Part 1

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: 回答は明確で主旨は伝わりますが、話し方がやや不自然で言い淀み(uh)が多く、文が途中で切れている点を改善してください。具体的には: 1) 「uh」を避けて流暢に話す練習をする。2) トピックセンテンスに続けて具体例を1〜2文で完結に述べる。3) 比較表現(easier than typing)を明確に完結させ、理由を一つ具体的に示す。

Example: I prefer handwriting because I remember information better when I write it down. For example, when I take lecture notes by hand, I retain key points longer and can recall them more easily than when I type.

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: 内容は伝わりますが、冗長さ(uh, during during)や語順がやや不自然です。改善策: 1) 余分なフィラー(uh)を減らす。2) 時制と表現を自然に整える("I learned to touch type at about 12")。3) もう一文で学んだ方法や練習内容を簡潔に補足すると良い。

Example: I learned to touch type when I was about 12 at school. In our computer class we practiced typing drills regularly, which helped me develop speed and accuracy.

How do you improve your typing?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: 回答は具体的で分かりやすいですが、時制の一致と単語形(exercise→exercises)、語順の改善でより自然になります。改善策: 1) 現在形で習慣を表す場合は現在形を使う(I use / I practice)。2) 複数形や冠詞を正しく使う。3) もう一文で頻度や効果を述べて完成させる。

Example: I improve my typing by using an online site called Sushi Typing, which offers timed exercises. For example, the drills require me to type short phrases quickly, and I practice for about 20 minutes a day to increase my speed.

Grammar

Sentence structure errors

× I prefer handwriting because writing things by hand helps me remember them better. Uh, for example, uh, when I take notes in lecture, I can remember more easily than when I.

✓ I prefer handwriting because writing things by hand helps me remember them better. For example, when I take notes in lectures, I can remember more easily than when I type.

The original sentence ends abruptly and omits the comparison object, causing a sentence structure error (incomplete clause). Also "in lecture" should be plural or use an article: "in lectures" or "in a lecture." Suggestion: complete the comparison by adding the missing clause (than when I type) and use the correct noun form 'lectures'. Grammar points: complete the clause to avoid sentence fragments; ensure noun form matches general habit (lectures).

Subject-verb agreement errors

× Yes, I type on a laptop, laptop computer or laptop keyboard every day because most of my work and communication are done on them. For example, I write e-mail and report it.

✓ Yes, I type on a laptop or a laptop keyboard every day because most of my work and communication are done on it. For example, I write e-mails and reports.

There are two issues: mismatched pronoun reference and number agreement. 'Laptop' is singular, so the pronoun should be 'it' not 'them' (subject-verb agreement / pronoun reference). Also 'e-mail and report it' is unclear and misnumbered; use plural forms 'e-mails and reports' for general habitual actions. Suggestion: use consistent singular/plural forms and match pronouns accordingly; when listing alternatives, include articles and avoid redundancy ('laptop, laptop computer' is repetitive).

Past tense issue

× I wanted to type uh, when I was at school around the age of 12. Uh, during during computer class, we practiced touch typing.

✓ I learned to type when I was at school around the age of 12. During computer class, we practiced touch typing.

'I wanted to type' expresses desire in the past, not the completed action of learning; the question asks when the student learned, so past simple 'learned' is appropriate. Also remove duplicated word 'during during'. Suggestion: use the correct past tense verb 'learned' for completed past events and proofread to remove repeated words. Note: keep 'we practiced' in simple past to describe past habitual action.

Verb in the -ing form

× I used an online site called Sushi Typing which offers timed exercise. For example, the drills require me to type short phrases quickly.

✓ I used an online site called Sushi Typing which offers timed exercises. For example, the drills require me to type short phrases quickly.

The main issue is count noun agreement: 'exercise' should be plural 'exercises' when referring to multiple timed activities. The verb forms are acceptable: 'offers' (present simple to describe the site's current features) and 'require me to type' is correct. Suggestion: use correct plural form for countable nouns and keep consistent tense when describing a site's features.
