Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar and accuracy (subject-verb agreement and articles), avoid redundancy, and add a clearer topic sentence with one supporting detail. Use linking words like "because" or "so" naturally and keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is more convenient and helps me work faster. For example, I can edit text quickly and save documents online, so I can access and revise my work from anywhere.

提案: Fix pronunciation/word choice errors ("tape" → "type") and grammar (verb forms and articles). Make sentences concise and use linking words like "because" and "for example" correctly. Avoid redundant phrases such as "get a lot of practice use each keyboard."

例: Yes, I type on my laptop every day because I do most of my work and study on it. For example, I check and reply to emails, write reports and do online research, so I practise typing daily.

提案: Correct tense consistency and sentence completion. Use past tense throughout when describing a past event, and avoid unfinished sentences. Add one specific detail about how the training helped and close with a result sentence.

例: I learned to type at about 12 during a school computer class where we practised touch typing with special software. That training helped me increase my speed and accuracy, which made homework and later university assessments much easier.

提案: Clarify vocabulary and correct collocations (e.g. "use touch-typing lessons" not "license"), grammar, and word order. Provide clear, specific practices with linking words and avoid invented phrases. Keep answer to 2–3 concise sentences.

例: I improve my typing by practising regularly with touch-typing lessons and online speed tests to build accuracy. For example, I do short drills focusing on my weakest keys and use proper finger placement to reduce errors.

× I prefer typing to handwriting because it's much more convenient and help me work faster.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because it's much more convenient and helps me work faster.

The subject 'it' (referring to typing) is third person singular, so the verb must take the -s ending in present simple. Change 'help' to 'helps'. Suggestion: For present simple with he/she/it, add -s (e.g., 'it helps').

× For example, when I type, I can edit quickly and save document online, which makes me more efficient.

✓ For example, when I type, I can edit quickly and save documents online, which makes me more efficient.

'Document' here refers to documents in general (countable plural). Either use the plural 'documents' or add an article ('a document'). Using plural fits the general statement. Also 'online' is fine after the noun. Suggestion: Use plural for general actions (save documents online).

× Yes, I tape on my laptop keyboard every day because I do most of my work and study on that device.

✓ Yes, I type on my laptop keyboard every day because I do most of my work and study on that device.

The main error is a typo 'tape' instead of 'type'. While not a grammar category, it affects meaning. 'Type' is the correct verb for the activity. Suggestion: Proofread for typos that change verbs (tape → type).

× For example, I often check and reply to emails, write reports and do online research on the laptop, so I get a lot of practice use each keyboard.

✓ For example, I often check and reply to emails, write reports and do online research on the laptop, so I get a lot of practice using the keyboard.

Multiple issues: 'practice use each keyboard' is ungrammatical. The intended structure is 'practice using the keyboard' (gerund after 'practice'). Also 'the laptop' and 'the keyboard' are definite; use 'the keyboard' to refer to that device's keyboard. This matches verb+ -ing rule (Grammar type 8) and article use. Suggestion: After 'practice' use a gerund (using), and use 'the keyboard' for the specific device.

× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 12 years old during a computer class at school where we practice touch typing with typing software.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 12 years old during a computer class at school where we practiced touch typing with typing software.

The main clause is in past tense ('learned'), so the subordinate clause should also be in past tense: change 'practice' to 'practiced'. Suggestion: Maintain consistent past tense in related clauses (learned ... where we practiced).

× Learning then help me type much faster for homework and later for university assessments and I still.

✓ Learning then helped me type much faster for homework and later for university assessments, and it still helps me now.

This sentence has tense inconsistency and incomplete structure. 'Learning then' refers to a past action so use 'helped'; to express continuing benefit use present 'helps' for current result and add a subject ('it') and time expression ('now'). Suggestion: Split into two clauses with consistent tenses and include the subject for the second clause.

× I practice regularly use touch typing license and online typing test to build speed and accuracy.

✓ I practice regularly by using touch-typing lessons and online typing tests to build speed and accuracy.

After 'practice', use a gerund/phrase (by using) or 'practice using'. Also 'license' is incorrect word; likely 'lessons'. Plural 'tests' fits. Hyphenate 'touch-typing' as a compound adjective or noun. Suggestion: Use 'practice by using' or 'practice using' + correct nouns (lessons, tests).

× For example, I do short dialing drill to focus on weak case.

✓ For example, I do short drilling drills to focus on weak areas.

Multiple errors: 'dialing drill' is incorrect for typing context; 'drilling drills' or simply 'short drills' or 'short typing drills' is better. After 'do' you can use noun phrase 'short typing drills'. 'Weak case' should be 'weak areas'. Suggestion: Use accurate vocabulary for practice: 'short typing drills' or 'short drills to focus on weak areas'.

× I also ensure proper pressure and useful finger systemically when which reduce errors and fix.

✓ I also ensure proper pressure and use fingers systematically, which reduces errors and helps fix them.

This sentence has several grammar issues: use of 'useful finger' is wrong — should be 'use fingers systematically'; 'systemically' is wrong word (means medically systemic) — use 'systematically'; relative clause needs subject and verb agreement: 'which reduces errors and helps fix them.' Use singular 'reduces' to agree with 'which' referring to the preceding practice. Suggestion: Use correct adverb 'systematically', plural 'fingers', and complete relative clause with verbs that agree and an object ('fix them').
