Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Clarify and correct contradictions, use a clear topic sentence, limit length to 3–4 sentences, and give one specific reason with an example. Avoid confusing phrases like "as much as I can't" and tighten grammar (e.g., "not used to handwriting"). Use a linking word when adding the contrast with handwriting (e.g., "however").

例: I prefer typing because it is faster and lets me add emojis and formatting to show tone. For example, when I message friends I can use emojis or bold text to show excitement. However, I find handwriting harder now because I rarely practice it, so my handwriting is slow and messy.

提案: Begin with a single clear sentence answering the question, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid repeating 'yes' and redundant phrasing. Use a linking word to connect the reason (e.g., "because" or "so").

例: I type on a desktop keyboard every day because I work from an office. For instance, I write several emails to clients each day, so I use the desktop for typing long messages and documents.

提案: Keep the answer concise and avoid unnecessary repetition. Start with a direct time reference, then add one specific detail linking typing and learning English. Use a linking word like "because" or "so" for clarity.

例: I learned to type when I was in elementary school, around age seven. At that time I had just started learning English, so typing practice helped me get used to the keyboard and basic English words.

提案: Provide a clear strategy instead of saying 'I'm not sure.' Start with a short direct statement about a method you use or plan to use, then give a concrete example or frequency. Mention specific practice techniques (typing tests, lessons, timed practice) and use a linking word to add detail.

例: I improve my typing by practicing with online typing lessons and timed tests. For example, I use a typing website for 15 minutes each day to increase speed and accuracy, and I focus on exercises for the keys I get wrong.

× I prefer texting because it's much easier, faster, and I can show my feelings as much as I can't.

✓ I prefer texting because it's much easier and faster, and I can show my feelings better.

The phrase 'as much as I can't' is ungrammatical and unclear. The student likely meant to compare ability to show feelings, so use 'better' (an adverb) to modify 'show'. Also removed redundant comma and 'much' before 'faster' to improve naturalness.

× Handwriting is a little bit difficult for me these days because I usually just type so I'm not really used to hand.

✓ Handwriting is a little difficult for me these days because I usually just type, so I'm not really used to handwriting.

The phrase 'used to hand' is incorrect; the correct noun is 'handwriting'. Also 'a little bit difficult' can be simplified to 'a little difficult'. Added a comma before 'so' to join the clauses properly.

× Yes, I type on a desktop every day because I work.

✓ Yes, I type on a desktop every day because I work there.

The original sentence is grammatically possible but vague: 'because I work' is incomplete about where. Adding 'there' clarifies that typing on the desktop is related to working at that location.

× Yes, I usually write the emails to my clients every day.

✓ Yes, I usually write emails to my clients every day.

The definite article 'the' before 'emails' is unnecessary when speaking about emails in general. Removing 'the' makes the sentence natural.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in elementary school.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in elementary school.

This sentence is correct. It uses the past tense appropriately to describe a past learning event; no change needed.

× When I was in elementary school, I didn't even know English at the time.

✓ When I was in elementary school, I didn't know English.

'Didn't even know English at the time' is redundant because 'when I was in elementary school' already sets the time. Simplifying to 'I didn't know English' is clearer and avoids repetition.

× I just started learning English and then that was the time I started typing.

✓ I had just started learning English, and that was when I started typing.

Use past perfect 'had started' to show that learning English began before or around the same time as starting to type. 'Then that was the time' is awkward; 'that was when' is clearer and more natural.

× I improve typing with what can I? I'm not sure.

✓ I'm not sure how I can improve my typing.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and missing possessive 'my'. Rephrase to a clear question structure 'how I can improve my typing' and move 'I'm not sure' to a statement form. Alternatively, 'I don't know how I can improve my typing' is also correct.
