Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more natural by avoiding contractions like 'cause' in formal speaking, add a clear topic sentence then one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Also reduce redundancy (don’t repeat 'typing' too often) and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer typing because it is generally faster and spell-check reduces errors. For formal tasks such as homework and emails I usually use a computer; however, when I need quick reminders or sketches I write by hand because it is more flexible and quicker for short notes.

提案: Start with a direct topic sentence, link ideas with words like 'because' or 'therefore', correct grammar (e.g., 'when I go to the library or have classes'), and avoid run-on sentences. Add a brief specific example about where or when you use it.

例: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it is portable and convenient. For example, I bring it to the library and to lectures, so I can take notes and finish assignments quickly due to the responsive keys.

提案: Provide a concise topic sentence with correct prepositions (e.g., 'in computer class') and avoid awkward phrasing like 'taught us how to type in'. Use linking words ('first', 'then') and one specific detail or example about practice methods or progress.

例: I learned to type in elementary school during computer class. First, the teacher demonstrated basic typing techniques and simple texts; then we practiced with exercises and games, which gradually increased our speed and confidence.

提案: Give a clear opening sentence, use correct tense and subject-verb agreement ('which gradually increases my speed'), and include a specific practice routine or measurable result. Use linking words like 'also' appropriately and avoid repetition.

例: I improve my typing by practicing every day and by learning touch typing. For instance, I spend 15 minutes on online typing drills each morning and focus on accuracy first; as a result, my speed and error rate have improved noticeably.

× I type on the laptop keyboard every day since laptop is very portable so I take it whenever I go to library or having classes.

✓ I type on the laptop keyboard every day since the laptop is very portable, so I take it whenever I go to the library or have classes.

Missing definite articles before 'laptop' and 'library' and incorrect verb form 'having classes'. Use 'the laptop' and 'the library' because specific items are meant; use 'have classes' to form a correct verb phrase. Also add a comma before 'so' to join independent clauses.

× And the keyboard of laptop is very responsive so I can finish my typing quickly.

✓ The laptop's keyboard is very responsive, so I can finish my typing quickly.

'Keyboard of laptop' is awkward; use 'the laptop's keyboard' and include 'the' for specificity. Also add a comma before 'so'. Subject-verb agreement 'keyboard is' is correct, but article and possessive form were needed for natural phrasing.

× I learned to type when I was in elementary school on computer class.

✓ I learned to type when I was in elementary school in computer class.

Use 'in computer class' rather than 'on computer class'. Preposition 'in' is used with classes and 'on' is incorrect here.

× The teacher taught us how to type in and showed us how to type some basic texts.

✓ The teacher taught us how to type and showed us how to type some basic texts.

The extra particle 'in' after 'type' is unnecessary and incorrect. Remove 'in' to make the verb transitive ('taught us how to type').

× Then she let us to practice by ourselves until we became more confident and our speed became faster.

✓ Then she let us practice by ourselves until we became more confident and our speed increased.

After 'let', use the base form of the verb without 'to' ('let us practice'). 'Became faster' is awkward for speed; use 'our speed increased' for a clearer, more natural expression.

× I prefer typing because it's faster and the auto correct helps me to avoid some spelling errors.

✓ I prefer typing because it's faster and the autocorrect helps me avoid some spelling errors.

Combine 'auto correct' into 'autocorrect' (conventional spelling) and remove unnecessary 'to' after 'helps me' (use 'helps me avoid'). Present tense is appropriate; adjust word form and infinitive usage for correctness.

× When writing homework or sending emails I usually type, but when making notes I prefer writing 'cause it is more flexible.

✓ When writing homework or sending emails, I usually type, but when making notes I prefer writing because it is more flexible.

Add comma after introductory clause. Replace informal ''cause' with 'because' for standard grammar. 'Writing homework' is slightly informal but acceptable; commas improve clarity.

× I type every day, which gradually increased my speed of typing.

✓ I type every day, which has gradually increased my typing speed.

'Which' refers to the ongoing action, so use present perfect 'has increased' to link past to present. 'Speed of typing' is awkward; 'typing speed' is the natural noun phrase.

× In addition, I also try a special technique called touch typing, typing without looking at the keyboard, which makes me familiar with the keyboard layout and reduce my mistakes.

✓ In addition, I also try a special technique called touch typing, typing without looking at the keyboard, which makes me familiar with the keyboard layout and reduces my mistakes.

Parallel structure requires the verb 'reduces' to agree with singular subject 'which' (which makes... and reduces...). Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'reduces' not 'reduce'.
