Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and directly state your preference, then give clear, specific reasons. Avoid filler words (uh, um) and unclear statements (e.g. "I was born in 19"). Use one or two supporting details and a linking phrase to make your answer coherent.

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because I find it more comfortable and personal. For example, writing by hand helps me remember information better and I can write anywhere without needing a device.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence (I mainly use a laptop) and give two specific reasons with a linking word (because, for example). Reduce hesitations and correct word order errors ("lie on the sofa" not "lie on the sofa and I use it just put it").

例: I mainly use a laptop every day because it is portable and convenient. For example, I can lie on the sofa and put the laptop on my lap, which makes it easy to work anywhere.

提案: Answer the question directly with a clear time reference (e.g., "a few years ago") and explain briefly why you still prefer handwriting, using coherent linking words. Avoid confusing or contradictory phrases.

例: I learned to type a few years ago when I started university. However, I still prefer handwriting because I find it faster for note-taking and it helps me remember things better.

提案: Give a direct method for improvement and a specific routine or result. Use linking words and avoid vague phrases like "I don't have any idea." Be specific about practice duration and techniques (online exercises, accuracy focus).

例: I improve my typing by practicing for 10–15 minutes every day using online typing exercises. For example, I focus on accuracy first and then increase speed, and I track my progress each week to see improvement.

× I prefer handwriting rather than typing, uh, because, umm, I was born, uh, in 19.

✓ I prefer handwriting to typing because I was born in 19.

The phrase 'prefer X rather than Y' is less appropriate than 'prefer X to Y' for stating a preference. Also, extra hesitations were removed. Use 'prefer handwriting to typing' for correct conjunction and comparison structure. Note: if 'in 19' was meant to be a year it should be 'in 19XX' or 'in 19..' but I kept the original phrasing.

× So handwriting is perfect for me and useful, uh, typing.

✓ So handwriting is perfect for me and typing is not useful.

The original sentence is unbalanced and unclear. Parataxis ('and useful, typing') mixes ideas. Separate clauses with a clear subject and verb: 'handwriting is perfect for me and typing is not useful.' This fixes sentence structure and makes the contrast explicit.

× I can't say that typing is helpful because, uh, I have some obstacles while I'm typing, so just with fingers.

✓ I don't find typing helpful because I have some difficulties when I type with my fingers.

The original mixes idioms and has awkward phrasing ('just with fingers'). Use 'I don't find typing helpful' and 'difficulties when I type with my fingers' for natural English and correct sentence structure.

× Just get out of mostly I use laptops because it's comfortable where I can, uh, I can use it where I go, uh, even I, for example, lie on the sofa and I use it just put it on my lap and it's much more convenient for me, uh, to type on this way.

✓ Mostly I use laptops because they are comfortable and portable; for example, I can lie on the sofa, put a laptop on my lap, and type more conveniently.

The original contains fragments and redundancy ('Just get out of mostly'). Reorganize into a coherent sentence with subject-verb agreement ('laptops... they are') and correct prepositions ('on my lap') and adverb placement ('more conveniently').

× I learned it's a few years ago.

✓ I learned it a few years ago.

The original includes an unnecessary contraction 'it's' which is incorrect here. Use past tense simple 'I learned it a few years ago.' to indicate a completed action in the past.

× I'm not a child from that age who loves typing rather than handwriting.

✓ I was not a child at that age who preferred typing to handwriting.

Tense and comparison phrasing were incorrect. Use past tense 'was not' to match 'a few years ago' and 'preferred typing to handwriting' for correct comparative structure.

× That's why I prefer handwriting so.

✓ That's why I prefer handwriting.

The final 'so' is redundant. The sentence is clearer and grammatically correct without it.

× I don't have any idea, but I still think that to do a lot of practice because we know that practice makes perfect.

✓ I don't know, but I still think that practicing a lot helps because practice makes perfect.

'I don't have any idea' is unnatural here; use 'I don't know.' 'To do a lot of practice' is an incorrect construction; use the gerund 'practicing a lot.' This corrects verb form and quantifier usage.

× Uh, that's why a lot of typing, uh, just maybe 10 minutes a day or 15 minutes a day improves my, uh, my typing on the.

✓ That's why a lot of typing, maybe 10 or 15 minutes a day, improves my typing.

Remove filler and finish the sentence. Use 'a lot of typing' as a noun phrase and place time expressions ('10 or 15 minutes a day') correctly. The original ended abruptly and had misplaced words; this correction completes the clause and places the adverbial phrase properly.
