Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and grammatically accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh) and redundancy.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and more convenient for long documents. For example, when writing reports I can edit and store files easily, which saves time and reduces mistakes.

提案: Provide a clear topic sentence and one specific supporting detail. Correct grammar (a HP → an HP, there are → there are) and avoid fillers. Use a linking phrase to connect reason.

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I own an HP laptop that has useful features like autocorrect and shortcut keys. For instance, autocorrect helps me finish assignments faster and reduces typing errors.

提案: Organize the answer chronologically with correct verb tenses and clearer phrasing. Use fewer sentences (max 4) and give one specific detail. Remove unclear word like "fluctuated" and replace with precise expression.

例: I learned to type in fifth grade when my school offered computer classes where we practised keyboarding. Later, when I received my own laptop as a teenager, I practised more and became much faster and more confident.

提案: Give a concise topic sentence then two specific methods with linking words. Use correct collocations (practice typing, software) and avoid filler words. Be specific about the software or routine for stronger content.

例: I improve my typing by practising daily and using typing software that highlights errors and tracks my speed. For example, I use TypingClub for 20 minutes each morning and review mistake reports to focus on weak keys.

× I prefer typing because it's somewhere easy and convenient way and it's good for the long documents as well and it's not a time consuming.

✓ I prefer typing because it's an easy and convenient way, it's good for long documents, and it's not time-consuming.

The sentence misuses adjectives and adverbs and has article errors. 'Somewhere' is incorrect here; use 'an' before 'easy and convenient way'. 'the long documents' should be 'long documents' (no definite article). 'a time consuming' should be hyphenated as 'time-consuming' and used without 'a' after 'not'. Combine clauses with commas and conjunctions for clarity.

× Moreover, it's more efficient to provide any document.

✓ Moreover, it's more efficient for producing documents.

'Provide any document' is awkward and uses pronouns/articles incorrectly. Use 'producing documents' or 'to produce documents' to express the intended meaning. This corrects article/pronoun misuse and improves collocation.

× Typing uh is more important these days.

✓ Typing is more important these days.

Remove filler 'uh'. No verb agreement issue after removal; sentence is fine but make it concise. 'Typing is' correctly uses third-person singular 'is'.

× Uh, every day I type on the laptop keyboard because I have a HP laptop and umm, there is so many features to type the word easily and it corrects along with the typing so that's why I'm using this keyboard.

✓ Every day I type on my HP laptop because it has many features that make typing easier and it corrects mistakes as I type, so that's why I use this keyboard.

Problems: article before 'HP' should be 'an' or better 'my HP laptop' to show possession. 'There is so many features' is incorrect subject-verb agreement and word choice; use 'it has many features'. 'to type the word easily' better as 'make typing easier'. 'it corrects along with the typing' should be 'it corrects mistakes as I type'. Use consistent present simple tense 'I use' not 'I'm using' for habitual actions.

× When I was in fifth standard, my school was providing the facilities to type on the computer.

✓ When I was in fifth grade, my school provided facilities for typing on computers.

'Fifth standard' is nonstandard in some dialects; 'fifth grade' is common. Use simple past 'provided' for a completed past action rather than past continuous 'was providing'. Preposition: 'facilities for typing on computers' is more natural.

× So that's why I learned that skill from there.

✓ That's why I learned that skill there.

Redundant 'from there'; use 'there' or 'from there' but 'learned that skill there' is concise. Tense is simple past, appropriate.

× And when I get older, I got my own laptop and I start typing over there.

✓ When I got older, I got my own laptop and I started typing on it.

'When I get older' mixes present with past; use past 'When I got older'. 'start' should be past 'started'. 'over there' is vague; use 'on it' or 'on my laptop'.

× So from that time I'm really, uh, fluctuated.

✓ So from that time I have improved a lot in my typing.

'Fluctuated' is incorrect here and sentence structure is wrong. 'Fluctuated' means varied, not improved. Use 'I have improved a lot in my typing' to express progress since that time. Present perfect 'have improved' connects past to present.

× I do typing, uh, frequently.

✓ I practise typing frequently.

'Do typing' is unnatural. Use 'practise typing' or 'type frequently'. Use correct verb collocation and remove filler 'uh'.

× Like I make my plan to do the typing on daily basis.

✓ I make a plan to practise typing on a daily basis.

'Make my plan' should be 'make a plan'. 'do the typing' awkward; use 'practise typing'. 'on daily basis' needs the article: 'on a daily basis'.

× For the more practice, I use some softwares that give me an error at the same time, whatever I'm writing, umm, incorrectly.

✓ For more practice, I use some software that highlights my mistakes as I type.

'Softwares' is uncountable: 'software' not 'softwares'. 'give me an error at the same time, whatever I'm writing incorrectly' is awkward. Use 'that highlights my mistakes as I type' which is natural and grammatically correct.

× And apart from this, uh, I use uh, my daily routine to make myself perfect.

✓ Besides that, I use my daily routine to improve my typing skills.

'Apart from this' is acceptable but 'make myself perfect' is unnatural English and pronoun use is odd. Use 'improve my typing skills' to express intended meaning. Remove fillers.
