecessary. Also 'remember the keyboard' is awkward; keep it but consider 'remember the key positions' for clarity.

× I've improved my timing mainly through practice at work because I have to type a lot daily.

✓ I've improved my timing mainly through practice at work because I have to type a lot every day.

Replace 'daily' with 'every day' for more natural spoken English in this context; both are grammatically acceptable but 'every day' is preferred. The tense 'have improved' is fine here to indicate experience up to now.

× I'm still working on my typing speed and touch typing so I can type without looking at the keyboard.

✓ I'm still working on my typing speed and touch-typing so that I can type without looking at the keyboard.

Use a hyphen for the compound noun 'touch-typing' and add 'so that' for clearer purpose clause; the original is understandable but this improves formality and clarity. The verb forms are otherwise correct.
