Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Ваш ответ в целом хороший: он прямой, логичный и включает пример, однако можно улучшить естественность и краткость. Избегайте многословия (например, «memory retention» и «recall information better later» дублируют мысль). Также можно добавить чуть больше конкретики (когда/в каких ситуациях вы предпочитаете рукопись) и плавные связки.

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me focus and remember information more effectively. For instance, when I take lecture notes by hand, I can picture diagrams and recall key points more easily than if I type them.

提案: Ответ содержит ошибки лексические и грамматические, а также нечеткие фразы. Фраза «I tell it on the skateboards» бессмысленна — вероятно, ошибка произношения/подбора слов. Также нарушена грамматика в «spend the several hours» и «lately haven't been very focused». Следует исправить целевые слова, упростить структуру и добавить связку времени.

例: I use a desktop computer for work, so I type on it every day. I usually spend several hours typing reports and emails, but recently I haven't been very focused when I work.

提案: Ответ понятен, но содержит неудачную фразу «got to see to increase» — она непонятна и снижает естественность. Лучше использовать простые глаголы и добавить связку времени/следствия. Можно также уточнить метод обучения (практика, упражнения) для конкретики.

例: I learned to type during my first year at university when I took a computer skills course. Because I had to type a lot of essays, I practised regularly and gradually increased my speed and accuracy.

提案: Ответ в целом хороший, но смешивает настоящее положение и гипотетическое будущее неестественно. Лучше сказать явно, что вы уже делаете, и затем добавить планы на будущее. Также используйте правильное будущее (would vs will) в условных предложениях.

例: I'm fairly happy with my typing now because I practise regularly. To improve further, I would take an online course and do daily typing tests and games at home to build speed and accuracy.

× I use the desktop computer for work, so I tell it on the skateboards every day.

✓ I use the desktop computer for work, so I sit at it every day.

The original sentence uses the wrong verb and prepositional phrase: 'tell it on the skateboards' is incorrect and nonsensical in context. The correct phrase is 'sit at it' to indicate using a desktop computer. Use of 'at' after 'sit' is the proper preposition to show location relative to the computer. Replace incorrect verbs and objects with appropriate ones for clarity and grammatical correctness.

× I usually spend the several hours typing reports and emails, although lately haven't been very focused.

✓ I usually spend several hours typing reports and emails, although I haven't been very focused lately.

The phrase 'the several hours' wrongly uses the definite article 'the' with 'several'; 'several' does not need 'the'. Also the clause 'although haven't been very focused' is missing the subject 'I' and adverb placement is improved by moving 'lately' to the end. Ensure subject is present and articles are used correctly.

× I usually spend the several hours typing reports and emails, although lately haven't been very focused.

✓ I usually spend several hours typing reports and emails, although I haven't been very focused lately.

The progressive form 'typing' is fine, but the sentence lacks the subject 'I' before 'haven't been' which is required. Also adverb placement (lately) should follow the clause. Ensure present perfect continuous or present perfect is used with proper subject and adverb position.

× I learned to type at the university when I took a computer skills course. I was in my first year and needed to type many essays, so I got to see to increase my typing skill and speed.

✓ I learned to type at university when I took a computer skills course. I was in my first year and needed to type many essays, so I was able to improve my typing skill and speed.

The phrase 'got to see to increase' is ungrammatical and mixes incorrect verbs. Use past tense modal 'was able to' or 'managed to' to indicate ability in the past. Also 'at the university' can be simplified to 'at university' or left as is; main correction fixes verb choice and structure.

× I was in my first year and needed to type many essays, so I got to see to increase my typing skill and speed.

✓ I was in my first year and needed to type many essays, so I was able to improve my typing skill and speed.

The original uses an incorrect verb phrase 'got to see to increase'; replace with 'was able to improve' which correctly conveys gradual improvement. Use appropriate verb phrases when describing developing abilities.

× However, if I wanted to improve them further, I will take an online course and practice a lot at home using typing tests and games.

✓ However, if I wanted to improve them further, I would take an online course and practice a lot at home using typing tests and games.

This is a second conditional sentence expressing a hypothetical situation; the correct structure is 'if + past tense, would + base verb'. Using 'will' in the result clause is incorrect when the condition is unreal or hypothetical. Use 'would' to match the conditional form.
