Typing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and correct small lexical/semantic slips. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid odd phrases like “drawing on tyres” unless intended; if meant, clarify context. Use a linking word to connect the reason and the example.

예시: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and elegant than typed text. For instance, when I make greeting cards by hand, my handwriting gives each card a unique look that typed text cannot replicate.

제안: Give a direct topic sentence and reduce redundancy. Use one sentence to state which device you use and another to explain why, with a linking word. Avoid repeating words like “keyboard/keyboards.”

예시: Yes, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because most of my work and study tasks are done on my laptop. As a result, I spend several hours daily typing emails, reports, and assignments.

제안: Begin with a clear topic sentence and avoid fillers (“Keyboard.”). Use correct word forms and avoid repetition (“quick quite quickly”). Provide one specific activity as evidence and link it logically.

예시: I learned to type when I was eight after my parents gave me a laptop for my birthday. Since then, I practised by playing computer games and sending messages, which helped me improve quickly.

제안: Avoid dismissive answers and correct pronunciation/spelling errors in speech (e.g., “temping” → “typing”). Give one concrete method you use to maintain or improve speed and accuracy, with a linking word to explain the effect.

예시: I practise typing daily, which keeps my speed and accuracy high. Additionally, I use online typing tests once a week to measure my progress and focus on reducing errors.

× All my work and study is going on in my laptop and keyboard, so I have to type a lot of text on these keyboards.

✓ All my work and study are done on my laptop, so I have to type a lot of text on its keyboard.

The preposition 'in' is incorrect for electronic devices; use 'on' for using a laptop. 'Going on in my laptop and keyboard' is unnatural; use 'done on my laptop'. Also subject-verb agreement: 'All my work and study' is a compound subject and requires plural verb 'are'. 'These keyboards' is inconsistent with singular 'my laptop' and should be 'its keyboard' to match.

× Keyboard. I learned to type when I was 8 because my parents gave me a laptop for my birthday, so I had to learn how to use the keyboard.

✓ I learned to type when I was eight because my parents gave me a laptop for my birthday, so I had to learn how to use the keyboard.

The isolated word 'Keyboard.' is a sentence fragment and should be removed. Also write numbers under ten in words ('eight') in formal speech. The rest of the sentence is fine; removing the fragment fixes the sentence structure error.

× I practice it a lot by playing computer games and typing simple messages, so I picked it up quick quite quickly.

✓ I practiced a lot by playing computer games and typing simple messages, so I picked it up quite quickly.

Two issues: adverb redundancy and incorrect adverb form. 'Quick' is an adjective; use the adverb 'quickly'. Also 'quick quite quickly' repeats meaning; keep one adverb ('quite quickly'). Additionally, tense consistency: use past tense 'practiced' since learning happened in the past.

× I don't need to improve my temping now because I'm already quite confident and accurate.

✓ I don't need to improve my typing now because I'm already quite confident and accurate.

Typo: 'temping' should be 'typing'. The present tense 'don't need' is acceptable because the student says current state. Correcting the word fixes meaning. No tense change needed.

× I type every day for work and practice, so my speed and accuracy are good and I rarely make mistakes.

✓ I type every day for work and practice, so my speed and accuracy are good, and I rarely make mistakes.

This sentence is grammatically correct overall; only minor punctuation improvement by adding a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. Tense and subject-verb agreement are correct.

× I prefer handwriting because it looks more personal and elegant than typed text.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it looks more personal and elegant than typed text.

Sentence is correct; third person singular 'it looks' correctly matches 'handwriting'. No change needed.

× For example, I enjoy writing crazy cards and drawing on tyres by hand, since the handwriting gives them a nicer, more unique appearance.

✓ For example, I enjoy writing quirky cards and drawing on tires by hand, since the handwriting gives them a nicer, more unique appearance.

'Crazy cards' is informal and 'quirky' is more appropriate. 'Tyres' is British spelling; 'tires' is American—either is acceptable but choose consistently. Preposition 'by hand' is fine. No grammatical error beyond word choice; this suggestion improves register and spelling consistency.
