Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Clarify your main point with a clear topic sentence, use correct grammar, and provide one specific reason with a linking phrase. Avoid vague phrasing and pronunciation errors reflected in grammar. For example, say the benefit (memory/learning) and cite a simple explanation or brief example.

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me remember information better. For instance, when I take notes by hand, I process and rephrase ideas, which makes them easier to recall later. Furthermore, some studies show that writing by hand improves learning, so I often handwrite my class notes to study effectively.

提案: Start with a direct topic sentence, correct small grammatical errors, and add one specific detail to support convenience (portability, battery, workspace). Use a linking word like 'because' or 'so'.

例: I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I don't own a desktop. It is more convenient for me since I can work anywhere in the house and take it with me when I travel.

提案: Give a clear past tense topic sentence about when you learned, correct grammar (use past tense consistently), and provide a concise reason or detail about the school curriculum and lack of practice for speed. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'so'.

例: I learned to type when I was quite young because my school included a typing course in the curriculum. However, I never practiced speed typing much since it was not required for exams.

提案: Answer directly with a simple strategy sentence, remove filler words, and give one specific method with an example program or game. Use linking words like 'for example' or 'also' to connect ideas.

例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly and using programs that teach finger placement. For example, I use typing games that show which keys each finger should press, and I practice for 15–20 minutes a day to increase my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting because there were a ton of research just that suggest handwriting is more involving with your brain making.

✓ I prefer handwriting because there is a ton of research that suggests handwriting is more engaging for your brain.

Errors: 'were' should be 'is' because 'a ton of research' is singular (article + mass noun) (Grammar problem type ID 9 and 1/27). 'Research' is a mass noun and takes singular verb; 'suggest' must agree with singular subject so becomes 'suggests'. 'involving with your brain making' is awkward and incorrect: use 'engaging for your brain' to convey the intended meaning. Suggestion: use correct subject-verb agreement and choose the appropriate adjective and preposition ('engaging for').

× When you are price something by your hand is will encode or you can.

✓ When you write something by hand, it will be encoded more effectively.

This sentence has multiple problems: 'price' is wrong word choice (should be 'write'), word order and auxiliary verbs are incorrect ('is will encode or you can' is ungrammatical). Use simple future/passive idea: 'it will be encoded' or active 'your brain encodes it'. Also add a comma after the introductory clause. Suggestion: use correct verb ('write') and a clear clause structure ('it will be encoded more effectively'). (Grammar problem type ID 26).

× I usually type on laptop keyboard because I don't own any, uh, desktop, and I think in this way it would be more convenient than the other ways.

✓ I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I don't own a desktop, and I think this is more convenient than other ways.

Missing article: 'on laptop keyboard' should be 'on a laptop keyboard'. 'I don't own any, uh, desktop' should be 'a desktop' (singular). 'in this way' is wordy; 'this is more convenient than other ways' is clearer. Also avoid comma splicing and filler words. (Grammar problem type ID 22).

× I will say and learn it when I was really young, like there is a curriculum at my school that every children need to learn how to type but I still couldn't do the speed typing because it didn't involve in the exams so.

✓ I learned it when I was really young; there was a curriculum at my school where every child needed to learn how to type, but I still couldn't type quickly because it wasn't part of the exams.

Tense mismatch: 'I will say and learn it when I was' mixes future and past; use past 'I learned'. 'There is a curriculum' when talking past should be 'there was a curriculum'. 'Every children need' should be 'every child needed' (singular agreement). 'do the speed typing' should be 'type quickly' and 'didn't involve in the exams' should be 'wasn't part of the exams'. Fix subject-verb agreement and consistent past tense. (Grammar problem type ID 5).

× I would improve it by uh do it a lot and use some programs that help me recognize which position my finger should presses in and uh learning by some games that the program provided with.

✓ I would improve it by doing it a lot and using programs that help me learn which positions my fingers should press, and by learning through games the program provides.

After 'by' use gerund: 'by doing' not 'by do'. Parallel structure: use 'doing' and 'using'. 'which position my finger should presses in' has wrong verb form and preposition: 'should press' (base form after modal) and 'positions' plural for fingers, no trailing 'in'. 'learning by some games that the program provided with' is ungrammatical; use 'learning through games the program provides'. Maintain parallel gerund phrases. (Grammar problem type ID 8).
