Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition and fix verb forms (e.g., “prefer handwriting” not “write handwriting”).

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me think and organize ideas more clearly. For example, when I take notes by hand I remember points better and can sketch diagrams, so I usually choose a pen and paper over typing.

提案: Give a direct topic sentence saying how often and which device, then add a specific context with linking words (e.g., “because” or “so”). Correct plural and article errors ("the keyboard", "documents").

例: I don't type every day; I mostly write by hand. I only use a keyboard at work or school when I need to prepare official documents, so my typing is limited to those situations.

提案: Provide a clear past-time statement and one concise reason. Use correct tense and avoid trailing off. Add a specific detail (e.g., grade or age) and a linking word like “because”.

例: I learned to type in junior high school during a computer science class when I was about 13. It wasn't enjoyable at first because I often had to look for the keys, which made my typing slow and frustrating.

提案: Start with a clear present-tense topic sentence describing your method, then give specific examples and results with linking words like “for example” and “so”. Avoid repetition and refine vocabulary ("techniques" not "typing skills").

例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly and using online typing lessons I find on social media. For example, I follow short drills and typing exercises every day, and as a result my speed and accuracy have improved.

× I actually prefer writing with my hands because it's a better way for me to think and organize my thoughts in written form.

✓ I actually prefer writing by hand because it's a better way for me to think and organize my thoughts in written form.

Use of 'writing with my hands' is awkward; the common collocation is 'writing by hand'. This is a lexical/phrasing issue related to the -ing form phrase; change improves naturalness and clarity.

× That's why I prefer write handwriting compared to typing.

✓ That's why I prefer handwriting to typing.

Incorrect verb form 'prefer write handwriting' and awkward construction 'handwriting compared to typing'. Use the correct structure 'prefer X to Y' and the noun 'handwriting'. 'Prefer' is followed by a noun or gerund; here 'handwriting' (noun) is appropriate.

× Typing I kind of like not so familiar.

✓ I'm not very familiar with typing.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and missing linking verb. Use a subject + verb + complement: 'I'm not very familiar with typing.' This corrects sentence structure and expresses the intended meaning.

× I'm not so familiar with the keyboard and most times I tend.

✓ I'm not very familiar with the keyboard, and most of the time I avoid using it.

The sentence ends abruptly with 'I tend.' which is incomplete. Provide a clear verb phrase such as 'avoid using it' to complete the thought. Also change 'most times' to 'most of the time' for natural phrasing.

× I do use keyboard, but not as often as handwriting.

✓ I do use the keyboard, but not as often as handwriting.

Missing definite article before 'keyboard'. Use 'the keyboard' when referring to a specific device type in general. This fixes article usage.

× I barely use it. I only use them mostly in official places where I have to make documentations in the computer using the keyboard so.

✓ I barely use it. I only use it mostly in official places where I have to create documents on the computer using the keyboard.

Pronoun inconsistency: 'it' (singular) changed to 'them' (plural) incorrectly. Keep 'it' to refer to 'the keyboard'. 'Make documentations' is non-idiomatic; use 'create documents'. Use 'on the computer' rather than 'in the computer'.

× I only use them mostly in official places where I have to make documentations in the computer using the keyboard so.

✓ I only use it mostly in official places where I have to create documents on the computer using the keyboard.

Incorrect preposition 'in the computer' should be 'on the computer'. Also simplify redundant words like 'so' at the end. This improves preposition use and overall clarity.

× I actually learned how to use the keyboard in computer science class back then in junior high school and it wasn't really much fun for me because I find it difficult most times I I tend to look for the keys and I get.

✓ I actually learned to use the keyboard in computer science class back in junior high school, and it wasn't really fun for me because I found it difficult; I often had to look for the keys.

Tense inconsistency: mix of past ('learned') with present 'I find'. Use past tense 'found' to match the past timeframe. Remove repetition 'I I' and unfinished clause 'and I get.' Replace with 'I often had to look for the keys' to complete the idea and maintain past tense.

× Currently one of the ways I try to improve my writing is by typing frequently trying every typing skills I do come across cause most times I get to see typing skills on social media and I just try to practice it and it's been helpful.

✓ Currently, one way I try to improve my typing is by typing frequently and trying every typing tip I come across because I often see typing tips on social media, and I practice them; it has been helpful.

Several issues: 'improve my writing' should be 'improve my typing' to match context; 'trying every typing skills' uses wrong form—use 'tip' or 'technique' and match pluralization: 'tips' and 'practice them'. Replace informal 'cause' with 'because' and correct tense 'it's been helpful' to 'it has been helpful' for formality. Use gerund phrases properly and ensure subject-verb agreement.

× It's it has increased my speed.

✓ It has increased my speed.

Redundant 'It's it' is an error; remove the extra 'It's'. Use 'It has increased my speed' as a correct present perfect sentence showing recent improvement.
