Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Сделайте ответ более естественным и устраните незначительные грамматические ошибки; сократите длину и свяжите идеи переходным словом. Уточните фразы вроде «white notes» (возможно, вы имели в виду «handwritten notes») и исправьте согласование (например, «a tool that helps»). Полезно дать одно конкретное примечание о ситуации, когда вы предпочитаете письмо от руки.

例: I prefer typing because it’s faster and more convenient for writing emails and long documents, and tools often help correct errors. However, I still take handwritten notes sometimes because the physical act helps me remember information better, especially when I’m away from my device.

提案: Упростите и корректно сформулируйте предложения; исправьте артикли и число (например, «on a portable device» или «on portable devices», «emails and reports»). Добавьте связку для логичности и одно конкретное примечание о типе задач.

例: Yes, I type on my laptop every day because most of my work and communication are done on a portable device. For example, I use it to write emails and reports, which is convenient since I can work from different locations.

提案: Ответ уже очень хороший; можно сделать его ещё более естественным, немного сократив длину и добавив связку при упоминании продолжения привычки. Поддерживайте простоту и точность времен.

例: I learned to type when I was about ten at primary school. In an introductory computer class my teacher taught us touch-typing with simple exercises and games, which improved my speed and accuracy. Since then I’ve typed daily for homework and later for work, so it became an automatic skill.

提案: Хорошая структура, но исправьте небольшой артикльный и стилистический недочёт («the fatigue» → «fatigue»). Добавьте связку и одну конкретную деталь о частоте или достижениях (например, сколько в словах в минуту вы улучшили), чтобы сделать ответ более конкретным.

例: I practise regularly with online typing programs to improve speed and accuracy, usually doing short daily drills and a timed test to track progress. I also focus on proper finger placement and posture to reduce errors and fatigue, and I sometimes play typing games to keep practice enjoyable.

× I prefer typing because it's faster and more convenient for drafting emails and long documents, especially with a tool that help correct errors.

✓ I prefer typing because it's faster and more convenient for drafting emails and long documents, especially with a tool that helps correct errors.

Subject-verb agreement error: 'a tool' is singular so the verb must be 'helps' (third person singular). Use 'helps' instead of 'help' to match the singular subject. Suggestion: check that verbs agree with their subjects, especially with third-person singular nouns.

× However, I still have white notes occasionally because the physical act of writing helps me remember information better, and useful when paper is more accessible than a device.

✓ However, I still take handwritten notes occasionally because the physical act of writing helps me remember information better, and it is useful when paper is more accessible than a device.

Sentence fragments and word choice: 'white notes' is likely a misspelling of 'write' or wrong choice; 'useful' lacks a subject and verb. Correct to 'take handwritten notes' and add 'it is' to complete the clause. Suggestion: ensure each clause has a subject and finite verb and choose correct word forms.

× Yes, I type on my laptop every day because most of my work and the communication are done on portable device.

✓ Yes, I type on my laptop every day because most of my work and the communication are done on portable devices.

Article and count noun error: 'device' should be plural 'devices' because 'most of my work and the communication' implies using more than one device or the general category; no article is needed with plural. Suggestion: use plural nouns for general statements and check articles with countable nouns.

× For example, I use it for writing e-mail and the report, which is convenient since I can work from different locations.

✓ For example, I use it to write e-mails and reports, which is convenient since I can work from different locations.

Incorrect verb + preposition and article use: use 'use it to write' (verb infinitive) rather than 'for writing' here for natural phrasing; 'e-mail' should be plural 'e-mails' and 'the report' should be plural 'reports' for general activities. Suggestion: use infinitive after 'use it to' and use plural nouns for general references.

× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 10 at primary school.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 10 at primary school.

No correction needed. Sentence correctly uses past tense to describe a completed action in the past. Suggestion: none.

× In an introductory computer class, my teacher showed us touch typing techniques and how to practice them with simple exercises and games, which helped me build both speed and accuracy.

✓ In an introductory computer class, my teacher showed us touch-typing techniques and how to practice them with simple exercises and games, which helped me build both speed and accuracy.

Hyphenation/compound noun: 'touch typing' is commonly written as 'touch-typing' as a compound modifier; grammar otherwise correct. Suggestion: use hyphenation for compound modifiers when used adjectivally.

× Since then, I have typed every day for homework and occasionally for work, so it has become an automatic skill.

✓ Since then, I have typed every day for homework and occasionally for work, so it has become an automatic skill.

No correction needed. Present perfect correctly indicates continuing action from past to present. Suggestion: none.

× I practice regularly using online typing programs to build speed and accuracy, often doing short daily drills and a timed test to track progress.

✓ I practice regularly using online typing programs to build speed and accuracy, often doing short daily drills and timed tests to track progress.

Article/number agreement: 'a timed test' suggests only one test; better to use plural 'timed tests' to match 'short daily drills' and general practice. Suggestion: keep number consistency for repeated activities.

× I also focus on proper finger placement and posture, which reduces errors and the fatigue, and occasionally play typing games to make practice enjoyable and motivating.

✓ I also focus on proper finger placement and posture, which reduces errors and fatigue, and I occasionally play typing games to make practice enjoyable and motivating.

Article usage and sentence structure: 'the fatigue' should be 'fatigue' without the definite article. Also the clause 'and occasionally play' lacks subject; add 'I' for clarity. Suggestion: remove unnecessary 'the' before uncountable nouns and ensure each coordinated verb has an explicit subject when needed.
