Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and long awkward clauses.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting has always been messy and slow. For example, in high school my teacher encouraged us to write by hand, but I found it difficult to read my own notes, so I now type to save time and keep things neat.

提案: Be concise and use clearer linking words. Correct vocabulary (e.g., 'carry' not 'clutch') and avoid unnecessary background. Give a short reason why laptop suits you now.

例: I type on a laptop every day because I don't own a desktop anymore. I prefer the laptop keyboard since it's portable and lets me work in different places around the house or café.

提案: Give a clearer, more natural answer: state the age, mention who taught you, and connect reasons briefly with linking words. Avoid awkward phrasing like 'addicted to computer'—use 'interested in' or 'used the computer a lot.'

例: I learned to type when I was about six years old; my father taught me because I was very interested in computers. As a result, I quickly became comfortable typing, and I used those skills to communicate on sites like Facebook and Twitter later on.

提案: Organise your answer with a topic sentence and two specific methods, using linking words. Use precise language (e.g., 'increase speed', 'reduce errors') and explain briefly why each method helps.

例: I improve my typing mainly in two ways. First, I practise on typing websites and apps which provide timed drills to increase speed and accuracy; second, I use tools like ChatGPT to check my writing for mistakes and get feedback, and I also find a comfortable mechanical keyboard helps reduce errors and fatigue.

× I prefer typing instead of handwriting.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting.

Use the correct collocation 'prefer A to B' rather than 'prefer A instead of B'. Replace 'instead of' with 'to' to sound natural.

× When I was high school our teacher told me how to writing handwritten but from that day I hate writing in by handwritten and also my handwritten skills are not as good as average person so I don't prefer.

✓ When I was in high school, our teacher showed me how to write by hand, but since that day I have hated handwriting, and my handwriting is not as good as the average person's, so I don't prefer it.

Multiple errors: missing preposition 'in' before 'high school'; wrong verb form 'told me how to writing' should be 'showed me how to write'; 'writing in by handwritten' is ungrammatical — use 'handwriting' or 'write by hand'; tense and aspect: 'from that day I hate' should be present perfect 'I have hated' to link past event to present; comparison needs 'the average person's' (possessive) and include 'it' as object. Break into clearer clauses.

× Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

✓ Do you type on a desktop or a laptop keyboard every day?

When contrasting two countable singular nouns, include the indefinite article 'a' before the second noun if not using the article before the first. Alternatively use 'on a desktop or a laptop' for parallelism.

× I type on a laptop because I don't have any desktop.

✓ I type on a laptop because I don't have a desktop.

Use 'a desktop' for a singular countable noun. 'Any' is normally used in negative sentences with plural or uncountable nouns; with a single item 'a desktop' is clearer.

× When I was a child I had a desktop and at that time I had to use desktop keyboard.

✓ When I was a child, I had a desktop, and at that time I had to use the desktop's keyboard.

Add commas for clarity. Refer to 'the desktop's keyboard' (possessive) or 'the desktop keyboard' for a specific keyboard. Maintain past tense 'had to use'.

× But now since I have a laptop I need to use my laptop's keyboard and also I prefer using laptop's keyboard because I can clutch it everywhere.

✓ But now that I have a laptop, I use its keyboard, and I prefer using a laptop keyboard because I can take it with me anywhere.

Use 'now that' to indicate cause; avoid repeating 'laptop' by using the possessive pronoun 'its'; 'need to use' is unnecessary—simple present 'use' is better for habitual action; 'clutch it everywhere' is awkward and incorrect — use 'take it with me anywhere' for intended meaning.

× I learned it when I was around six years old.

✓ I learned to type when I was around six years old.

Be specific about what 'it' refers to: 'learned to type'. Keep past tense 'learned'.

× My father taught me because I was addicted to computer at that time, so it was quite easy to me to learn.

✓ My father taught me because I was addicted to computers at that time, so it was quite easy for me to learn.

Use plural 'computers' or 'the computer' and correct preposition 'addicted to'; change 'easy to me' to 'easy for me' (correct prepositional collocation).

× And at that time period I had social medias such as Facebook and Twitter, so I had used these tools.

✓ At that time, I used social media such as Facebook and Twitter, so I used those platforms.

Use 'social media' (uncountable) rather than 'social medias'; 'at that time period' is wordy—'at that time' is sufficient. Use simple past 'used' not 'had used' unless sequencing requires past perfect; 'these tools' -> 'those platforms' for clarity.

× How do you improve your typing?

✓ How do you improve your typing?

This question sentence is correct and needs no change.

× There are some good websites to improve your typing skills.

✓ There are some good websites that can help you improve your typing skills.

Add 'that can help you' to make the purpose clearer. Original sentence is acceptable but can be improved for clarity.

× For example fast outcome you can increase your speed of the writing and also you can use ChatGPT to in order to avoid from writing issues.

✓ For example, by practicing regularly you can increase your typing speed, and you can also use ChatGPT to help you avoid writing mistakes.

The original phrase 'fast outcome' is unclear; replace with 'by practicing regularly' to express how to obtain faster results. 'Speed of the writing' should be 'typing speed'. 'Use ChatGPT to in order to avoid from writing issues' is ungrammatical—use 'use ChatGPT to help you avoid writing mistakes'.

× And I think that using mechanical keyboard instead of normal keyboard can improve your writing skills.

✓ I think that using a mechanical keyboard instead of a normal one can improve your typing skills.

Include articles 'a' before 'mechanical keyboard' and 'normal one' for parallelism. Use 'typing skills' rather than 'writing skills' because the context is keyboard typing. 'And' at the start is unnecessary; remove for formality.
