Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid redundancy (e.g., "for me personally"). Correct verb forms and noun usage (platforms, type, easy to edit).

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster and much easier to edit. For example, when I make a mistake I can quickly delete or change text, and documents can be shared online for collaboration.

提案: Use correct tense and singular/plural forms, and combine sentences smoothly. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific detail using a linking word (e.g., "because" or "so"). Avoid repeating "personally."

例: I use a laptop keyboard every day because it is more convenient for my lifestyle. Since I often work in different places, I only need to carry the laptop, which makes working on tasks quicker and more efficient.

提案: Give a clear, concise answer with correct past tense and smoother linking. Replace awkward phrases ("I did learn") with simple past. Add one specific detail about the practice and its lasting benefit.

例: I learned to type when I was about 12 in my first computer class at school. We practised with typing games, and because of that I developed speed and accuracy that have helped me with school assignments ever since.

提案: Be precise and correct finger names ("pinky" only once). Use linking words (e.g., "for example," "as a result") and keep within 3–4 sentences. Mention measurable improvement if possible (speed or accuracy).

例: I improve my typing using an online typing game that teaches correct finger placement and offers step-by-step exercises. For example, after several weeks of practice my speed increased and I now make fewer mistakes when typing assignments.

× For me personally, I prefer typing because nowadays due to technology advancement, there are a lot of platform that I can typing on it and it really easily to edit when I need to edit some of the characters more than the handwriting.

✓ For me personally, I prefer typing because nowadays, due to technological advancements, there are a lot of platforms that I can type on and it is really easy to edit characters compared with handwriting.

Errors: 'a lot of platform' uses incorrect quantifier + singular noun; should be 'a lot of platforms' (plural). 'technology advancement' should be 'technological advancements' (adjective + plural noun). 'that I can typing on it' mixes infinitive/gerund and redundant pronoun; correct is 'that I can type on' (base verb). 'it really easily to edit' uses adverb/adjective incorrectly; correct is 'it is really easy to edit'. Suggestion: use plural nouns with 'a lot of', use adjective form 'technological', use base verb after modal/auxiliary or relative clause, and keep sentence concise by removing redundant pronouns.

× Since I often need to work in a different places, I only have to carry the laptop rather than a separate keyboard, which make computing easier and faster.

✓ Since I often need to work in different places, I only have to carry the laptop rather than a separate keyboard, which makes computing easier and faster.

Errors: 'work in a different places' mixes singular determiner with plural noun; correct is 'different places' (remove 'a'). 'which make' has subject 'which' referring to 'carrying the laptop' or 'the laptop', requiring third person singular 'makes'. Suggestion: ensure determiners match noun number and use correct verb form for third person singular agreement.

× I personally typed on a laptop keyboard every day because it's very convenient for my lifestyle.

✓ I personally type on a laptop keyboard every day because it's very convenient for my lifestyle.

Error: 'typed' is past tense but context asks about current habit 'every day'; use present simple 'type'. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions.

× I did learn how to type on the keyboard first when I was around 12 years old during my first computer class in primary school.

✓ I first learned how to type on the keyboard when I was around 12 years old during my first computer class in primary school.

Errors: 'did learn' is unnecessary emphatic past; simple past 'learned' is natural. Word order improved by placing 'first' before 'learned'. Suggestion: use simple past for completed actions and place adverbs in natural positions.

× It was great, but we practice with typing game and that skill has been useful for schoolwork ever since.

✓ It was great, but we practiced with typing games, and that skill has been useful for schoolwork ever since.

Errors: 'we practice' is present but context is past; use past 'we practiced'. 'typing game' should be plural 'typing games' or 'a typing game' depending on meaning; plural fits general. Missing comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: match tense and use correct number for countable nouns.

× I improve my typing skills with a small typing game created by a developer.

✓ I improve my typing skills with a small typing game created by a developer.

No grammatical change needed; sentence is acceptable. Suggestion: keep as is. (No error matching the provided list.)

× The game focuses on correct finger placement, especially for the pink, pinky and other fingers, and gives step by step exercise to follow.

✓ The game focuses on correct finger placement, especially for the ring, pinky and other fingers, and gives step-by-step exercises to follow.

Errors: 'pink' is incorrect finger name; likely 'ring' or 'middle' needed along with 'pinky'. 'step by step' needs hyphens as a compound adjective before a noun: 'step-by-step'. 'exercise' should be plural 'exercises' to match 'gives'. Suggestion: use correct finger names, hyphenate compound adjectives, and ensure noun number agreement.

× After practising it, I can type faster and make fewer mistakes.

✓ After practising it, I can type faster and make fewer mistakes.

Sentence is grammatically correct. 'Practising' is a correct present participle after 'after'. Suggestion: keep as is; if using American English, consider spelling 'practicing'.
