Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Verbessern Sie Klarheit und Grammatik, vermeiden Sie Verwirrung zwischen Ideen. Strukturieren Sie die Antwort mit einem klaren Thema, einem Grund und einem kurzen Beispiel. Achten Sie auf Wortstellung (z. B. „my spelling isn't very good“) und verwenden Sie nicht widersprüchliche Ausdrücke (z. B. "I prefer voice messages" statt "voice messages handwriting"). Halten Sie sich an maximal fünf Sätze und nutzen Sie ein verbindendes Wort, um Gründe zu erklären.

例: I prefer sending voice messages rather than handwriting. The main reason is that my spelling isn't very good, so speaking is faster and clearer for me. My family and friends are used to this, so it works well for everyday communication. For example, I often send voice notes when coordinating plans because it's quicker than typing.

提案: Verbessern Sie Satzbau und flüssige Verknüpfungen. Vermeiden Sie Füllwörter und korrigieren Sie kleine Grammatikfehler (z. B. "fast typist" oder "fast at typing", und "I don't need to look at the keys"). Nutzen Sie ein klares Topic Sentence, dann geben Sie Gründe und ein Beispiel, und verwenden Sie ein Verbindungswort wie "because" oder "so".

例: Yes, I use my laptop keyboard every day. As a teacher, I need to write a lot of feedback, so my laptop is essential. I'm a fast typist and rarely look at the keys, which saves me time. For instance, I can finish marking a class set of essays much faster because of my speed.

提案: Verbessern Sie Wortwahl und Ausdrucksweise. Verwenden Sie „touch typing“ statt „blind typing" und vermeiden Sie unnötige Wiederholungen. Strukturieren Sie mit einem klaren Einstieg, einer Zeitangabe, einem Grund oder Kommentar und einem abschließenden kurzen Eindruck.

例: I learned touch typing when I was about 10 or 12 years old. My parents enrolled me in a typing course where I practiced typing without looking at the keys. I didn't enjoy it at the time, but I'm really grateful now because it makes my work much easier.

提案: Korrigieren Sie unklare Phrasen und Wiederholungen, z. B. "the way home proof" ist unverständlich. Drücken Sie die Idee klar aus: Übung macht den Meister. Geben Sie ein konkretes Beispiel, wie Sie üben (z. B. bestimmte Übungen, Online-Tools oder tägliche Aufgaben) und verwenden Sie Verbindungswörter wie "because" oder "so".

例: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice. Because I use the keyboard every day for work, I naturally become faster and more accurate. I also use short online exercises and set timed tests occasionally to track my progress, which helps me save time when grading papers.

× Honestly, I prefer voice messages handwriting.

✓ Honestly, I prefer voice messages to handwriting.

The student omitted the preposition 'to' when comparing two preferences. Use 'prefer A to B' or 'prefer A over B'. Replace 'handwriting' with 'handwriting' as a noun, and insert 'to' to make the comparison grammatical and clear.

× I'm not fond of it.

✓ I'm not fond of handwriting.

The pronoun 'it' is vague because the previous sentence mentions two things; making the noun explicit ('handwriting') removes ambiguity and improves clarity.

× The reason is because my spelling it's not very accurate.

✓ The reason is that my spelling is not very accurate.

Two issues: 'because' after 'The reason is' is redundant; use 'that' instead. Also the contraction 'my spelling it's' incorrectly combines possessive and subject; use 'my spelling is' for correct subject-verb structure.

× My family and friends get already used to it, but that's probably why I prefer to send voice messages.

✓ My family and friends have already gotten used to it, and that's probably why I prefer to send voice messages.

Use present perfect 'have gotten used to' (or 'have got used to') for a state that began in the past and continues. Place 'already' before the past participle. Use 'and' instead of 'but' to better connect the clauses logically.

× Oh yeah, definitely. I use my laptop keyboard every day.

✓ Oh yeah, definitely. I use my laptop keyboard every day.

Sentence is already correct in present simple to describe a habitual action; no change needed.

× Since I'm a teacher and I have to write a lot of feedback, the work with my laptop is essential.

✓ Since I'm a teacher and I have to write a lot of feedback, working with my laptop is essential.

The phrase 'the work with my laptop' is awkward. Use the gerund 'working with my laptop' to express the activity. This creates a natural noun phrase that fits the clause.

× I'm also very fluent and fast typer.

✓ I'm also a very fluent and fast typist.

'Typer' is informal and uncommon; the correct noun is 'typist'. Also a determiner 'a' is needed before the noun. Alternatively use 'I type very fluently and quickly' to use adverbs.

× I don't need to check for the letters so which makes it really convenient and practical.

✓ I don't need to look at the keys, which makes it really convenient and practical.

The phrase 'check for the letters' is unnatural; native speakers say 'look at the keys' or 'look at the letters'. Also 'so which makes' is ungrammatical; use a comma plus 'which' to introduce the relative clause referring to the previous statement.

× I learned the blind typing when I was young.

✓ I learned touch typing when I was young.

The term 'blind typing' is a literal calque; the correct term is 'touch typing'. No change to verb tense is needed, but word choice should be corrected for natural English.

× I don't remember the exact age, but I guess it was about 10 or 12 years old.

✓ I don't remember the exact age, but I guess I was about 10 or 12 years old.

The clause 'it was about 10 or 12 years old' wrongly uses 'it' and 'years old' for a person. Use 'I was about 10 or 12 years old' to refer to the speaker's age.

× My parents signed me up for a typing machine course where I learned how to write without checking the letters.

✓ My parents signed me up for a typing course where I learned how to type without looking at the keys.

'Typing machine course' is awkward; 'typing course' is natural. Also 'write without checking the letters' should be 'type without looking at the keys' for idiomatic expression.

× I'm really thankful for that, even though at that time I didn't like it.

✓ I'm really thankful for that, even though at the time I didn't like it.

'At that time' is acceptable but 'at the time' is more idiomatic here. Otherwise sentence is fine.

× I think the way home proof is like learning by doing it.

✓ I think the best way to improve is learning by doing.

The original sentence contains unclear phrase 'way home proof'. Rewrite to 'the best way to improve' and use 'learning by doing' without the extra pronoun 'it' for natural style.

× I think the more practice you have, the more fluent and faster you will get.

✓ I think the more practice you have, the more fluent and faster you will become.

Use 'become' rather than 'get' to sound more formal and natural; however 'get' is acceptable colloquially. Also word order 'more fluent and faster' is awkward; better 'more fluent and faster' -> ideally 'more fluent and faster' acceptable but 'more fluent and faster' keep but improved to 'more fluent and faster you will become'.

× So and since I'm using it every day, it's just more convenient that I can do it fast.

✓ Since I use it every day, it's just more convenient because I can do it quickly.

Remove disfluent 'So and' and use 'since' with simple present 'I use'. Use 'because' to show reason and change 'fast' to adverb 'quickly' when modifying a verb.

× It saves me a lot of time.

✓ It saves me a lot of time.

This sentence is grammatically correct and needs no change.
