Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is relevant and clear but slightly wordy and repetitive. Begin with a concise topic sentence, avoid redundancy (e.g., saying 'convenient and comfortable' then repeating difficulty of changes), and add one specific example or brief reason using a linking word (e.g., 'because' or 'for example'). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and easier to edit. For example, when I write essays on my laptop I can quickly correct mistakes and rearrange sentences. This saves time and reduces stress when I need to submit work on tight deadlines.

提案: Good clear response but includes fillers ('umm') and some redundancy ('apart from that' + repeated reasons). Start with a direct topic sentence, use one linking word to give a reason, and provide a concise specific detail (e.g., what tasks you do on the laptop). Avoid filler words to sound more fluent.

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I work and study from anywhere. For instance, I draft emails and edit documents on my laptop while commuting or in cafes, which wouldn't be practical with a desktop.

提案: The answer answers the question but is long-winded and contains awkward phrasing ('first introduced to keyboards', 'from there only I came to know'). Use a clear past-time topic sentence, follow with a concise supporting detail using a linking word like 'because' or 'so', and avoid repeating the same idea.

例: I learned to type during my college years when I started writing long emails and coursework. Because of those assignments, I practised regularly and became comfortable with touch-typing over time.

提案: The answer is appropriate but vague and contains filler. Give a specific method or routine and a linking word to show result (e.g., 'so' or 'therefore'). Mention a concrete practice technique or a measurable outcome to make it stronger.

例: I improve my typing by practising for 20 minutes each day using online typing lessons and real tasks like emails and assignments. As a result, my accuracy and speed have increased, so I can finish reports more quickly.

× Well, I prefer typing to handwriting because it is more convenient and comfortable, whereas writing requires more time and accuracy.

✓ Well, I prefer typing to handwriting because typing is more convenient and comfortable, whereas handwriting requires more time and accuracy.

The original sentence mixes pronouns ('it' and 'writing') that create ambiguity about what 'it' refers to. Replacing 'it' with 'typing' and using 'handwriting' consistently clarifies the comparison and maintains parallel structure. Suggestion: Keep parallel nouns when comparing two activities (typing vs handwriting) rather than switching between pronouns and gerunds.

× Apart from that, I cannot undo what I have written or if I have to make any changes, it's very difficult.

✓ Apart from that, I cannot undo what I have written, so if I have to make any changes, it's very difficult.

The original uses 'or' incorrectly to link two related ideas, causing a logical/connective problem rather than a pure grammatical tense issue. Replacing 'or' with a conjunction like 'so' or splitting into two clauses clarifies the cause-and-effect relationship. Suggestion: Use appropriate conjunctions to show relationships between clauses; here 'so' expresses the result of not being able to undo writing.

× Well, I do type on my laptop keyboard on a daily basis as it's even more convenient and umm, I find it quite efficient as well.

✓ Well, I type on my laptop keyboard on a daily basis because it's more convenient, and I find it quite efficient as well.

Using 'do type' is unnecessary for a simple present affirmative sentence and sounds like emphasis that's not needed. Removing the auxiliary makes the sentence natural. Also replacing 'as' with 'because' improves clarity. Suggestion: Use simple present without auxiliary for habitual actions unless adding emphasis; avoid filler words like 'umm' in formal speech.

× Apart from that, typing on a desktop is quite redundant these days because I don't even have a desktop or I find it more uncomfortable.

✓ Apart from that, typing on a desktop is quite redundant these days because I don't have a desktop and I find it less comfortable.

The phrase 'I don't even have a desktop or I find it more uncomfortable' is ungrammatical because 'or' incorrectly connects two reasons and 'more uncomfortable' lacks a clear comparison target. Using 'and' to link two separate reasons and 'less comfortable' provides a clearer, grammatical statement. Suggestion: When giving multiple reasons, join them with 'and' or separate into two sentences; use comparative forms with a clear reference.

× Well, it was during my college days when I first introduced to keyboards and I had to type long emails and assessments and however from there only I came to know about the keyboard and since then I have been using it.

✓ Well, it was during my college days when I was first introduced to keyboards; I had to type long emails and assessments, and that's when I first learned about keyboards. Since then I have been using them.

The original misuses 'introduced' without the passive construction 'was introduced' and mixes tenses and awkward phrasing like 'from there only I came to know.' The corrected version uses passive 'was first introduced,' changes 'came to know' to 'first learned about,' and matches plural 'keyboards' with 'them.' Suggestion: Use passive ('was introduced') when the subject receives an action; keep consistent tense and natural idioms like 'that's when I first learned'.

× Well, I do lots of practice and type a lot, whether it's emails or assignments on my own which umm helps me to improve myself and allows me to work efficiently.

✓ Well, I do a lot of practice and type a lot, whether it's emails or assignments on my own, which helps me improve and allows me to work efficiently.

'Lots of practice' should be 'a lot of practice' for correct collocation. 'Helps me to improve myself' is wordy; 'helps me improve' is more natural. Also remove filler 'umm' and add a comma before the relative clause for clarity. Suggestion: Use natural collocations ('a lot of practice'), avoid unnecessary reflexive 'myself' when not needed, and place commas before non-restrictive relative clauses.
