Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers and repetition, and add one specific reason or example. Use linking words if you add details (e.g., because, for example).

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me think more clearly and feels more personal. For example, I like using a smooth fountain pen and a notebook when brainstorming ideas because writing by hand slows me down and improves my focus.

提案: Make the response grammatically correct and clearer: give a direct topic sentence, then one or two specific tasks as supporting details using linking words. Avoid hesitations and redundancy.

例: Yes, I type on a laptop every day because I manage a project that requires frequent documentation. For example, I draft project plans, update spreadsheets and send progress emails to stakeholders.

提案: Provide a clear, direct answer with a concise time reference and one brief supporting detail. Remove unclear phrases and fillers, and use linking words like "when" or "during" to structure the response.

例: I learned to type when I was in primary school. We had weekly computer lessons where the teacher showed us keyboard fingering and basic typing practice.

提案: Be specific about methods and results: give a clear topic sentence, then one or two concrete techniques and mention any improvements. Avoid vague words and fillers.

例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly with online typing programs to increase speed and accuracy. For instance, I use timed exercises and accuracy drills every day, and over a few months my words-per-minute rate has increased noticeably.

× I prefer handwriting because handwriting makes me very comfortable and very convenient. Umm. And I I also enjoy using the paper and really good pen.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it makes me feel comfortable and is very convenient. I also enjoy using paper and a really good pen.

The sentence repeats 'handwriting' unnecessarily; replace with pronoun 'it' for clarity (Incorrect use of pronouns). 'Using the paper' should be 'using paper' (no article) and 'really good pen' needs the indefinite article 'a'. Also remove repeated filler 'I I'. Suggestion: replace repeated nouns with pronouns and include appropriate articles.

× Umm yes, I type and a laptop every day because I manage a project and and need to prepare lots of materials, documentaries, uh for example I write e-mail updates, spreadsheet and draft project plan.

✓ Yes, I type on a laptop every day because I manage a project and need to prepare lots of materials and documents. For example, I write email updates, spreadsheets, and draft project plans.

The sentence contains structural problems: 'type and a laptop' should be 'type on a laptop' (preposition use and sentence structure). Duplicate 'and and' is an error. 'Documentaries' is the wrong word for project documents; use 'documents'. Parallel items need plural forms: 'spreadsheets' and 'draft project plans'. Also add commas for clarity.

× I don't remember, do you act if I sat here, but I run, uh, to talk type. When I was at primary school around the town, uh, I had umm, weekly computer lessons where the teacher taught me how.

✓ I don't remember exactly, but I learned to type when I was in primary school. I had weekly computer lessons where the teacher taught me how to type.

The original mixes tenses and contains unclear phrases ('do you act if I sat here', 'I run, uh, to talk type'). The correct past tense is 'learned' for acquiring the skill, and 'when I was in primary school' matches past tense. 'Taught me how to type' completes the idea. Suggest removing unclear fillers and using simple past for past events.

× This I practice regularly using focus on focus, uh uh, on the exercise to improve my typing speed and accuracy.

✓ I practice regularly, focusing on exercises to improve my typing speed and accuracy.

The original has incorrect word order and repetition. Use the -ing form 'focusing' after 'practice' to indicate the method. 'On the exercise' should be plural 'exercises' and remove redundant words. Suggest: 'I practice regularly, focusing on exercises...'.

× For example, I use online typing programs, umm, that offer thrills for using typing.

✓ For example, I use online typing programs that offer drills for practicing typing.

'Thrills' is the wrong word; the intended word is 'drills' (practice exercises). Also 'for using typing' is ungrammatical; use 'for practicing typing'. This is an incorrect choice of words (adjective/adverb and noun confusion). Suggest using 'drills' and 'practicing typing'.
