Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and avoid hesitation sounds (uh). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., editable, legible) and correct small grammar errors (e.g., "when we write" not "whenever we are writing").

例: I prefer typing because it is much easier to edit and format text quickly. In addition, typed text is more legible than handwriting, which can be hard to read. For these reasons, typing saves time and reduces mistakes.

提案: Remove hesitations and tighten sentences. Begin with a clear statement, then add a specific example and a linking word. Use correct collocations ("do all my office work" not "do my all the office works").

例: I usually type on a laptop keyboard because laptops are portable and convenient. For example, when I travel for a short trip I can carry my laptop and finish emails and reports on the go.

提案: Give a concise direct answer then add a specific detail. Correct phrasing ("in third grade" or "when I was in Class 3"). Avoid repetition ("that time" used repeatedly).

例: I learned to type in third grade when our school introduced computer lessons. During that course I practiced basic keys and simple typing exercises, which helped me become comfortable with the keyboard.

提案: Answer in present tense if you still use the method, or clearly state it was in the past. Be specific about the techniques you used to improve (e.g., online typing tutors, daily practice, posture). Remove filler words and correct grammar ("I was continuously typing" or "I typed continuously").

例: I improved my typing in college by practicing regularly while preparing presentations, worksheets and assignments. In addition, I used online typing exercises for 15–20 minutes daily, which significantly increased my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer typing because it is easy to edit uh, whenever we are typing anything.

✓ I prefer typing because it is easy to edit whenever we type anything.

Use simple present tense for habitual actions; replace 'we are typing' (present continuous) with 'we type' (present simple) to match general preference and habitual meaning. Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary comma.

× But why uh, whenever we are writing?

✓ But when we write, it is harder to edit.

Original is a fragment and unclear. Convert to a full sentence that contrasts handwriting with typing. Use present simple 'we write' for habitual action.

× So it is tough uh to understand someone's writing and also whenever there is any mistake, uh is done, so it is difficult to correct it.

✓ So it is hard to read someone's handwriting, and when a mistake is made, it is difficult to correct.

Use clear present simple verbs for general statements: 'is hard' and 'is made'. Fix passive clause 'whenever there is any mistake, uh is done' to 'when a mistake is made'. Remove fillers.

× I prefer, uh, type on a laptop keyboard because it is easy to carry it anywhere as it is a portable device.

✓ I prefer to type on a laptop keyboard because it is easy to carry anywhere since it is a portable device.

After 'prefer' use either 'to' + verb or gerund consistently; here 'prefer to type' is correct. Remove unnecessary pronoun 'it' after 'carry' and use 'since' for reason.

× So, uh, whenever I'm going anywhere or, uh, a short trip, then I carry my laptop with me and there I can do my all the office works.

✓ When I go on a short trip, I carry my laptop with me and can do all my office work there.

Use simple present for habitual actions: 'I go', 'I carry'. Change 'my all the office works' to 'all my office work' (uncountable). Remove fillers and 'there I can' repositioned for natural word order.

× When I was in class 3rd that time, that was the first time when computer subject was introduced to me.

✓ When I was in third grade, that was the first time the computer subject was introduced to me.

Use 'third grade' for natural phrasing and remove redundant 'that time'. The passive 'was introduced to me' is acceptable; keep past tense consistently.

× So that time I learned a lot of parts of the computer and during that period I learned how to operate a keyboard and how to operate a computer.

✓ At that time I learned many parts of the computer and how to operate the keyboard and the computer.

Avoid repetition 'during that period' and duplicate 'learned how to operate'. Use 'many' for countable 'parts' and combine related ideas for clarity.

× When I was in college, that time I have to prepare a lot of PPTS and, uh, worksheets also.

✓ When I was in college, I had to prepare a lot of PowerPoint presentations and worksheets.

Use past tense 'had to' for obligation in past. Expand PPTS to 'PowerPoint presentations' and remove filler 'uh' and 'also' redundancy.

× So, uh, and assignments.

✓ I also had to prepare assignments.

Original fragment. Make a full sentence with past tense 'had to prepare' to match previous clause and clarify meaning.

× So, uh, at that time I continuously typing and uh, with the practicing, it is improved a lot.

✓ So at that time I was typing continuously, and with practice my typing improved a lot.

Use past continuous 'was typing' for ongoing past action. Change 'with the practicing' to 'with practice' and 'it is improved' to 'my typing improved' to use correct past tense and clarify subject.
