Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Cải thiện ngữ pháp và mạch logic: tránh lỗi số ít/số nhiều (ví dụ: "most task" -> "most tasks"), rút gọn câu thừa và dùng liên từ phù hợp để làm rõ ý. Nên mở đầu bằng một câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, sau đó nêu lý do chính và một khía cạnh phụ đối chiếu. Hạn chế dài quá 2–4 câu bổ sung để giữ tự nhiên.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is more convenient and much faster for most tasks. However, handwriting feels more personal and traditional, so I still write by hand occasionally for special notes or cards.

提案: Cải thiện tính súc tích và thêm liên kết rõ ràng: có thể tách ý chính và lý do bằng liên từ như "because" hoặc "so". Thêm chi tiết cụ thể (khoảng thời gian hoặc tần suất) sẽ làm câu rõ ràng hơn và thuyết phục hơn.

例: I usually type on my laptop every day because most of my work, like emails and assignments, requires it. I use my desktop occasionally for heavier tasks, and I still write on paper sometimes to keep my handwriting sharp.

提案: Cải thiện ngữ pháp, tránh lặp từ và sửa cấu trúc không hoàn chỉnh: loại bỏ tiếng lắp ("Umm"), ghép các câu rời rạc thành cấu trúc hoàn chỉnh và tránh lặp "basic". Cung cấp thêm chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ: phương pháp học, thời lượng) để tăng tính phong phú.

例: I learned to type when I was about eight in primary school. We had a basic typing class where the teacher showed us finger placement and gave exercises to help us complete homework and use laptops for study.

提案: Cải thiện cấu trúc câu bằng cách dùng liên từ và phân tách các hoạt động cụ thể; thêm chi tiết về tần suất hoặc tên công cụ sẽ làm câu cụ thể và thuyết phục hơn. Tránh câu quá dài bằng cách chia thành 2 câu tối đa.

例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly in my free time. For example, I play typing games and take online speed tests a few times a week to boost both my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer typing more than handwriting because it's more convenient and much faster for most task.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because it's more convenient and much faster for most tasks.

The noun 'task' should be plural 'tasks' because 'most' requires a plural noun. Also 'prefer A to B' is the correct collocation in English, so change 'prefer typing more than handwriting' to 'prefer typing to handwriting'. Suggestion: Use 'prefer A to B' and match 'most' with plural countable nouns (e.g., 'most tasks').

× Handwriting on the other hand feels more traditional and personal, but it takes more time and skill.

✓ Handwriting, on the other hand, feels more traditional and personal, but it takes more time and skill.

The sentence needs commas around the parenthetical phrase 'on the other hand'. This is punctuation rather than pronoun error, but fits best under incorrect use of pronouns category provided. Commas clarify the sentence structure and pause. Suggestion: Add commas around 'on the other hand' to set off the phrase: 'Handwriting, on the other hand, ...'.

× Yes, I regularly use my laptop and sometimes my desktop because I have a lot of work to do on them such as emails and assignments.

✓ Yes, I regularly use my laptop and sometimes my desktop because I have a lot of work to do on them, such as emails and assignments.

Add a comma before 'such as' to introduce examples. Also 'emails and assignments' is fine plural. The issue identified as third person singular is not present, but punctuation improves clarity. Suggestion: Place a comma before 'such as' when listing examples.

× Umm, I learned to use a keyboard in primary school around age 8. We taught basic.

✓ Umm, I learned to use a keyboard in primary school around the age of eight. We were taught the basics.

'Around age 8' needs an article: 'around the age of eight'. 'We taught basic' is ungrammatical; the correct passive is 'We were taught the basics' or active 'Our teacher taught us the basics'. 'Basics' should be plural with an article or determiner. Suggestion: Use 'the age of eight' and 'were taught the basics' or 'our teacher taught us the basics'.

× We were taught basic typing skills to help us complete homework and use laptops for studying.

✓ We were taught basic typing skills to help us complete homework and use laptops for studying.

This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense. No change needed. Keep past simple passive 'were taught' to describe past instruction. Suggestion: None.

× I usually practice typing in my free time and whenever I have a short break I play alphabet and typing games and take online speed tests to improve my typing speed and accuracy.

✓ I usually practice typing in my free time, and whenever I have a short break I play alphabet and typing games and take online speed tests to improve my typing speed and accuracy.

Add a comma before 'and whenever' to separate clauses for readability. The use of '-ing' forms 'practice typing' and 'typing games' is correct. The issue assigned is verb + -ing form but sentence mainly needs a comma. Suggestion: Use commas to separate clauses; gerunds like 'typing' are correct here.
