Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct minor grammar and word choice errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail with a linking phrase. Avoid unclear phrases like “playing typed tests” and incorrect form “for emphasize.”

例: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and expressive. For example, when I write homework or letters, I often decorate headings and use different styles to emphasize important points, which gives my writing more character than plain typed text.

提案: Clarify meaning and fix grammar and vocabulary errors. Use one clear reason sentence and one supporting detail with linking words. Replace unclear terms (“test friend”, “Productivity Tools”) with accurate descriptions.

例: I rarely use a desktop; most days I type short messages on my phone or write quick notes by hand. However, I use my laptop for homework and exams because it offers a full keyboard and useful software like word processors and spell-check.

提案: Improve sentence accuracy and coherence. Correct verb forms and word choice, and link ideas with a clear cause-effect phrase. Be specific about what made Chinese harder (e.g., character input).

例: I learned to type in primary school during a weekly computer class where we practised typing exercises and played simple typing games. As a result, I can type quickly in English, but Chinese is harder because it requires special character input methods.

提案: Make the response more direct and correct word choice and collocations. Give one clear method you use or would use, then a specific example of resources or routine. Avoid vague phrases like “taking shots online lessons.”

例: I don’t follow a formal course, but I improve my typing through regular practice. For example, I use a touch-typing app for 15 minutes daily and occasionally take online lessons and speed tests to track my accuracy and increase my words-per-minute.

× I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and allows me to vary my handwriting style.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and allows me to vary my handwriting style.

No change needed; sentence is grammatically correct. Keep as is.

× For example, when I do homework or write letters, I can decorate headings and use different styles for emphasize, which I find more expressive than playing typed tests.

✓ For example, when I do homework or write letters, I can decorate headings and use different styles for emphasis, which I find more expressive than typing on a computer.

The word 'emphasize' is a verb but the noun 'emphasis' is required after 'styles for'. Also 'playing typed tests' is unnatural; likely intended meaning is 'typing on a computer' or 'typing tests'. Use the gerund 'typing' to match noun phrase. Suggestion: replace 'emphasize' with 'emphasis' and 'playing typed tests' with 'typing on a computer'.

× I rarely type on a desktop computer because I'm still a student and usually use my phone to test friend and writing quick notes by hand.

✓ I rarely type on a desktop computer because I'm still a student and usually use my phone to text friends and write quick notes by hand.

Two errors: 'test friend' should be 'text friends' (spelling and pluralization) — incorrect verb and missing plural (IDs 1 and 11). 'writing quick notes' should be parallel infinitive 'write quick notes' after 'use my phone to'. Maintain parallel verb forms.

× I only use the laptop keyboard when I'm doing homework or taking exams since I need more typing space and Productivity Tools.

✓ I only use a laptop keyboard when I'm doing homework or taking exams since I need more typing space and productivity tools.

Use 'a laptop keyboard' rather than 'the laptop keyboard' unless referring to a specific device (article error ID 22). 'Productivity Tools' should not be capitalized unless it's a proper name; use lowercase 'productivity tools'.

× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school.

Sentence is correct in past tense; no change needed.

× We had a weekly computer class where apprentices typing exercise and simple games.

✓ We had a weekly computer class where we practiced typing exercises and played simple games.

Original has wrong subject and verb forms: 'apprentices typing exercise' is ungrammatical. Replace with 'we practiced typing exercises' (past tense 'practiced' matches 'had') and 'played simple games' for parallel past-tense structure.

× As a result, I can type quickly in English.

✓ As a result, I can type quickly in English.

Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed.

× However, Chinese is harder for me because it requires different input methods.

✓ However, Chinese is harder for me because it requires different input methods.

Sentence is correct; no change needed.

× I haven't done any specific to improve my typing, but I think regular practice is the best way to get better.

✓ I haven't done anything specific to improve my typing, but I think regular practice is the best way to get better.

'any specific' is incomplete; the correct phrase is 'anything specific' (quantifier error ID 14). Keep 'to improve' as infinitive after 'specific'.

× For example, using touch typing app or taking shots online lessons combined with daily drills and occasional speed tests can help build both speed and accuracy.

✓ For example, using a touch-typing app or taking short online lessons combined with daily drills and occasional speed tests can help build both speed and accuracy.

Errors: missing article 'a' before 'touch-typing app' (article error ID 22). 'touch typing' should be hyphenated as an adjective 'touch-typing' or 'touch typing' as noun phrase. 'taking shots online lessons' is incorrect — likely 'taking short online lessons' (word choice and adjective order ID 18). Ensuring parallel noun phrases improves clarity.
