Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting reasons with a linking word. Watch verb tense and phrasing (e.g., “I’m used to preparing” not “I used to prepare”).

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s much faster and more convenient. For example, I type notes and documents daily, which saves a lot of time and makes editing easier.

提案: Provide a clear topic sentence and improve grammar and word choice. Use linking words to combine reasons and add a brief specific example of where you carry it. Avoid redundancy (don’t repeat ‘laptop’).

例: I usually type on a laptop because it’s portable and convenient. For instance, I take it to the library and cafés, and I also find it comfortable to use at home.

提案: Remove filler words and correct grammar. Give a clear time reference and one concise reason or context. Use past simple correctly (e.g., “I learned” not “I used to learn”) and avoid unclear phrases like ‘part of our label.’

例: I learned to type during senior secondary school. At that time, typing assignments and reports was part of the coursework, so I started practicing regularly.

提案: Be more concise and correct word choice: use ‘improve’ and ‘practice’ instead of ‘reputation.’ Start with a topic sentence, then give a specific method or tool (e.g., lessons, online exercises) and a brief result.

例: I improved my typing by practicing every day and using online typing exercises. As a result, my speed and accuracy improved noticeably over a few months.

× Well, I prefer typing because it is much faster and more convenient as I used to prepare documents and notes every day.

✓ Well, I prefer typing because it is much faster and more convenient since I prepare documents and notes every day.

The original uses 'used to' which indicates a past habitual action; the context describes a current habitual activity so present simple 'prepare' is correct. Also 'as' is better replaced with 'since' for causal meaning. Suggestion: use present simple for current routines and use 'since' or 'because' for reasons.

× Well I use a laptop for typing because laptop is portable and I carry it to different places and also I use it very comfortable at home.

✓ Well, I use a laptop for typing because a laptop is portable and I carry it to different places, and I find it very comfortable at home.

The noun 'laptop' needs an article ('a laptop') when singular and countable. 'Use it very comfortable' is incorrect because 'comfortable' is an adjective; after 'find' or with 'feel' is required: 'find it very comfortable' or 'it is very comfortable'. Suggestion: add the article and use 'find it comfortable' or 'it is comfortable'.

× As far as I can recall, I uh, used to learn typing on keyboard when I was in senior secondary, uh, education.

✓ As far as I can recall, I used to learn typing on the keyboard when I was in senior secondary school.

'Used to' correctly indicates a past habit, but 'on keyboard' needs the definite article 'the keyboard'. 'Senior secondary' should be 'senior secondary school' for clarity. Also remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: include 'the' with specific instruments and use full noun phrases for clarity.

× At that time, I used to submitted, uh, uh, documents and notes as it was a part of our label.

✓ At that time, I used to submit documents and notes as it was a part of our lab work.

Mixing 'used to' with past participle 'submitted' is incorrect; after 'used to' the base form 'submit' must be used. 'Label' appears to be a wrong word choice; likely 'lab' or 'laboratory work' or 'lab work' is intended. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: use 'used to' + base verb and choose the correct noun ('lab work').

× So that was the time when I started learning typing.

✓ So that was the time when I started learning to type.

'Learning typing' is non-idiomatic in English; the correct form is 'learning to type' or 'learning typing' can be 'learning typing' rarely used. Use the infinitive 'to type' after 'learning' to indicate the skill acquired. Suggestion: say 'learned to type' or 'started learning to type'.

× Well, I used to type every day and this helped me a lot improve my typing speed naturally and with consistent practice and reputation it made a noticeable difference.

✓ Well, I typed every day and this helped me improve my typing speed; with consistent practice and repetition, it made a noticeable difference.

The original mixes 'used to' with past simple inconsistently; if the habit is past, 'used to type' is acceptable but then follow with correct structure. 'Helped me a lot improve' is missing 'to' before the verb or should be 'helped me improve'. 'Reputation' is the wrong word; 'repetition' is intended. Suggestion: use 'helped me improve' or 'helped me to improve' and correct word choice to 'repetition', ensure consistent past tense if describing past practice.
