Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. “I prefer typing.”), then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Correct grammar (e.g. “high pace of life,” “people are connected,” “tool”), and avoid redundancy. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

例: I prefer typing. Mainly because life is fast-paced now, and people often communicate by email and messaging, so typing is quicker and more convenient.

提案: Give a direct topic sentence and a clear reason using linking words. Fix small errors and avoid unnecessary words (e.g. “P”). Use present simple for routines. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

例: I usually type on a laptop every day because I go to school and need something portable. Also, I can check emails and do homework on the go.

提案: Use correct tense and a clear structure: a topic sentence stating when, then one supporting detail. Avoid awkward phrases (e.g. “how to type it”). Use linking words like “because” or “when.”

例: I learned to type when I was five years old because I had IT classes at school. The teachers taught us how to place our fingers and practice typing regularly.

提案: Answer directly and coherently: start with a topic sentence describing your method, then explain how it helps using linking words. Correct tense and hypothetical language. Give a concise example of practice methods.

例: I improved my typing by practicing regularly and by using techniques from piano lessons. Because I learned piano as a child, finger coordination and rhythm made it easier to type accurately when I practiced daily with typing exercises.

× I definitely prefer typing since nowadays and high paces of life people connected each other by e-mail so I think it will be a good toll to communicate with others.

✓ I definitely prefer typing because nowadays, with the fast pace of life, people connect with each other by e-mail, so I think it is a good tool to communicate with others.

Errors: incorrect conjunction 'since' used for reason with awkward sentence structure; missing preposition 'with' and wrong adjective/adverb forms 'high paces' and verb tense 'connected'; spelling 'toll' should be 'tool'; and awkward clause linking. Suggestion: use 'because' for clear reason, add commas to separate phrases, use 'fast pace' (singular) or 'fast pace of life', use present simple 'connect' for habitual action, and 'tool' spelling. Ensure commas around introductory phrases.

× I usually type on laptop P keyboard since I will go to school every day and sometimes I will check some emails so the laptop is portable.

✓ I usually type on my laptop's keyboard since I go to school every day and sometimes check my emails, so the laptop is portable.

Errors: missing possessive pronoun 'my' and possessive form for 'laptop keyboard'; overuse of future 'will' instead of present simple for habitual actions; missing article and unnecessary capitalization 'P'; and missing comma. Suggestion: use 'my laptop's keyboard', use present simple for routines ('go', 'check'), and include commas for clarity.

× I've learned it since I was five years old because at that time I'll usually have the IT classes.

✓ I learned it when I was five years old because at that time I usually had IT classes.

Errors: incorrect use of present perfect 'I've learned' with a specific past time; wrong use of 'since' with finished time expression; incorrect modal/future 'I'll' used instead of past 'I' for habitual past. Suggestion: use simple past 'learned' for specific past events, use 'when' or 'at age five', and use past simple 'had' for habitual actions in the past.

× So the teachers always taught us how to use the keyboard and how to type it.

✓ So the teachers always taught us how to use the keyboard and how to type.

Errors: redundant object 'it' after 'type' and slight awkwardness. Suggestion: remove unnecessary pronoun 'it' because 'type' is intransitive here when referring to typing on a keyboard; keep past tense 'taught' consistent.

× How? Since I learned piano when I was three years old.

✓ How do I improve my typing? I think it is because I learned to play the piano when I was three years old.

Errors: fragment 'How?' does not answer the question and 'learned piano' needs infinitive 'to play' for clarity. Suggestion: provide a full sentence that answers the question, use 'learned to play the piano' and connect cause and effect with 'because'.

× So one day I've just found that it will be easier to type words.

✓ One day I realized that it was easier to type words.

Errors: present perfect 'I've just found' with a past time 'one day' is inappropriate; future 'will be' should be past 'was'. Suggestion: use simple past 'realized' and 'was' to describe a past realization.

× If you just imagine that you were playing a piano, it will be much easier.

✓ If you imagine playing the piano, it will be much easier.

Errors: conditional mismatch and unnecessary past subjunctive 'were' for general advice; article 'a' before 'piano' is unnecessary when referring to the instrument in general. Suggestion: use zero/first conditional for general advice: 'If you imagine playing the piano, it will be much easier.' Use present simple in 'if' clause for general truths.
