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 ('To be honest'), correct article use and comparative phrasing, and add one brief supporting detail with a linking word. For example, say you prefer handwriting, give a specific reason and one short example.

例: I prefer handwriting because I remember things better than when I type. For instance, when I take notes by hand during lectures, I retain key points more effectively, so I review them less often.

提案: Make a clear, direct topic sentence and avoid long, awkward clauses. Use simple linking words (but, now) and correct phrasing ('most of the time'). Keep it to two sentences at most and remove unnecessary details (job quitting) unless relevant.

例: I mostly use a laptop keyboard every day now. I used to use a desktop at work, but since I stopped that job, my laptop has become my main device for typing.

提案: Avoid hesitations and tense errors. Give a clear time frame with correct past tense and reduce fillers ('To be honest', 'uh'). Use linking words (but, however) only if needed. Provide a concise supporting detail about where or how you learned it.

例: I learned to type at school when I was in about seventh or eighth grade. It was part of an IT class where we practiced keyboarding and basic computer skills.

提案: Give a clear method and specific example. Use correct grammar (practice, reasons) and link ideas with words like 'so' or 'by'. Mention a particular activity you do to improve (online exercises, daily tasks) to make the answer concrete.

例: I improve my typing mainly through regular use at work and by doing short online typing exercises. For example, I practice for 10 minutes a day on a typing website to increase my speed and accuracy.

× To be honest, I prefer handwriting because I remember everything much easier than the typing with the keyboard.

✓ To be honest, I prefer handwriting because I remember everything much more easily than when typing on a keyboard.

Incorrect preposition 'with' after 'typing' and wrong adjective/adverb form 'easier' for the comparison. Use 'on a keyboard' for typing instrument and 'more easily' (adverb) to modify 'remember'. Also add 'when' to compare the action of typing.

× I used to type on a desktop, but despite the fact that I quit my job, now I'm mostly using my laptop every day, so probably the laptop keyboard is what I'm doing on the most time right now.

✓ I used to type on a desktop, but since I quit my job, I mostly use my laptop every day, so I probably spend most of my time using the laptop keyboard now.

Verb forms are awkward and inconsistent. 'Despite the fact that' is replaced with 'since' to show cause. 'I'm mostly using' should be simple present 'I mostly use' for habitual action. 'What I'm doing on the most time' is incorrect structure and preposition; use 'spend most of my time using'. Also keep 'now' at end for clarity.

× To be honest it is really hard to remember exactly when I learned it, but since childhood, uh, in school I learn IT computers uh, so it was my one of the subject. I guess it was 7th or 8th grade.

✓ To be honest, it is really hard to remember exactly when I learned it, but since childhood, in school I studied IT, so it was one of my subjects. I guess it was in 7th or 8th grade.

Mix of tenses and wrong verb form 'learn' instead of past 'studied' for past habitual activity. 'My one of the subject' is incorrect word order and article use; correct is 'one of my subjects'. Add preposition 'in' before grade. Use commas to improve flow.

× Actually, I'm not sitting and improving it, but in a practice in my job it's necessary to use it.

✓ Actually, I'm not sitting down and practising it, but in practice at my job it's necessary to use it.

'Sitting and improving' is unnatural; 'sitting down and practising' uses correct phrasal verb and noun. 'In a practice in my job' is wrong preposition and article use; use 'in practice at my job' to indicate on-the-job use. Also use British spelling 'practising' or US 'practicing' consistently.

× So exercising and experience is the main reasons why I improve my skills in typing.

✓ So practice and experience are the main reasons why I have improved my typing skills.

'Exercising and experience' is awkward: use 'practice and experience'. Subject-verb agreement error: plural subject requires 'are', not 'is'. Also 'main reasons' fits plural; 'improve' changed to 'have improved' to reflect ongoing improvement resulting from past and current practice, and 'skills in typing' corrected to 'typing skills' for natural word order.
