Typing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and relevant, but you can improve by making it more concise, using a strong topic sentence, and adding a specific example. Reduce hesitations and avoid redundancy (e.g. “reviews for and preparing for”). Use one linking phrase to connect ideas (e.g. “however” or “because”).

예시: I prefer typing for casual chats, however I handwrite when studying for exams because writing notes by hand helps me remember information better; for example, I write summaries and diagrams in my revision notebook which I review before tests.

제안: Good direct response and clear reason. Improve by starting with a concise topic sentence, avoid repeating words (e.g. “wherever I want and whenever I want”), and add a specific supporting detail or brief example to strengthen your point.

예시: I type on a laptop every day because it is portable and convenient; for instance, I can work on essays in cafés or study in the library without being tied to one desk.

제안: Your answer gives the needed information but is tentative and filled with hesitations. Improve by using a definite topic sentence, removing fillers (uh, umm), and adding a specific age or year if possible. Use a linking phrase to connect the two clauses (e.g. “because” or “when”).

예시: I learned to type when I was in primary school, around the age of eight, because we had weekly computer lessons where the teacher taught touch-typing skills.

제안: The idea is fine but the answer is repetitive and contains many hesitations and some incorrect phrasing (“shortcut ways”, “locations of every vocabularies”). Improve by giving a clear, structured response: state the method, explain briefly, and give a concrete example of practice. Use correct vocabulary (e.g. “keys” or “letters”).

예시: There is no shortcut — I improve my typing by regular practice: for example, I use online typing lessons for 20 minutes each day and do timed drills to memorise key positions and increase speed.

× If I am chatting, I prefer typing, but if I am doing reviews for and preparing for exams, I prefer handwriting because it helps me to remember it clearly.

✓ If I am chatting, I prefer typing, but if I am reviewing and preparing for exams, I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember things more clearly.

The original uses 'doing reviews for and preparing for exams' which is awkward and repetitive. Replace with 'reviewing and preparing for exams' using gerund forms in parallel for clarity. Also 'remember it clearly' is vague; 'remember things more clearly' is more natural in present tense. Maintain present continuous for situational preference and simple present for general truth.

× I only have a laptop at home and I think it is much more convenient than the desktop because I can carry it wherever I want and whenever I want.

✓ I only have a laptop at home and I think it is much more convenient than a desktop because I can carry it wherever and whenever I want.

Comparing with 'the desktop' implies a specific desktop already mentioned; use the indefinite article 'a desktop' for a general comparison. Also 'wherever I want and whenever I want' is wordy; 'wherever and whenever I want' is more concise and natural.

× Since quite a young age, I think maybe during my uh, primary school, I started to learn how to type.

✓ I started to learn how to type when I was in primary school, at quite a young age.

The original mixes present and past ('Since quite a young age, I think maybe during... I started') and is disfluent. Use simple past 'started' and a clear time clause 'when I was in primary school' to indicate when the action began. 'Since' is not appropriate with a past simple without further structure.

× And uh, we have computer lessons to teach us how to type.

✓ We had computer lessons that taught us how to type.

The student's learning occurred in the past, so past tense is required. Change 'have' to 'had' and 'to teach' to 'that taught' to match past time reference.

× Well, there is no uh, shortcut ways.

✓ Well, there are no shortcut ways.

Subject-verb agreement: 'ways' is plural so use 'are' not 'is'. The structure requires the plural verb. Alternatively, use 'a shortcut' for singular: 'there is no shortcut'.

× I think uh, the only way is to practice more and uh, umm yeah.

✓ I think the only way is to practise more.

'Practice' as a verb in British English is spelled 'practise'; remove filler words 'uh, umm yeah' for clarity. The structure 'the only way is to practise more' correctly uses the base verb after 'to'.

× Just practice whenever you can and uh, try to remember the locations of every vocabularies.

✓ Just practise whenever you can and try to remember the locations of each vocabulary item.

'Vocabularies' is incorrect in English; 'vocabulary' is an uncountable noun, but here the student refers to individual words so 'vocabulary items' or 'words' is appropriate. Also 'every' should pair with a singular noun, so 'every vocabulary item' would be possible; 'each vocabulary item' is more natural. Use British spelling 'practise'.
