Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise, avoid repetitions and hesitations, and give a clear reason with one specific example. Structure your reply with a topic sentence then one or two supporting details using a linking word.

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me remember information better. For example, when I take notes by hand during lectures, I process ideas more deeply and can recall details more accurately.

提案: Answer directly first, then add a short supporting detail. Reduce hesitations and remove unnecessary conjunctions at the start.

例: I type on a desktop keyboard every day because I don't own a laptop. As a result, all my school and work documents are created and edited on my desktop computer.

提案: Good structure and relevant detail. Improve by being more precise and using smoother linking phrases. Avoid filler words like 'I think' when you are sure.

例: I learned to type when I was in primary school, as it was part of the curriculum. All students took basic typing classes to improve their computer skills, which gave me a solid foundation.

提案: Give a clear method and specific example of how you improved. Use linking words and avoid vague clichés and many hesitations.

例: I improved my typing mainly through regular use. For instance, by writing essays and emails daily and occasionally using online typing exercises, my speed and accuracy gradually improved.

× I definitely prefer handwriting because because I'm just a kind of person who who has difficulty in reading or writing on the on the on the on the desk desktop.

✓ I definitely prefer handwriting because I'm the kind of person who has difficulty reading or writing on a desktop.

Pronoun phrase 'a kind of person who who' is redundant and 'the kind of person who' is the correct fixed expression. Also 'difficulty in reading or writing on the on the on the on the desk desktop' contains repeated words and a preposition issue; 'difficulty reading or writing on a desktop' is more natural. Suggestion: remove repeated words and use the fixed phrase 'the kind of person who' and 'difficulty + verb' without 'in'. Note: This issue is classified as Incorrect use of pronouns because the pronoun phrase structure was incorrect and redundant.

× Because I do not have a laptop, so I umm, so most of my typing, umm, it's happening on my desktop.

✓ I do not have a laptop, so most of my typing happens on my desktop.

Starting with 'Because' and then adding 'so' creates a redundant conjunction. 'It's happening' is an awkward progressive for a habitual action; use simple present 'happens'. Also remove filler 'umm'. Suggestion: use one coordinating conjunction ('so') and simple present to describe habitual actions. This is Classified as Incorrect use of pronouns because conjunction misuse and sentence structure interact with pronoun 'it' misuse; main correction focuses on pronoun and sentence construction.

× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was very little.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was very young.

The phrase 'very little' is nonstandard in this context; use 'very young'. Tense (past) is correct for a past learning event. Suggestion: replace 'very little' with 'very young' or 'as a child' for natural English.

× Specifically, I think it was when I was in my primary school where all students were asked to learn how to type on keyboard in order to enhance their computer skills.

✓ Specifically, I think it was when I was in primary school, where all students were asked to learn how to type on a keyboard in order to improve their computer skills.

Use 'in primary school' (no article) rather than 'in my primary school' for general statement; also 'type on a keyboard' requires the article 'a'. 'Enhance' is okay but 'improve' is more natural here. Suggestion: use correct article with 'keyboard' and 'in primary school' for natural phrasing. Classified as Incorrect use of prepositions because of 'in my primary school' and missing article before 'keyboard' (preposition/article misuse).

× I think, uh, just the practice makes umm, perfection.

✓ I think practice makes perfect.

The phrase 'the practice makes perfection' is ungrammatical and unidiomatic. The proverb is 'practice makes perfect.' Remove fillers 'uh' and 'umm' and the unnecessary article 'the'. Suggestion: learn common fixed expressions and avoid unnecessary articles.

× I, I never umm, uh, intentionally uh, practiced my typing skills, but as I grew up, I have to do a lot of work on computer and therefore my typing skills, uh, enhanced.

✓ I never intentionally practiced my typing skills, but as I grew up I had to do a lot of work on the computer, and therefore my typing skills improved.

Mixed tenses: 'never practiced' (past) should be followed by past consequence 'had to' and past result 'improved' instead of present 'have to' and past 'enhanced'. Use 'the computer' for specific device usage. 'Enhanced' is awkward; 'improved' is more natural. Remove fillers. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense when describing past habits and results.
