Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and directly addresses the question, but it is slightly repetitive and could be made more natural by varying sentence structures and adding a specific example or brief reason for convenience. Try to avoid repeating the same idea twice ("prefer typing" and "That's why I prefer typing"). Use a linking word to connect reasons and include one concrete detail (e.g., speed, editing, sharing).

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it's faster and makes editing easy; for instance, I can quickly correct and share emails or notes on my phone. Also, digital documents are easier to organize and search, which saves me time.

提案: Good direct response, but sentences are a bit awkward and wordy. Be concise and use a clear topic sentence, then support with a specific detail. Avoid redundant phrasing like "type it in the computer" and use linking words for contrast (e.g., "but", "however").

例: Not usually — I rarely use a desktop or laptop because my work doesn’t require it. However, I do type every day on my phone and iPad for messages and quick administrative tasks.

提案: The answer is relevant and gives a clear time reference, but phrasing is slightly unnatural. Improve fluency by using concise expressions and one or two specific supporting details (e.g., age, frequency of lessons). Avoid vague phrases like "in my young age."

例: I learned to type in primary school, around age eight. We had regular lessons with timed typing exercises in both Chinese and English, which helped me develop speed early on.

提案: You list relevant methods but grammar and word choice need polishing. Be specific about which exercises or tutorials you use, and use linking words to organize ideas. Replace vague or incorrect terms (e.g., "computering skills") with accurate phrases like "computer skills" or "typing speed." Keep sentences concise.

例: I improve my typing by doing timed online exercises, such as 10-minute speed tests that focus on accuracy. I also watch YouTube tutorials for proper finger placement and practice drills to increase my words-per-minute.

× I prefer typing over handwriting because typing is very convenient.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because typing is very convenient.

Use the correct prepositional phrase: 'prefer A to B' is standard English rather than 'prefer A over B.' Replace 'over' with 'to' to follow collocation rules.

× I can use any electronic devices to deliver my message in a short period of time.

✓ I can use any electronic device to deliver my message in a short period of time.

When using 'any' with a countable singular idea, use the singular noun 'device' to mean 'any one device.' Alternatively, use plural without 'any' ('use electronic devices') or 'any' + singular as in 'any device.' Keep number consistent with meaning.

× Moreover, handwriting requires a pen and a paper in order to deliver your message.

✓ Moreover, handwriting requires a pen and paper in order to deliver your message.

Do not use the indefinite article before uncountable or paired nouns like 'paper' when listing tools; 'a paper' would mean a specific sheet or an academic article. Use 'paper' without 'a.'

× No, I do not type on desktop or laptop keyboard daily because my job and my daily life do not require me to type it in the computer every day.

✓ No, I do not type on a desktop or laptop keyboard daily because my job and daily life do not require me to type on a computer every day.

Use articles before singular countable nouns: 'a desktop or laptop keyboard.' Also use the correct preposition and phrase: 'type on a computer' rather than 'type it in the computer.' Remove redundant 'my' in 'my daily life.'

× However, I do type every day through my phone and my iPad due to my daily administrative.

✓ However, I do type every day on my phone and my iPad because of my daily administrative tasks.

Use the correct preposition 'on' for devices. 'Due to' requires a noun phrase; 'my daily administrative' is incomplete. Use 'because of' + 'administrative tasks' to make a clear noun phrase. Also include 'tasks' to complete meaning.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard in my primary school days.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard during my primary school days.

Use the preposition 'during' to indicate a time period. 'In my primary school days' is understandable but 'during' is more natural with 'days'.

× I remember having a lesson teaching us how to type in Chinese as well as English, and there are several trainings and practices.

✓ I remember having a lesson that taught us how to type in Chinese as well as English, and there were several training sessions and practice exercises.

Maintain past tense ('remember' refers to past event) so use 'taught' and 'were.' 'Trainings' is nonstandard; use 'training sessions' and 'practice exercises' for countable activities.

× We have to finish it before the end of the lesson, so I learned it in my young age.

✓ We had to finish it before the end of the lesson, so I learned it at a young age.

Match tense to past context: 'had to' and 'learned.' Use the idiomatic phrase 'at a young age' rather than 'in my young age.'

× There are several ways to improve my typing, such as practicing online exercise that need to finish within a period of time, which can train up our computering skills.

✓ There are several ways to improve typing, such as practicing online exercises that need to be completed within a set time, which can train our computer skills.

Use plural 'exercises' and the passive 'need to be completed.' 'Computering' is incorrect; use 'computer skills.' 'Train up' is informal—use 'train' or 'improve.' Also avoid mixing 'my' and 'our'—choose consistently; here 'typing'/generalized 'our' is used.

× Moreover, we can learn it through YouTube such as there are lots of online tutorials that teach us how to type in the fast speed.

✓ Moreover, we can learn it through YouTube, for example, because there are lots of online tutorials that teach us how to type at high speed.

Replace vague 'such as' structure with 'for example' and correct phrase 'at high speed' rather than 'in the fast speed.' 'Learn it' is acceptable but 'learn to type' is more direct; context preserved.
