Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more direct and expand with a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific supporting reasons using linking words. Avoid filler phrases like 'Well' and 'I guess'. Also correct minor grammar and be concise (max 5 sentences).

例: I prefer handwriting because I write more carefully and it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand I retain key points longer, so I usually handwrite class notes. However, I use typing when I need to finish long documents quickly.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence stating which you use, then give two concise, specific reasons connected with linking words. Avoid repetition and awkward phrasing like 'nowadays' tacked on. Watch grammar (e.g., pluralization and article use).

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is portable and convenient for making presentations. For instance, I prepare PowerPoint slides and complete course assignments on my laptop, so I can work anywhere. Also, the built-in keyboard and trackpad save me time compared with a desktop setup.

提案: Give a clear time reference and concise supporting details. Use correct tense and avoid redundant phrases like 'the first time that I learned... ever since'. Use linking words to connect ideas and provide a short example. Fix grammar (e.g., 'told' -> 'teach/taught').

例: I learned to type when I was in primary school, around age eight, during computer classes. The teacher taught us basic typing skills and simple exercises, which helped me build a solid foundation. Since then I have practiced occasionally to improve my speed.

提案: Answer directly with specific methods and brief examples. Use linking words to structure the answer and avoid vague phrases like 'I guess' and repeated fragments. Mention concrete practice activities or resources and expected results.

例: I improve my typing by practicing with online typing tutors and daily exercises. For example, I use a typing website for 15 minutes each day to work on accuracy and speed, and I also try to type notes instead of handwriting when possible. As a result, my words-per-minute rate and confidence have increased.

× Well, I definitely prefer handwriting because I'm a slower typer and sometimes I can be very lazy to type.

✓ Well, I definitely prefer handwriting because I'm a slower typist and sometimes I am too lazy to type.

Use 'typist' (noun) instead of 'typer' for a person who types; 'can be very lazy to type' is unnatural - use 'am too lazy to type' for ability/state. Also avoid contraction 'I'm' if formality desired, but not required. Suggestions: replace incorrect noun and use 'too' + adjective + infinitive to express inability or reluctance.

× Well, I definitely type on the laptop keyboard every day just because I need to make some presentations like PPTS and I need to finish my homework from my courses and using a laptop keyboard is more convenient and nowadays.

✓ Well, I definitely type on a laptop keyboard every day because I need to make presentations like PPTs and finish homework from my courses, and using a laptop keyboard is more convenient nowadays.

Use 'a laptop keyboard' (indefinite article) instead of 'the laptop keyboard' when speaking generally. 'PPTS' should be 'PPTs' or 'PowerPoint presentations'. Remove redundant 'just' and repeated 'I need to'. Place 'nowadays' at the end. Also combine clauses with commas and 'and' for clarity. Suggestions: use articles correctly and streamline repeated phrases.

× Well, I remember the first time that I learned how to type on a keyboard ever since I was a kid from my primary school.

✓ Well, I remember learning how to type on a keyboard when I was a kid in primary school.

Mixing 'remember' with 'ever since' and 'the first time that I learned' is awkward. Use 'remember learning' for recollection. 'When I was a kid in primary school' is the correct time phrase. 'Ever since' is not needed and creates tense mismatch. Suggestions: use 'remember' + gerund for past memory and place time expressions correctly.

× At that time we had a few classes like computer classes and the teacher would told us how to type on the laptop.

✓ At that time we had a few classes, such as computer class, and the teacher taught us how to type on the laptop.

'Would told' is incorrect: use simple past 'taught' for a completed action. 'Would' plus base verb indicates habitual past (would teach) but here simple past is appropriate. Also 'computer classes' can be singular 'computer class' or 'computer classes'; use 'such as' for examples. Suggestions: use correct past verb 'taught' and avoid combining 'would' with past 'told'.

× Well, I guess the other way that I improve my typing is like learn to type faster if I need to use my laptop and daily life and this one will this way will be really useful I guess.

✓ Well, I guess another way I improve my typing is by learning to type faster for using my laptop and in daily life; this will be really useful, I guess.

Sentence is repetitive and ungrammatical. Use 'another way' rather than 'the other way', and 'is by learning to type faster' is the correct structure to describe a method. Replace 'if I need to use my laptop and daily life' with 'for using my laptop and in daily life'. Remove duplicated phrases 'this one will this way will'. Suggestions: simplify and reorder into clear clauses: method ('is by...'), purpose ('for...'), and comment ('this will be useful').
