Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and avoid repetition and hesitations. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word and an example. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g. “time-saving,” “accessible,” “communicate”). Limit to 3–4 sentences and remove filler words like “umm” and “uh.”

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s faster and more convenient. For example, I can draft emails and documents quickly on my laptop or smartphone, which saves me time during work. Also, digital files are easy to edit and share with my colleagues.

提案: Use a clear topic sentence and correct verb forms. Provide one specific detail and a linking phrase. Avoid combining too many ideas in one long clause. Replace informal phrases with precise expressions (e.g. “create Word documents”).

例: Yes, I type every day. As a marketer, I regularly send emails and create Word documents, so I use my laptop and desktop daily to prepare reports and client communications.

提案: Avoid long hesitations and correct grammar (tense and word order). Give a direct answer with a clear time reference, then add a brief supporting detail with a linking word. Remove repeated words and fillers. Use correct expressions like “in high school” and “said it would be necessary.”

例: I can’t remember the exact year, but I learned to type in high school. My teacher showed us the basics and explained that typing would be an important skill for future work, so I practiced regularly.

提案: Be specific and use precise vocabulary. Start with a clear topic sentence, then list two specific methods with linking words. Replace vague phrases like “many ways” and “type more exactly” with “accuracy” or “speed.” Correct collocations such as “online typing courses.”

例: I improve my typing in two ways. First, I practice for at least 20 minutes every day to build speed, and second, I take online typing courses to improve my accuracy and learn proper finger placement.

× There's a lot of reasons for this.

✓ There are a lot of reasons for this.

The subject 'reasons' is plural, so the correct form is 'there are' rather than 'there's' which contracts 'there is' (singular). Use 'there are' with plural nouns.

× Typing is more convenient, convenient and umm, time saving for me.

✓ Typing is more convenient and time-saving for me.

The word 'convenient' was repeated; remove repetition. 'Time saving' should be hyphenated as the compound adjective 'time-saving' before a noun. Also use 'and' to connect adjectives correctly.

× I can uh, write, type easily on my laptop or umm, smartphone.

✓ I can type easily on my laptop or my smartphone.

Redundant verbs 'write, type' create awkward structure; choose one ('type'). Include parallel possessive 'my' before 'smartphone' for clarity and correct parallelism.

× Additionally, I can type uh, to send e-mail to my, uh, partners or.

✓ Additionally, I can type to send emails to my partners.

The sentence was incomplete and had unnecessary pauses. Remove filler words and the trailing 'or'. Use plural 'emails' and omit the comma before 'partners'.

× Yes I do because I'm a marketer so I have to send emails or making words files every day so I type on my laptop and computer daily.

✓ Yes, I do, because I'm a marketer, so I have to send emails or make Word files every day; therefore I type on my laptop and computer daily.

After 'have to', use the base verb form 'make' not the gerund 'making'. 'Words files' is incorrect; use 'Word files' (Microsoft Word documents). Add commas for clarity and correct conjunctions to link clauses.

× Umm, actually, I don't remember exactly Tam, however, I think that I've learned, uh, when I, uh, I'm was at the, the high school, my teacher taught me to type and, uh, she said that this skill is very was necessary for me in the future.

✓ Actually, I don't remember exactly, but I think that I learned when I was in high school; my teacher taught me to type and said that this skill would be necessary for me in the future.

Use simple past 'learned' for a past event; 'I'm was' is incorrect—use 'I was'. Use 'in high school' (no 'the'). 'She said that this skill is very was necessary' mixes tenses; use 'said' with 'would be' to report a future-in-the-past. Remove fillers and extra articles.

× Uh, well, I improve my typing through many ways.

✓ I improve my typing in many ways.

Use the preposition 'in' with 'ways' rather than 'through many ways'. Also avoid the unnecessary filler 'Uh, well' and place adjectives properly.

× Firstly, I try to type every day at least 20 minutes to improve my typing speed.

✓ Firstly, I try to type every day for at least 20 minutes to improve my typing speed.

Use the preposition 'for' with a duration ('for at least 20 minutes'). The original omitted 'for', making the duration expression incorrect.

× Additionally, I also take online top courses to, uh, improve the way I type and type more exactly.

✓ Additionally, I also take top online courses to improve the way I type and to type more accurately.

Order 'top online courses' is more natural than 'online top courses'. Use 'accurately' (adverb) instead of 'exactly' when modifying 'type'. Remove filler words and add 'to' before the second verb for parallel structure.
