Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler (uh), fix articles and prepositions, and use one or two specific supporting reasons linked with connectors (e.g., because / so).

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me concentrate and remember what I write. For example, when I take notes by hand I tend to process ideas more deeply, so I recall facts better during study sessions.

提案: Respond directly with a single clear sentence then add a concise reason using a linking word. Remove hesitation and repeated words; correct phrasing (e.g., 'desktop computer').

例: I usually type on a desktop computer every day because I’ve been preparing for the IELTS exam and need to practice typing longer essays.

提案: Use a clear topic sentence then add specific supporting details with linking words. Remove filler and correct collocations (e.g., 'primary school', 'typing skills').

例: I learned to type in primary school. We had a weekly computer class where we practiced typing with games, which made learning fun and helped me improve my typing skills quickly.

提案: Give a direct opening sentence, then provide two specific routines with linking words and a result. Avoid fillers and general statements like 'It helps me'—explain how it helps.

例: I improve my typing by practicing every day. For instance, I write short essays on my laptop and chat with friends online, which increases my speed and accuracy over time.

× I prefer handwriting because it helps me concentrate to the information and helps me remember the the thing that I'm writing.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it helps me concentrate on the information and helps me remember the things that I'm writing.

Use 'concentrate on' not 'concentrate to'. Also 'the the' is repetition; change to 'the' or remove. 'Thing' is vague and should be plural 'things' to match general meaning. Suggestion: use 'concentrate on' and choose specific nouns (e.g., 'what I'm writing').

× It also, uh, makes me more calm and comfortable because I'm not really good at typing.

✓ It also makes me calmer and more comfortable because I'm not very good at typing.

Use comparative adjective 'calmer' rather than adverb 'more calm'. 'Really good' is informal; 'very good' is more appropriate. Remove filler 'uh' in formal answer. Suggestion: use correct comparative forms and avoid fillers.

× Umm. Even though I like to write with my hands, I usually type on the desktop desktop every day.

✓ Even though I like to write by hand, I usually type on a desktop every day.

Remove filler 'Umm' and fix phrasing: 'write with my hands' is unnatural; use 'write by hand'. Duplicate 'desktop' removed. Suggestion: keep sentences concise and use natural collocations ('desktop computer' or 'desktop').

× Because recently I was preparing for the IELTS exam, so I had to practice for the typing.

✓ Recently I was preparing for the IELTS exam, so I had to practice typing.

Do not begin a sentence with 'Because' followed by a separate clause; combine or remove 'so'. 'Practice for the typing' is incorrect: use 'practice typing' (verb+ing). Suggestion: 'Recently I was preparing for the IELTS exam, so I had to practice typing.'

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in my primary school.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school.

Use 'in primary school' without 'my' for natural phrasing in English. Tense 'learned' is correct. Suggestion: omit unnecessary possessive before school level.

× Uh, we had a weekly computer class that taught us how to type and we enjoyed the typing game and it helped me enhance the typing skills.

✓ We had a weekly computer class that taught us how to type; we enjoyed the typing games and they helped me improve my typing skills.

Remove filler 'Uh'. Use plural 'typing games' if more than one, and 'they' to match plural. 'Enhance the typing skills' is awkward: use 'improve my typing skills'. Also prefer semicolon or separate sentences for clarity. Suggestion: match noun numbers and use natural collocations ('improve typing skills').

× I improve my typing skills by practicing everyday Umm.

✓ I improve my typing skills by practicing every day.

'Every day' (two words) is correct for frequency; 'everyday' as one word is adjective meaning commonplace. Remove filler 'Umm'. Suggestion: use 'every day' for adverbial frequency.

× These days I usually write a short essay on my laptop or chat with my friends online.

✓ These days I usually write short essays on my laptop or chat with my friends online.

Use plural 'short essays' to indicate habitual activity. Original sentence structure is acceptable but plural is more natural. Suggestion: keep plurality consistent for habitual actions.

× It helps me.

✓ Those activities help me improve my typing skills.

'It helps me' is vague; clarify the subject ('those activities') and state what they help with to complete the idea. Suggestion: be specific about what 'it' refers to and what help is provided.
