Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Focus on clarity, accuracy and coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two concise supportive reasons with correct grammar and linking words. Avoid unclear or incorrect phrases (e.g. “washly used in history”) and reduce repetition. Use specific examples (e.g. writing essays, emails) and linkers like ‘because’ and ‘for example’.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and more convenient. For example, when I write essays or emails I can quickly edit text and change formatting. Also, I can easily share documents online, which helps when collaborating with classmates.

提案: Make your answer direct and grammatical. Begin with a clear topic sentence stating which device you use, then give 1–2 specific reasons using linking words like ‘because’ or ‘so’. Avoid vague or incorrect words (e.g. ‘leftover’) and keep sentences concise.

例: I use a laptop keyboard every day because most of my assignments and work are completed on it. As a result, I find it convenient for researching online and communicating with classmates and teachers.

提案: Provide a clear time reference and correct grammar. Start with a direct statement (e.g. ‘I learned to type when…’), then add a concise reason and one specific detail about how you learned. Avoid repetition and fix verb forms and articles.

例: I learned to type when I started my bachelor’s degree because it was necessary for completing assignments. I also took a short typing course and practised on the university computers several times a week.

提案: Be specific about methods and use correct comparative structures. Start with a topic sentence describing your main strategy, then give 2 concrete methods (e.g. timed practice, online lessons) and link them with words like ‘for example’ or ‘also’. Correct mistakes like ‘what type faster than accurate’.

例: I improve my typing by practising every day and using focused exercises. For example, I use online typing tests to increase my speed and do accuracy drills to reduce errors. I also try to type assignments without looking at the keyboard so my muscle memory gets stronger.

× It is washly used in history and require computer.

✓ It was widely used in history and required a computer.

The sentence has adjective/adverb misuse and tense/subject-verb issues. 'washly' is not a word; the correct adverb is 'widely'. The context refers to past use, so past tense 'was' and 'required' are appropriate. Also 'a computer' needs the indefinite article. Suggestion: replace 'washly' with 'widely', use past tense verbs, and add 'a' before 'computer'.

× It helps using different fonts and style easy shares document with all.

✓ It helps me use different fonts and styles and makes it easy to share documents with everyone.

Multiple issues: 'helps using' should be 'helps me use' (verb + object + base form), 'style' should be plural 'styles' to match 'fonts', 'easy shares document with all' is ungrammatical — use 'makes it easy to share documents with everyone'. Suggestion: include the pronoun after 'helps', use plural nouns consistently, and restructure to 'makes it easy to...'.

× I type on a laptop keyboard everyday because leftover is used for study and work every day.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is used for studying and working every day.

Problems: 'everyday' (adjective) vs 'every day' (adverbial phrase) — use 'every day'. 'leftover' is meaningless here; likely intended 'it' (the laptop). 'is used for study and work' sounds better as 'is used for studying and working' (gerunds after 'for'). Suggestion: replace 'leftover' with 'it', use 'every day' and gerund forms 'studying' and 'working'.

× Most of my assignment and work are done on my laptop and I can improve my habit for communication and research.

✓ Most of my assignments and work are done on my laptop, and I can improve my habits for communication and research.

'assignment' should be plural 'assignments' to match 'most of' and parallel with 'work'. 'habit' should be plural 'habits' if referring to multiple habits; if singular, rephrase 'my habit of communication and research'. Suggestion: pluralize nouns to match meaning and ensure parallel structure; add a comma before 'and' for clarity.

× Uh, I learned type on a keyword when as an adult.

✓ Uh, I learned to type on a keyboard when I was an adult.

Verb form and word choice errors: use the infinitive 'learned to type' (verb + to-infinitive). 'keyword' is incorrect; use 'keyboard'. The clause 'when as an adult' should be 'when I was an adult'. Suggestion: use correct infinitive form and correct noun 'keyboard', and include subject 'I' in the time clause.

× I learned when I started my bachelor because it was necessary for doing assignment.

✓ I learned when I started my bachelor's degree because it was necessary for doing assignments.

'bachelor' alone is incorrect; use 'bachelor's degree'. 'doing assignment' should be 'doing assignments' (plural) or 'completing assignments'. Suggestion: use the proper noun phrase 'bachelor's degree' and pluralize or rephrase 'assignments'.

× I took typing course every day and I did have access to computer when I didn't have an access to computer when I was younger.

✓ I took a typing course every day, and I did not have access to a computer when I was younger.

Missing articles: 'typing course' needs 'a typing course'. The original also contains repetition and incorrect negation: 'I did have access... when I didn't have an access...' is confused. The intended meaning is that earlier they did not have access to a computer, so use 'did not have access to a computer'. Suggestion: add the indefinite article and simplify the negation and remove repetition.

× I improve my typing by trying typing every day whether it's work, study or chatting it.

✓ I improve my typing by typing every day, whether for work, study, or chatting.

Use of gerund and word order: 'trying typing' is incorrect; simply 'typing' suffices. 'chatting it' is wrong — 'chatting' with no 'it'. Also use 'for work, study, or chatting' to show purpose. Suggestion: use gerund 'typing' and parallel prepositional phrase 'for work, study, or chatting'.

× I think what type faster than accurate.

✓ I think typing faster is more important than being accurate.

Ungrammatical structure: 'what type faster than accurate' is meaningless. Likely intended contrast 'typing faster than being accurate' or 'speed over accuracy'. Use noun/gerund phrases: 'typing faster' and 'being accurate', and include 'more important than' for clarity. Suggestion: rephrase to a clear comparative clause using gerunds.

× I get improvement just using my computer.

✓ I improved by just using my computer.

Tense mismatch: the student refers to past improvement, so use past tense 'improved' rather than present 'get improvement'. Also use 'by using my computer' or 'just by using my computer'. Suggestion: use correct past tense and natural prepositional phrase 'by using'.

× I improved it by just using my computer a lot.

✓ I improved it by just using my computer a lot.

This sentence is acceptable but tense and pronoun reference should match previous context. 'It' refers to 'my typing' — for clarity, better: 'I improved my typing by using my computer a lot.' Suggestion: specify the object 'my typing' for clarity and keep past tense 'improved'.
