Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid contradicting yourself and unnecessary hesitation.

例: I generally prefer typing because it is faster and easier to edit. For example, I type daily emails at work and use templates for invitations, while I sometimes handwrite personal notes when I want them to feel more personal.

提案: Answer directly then give a brief reason with clear linking words. Correct small grammar errors (e.g., use "at home I use"), and be specific about tasks that suit each device.

例: I mainly use a desktop at work because I need a larger screen for patient records and medical software. At home I use a laptop for chatting and social media because it is more portable.

提案: Give a clearer time reference and avoid rambling. Start with an approximate time (e.g., in childhood or early 2000s), then briefly explain how you learned using linking words like "so" or "because."

例: I can't remember the exact year, but I learned to type myself in the early 2000s when personal computers became common. Because I needed to use them for school and later for work, I practised regularly and improved over time.

提案: Structure the answer: state the main method first (self-study), then give specific actions you took to improve (practice, online programs, posture). Reduce hesitations and repetition.

例: I improved my typing mainly by teaching myself because my job requires fast and accurate entry of patients' health records. For instance, I practised daily using typing websites, learned proper finger placement, and timed myself to increase speed and accuracy.

× I prefer both as I depend on the situation as well.

✓ I prefer both because it depends on the situation.

Subject-verb agreement and sentence structure: 'I depend on the situation' is awkward here; the preference depends on the situation, so use 'it depends' to match the subject. Also replace 'as' with 'because' for clearer causal relation.

× For writing invitation letters for my family and friends, I prefer typing.

✓ When writing invitation letters for my family and friends, I prefer to type.

Incorrect use of verb form/adverb: Use 'to type' or 'typing' consistently. 'For writing' is less natural than 'When writing'; 'I prefer to type' is the more natural collocation.

× I prefer handwriting, sorry.

✓ I prefer handwriting, sorry.

No grammatical change required; sentence is acceptable as a short reply. (Kept for completeness.)

× And then for my work and for daily emails, I prefer typing.

✓ For my work and daily emails, I prefer to type.

Sentence structure and verb form: Use 'prefer to type' and place time/usage phrases before the main verb for clarity. Removed 'And then' which is unnecessary.

× At my work I use desktop because I need a longer screen to do work and at my home are to use a regular chats or social media I use laptop.

✓ At work I use a desktop because I need a larger screen to do my work, and at home, for regular chats or social media, I use a laptop.

Multiple issues: subject-verb agreement and sentence structure. Use articles 'a desktop' and 'a laptop'; 'larger screen' is more natural than 'longer screen'; 'do my work' specifies ownership; restructure clause for 'at home, for regular chats or social media'.

× Keyboard. Honestly, I really don't remember that when did I learn?

✓ Honestly, I really don't remember when I learned.

Sentence structure and question form: The embedded question should use statement word order 'when I learned', not the inverted question form 'when did I learn'. Also remove the fragment 'Keyboard.' which is unnecessary.

× But according to my observation that the time of the innovation started like the computers came to market and cell phones at the time I learned by myself.

✓ But from my observation, I learned by myself when computers and cell phones started coming to market.

Present tense and sentence structure: 'according to my observation' better as 'from my observation'; reorder clause to place time expression with verb. Use past tense 'learned' to match the past time reference and simplify phrasing.

× Improve my typing by my own I taught myself is because of my work, I need to take care of my patients as well, along with my, umm, health records as well.

✓ I improved my typing on my own; I taught myself because of my work: I need to take care of my patients and manage their health records.

Sentence structure and verb tense: Use past tense 'improved' and 'taught' for completed learning. Replace 'by my own' with 'on my own'. Break into two clauses for clarity and remove redundant 'as well'.

× Uh, the patient's health records.

✓ I need to manage the patients' health records.

Use of apostrophe/possessive and plural: If referring to multiple patients, use 'patients'' or rephrase 'the patients' health records'. 'Manage' is a clearer verb than the fragment 'the patient's health records'.

× So that's why I learned the fast typing techniques and then use correct typing techniques.

✓ So that's why I learned fast typing techniques and use correct typing methods.

Tense consistency and word choice: Use past tense 'learned' for the initial action and present tense 'use' for the ongoing habit. Use 'typing methods' or 'techniques' consistently and remove redundant 'then'.
