Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and direct. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., “I prefer both, depending on the situation.”), then give one or two specific supporting reasons using linking words (for example, because/so). Avoid filler phrases and repetition.

例: I prefer both, depending on the situation. For example, I use handwriting for study notes because writing by hand helps me remember facts better, whereas I type when I need to jot down ideas quickly or clear my mind, since typing is faster and easier to edit.

提案: Answer directly and eliminate hesitations. Begin with a clear statement (Yes/No), then briefly explain frequency and give a specific example. Use linking words like however or but to connect ideas and avoid vague phrases like “writing my minds.”

例: No, I don't use a desktop or laptop every day. However, I do use a laptop keyboard occasionally when I play games or type ideas and notes, usually a few times a week.

提案: Organize the answer with a clear time reference and a concise reason. Avoid tense errors and fragmented sentences. Use one or two supporting details and correct grammar (e.g., ’I learned to type when I was 8 or 9’).

例: I learned to type when I was about eight or nine years old. I taught myself because I played video games on my mother's laptop and spent a lot of time using the keyboard, which helped me become comfortable typing.

提案: Give a clear, practical method and a specific routine. Start with a concise topic sentence, then explain the method and include measurable details (how long, what to type, tools to use). Avoid redundant phrases like “in my opinion” repeated.

例: I improve my typing by practicing every day. Specifically, I type for 20 minutes each morning, writing short articles or journal entries on my tablet; this routine builds speed and accuracy and helps me get comfortable with different vocabulary.

× I use both ways for different situations.

✓ I use both methods for different situations.

The word 'ways' is not incorrect grammatically but 'methods' or 'both' without 'ways' is more natural when referring to typing and handwriting. This is a word choice/pronoun reference style issue; using a clearer noun avoids ambiguity. Suggestion: use 'methods', 'forms', or 'both' plus the specific items (typing and handwriting).

× So there are.

✓ So I use both of them in a lot of different writing situations.

The original fragment 'So there are.' is an incomplete sentence (missing subject and verb). This is a sentence structure error. To correct, supply a subject and verb and connect logically to the previous idea. Suggestion: combine with the following sentence or replace with a full clause as shown.

× I use both of them in a lot of different aspects of writing.

✓ I use both in many different types of writing.

The phrase 'both of them' is acceptable but slightly redundant; 'both' alone is more concise. 'Aspects of writing' is awkward; 'types of writing' or 'writing situations' is clearer. This is a pronoun/word choice clarity issue. Suggestion: prefer concise phrasing: 'I use both in many different types of writing.'

× I don't use my laptop or any desktop every day, so mostly no.

✓ I don't use my laptop or any desktop every day, so mostly no, I don't.

The sentence is understandable but awkwardly phrased. The pronoun and negation placement feels incomplete. Adding 'I don't' at the end clarifies the negative reply. This is a pronoun/structure clarity issue. Suggestion: rephrase: 'I don't use my laptop or a desktop every day, so usually no.'

× But whenever I'm playing uh or I'm writing my minds and ideas on a laptop I use keyboard like.

✓ But whenever I'm playing or writing my thoughts and ideas on a laptop, I use the keyboard.

Multiple issues: filler 'uh' and 'use keyboard like' create an incomplete and ungrammatical structure. 'My minds' is incorrect plural pronoun use; 'my thoughts' is correct. This is a sentence structure and pronoun error. Suggestion: remove fillers, use 'thoughts', include article 'the' before 'keyboard'.

× Other than that, no, not daily use.

✓ Other than that, no, I don't use it daily.

'Not daily use' is ungrammatical in English; the auxiliary 'do' is required for negation and verb form. This is a quantifier/auxiliary structure issue. Suggestion: use 'I don't use it daily' or 'I don't use it every day.'

× I used to type on a keyboard since I was very young because I used to play video games on my mom's laptop and I got mom's laptop overload and broken.

✓ I have been typing on a keyboard since I was very young because I used to play video games on my mom's laptop, which eventually overloaded and broke.

The original mixes 'used to' with 'since' incorrectly. 'Since' requires present perfect ('have been typing') to indicate continuity from past to present. 'I got mom's laptop overload and broken' is ungrammatical; use a relative clause 'which eventually overloaded and broke.' This involves incorrect verb form/past participle and tense choice. Suggestion: use present perfect continuous for actions continuing to present and correct passive/active phrasing for the laptop breaking.

× So since then when I was younger like 8 or 9 years, I used to write and type on a keyboard.

✓ So from then on, when I was about eight or nine, I wrote and typed on a keyboard.

Using 'used to' is acceptable but 'from then on' with 'wrote and typed' clarifies the habitual past. The phrase 'like 8 or 9 years' is awkward; use 'about eight or nine.' This is a past tense/habitual action phrasing issue. Suggestion: use clear past tense for past habits or 'used to' consistently: 'I used to write and type on a keyboard.'

× Learn how to use it by myself.

✓ I learned how to use it by myself.

The original is a sentence fragment missing the subject and incorrect verb form. Use past tense 'learned' and include the subject 'I' to make a complete sentence. This is a sentence structure and past tense error. Suggestion: always include subject and correct tense: 'I learned how to use it by myself.'

× In my opinion, in my experience, I think the best way to improve my typing on anyone's typing is by typing at least one article each day.

✓ In my opinion and from my experience, I think the best way to improve anyone's typing is to type at least one short article each day.

Phrases 'improve my typing on anyone's typing' are confusing and ungrammatical; mixing first-person and general advice causes error. Use 'improve anyone's typing' for general advice and 'to type' after 'is'. This is a quantifier/structure and pronoun misuse. Suggestion: stick to one perspective and use infinitive 'to type' for purpose: 'the best way ... is to type at least one short article each day.'

× Like any idea that pop up pops up in your mind.

✓ Like any idea that pops up in your mind.

Redundant wording 'pop up pops up' is incorrect; correct verb form for third person singular is 'pops up.' This is an incorrect verb form/word order error. Suggestion: use 'pops up' and avoid duplication.

× You can type it in notes in iPad and it will really help to improve.

✓ You can type it in the Notes app on your iPad, and it will really help improve your typing.

The original misses articles and capitalization: 'notes in iPad' should be 'the Notes app on your iPad'. Also 'help to improve' is wordy; 'help improve' is more natural. This is a sentence structure/article error. Suggestion: include the definite article and proper noun capitalization and simplify 'help improve'.
