Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural and concise, start with a direct topic sentence then add one specific reason with linking word. Avoid redundancy like 'very' twice and correct minor grammar.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s faster and more convenient. For example, I can edit my text quickly and save documents digitally, which makes organizing my work much easier.

提案: Begin with a clear topic sentence and improve accuracy and fluency by linking reason with a suitable connector. Use articles correctly (a/an/the) and avoid filler words like 'actually'.

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don’t own a desktop. As a result, I can work from different locations, such as the library or cafés.

提案: Correct grammar and make the timeline clearer. Use a topic sentence with a time expression, then link to purpose. Use correct verb forms and articles.

例: I learned to type on a keyboard right after I finished my HSC exams because I wanted to prepare for the IELTS. At that time I practiced regularly to gain speed and accuracy.

提案: Be specific about practice methods, remove filler words, fix grammar, and keep within 2–3 sentences. Use linking words to join ideas and provide concrete details (how often, what exercises, measurable goals).

例: I improve my typing by practicing every day with online typing tests and transcription exercises. For instance, I do 20 minutes of touch-typing drills and aim to type over 1,000 words weekly to increase both speed and accuracy.

× Actually I type on laptop keyboard every day because I don't have any desktop.

✓ Actually I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't have a desktop.

Use of articles: 'laptop keyboard' and 'desktop' need articles. Countable singular nouns generally require an article ('a' or 'the'). Here 'a laptop keyboard' and 'a desktop' are correct because they refer to one nonspecific item. Suggestion: add 'a' before 'laptop keyboard' and 'desktop' when referring to one nonspecific item.

× I learned type on keyboard after completed my HSC examination for my IELTS purpose.

✓ I learned to type on the keyboard after I had completed my HSC examination for my IELTS preparation.

Multiple issues: After verbs like 'learn' you normally use the infinitive 'to type' rather than base form. 'Completed' requires a subject and proper tense: using past perfect ('had completed') clarifies that completion happened before learning. 'Keyboard' needs the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific object like 'the keyboard'. 'for my IELTS purpose' is awkward; use 'for my IELTS preparation'. Suggestion: use 'learned to + verb' and time sequencing with past perfect when appropriate; include necessary articles and use natural noun phrases like 'IELTS preparation'.

× Honestly, to improve my typing I practice. I practice type typing every day and I write 1000 plus word.

✓ Honestly, to improve my typing I practice. I practice typing every day and I write more than 1,000 words.

'Practice' as a verb is followed by the gerund 'typing', not the base form 'type'. '1000 plus word' is incorrect: use 'more than 1,000 words' (plural 'words' and clearer quantifier). Also add commas or restructure sentences for clarity. Suggestion: use gerund after 'practice' when naming the activity ('practice typing') and use proper plural for 'words' and standard quantifier phrasing 'more than 1,000 words'.

× I prefer typing, which is very easy and fast compared to handwriting.

✓ I prefer typing, which is much easier and faster than handwriting.

Comparative forms: when comparing adjectives, use comparative forms 'easier' and 'faster' rather than 'easy' and 'fast'. Use 'than' for comparisons, not 'compared to' in this structure; 'much' is a common intensifier. Also 'handwriting' as a noun is fine. Suggestion: use adjective comparatives ('easier', 'faster') and the preposition 'than' for direct comparisons.
