Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Avoid redundancy (e.g., "students these days") and filler phrases like "I think" at the end. Also vary vocabulary slightly (e.g., "digital devices" → "gadgets" or "electronic devices").

例: I prefer typing. Firstly, it’s much faster, so I can take more complete notes during lectures; secondly, typed notes are easy to organize and share with classmates, which saves time when studying together.

提案: Begin with a direct answer and use a linking word to add one clear reason. Replace casual contractions (''cause') and awkward phrasing ("make notes by it") with natural expressions. Keep to 2–3 sentences and give a specific detail (e.g., classes per day, how portability helps).

例: I usually type on my laptop keyboard. Because it’s lightweight and portable, I can bring it to my three classes a day and quickly type lecture notes instead of writing by hand.

提案: Answer directly with a past-time reference, avoid hedging language like "I think" and inconsistent tense. Use one supporting detail about lessons or practice frequency, in past tense. Keep it short and specific (e.g., "in primary school computer classes").

例: I learned to type when I was eight, during primary school computer classes where our teacher regularly gave us typing exercises to practice.

提案: Provide a clear method and use correct grammar and tenses. Start with a topic sentence describing your main strategy, then give a specific practice routine and a result. Correct phrases: "the secret is" and "type much faster". Avoid vague time references like "a few months ago" without context.

例: I improve my typing by practicing every day for 20–30 minutes using online typing exercises. As a result, after a few months of this routine I noticed my speed increased significantly and my accuracy improved.

× Students these days are used to using digital devices such as phones, laptops and tablets, so typing is very convenient.

✓ Many students these days are used to using digital devices such as phones, laptops, and tablets, so typing is very convenient.

Original sentence omits a determiner before 'Students' which can sound too general; adding 'Many' clarifies meaning. Also add Oxford comma for clarity. This fits 'Singular and plural issue' (ID 1) and 'Article errors' (ID 22) because the sentence benefits from a determiner to sound natural.

× It's faster and makes it easier to share your notes, I think.

✓ It's faster and makes sharing your notes easier, I think.

The structure 'makes it easier to share' is grammatical but awkward; converting to 'makes sharing your notes easier' places the gerund 'sharing' as the object and is more natural. This correction aligns with 'Verb + -ing form' (ID 8).

× Well, I type almost every day on my laptop keyboard 'cause it's portable for me to bring it to my classroom and I need to make notes by it.

✓ Well, I type almost every day on my laptop because it is portable and easy to bring to my classroom, and I use it to take notes.

Original uses colloquial ''cause' and awkward preposition 'by' after 'make notes'. Replace ''cause' with 'because', remove 'keyboard' after 'laptop' (redundant), change 'bring it to my classroom' to 'bring to my classroom', and use 'use it to take notes' which is standard. This addresses 'Sentence structure errors' (ID 26) and 'Incorrect use of prepositions' (ID 11).

× So I think I learned to type on the keyboard when I was 8.

✓ I think I learned to type on the keyboard when I was eight.

Use 'eight' in words for ages and remove extra 'So' at sentence start to be more natural. Tense is fine (past), so this is primarily a style/number-word issue but kept under 'Past tense issue' (ID 5) because sentence references a past event.

× So in my computer lessons, teachers will teach us how to type frequently.

✓ In my computer lessons, teachers often taught us how to type.

Original uses 'will teach' which is future; since referring to past regular lessons, use past simple 'taught' and adverb 'often' for frequency. This corrects tense choice: 'Present tense issue' (ID 6) and 'Future tense issue' (ID 7) overlap here; primary fix is past tense.

× So I think typing almost every day on the keyboard helps me a lot.

✓ I think typing on the keyboard almost every day helps me a lot.

Reorder adverbial phrase for natural flow: 'typing on the keyboard almost every day' is clearer. This addresses 'Verb + -ing form' (ID 8) and minor article/word order issues (ID 22).

× The secrets is keeping practicing and then a few months ago you can type much more faster.

✓ The secret is to keep practicing, and after a few months you can type much faster.

Original has multiple errors: 'The secrets' should be singular 'The secret' to match verb 'is'; use infinitive 'to keep practicing' instead of 'keeping practicing'; 'a few months ago' is past reference but sentence gives general advice so use 'after a few months'; 'much more faster' is incorrect—use 'much faster' (remove 'more'). Corrections cover 'Subject-verb agreement' (ID 27), 'Verb + -ing form' vs infinitive (ID 8), and 'Article errors' (ID 22).
