Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and correct grammar; begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition and pronunciation mistakes (e.g., 'taping' → 'typing').

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s faster and neater. For example, typed notes are easier to read and search through later, and they reduce mistakes caused by messy handwriting.

提案: Start with a direct answer then give specific details connected with linking words. Correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'everyday' → 'every day', 'mark down' → 'write down'). Keep to two or three sentences.

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I take my laptop to university. For example, I write down lecture notes and key points from the lecturer so I can review them later.

提案: Give a clear timeframe and one or two specific reasons. Correct grammar (e.g., 'tape' → 'type', tense consistency) and avoid repeating the same idea. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so'.

例: I learned to type in high school because many assignments had to be completed on computers. As a result, it was necessary to improve my speed and accuracy.

提案: Give a direct method plus a specific example and use linking words. Fix grammar and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'take faster' → 'type faster'). Keep to two sentences maximum for clarity.

例: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice, such as doing online typing exercises for 15 minutes daily. This helps me become familiar with the keyboard and type faster while thinking about content.

× I prefer taping more than handwriting because I think typing is more convenient and fast.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because I think typing is more convenient and faster.

The verb should be 'typing' not 'taping' (spelling). Use the construction 'prefer X to Y' rather than 'prefer X more than Y'. Also maintain parallel comparative adjectives: 'more convenient and faster' or better 'more convenient and faster' to compare two qualities consistently. Suggestions: use correct spelling 'typing', use 'prefer A to B', and keep parallel comparatives.

× When I also typing is clear then handwriting because they will not be unclean due to the handwriting style.

✓ When my typing is clearer than my handwriting, it does not look messy because of my handwriting style.

The clause had incorrect verb forms and unclear subject references. Use 'typing is clearer than handwriting' (adjective comparative 'clearer') and correct subject-verb agreement with 'it does not look messy'. Avoid vague 'they' when referring to singular 'handwriting'. Suggestions: use comparative adjective 'clearer', match subjects and verbs, and replace 'they' with the correct singular pronoun or the noun.

× I type on laptop keyboard everyday because when I go into the university and have my lectures I usually bring the laptop with me and add them some notes.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because when I go to the university and have lectures I usually bring my laptop with me and add some notes to it.

Missing articles: 'a laptop keyboard' and two-word adverb 'every day'. Use 'go to the university' (not 'into'), and 'lectures' without 'my' is acceptable but 'have lectures' is fine. 'Bring the laptop' should be 'bring my laptop' for clarity; 'add them some notes' is incorrect pronoun order—use 'add some notes to it' or 'take some notes'. Suggestions: include articles where needed, separate 'every day', and use correct object pronouns and prepositions.

× So I use the laptop keyboard to mark down the lecture notes and also some important points that talk about the lecturer during the lessons.

✓ So I use the laptop keyboard to write down the lecture notes and also some important points that the lecturer mentions during the lessons.

'Mark down' is less common; 'write down' is clearer. 'That talk about the lecturer' is incorrect relative clause: the points do not talk about the lecturer; the lecturer mentions them. Use proper verb agreement and clear relative clause. Suggestions: use 'write down' and 'that the lecturer mentions' for clarity.

× I learnt how to tape on a keyboard starting from my high school.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard starting in high school.

Spelling and verb choice: 'tape' should be 'type'. In American English 'learned' is common; 'learnt' is British acceptable. Use 'starting in high school' rather than 'starting from my high school'. Suggestions: correct verb 'type', and use natural preposition 'in high school'.

× During my high school, I need to complete more assignments by the computers.

✓ During high school, I needed to complete many assignments on the computer.

Use past tense 'needed' to match the time reference. 'During my high school' is awkward—use 'during high school'. 'By the computers' is incorrect preposition; use 'on the computer' or 'using computers'. Also 'more assignments' is vague; 'many assignments' fits better. Suggestions: match tense to past period and use 'on the computer' or 'using computers'.

× So it's it's a requirement.

✓ So it was a requirement.

Repeated 'it's it's' is an error and tense should be past to match context. Use single 'it was a requirement'. Suggestions: remove duplication and use consistent past tense.

× It was a requirement for me to learn how to type faster.

✓ It was a requirement for me to learn to type faster.

The infinitive 'learn to type' is preferred over 'learn how to type' but both are acceptable; this correction tightens phrasing. Tense is correct (past). Suggestions: use 'learn to type' for conciseness.

× I think practice is the most important key to improve my typing so that I can take faster and be more familiar with keyboards and also I can learn how to think and type at the same time so that I can increase my typing speed.

✓ I think practice is the most important factor to improve my typing so that I can type faster and become more familiar with the keyboard; I can also learn to think and type at the same time to increase my typing speed.

Several issues: 'most important key' is awkward—use 'most important factor' or 'key'. 'Take faster' is incorrect; use 'type faster'. 'Be more familiar with keyboards' should be 'become more familiar with the keyboard' or 'keyboards'. Use infinitive 'learn to think and type' instead of 'learn how to think and type' for conciseness. Break into clearer clauses and keep consistent verb forms. Suggestions: use 'type faster', 'become familiar', and clearer clause division.
