Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and avoid fillers (e.g., "umm"). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Also correct small grammar issues (e.g., "it is fast to help me" → "it helps me work faster").

例: I prefer typing for work because it helps me work faster and keeps my notes well organized. However, when I study for exams I like handwriting because it helps me remember ideas and allows me to rearrange lecture concepts in my own words.

提案: Use a clear topic sentence and avoid repeating the same idea. Improve sentence variety and correct collocations ("laptop keyboard every day" → "a laptop keyboard every day"). Use linking words to connect reasons more smoothly.

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm a university student and I need to bring my laptop to lectures. Desktops aren't practical for me since they aren't portable, so I rarely use them for note-taking.

提案: Avoid repeating words and improve grammar ("a mandatory classes" → "a mandatory class" or "mandatory classes"). Provide specific details about what you learned and link ideas with words like "because" or "which". Mention how that training impacts you now with a concise example.

例: I learned to type in primary school during mandatory classes that taught us proper keystrokes using the Tangji typing method. That foundation improved my accuracy and now helps me type much faster during university assignments.

提案: Be specific about methods and avoid vague or incomplete sentences. Use linking words to list methods (e.g., "for example", "also") and correct grammar ("efficient of typing" → "typing efficiency"). Finish your thought fully and limit to 3–4 concise sentences.

例: I improve my typing mainly by regular practice: I type all my assignments and lecture notes, which increases my speed and accuracy. I also use online typing exercises several times a week to work on weak areas like punctuation and rhythm.

× I think it depends.

✓ I think it depends.

No change needed; sentence correctly uses present tense 'think' and 'depends' to express a general opinion.

× I prefer typing when I'm working because it is more efficient and it is fast to help me with the organization of notes.

✓ I prefer typing when I'm working because it is more efficient and faster for organizing my notes.

The errors are incorrect adjective/adverb use and awkward phrasing. 'It is fast to help me' is ungrammatical: use comparative adverb 'faster' to compare methods and a prepositional phrase 'for organizing my notes' to show purpose. Suggestion: replace 'it is fast to help me with the organization of notes' with 'faster for organizing my notes.'

× But when I am studying, I prefer umm handwriting because during revision I can use handwriting for recalling and restructure the lecture concepts in my mind.

✓ But when I am studying, I prefer handwriting because during revision I can use it to recall and restructure lecture concepts in my mind.

Problems: unnecessary filler 'umm' (speech marker), repetition 'handwriting' and incorrect verb form 'for recalling' and 'restructure' parallelism. Use pronoun 'it' to avoid repetition, and use infinitive 'to recall' to express purpose. Keep verbs parallel: 'to recall and restructure.'

× I definitely type on laptop keyboard everyday because I'm a university student so I have to bring my laptop all around the universities for my lectures, so I usually type on my laptop.

✓ I definitely type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm a university student, so I have to bring my laptop to my university for lectures; therefore I usually type on my laptop.

Errors: missing article 'a' before 'laptop keyboard', 'everyday' (adjective) should be two words 'every day' (adverb), awkward plural 'universities' when referring to one campus, and repetitive phrasing. Use 'to my university' or 'to university' and improve sentence flow. Suggestion: include articles and correct 'every day.'

× Desktop is not suitable for me because it is not portable, so university students like me won't take it around and type on it.

✓ A desktop computer is not suitable for me because it is not portable, so university students like me do not carry one around to use.

Errors: missing article before 'Desktop', awkward contraction 'won't take it around and type on it' and tense/word choice. Use 'do not carry one around to use' for clarity and correct subject-verb usage. Suggestion: use full form 'do not' in formal speech and include articles.

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

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

Error: article agreement and plural/singular mismatch: 'a mandatory classes' mixes singular 'a' with plural 'classes.' Remove 'a' or change to 'a mandatory class' depending on meaning. Suggestion: use 'during mandatory classes' if there were multiple lessons.

× So the classes taught us to use the Tangji typing.

✓ The classes taught us to use the Tangji typing method.

Missing article at start of sentence is optional; primary issue is noun phrase clarity. Add 'method' to clarify meaning. Suggestion: specify 'typing method' for natural English.

× So I think it really helped me for the foundation typing and it really helped me now for a more speedy typing.

✓ So I think it really helped me build a strong typing foundation, and it helps me type more quickly now.

Problems: tense inconsistency ('helped' then 'helped me now'), awkward noun phrases 'foundation typing', and 'more speedy typing' is unnatural. Use past tense for the earlier effect 'helped me build' and present tense 'helps me type more quickly now.' Suggestion: use 'type more quickly' or 'increase my typing speed.'

× I improve my typing through a practical way.

✓ I improve my typing through practical methods.

'Through a practical way' is unidiomatic: use plural 'methods' or 'a practical method.' Suggestion: say 'through practical practice' or 'through practical methods.'

× For example, I always practice my typing when I have to do some assignments in university studies life.

✓ For example, I always practice typing when I have to do assignments for university.

Awkward phrase 'in university studies life' and redundancy 'practice my typing' can be simplified to 'practice typing.' Also drop 'some' before 'assignments' for formality. Suggestion: 'assignments for university' is concise.

× I think it can really increase my speed and efficient of typing and also I also use it when.

✓ I think it can really increase my typing speed and efficiency, and I also use it in other situations.

Multiple issues: 'efficient' should be noun 'efficiency', awkward phrasing 'and also I also use it when' is incomplete and repetitive. Provide a complete clause 'I also use it in other situations.' Suggestion: use 'typing speed and efficiency' and avoid repeated 'also.'
