Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammatical accuracy and fluency: remove fillers (uh), correct verb forms, and make sentences concise. Add one specific reason or example to enrich content. Use linking words if adding details.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting. I have worked on computers for over 20 years, so I’m very comfortable typing. Moreover, typing is faster and makes it easier to edit my work, which saves me time when preparing reports.

提案: Fix grammar and avoid repetition: remove fillers, use correct verb forms and possessive determiners, and avoid repeating phrases. Add a brief reason or context to strengthen the answer.

例: I always type on my laptop. My company provides me with a laptop, so I’ve become used to its keyboard layout and portability when I work remotely.

提案: Correct article use and tense, remove fillers, and improve coherence. Provide a clear timeline and one specific detail about lessons or practice to make the answer more informative.

例: I learned to type when I was in elementary school. The school offered computer lessons, and regular practice during class helped me gradually improve my speed and accuracy.

提案: Use correct tense and clearer phrasing, remove fillers, and explain how the application helped with a specific example or result. Use linking words to connect ideas.

例: I improved my typing by using a popular computer application that recorded my speed and tracked my errors. As a result, I could focus on common mistakes and gradually increased my words-per-minute score.

× I've working uh, on the computer or for over 20 years, so I'm familiar with typing down handwriting and uh, I find typing to be more convenient and faster to write.

✓ I've been working on computers for over 20 years, so I'm more familiar with typing than handwriting, and I find typing more convenient and faster.

Original uses 'I've working' which is incorrect; the present perfect continuous requires 'have been' + present participle (have been working). Also 'on the computer or' is awkward — use plural 'computers'. 'Familiar with typing down handwriting' is incorrect comparison: use 'more familiar with typing than handwriting'. 'Faster to write' is awkward; use 'faster'. Suggestion: use 'I have been working on computers for over 20 years, so I'm more familiar with typing than handwriting.'

× My company uh, provide me with laptop computer, so I'm familiar with typing on laptop my laptop.

✓ My company provided me with a laptop computer, so I'm familiar with typing on my laptop.

Problems: verb tense and article/word order. 'Provide' should match past context → 'provided' (past tense). 'Laptop computer' needs an article 'a'. Word order 'typing on laptop my laptop' is incorrect; use 'typing on my laptop'. Also ensure subject-verb agreement when applicable. Suggestion: 'My company provided me with a laptop computer, so I'm familiar with typing on my laptop.'

× I learned how to type when I was a elementary school student.

✓ I learned how to type when I was an elementary school student.

Before a noun beginning with a vowel sound use 'an' not 'a'. 'Elementary' begins with a vowel sound, so use 'an elementary school student'. Suggestion: 'I learned how to type when I was an elementary school student.'

× The school had computer uh lessons at that time and I care I was able to improve my typing skills.

✓ The school had computer lessons at that time, and I was able to improve my typing skills.

Original contains extraneous word 'care' and disfluent filler 'uh'. Remove 'care' which makes the sentence ungrammatical. Also add a comma before 'and' to join clauses. Suggestion: 'The school had computer lessons at that time, and I was able to improve my typing skills.'

× I used the computer application uh, which was popular in Japan at that time.

✓ I used a computer application that was popular in Japan at that time.

Minor issues: article 'a' before 'computer application' and prefer 'that' instead of 'which' for restrictive clauses in speech. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: 'I used a computer application that was popular in Japan at that time.'

× Dial to application can record my speed and my uh, typing errors, so I was able to improve my typing skills easier.

✓ The application could record my speed and my typing errors, so I was able to improve my typing skills more easily.

Original 'Dial to application' seems incorrect; interpret as 'the application'. Use past tense 'could' or 'was able to' for past ability. 'My uh, typing errors' remove filler and keep 'my typing errors'. 'Improve my typing skills easier' is incorrect adverb form; use 'more easily' to modify the verb 'improve'. Suggestion: 'The application could record my speed and my typing errors, so I was able to improve my typing skills more easily.'
