Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve fluency and clarity: reduce hesitations (uh), use correct tense and simple clear sentences. Structure: give a direct topic sentence, then one or two supporting reasons with linking words. Content: be specific about why handwriting is preferred (e.g., comfort, speed, memory). Vocabulary: use appropriate words (prefer, beautiful, comfortable, computer-based exam).

例: I prefer handwriting because I find it more comfortable and my handwriting is neat. Also, writing by hand helps me remember ideas better, while typing sometimes feels impersonal. However, I would be willing to take a computer-based IELTS test if needed.

提案: Be concise and grammatically correct: state the fact directly (I don't have my own desktop or laptop; I use my sister's laptop). Use linking phrase if adding a reason. Avoid repetition and hesitations. Provide a brief detail about frequency or purpose (e.g., for study, once a day).

例: I don't have my own desktop or laptop; I usually use my sister's laptop for writing and studying. I use it almost every day, especially for homework and browsing the internet.

提案: Clarify time and use correct past tense: give a clear time reference (as a child, at age X) and avoid confusing details. Use one supporting clause with a linking word (because/when) to explain circumstances. Keep sentences short and precise.

例: I learned to type when I was a child, around the age of eight. My sister brought a computer to our home then, so I practiced typing on it regularly.

提案: Explain methods clearly and use correct grammar: state how you improve (practice, online lessons, typing games). Use linking words (for example, by, so) and give a specific example or frequency. Avoid awkward phrasing and double negatives.

例: I improve my typing by practising regularly on online typing sites and by copying texts to increase speed and accuracy. For example, I spend 20 minutes daily on a typing tutor and check my mistakes to get better.

× Uh, Julia, I preferred uh, handwriting because my handwriting is very beautiful.

✓ Uh, Julia, I prefer handwriting because my handwriting is very beautiful.

The student used the past tense 'preferred' but is expressing a general present preference; use present simple 'prefer' for habitual or general preferences. Suggestion: use 'I prefer' when stating current likes or dislikes.

× Uh, I think, uh, I can see too typing, uh, more than uh, handwriting.

✓ Uh, I think I prefer typing more than handwriting.

The original sentence is awkward and uses 'can see too' incorrectly. This is a present-tense opinion; use 'I prefer typing more than handwriting' or 'I like typing more than handwriting.' Remove redundant words and correct word order.

× Uh, sometimes, uh, I want uh, my IELTS exam in on computer base, but.

✓ Sometimes I want my IELTS exam to be on a computer, though.

The student used 'want' with incorrect phrase 'in on computer base.' To express a desire about a future/form option, use 'want' + 'to be' and correct noun phrase 'on a computer' or 'computer-based.' Suggestion: 'I want my IELTS exam to be computer-based.'

× Actually, I haven't a desktop laptop, desktop, uh, laptop, uh, laptop, but my sister's laptop, uh, keyboard, uh, I usually use for it.

✓ Actually, I don't have a desktop or a laptop, but I usually use my sister's laptop keyboard.

The student used 'haven't' incorrectly instead of 'don't have' and misordered nouns. Use 'don't have' for possession and include articles 'a desktop or a laptop.' Place modifiers correctly: 'my sister's laptop keyboard' or 'my sister's laptop.'

× I think I learn how to type on a keyboard in my childhood because my sister brought the computer my twin 15-8.

✓ I think I learned how to type on a keyboard in my childhood because my sister bought a computer for my twin when they were 15 or 8.

The verb 'learn' should be in past tense 'learned' for an action completed in childhood. 'Brought' is the wrong verb; 'bought' (purchased) fits better. The time expression 'my twin 15-8' is unclear; clarify with 'when they were 15' or the correct age. Suggestion: provide a clear age and use past tense verbs for past events.

× I think in the time I will type the this time.

✓ I think at that time I practiced typing.

The original is ungrammatical and redundant ('I will type the this time'). For past events use past tense 'practiced' or 'was typing.' Suggest rephrasing to 'At that time I practiced typing' to convey the intended meaning.

× I think I am improve my typing skill from my own myself because when I haven't teaching forever anyone to help to use in typing to computer.

✓ I think I improved my typing skills by myself because I never had anyone to teach me how to type on a computer.

Multiple tense and wording errors: 'I am improve' is incorrect; use past simple 'I improved' or present perfect 'I have improved' depending on context. 'From my own myself' is redundant; use 'by myself.' 'When I haven't teaching forever anyone' should be 'because I never had anyone to teach me.' Also correct 'typing to computer' to 'typing on a computer.' Suggestion: simplify and use correct tense and prepositions.
