Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 答えは明確ですが、文法ミスや冗長表現が目立ちます。まず冒頭で簡潔に主張（topic sentence）を述べ、次に1〜2文で理由と具体例を述べる練習をしてください。例えば“prefer to typing”は不自然なので“prefer typing”か“prefer to type”に直します。また“to tell my mind”は意味が曖昧なので“to express my feelings”など具体的な表現にするとよいです。語順や冠詞の使い方（a/an/the）にも注意してください。

例: I prefer typing because I use my phone and laptop every day, and it’s faster. However, when I want to express personal feelings, I choose handwriting because a handwritten letter feels more personal.

提案: 話の主旨は分かりますが、文法や語順、語彙選択が不自然で意味が伝わりにくい箇所があります。まず一文目で明確に“desktop or laptop”のどちらを使うか答え、その後で理由を述べる構成にしましょう。“While it is harmful my eyesight”は“Although it harms my eyesight”や“Even though it can strain my eyes”のように自然な接続表現と語順に直してください。“I have to plea”は誤用なので削除または“I have to”で十分です。

例: I usually use a laptop to study English because it’s portable and convenient. Although using a computer can strain my eyes, I rely on it to study more efficiently for this exam.

提案: 回答は概ね良いですが、繰り返しや不自然な表現があり、文をまとめる力が必要です。まず簡潔に時期を述べ、その後に理由や現在の利点を具体的に説明しましょう。“It is useful so that I can use the skill, that skill, that skills now”は冗長なので“一 learned it at school and still use it now”のように要点をまとめてください。

例: I learned to type when I was in junior high because I took technology classes. That training has been useful, and I still use typing skills for studying and communicating online.

提案: 主張が不明瞭で繰り返しが多く、具体的な改善方法が示されていません。まず自分の現在の状況を簡潔に述べ（例：I’m not very fast at typing）、次に具体的な改善方法（練習アプリ、タイピングソフト、毎日練習する時間など）を1〜2文で述べると良いです。また“substantial”は文脈に合わないので“important”などが適切です。

例: I’m not very fast at typing, so I practice every day using online typing tutorials and apps. For example, I spend 15 minutes daily on accuracy drills and track my words-per-minute to measure improvement.

× I prefer to typing as I always use my phone to type the sentence.

✓ I prefer typing because I always use my phone to type sentences.

The verb 'prefer' is followed by a gerund (verb+ing) or 'to' plus the base verb, not 'to' plus gerund. Use 'prefer typing' or 'prefer to type'. Also changed 'as' to 'because' for clarity and pluralized 'sentence' to 'sentences' for naturalness.

× However, when I write a letter for someone, I tend to use handwriting to tell my mind.

✓ However, when I write a letter to someone, I tend to use handwriting to express my thoughts.

Use 'write a letter to someone' not 'for someone' when indicating the recipient. 'Tell my mind' is not natural; use 'express my thoughts' or 'express myself'. 'Handwriting' is fine but collocates with 'use handwriting to...'.

× Yes, I tend to use my computer to study English for this exam.

✓ Yes, I tend to use my computer to study English for this exam.

Sentence is acceptable but keep tense and structure; no grammatical change needed. (No correction required.)

× While it is harmful my eyesight, I have to plea I have to use computer to improve the efficiency in studying.

✓ Although it is harmful to my eyesight, I have to use a computer to improve my study efficiency.

Use 'although' or 'while' with correct word order and include 'to' before 'my eyesight'. 'I have to plea' is incorrect; use 'I have to'. Include an article 'a' before 'computer' unless speaking generally. 'Efficiency in studying' is more natural as 'study efficiency' or 'the efficiency of studying'.

× When I was a junior high school student, I used to take technology classes.

✓ When I was a junior high school student, I used to take technology classes.

Sentence correctly uses 'used to' for past habitual action; no correction required. (No correction required.)

× It is useful so that I can use the skill, that skill, that skills now.

✓ It was useful, so I can use that skill now.

Clarified reference: use 'that skill' (singular) rather than repeating or using plural 'skills' inconsistently. Use 'was useful' for past training leading to present ability and keep 'now' at end for clarity.

× I'm not sure I I'm not good at typing, but I suppose it is.

✓ I'm not sure; I'm not good at typing, but I suppose I will improve.

Remove duplicated 'I'. 'I suppose it is' is vague; replace with a clear clause like 'I suppose I will improve' to express expectation. Punctuation improves clarity.

× It is so substantial to use always.

✓ It is very important to keep using it regularly.

'Substantial' is not appropriate when meaning 'important' or 'useful'. 'To use always' is ungrammatical; use 'to keep using it regularly' or 'to practice regularly'.

× Even though it is challenging to continue typing, we have to continue to improve.

✓ Even though it is challenging to keep practicing typing, we have to continue improving.

Use 'keep practicing typing' or 'continue practicing typing' instead of 'continue typing' which could mean 'keep typing' physically. Use 'continue improving' rather than 'continue to improve' for smoother style; both are possible.
