Typing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and grammatically accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. “I prefer typing at work but handwriting for personal notes”), then give one specific reason for each choice using a linking word (e.g. “because” / “however”). Avoid vague endings like “and it is more.”

예시: I prefer typing at work because it’s faster and easier to send emails. However, at home I often handwrite personal notes because writing on paper helps me remember things better.

제안: Make your response clearer and correct minor grammar/content errors. Begin with a direct answer (Yes), then give concise supporting details with linking phrases (e.g. “because” / “and”). Clarify your job title and avoid unnecessary repetition.

예시: Yes, I type every day. I use a laptop at work because I have a full-time job repairing books, and I also use it at home to study for the IELTS and French.

제안: Improve sentence clarity and avoid awkward phrases. Start with a clear time reference, then give a brief specific detail about the experience. Use correct article and tense forms.

예시: I learned to type in junior high school when our school bought its first computer. It was a Pentium II, and because the machine was new and exciting I started practicing typing regularly.

제안: Be precise about methods and correct verb forms. Answer directly and give one or two specific activities with linking words to show cause and effect. Replace “writing” with “typing” if that is what you mean.

예시: I improve my typing by taking an online course through the Toronto Public Library and practising at home every day. As a result, my speed and accuracy have gotten better.

× 'Well, it depends on a situation.'

✓ 'Well, it depends on the situation.'

'a situation' is incorrect here because the fixed expression is "depend on the situation"; using the indefinite article makes the phrase awkward. Use the definite article to refer to the situation being discussed.'

× 'When I am at work I try to type everything and like letters, e-mail and so on.'

✓ 'When I am at work, I try to type everything, like letters, e-mails, and so on.'

'like' should be followed by examples and commas are needed to separate clauses and items; also use plural "e-mails" when speaking generally. Add a comma after the introductory time phrase.'

× 'But when I am at home and I want to write down something for myself, I write on a paper and it is more.'

✓ 'But when I am at home and want to write something for myself, I write on paper; it feels better.'

'write down something' is acceptable but more natural is "write something"; use "on paper" not "on a paper" for general medium. "it is more" is ungrammatical and unclear; replace with a clear adjective phrase like "it feels better." Remove the extra subject "I" for conciseness.'

× 'Yes I do as I have a full time job and I work as a book repair.'

✓ 'Yes, I do, as I have a full-time job and I work as a book repairer.'

'full time' should be hyphenated as "full-time" when used as an adjective. The profession is not "book repair" (a noun phrase); use the agent noun "book repairer" or "book restorer." Add commas for clarity.'

× 'I use laptop and keyboard on a daily basis at work as I am studying for IELTS exam and French.'

✓ 'I use a laptop and keyboard on a daily basis at work, and I am studying for the IELTS exam and French.'

Use the article "a" with "laptop" and include "the" before "IELTS exam." Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction and connect the two related ideas with "and." '

× 'I use it at home also.'

✓ 'I also use it at home.'

Word order: place the adverb "also" before or after the verb depending on emphasis; "I also use it at home" is more natural than ending the sentence with "also." '

× 'Well, when I was a student at junior high school, we bought at the first computer.'

✓ 'Well, when I was a student at junior high school, we bought our first computer.'

Incorrect word order: "bought at the first computer" is wrong. Use possessive "our" with "first computer." Remove the extraneous preposition "at." '

× 'At that time it was Pentium 2 and I started to learn typing on computer because it was new and very exciting for me to learn.'

✓ 'At that time it was a Pentium II, and I started to learn typing on the computer because it was new and very exciting for me.'

Use the indefinite article "a" before "Pentium II" (and standardize Roman numerals). Use "on the computer" for a specific machine introduced earlier. Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction and avoid repeating "to learn." '

× 'Well, I enroll an online class on Toronto Public Library which is related to typing and I practice at home whenever I have time.'

✓ 'Well, I enrolled in an online class at the Toronto Public Library that is about typing, and I practice at home whenever I have time.'

Tense: student is describing ongoing study but used present "enroll" incorrectly; past simple or present perfect is better depending on context. Use "enrolled in" or "have enrolled in." Preposition: "at the Toronto Public Library" is natural, and use "that is about typing" instead of "which is related to." '

× 'It helps me to improve my writing.'

✓ 'It helps me improve my typing/writing skills.'

Phrase "helps me to improve" is grammatical but more natural without "to" in many varieties: "helps me improve." Also clarify whether the skill improved is "typing" rather than general "writing" since context refers to typing practice; add "skills" for clarity.'
