Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and clear: start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then add one specific reason and a short example. Reduce hesitations and grammar errors (use correct tense and articles). Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' to connect ideas.

例: I prefer handwriting. I have liked writing by hand since I was a child because it helps me remember things better, so I still take hand-written notes for classes and personal journals.

提案: Answer directly, then give a clear frequency and reason. Remove fillers ('um', 'uh') and correct grammar (use 'assignments are' and 'once or twice a week'). Use linking words such as 'but' and 'because'.

例: I use both a desktop and a laptop, but I don't type every day. I usually type once or twice a week because I only need to use a computer when I have lengthy assignments.

提案: Give a clear time reference (use past tense) and a short supporting detail. Avoid repetitions and fill words. Use connecting phrases like 'when I was in' and correct prepositions and verb forms.

例: I learned to type when I was in grade five or six at school. We had a computer lab then, and I enjoyed using the keyboard because it felt fast and fun.

提案: Answer directly, explain specific methods and give a short plan or example. Use correct phrases (e.g., 'online lessons', 'typing practice websites') and avoid vague wording. Use linking words like 'so' and 'for example'.

例: I haven't improved much yet, but I'm trying to get better. For example, I practise on typing websites and follow online lessons for 20 minutes every day, which helps me increase speed and accuracy.

× To be honest, since for the first time when I was a kid I prefer writing by hand and till now I use a mostly write with hand so I prefer handwriting.

✓ To be honest, since I was a kid I have preferred writing by hand, and even now I mostly write by hand, so I prefer handwriting.

The student mixes simple present with a time reference 'since I was a kid', which requires present perfect for a continued state (present perfect: 'have preferred'). Also word order and article use were incorrect ('a mostly write with hand' -> 'mostly write by hand'). Use consistent tense for ongoing preference and correct phrasing for 'write by hand'. Suggestion: Use present perfect for actions or states that began in the past and continue to the present, and use the fixed phrase 'write by hand'.

× Umm, I type on desktop and laptop keyboard, not everyday, but uh, usually in one or two days in a week, umm, as umm, because uh, sometimes my assignment are very hard, too hard and umm.

✓ I type on a desktop or laptop keyboard, not every day, but usually once or twice a week, because sometimes my assignments are very hard.

Several article and noun-number errors: 'desktop and laptop keyboard' needs articles and better conjunction ('a desktop or laptop keyboard'). 'Not everyday' should be 'not every day' (adverb phrase). 'In one or two days in a week' is unnatural; use 'once or twice a week'. 'Assignment are' has subject-verb agreement and plural noun error; use 'assignments are'. Remove filler words for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'a' before singular countable nouns, plural nouns with plural verbs, and prefer concise frequency expressions like 'once or twice a week'.

× Uh, I learn, uh, typing on a keyboard since when I was, uh, when I was uh, uh, starting in grade UH-5 or 6IN my school deal was uh, uh, la lab, umm, and I felt already uh, happy and by typing it.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was starting grade 5 or 6 at my school's lab, and I already felt happy about typing.

The sentence uses present 'learn' with the past time reference 'when I was', so past tense 'learned' is required. Phrase 'since when I was' is redundant; use 'when I was'. 'Grade UH-5 or 6IN' corrected to 'grade 5 or 6'. 'School deal was la lab' appears to mean 'school lab'. 'Felt already happy and by typing it' rephrased to 'already felt happy about typing'. Suggestion: Use simple past for completed past events and simplify redundant time phrases.

× No, uh, to be honest my typing is not that much improved, but umm, nowadays uh, as you, as we all know that it is a modern age where computer and desktop are everywhere, so I'm trying to improve it by some Internet or any.

✓ To be honest, my typing has not improved much, but nowadays, as we all know, it is a modern age with computers everywhere, so I'm trying to improve it using online resources.

'Is not that much improved' mixes passive form awkwardly; 'has not improved much' (present perfect) is clearer for a change that has not happened up to now. 'Computer and desktop are everywhere' should be plural 'computers'. 'By some Internet or any' is ungrammatical; 'using online resources' is natural. Use commas for parenthetical phrases 'as we all know'. Suggestion: Use present perfect for changes up to now ('has not improved'), plural nouns for general statements ('computers'), and clear collocations like 'online resources' or 'the internet'.
