Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Reduce hesitations and redundancy; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Use richer vocabulary (e.g., “formal documents,” “personal notes”) and avoid repeating filler words.

例: I usually prefer typing for formal tasks, because it’s faster and easier to edit. However, for personal notes or creative writing I prefer handwriting since it feels more personal and helps me remember ideas better.

提案: Answer directly with one clear statement, then add a brief supporting detail. Remove repetitions and fix grammar (use present simple).

例: I usually type on a desktop keyboard at work because my office computer is a desktop. Occasionally I use my laptop at home when I need to work remotely or travel.

提案: Provide a concise direct answer with one clear time reference and one specific reason or detail. Eliminate fillers and clarify phrasing (e.g., “I wanted to learn to type faster”).

例: I learned to type when I was 14 because I was very interested in computers and wanted to write much faster. I practiced regularly using online typing exercises until my speed improved.

提案: Structure the answer: state the main method first, then give a specific example or result. Avoid repeated fillers and correct small grammar (e.g., “watching videos about proper typing”). Mention frequency or progress if possible.

例: I improve my typing mainly by practicing touch-typing: I copy texts and try not to look at the keyboard. I also watch tutorial videos on proper finger placement and do online speed exercises twice a week, which helped me reduce errors and increase speed.

× Sometimes I prefer to type it, uh, instead of writing it, Especially when I want to uh, send a letter or send or fill in, umm, uh, formal document, Then I would go with the umm, typing.

✓ Sometimes I prefer to type instead of writing, especially when I want to send a letter or fill in a formal document. Then I would choose typing.

The original has article errors and awkward phrasing. 'formal document' needs the indefinite article 'a' because it refers to one nonspecific document (Article errors, ID 22). Also remove unnecessary pronoun 'it' after 'type' when speaking generally, and change 'go with the typing' to 'choose typing' for natural phrasing. Suggestions: include appropriate articles ('a'/'the'), simplify redundant words, and use natural verbs ('choose').

× Otherwise, I would prefer to write it by, by my hand.

✓ Otherwise, I would prefer to write it by hand.

Redundant 'by' and awkward 'my hand' construction: 'by hand' is the correct idiomatic expression. This is a sentence structure/usage issue related to subject-verb agreement and idiomatic phrasing (ID 27). Suggestion: use fixed expressions like 'by hand' without possessive pronoun.

× I do both on on a desktop or my laptop, but usually will be on my desktop since I'm working.

✓ I use both a desktop and my laptop, but I usually use my desktop at work.

The original repeats 'on' and uses incorrect verb forms and prepositions. 'I do both on on a desktop or my laptop' is ungrammatical; 'use' is the correct verb for devices (Verb in the present participle/form issue, ID 10). Also 'usually will be on my desktop' is awkward for habitual action; use simple present 'usually use my desktop'. Suggestion: use 'use' for devices and simple present for routines.

× So when I go when I get to work I will type on my keyboard in my desk.

✓ So when I get to work I type on the keyboard at my desk.

Preposition errors: use 'at my desk' not 'in my desk', and 'type on the keyboard' is more natural than 'type on my keyboard in my desk'. Also change future 'will type' to simple present 'type' for habitual action (ID 11). Suggestion: use 'at' for location and simple present for routines.

× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was 14 years and, uh, during that time, uh, I was so passionate about, umm, using computers, uh, how to write so fast.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was 14 years old, and during that time I was very passionate about using computers and learning how to type quickly.

The sentence needs 'years old' after an age and clearer verb choice. 'How to write so fast' should be 'learning how to type quickly'. This is a past tense and word choice issue (ID 5). Suggestion: use correct age expression '14 years old' and keep past tense consistent, replace informal 'so' with 'very' and use 'type' rather than 'write' for keyboarding.

× So it was like, umm, practice to type.

✓ So it was like practice to learn to type.

'Practice to type' is awkward; use 'practice to learn to type' or 'a way to practice typing'. This is a quantifier/word choice and sentence structure issue (ID 14). Suggestion: rephrase to 'practice to learn to type' or 'practice typing'.

× Umm, I used to uh, have like a text and then, umm, I just tried to type it without looking at the, the keyboard and then I was like watching some videos on how to, uh, proper type, uh, on keyboard.

✓ I used to have a text and try to type it without looking at the keyboard, and I watched videos on how to type properly on a keyboard.

Multiple tense and word order problems: 'used to have like a text and then I just tried' should be simplified to 'used to have a text and try to type it' for habitual past. 'I was like watching' should be 'I watched' (past simple). 'proper type' should be 'type properly'. Also add 'a' before 'keyboard'. These are past tense and adverb placement issues (IDs 5 and 20). Suggestion: keep consistent past tense for past habits and place adverbs ('properly') after verbs.
