Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and clear: state your preference directly, avoid hesitations and redundant phrases, and give one specific reason with a brief example. Use linking words to connect ideas.

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because I find it more convenient and it helps me remember information better. For example, since primary school I have always taken notes by hand, so it feels natural and faster for quick ideas.

提案: Avoid repetition and improve sentence structure: answer directly, give one or two specific tasks you do on the laptop, and link the reason to your daily routine.

例: Yes, I type on a laptop every day. As a university student I use it for writing essays, preparing PowerPoint presentations, and researching for assignments, so I need it constantly.

提案: Give a concise, complete answer with a clear timeframe and one supporting detail. Remove hesitations and finish the thought with a result or ongoing impact.

例: I learned to type in fifth grade during computer class. It was very helpful because it improved my speed and I still use those skills for typing essays and notes now.

提案: Be specific about methods and avoid negative phrasing. Use clear linking words to show process or frequency, and give a concrete example of practice you do.

例: I improve my typing by practicing daily. For instance, I take lecture notes on my laptop and use online typing exercises for 15 minutes each evening to increase speed and accuracy.

× I do prefer, uh, handwriting, uh, type because, uh, handwriting is the most convenient and easier way to take notes.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it is the most convenient and easiest way to take notes.

Conjunction and coordination issues: 'I do prefer, handwriting, type' is awkward and contains extraneous words. 'Do' is unnecessary for simple present preference. Use parallel structure: 'most convenient and easiest' rather than 'most convenient and easier' to compare correctly (use superlative + comparative mismatch). Also include a subject and verb for the second clause: 'it is'. Replace informal fillers and ensure correct adjective form 'easiest' to match 'most'.

× And, uh, since when I was, uh, in primary school, it's kind of, uh, the routine.

✓ Since I was in primary school, it has kind of been a routine.

Tense and aspect: 'since when I was' is redundant; use 'since I was'. Because the action started in the past and continues, use present perfect ('has been'). 'The routine' is odd; 'a routine' is better. Remove filler words and reorder for natural English.

× Yes I do. I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm the university student so I have a lot of things to do in my to do in my laptop, such as a PowerPoint presentation or.

✓ Yes, I do. I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm a university student, so I have a lot to do on my laptop, such as preparing PowerPoint presentations.

Article and noun form: use 'a university student' not 'the university student' (article error). Remove duplicated phrase 'to do in my to do in my laptop'. Preposition: use 'on my laptop' not 'in'. Use plural 'presentations' or 'a PowerPoint presentation' and complete the example; 'preparing' clarifies the activity. Also add commas for clarity.

× When I was in fifth grade student, I, uh, learned to, I learned to type on a keyboard on my, uh, computer skills, uh, subjects.

✓ When I was in fifth grade, I learned to type on a keyboard in my computer skills class.

Redundancy and word order: 'fifth grade student' is incorrect; say 'in fifth grade'. Remove doubled 'I learned to'. Preposition: say 'in my computer skills class' rather than 'on my computer skills subjects'. Streamline to a natural sentence.

× And that was really helpful and I still.

✓ And that was really helpful, and I still use those skills.

Incomplete sentence: 'and I still' lacks an object/complement. Complete the idea by adding what continues ('use those skills'). Use comma before conjunction for clarity.

× Even though my typing isn't enough, but I try to improve my this skill day by day.

✓ Although my typing isn't good enough, I try to improve this skill day by day.

Conjunction error: 'Even though' and 'but' should not be used together; choose one ('although'). Word order: 'my this skill' is incorrect; use 'this skill' or 'my typing'. Adverb placement: 'day by day' is fine at the end. Also 'isn't good enough' is a clearer expression than 'isn't enough'.

× For example, I try to uh, try to take notes in my computer, uh, during the lecture.

✓ For example, I try to take notes on my computer during lectures.

Verb redundancy: 'try to try to' is repetitive; use a single 'try to'. Preposition: 'on my computer' not 'in my computer'. 'During the lecture' can be pluralized to 'during lectures' for general habit. Remove fillers for clarity.
