Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 回答は意図は分かりますが、表現がやや不自然で冗長です。まず主題文で明確に答え(typing / handwriting)を示し、その後短い理由を1〜2文で補足してください。例えば“when I'm making something like posture or documents”は不明瞭なので具体例(reports, emails)に直し、連結語(because, while)を使って論理的に繋げましょう。発話は最大5文に収め、曖昧な語(something, posture)は避けてください。
Example: I prefer typing for formal work such as reports and emails because it is faster and easier to edit. However, I prefer handwriting for taking notes during lectures because it helps me remember information better.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: 答えは基本的だがまとまりがなく冗長な繰り返しがあります。まず短く明確に“desktop”と答え、その後に日常業務の具体例(emails, documents)と頻度を一文で述べてください。不要な語(also keyboard, umm)を省き、文を整理するとより自然になります。
Example: Yes, I use a desktop keyboard every day. I mostly type emails and prepare documents for my job, so I spend several hours at the computer.

Example: I learned to type when I was 12. My mother taught me, and learning early has helped me a lot in school and at work because I can type quickly.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 意図は明確ですが、文法と表現が不自然で詳細が不足しています。どのようにゲームが役立つか(speed, accuracy)、どんな練習をするか、どのくらいの頻度で行うかを具体的に述べてください。“Sushida”の説明も一文で完結に。不要な言い淀み(Umm)を避け、つなぎ言葉(for example, because)を使いましょう。
Example: I improve my typing by playing online typing games, such as Sushida, several times a week. These games help me increase my speed and accuracy by practicing common words and timed drills.
× I prefer typing when I'm making something like posture or documents, but I prefer handwriting when I write what I'm listening at the same time.
✓ I prefer typing when I'm making things like posters or documents, but I prefer handwriting when I take notes while I'm listening.
The student used incorrect or unclear prepositions and nouns: 'making something like posture' is incorrect; 'posture' should be 'poster' or 'posters' and 'making' with 'things' is more natural. 'Write what I'm listening at the same time' uses wrong preposition and verb choice. Use 'take notes while I'm listening' to express writing during listening. Use plural 'posters' to indicate examples. Ensure correct preposition 'while' instead of 'at the same time' for smoother connection.
× Yes, I type on the desktop. Umm in my daily work I usually make emails and documents so I usually do that and also keyboard.
✓ Yes, I type on a desktop. In my daily work I usually write emails and documents, so I do that using a keyboard.
Problems: 'the desktop' implies a specific desktop; use 'a desktop' for general. 'Make emails' is unnatural; use 'write emails'. The phrase 'do that and also keyboard' is ungrammatical; clarify with 'using a keyboard'. Pronoun 'that' was vague; rephrase for clarity.
× Umm, I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was 12 years old. My mother taught me how to do that and that makes me really helpful.
✓ I learned to type on the keyboard when I was 12 years old. My mother taught me, and that has been really helpful.
Use 'learned to type' (infinitive) is more natural than 'learned how to type'. The second clause used present tense 'makes me really helpful' incorrectly; the intended meaning is a lasting benefit, so use present perfect 'has been really helpful'. Also 'helpful' describes something that helps others; 'helpful for me' or 'helpful to me' is acceptable, but 'has been really helpful' is concise and natural.
× I use typing games to improve my typing skills. Umm especially the game called Sushida. It is more it has a lot a different of.
✓ I use typing games to improve my typing skills, especially a game called Sushida. It has a lot of variety.
Sentence fragments and incorrect constructions: 'Umm especially the game called Sushida.' is a fragment; combine with previous sentence. 'It is more it has a lot a different of' is ungrammatical; intended meaning is 'it has a lot of variety' or 'it has many different levels'. Use noun phrases with correct prepositions 'a lot of' and appropriate noun 'variety'.
