Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and clear: start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and filler words (uh, I think, whatever). Use correct grammar (e.g., "handwriting improves") and varied vocabulary (e.g., "express ideas more clearly"). Limit to 2–4 sentences.

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me remember ideas and improves my writing skills. For example, when I write by hand I tend to think more carefully about word choice, which makes my notes clearer and easier to review later.

提案: Answer directly and concisely: give the device and a brief specific reason using linking words. Avoid repeating the same idea and stop mid-sentence. Use plural/singular correctly (e.g., "emails" not "a mail"). Keep it to 1–3 sentences.

例: I use a laptop keyboard every day because my job requires writing emails and preparing reports. As a result, I type for several hours each day, which has made me fairly fast and accurate.

提案: Give a clear time reference, then add one concise supporting detail with linking words. Avoid vague phrases like "top of the table" and incorrect tense. Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "in early childhood" -> "when I was a child"). Keep 2–3 sentences.

例: I learned to type when I was a child because my father owned a laptop and taught me basic typing skills. Since then, I practiced regularly and my speed and accuracy have improved significantly.

提案: Structure your answer: state one or two clear methods you use to improve, with specific examples and linking words. Avoid vagueness and rhetorical questions. Correct grammar ("as much as I can"). Use concrete activities (e.g., online practice, touch‑typing exercises, timed tests). Limit to 2–4 sentences.

例: I improve my typing by practicing with online typing tests and using touch‑typing exercises for 20 minutes a day. Additionally, I focus on typing full sentences and organizing my ideas before I type so my writing is both faster and clearer.

× Generally, I prefer handwriting over the typing because handwriting improve both the writing your writing skill and handwriting.

✓ Generally, I prefer handwriting to typing because handwriting improves both your writing skills and handwriting.

The definite article 'the' before 'typing' is unnecessary; use 'typing' without 'the'. 'Prefer A to B' is the correct structure. 'Handwriting improve' is wrong subject-verb agreement; singular 'handwriting' (or the implied skill) requires 'improves'. 'the writing your writing skill' is redundant and word order is incorrect; change to 'your writing skills'. Suggestion: use 'prefer A to B' and ensure subject and verb agree: 'handwriting improves'. Use: 'Generally, I prefer handwriting to typing because handwriting improves your writing skills.'

× I think by and I think you can express your thoughts, uh more meaningfully so that reader reader can understand your opinion and whatever.

✓ I think you can express your thoughts more meaningfully so that the reader can understand your opinion.

Redundant phrases 'I think by and I think' should be simplified. 'reader reader' is repetition and missing the definite article; 'the reader' is required. Word order: place 'more meaningfully' after 'thoughts'. Remove filler 'and whatever'. Suggestion: speak concisely and include articles for specific nouns: 'the reader'. Use: 'I think you can express your thoughts more meaningfully so that the reader can understand your opinion.'

× I type on laptop keyboard every day because it's part of my job.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it's part of my job.

When referring to a single, non-specific laptop keyboard, the indefinite article 'a' is required: 'a laptop keyboard'. Also 'on laptop keyboard' lacks article. Suggestion: use 'a' before singular, countable nouns when not specific. Use: 'I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it's part of my job.'

× Every day I have to send a mail and I have to prepare reports regarding my jobs due to this activity.

✓ Every day I have to send emails and prepare reports related to my job because of these activities.

'Send a mail' is unnatural in this context; plural 'emails' fits daily routine. 'Regarding my jobs' is unclear and uses plural 'jobs' incorrectly; 'my job' (singular) is better if referring to one occupation. 'Due to this activity' is awkward; 'because of these activities' or 'because of this work' is clearer. Suggestion: use natural collocations ('send emails') and match singular/plural correctly. Use: 'Every day I have to send emails and prepare reports related to my job because of these activities.'

× I learned typing on keyboard in my early childhood.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard in my early childhood.

Verb pattern: after 'learn' use 'learned to + base verb' or 'learned typing' colloquially but 'learned to type' is standard. Also need the article 'a' before 'keyboard'. 'In my early childhood' is acceptable but 'when I was a child' or 'in early childhood' might be more natural. Suggestion: use 'learned to type on a keyboard' or 'learned typing on a keyboard' with correct article. Use: 'I learned to type on a keyboard when I was a child.'

× Basically my father has a laptop, so I used to type on my father's laptop and also my father has also taught me typing.

✓ My father had a laptop, so I used to type on it, and he also taught me how to type.

Tense consistency: 'has a laptop' (present) conflicts with 'used to type' (past habitual); use past 'had' if describing childhood. Repetition 'my father's laptop' twice is redundant; use 'it'. 'Has also taught me typing' is awkward—use 'taught me how to type'. Suggestion: keep tenses consistent and avoid repetition. Use: 'My father had a laptop, so I used to type on it, and he also taught me how to type.'

× By the times I have improved my typing skill very much and today it's, you know, top of the table.

✓ Over time I have improved my typing skills a lot, and today they are, you know, among the best.

'By the times' is incorrect; use 'over time' or 'over the years'. 'I have improved' is fine but 'my typing skill' should be plural 'skills' and 'very much' is informal; use 'a lot'. 'Top of the table' is an idiom for ranking but awkward here—'among the best' is clearer. Also 'it's' unclear (what is 'it'); use 'they are' referring to 'skills'. Suggestion: use 'over time' and ensure pronoun references are clear. Use: 'Over time I have improved my typing skills a lot, and today they are among the best.'

× I am improving my typing by practicing as much I can.

✓ I improve my typing by practicing as much as I can.

Present progressive 'I am improving' is acceptable, but 'practicing as much I can' misses 'as': should be 'as much as I can'. For routines, simple present 'I improve' or 'I am improving' both possible; choose simple present for habitual action. Suggestion: include 'as' in the correlative expression 'as much as'. Use: 'I improve my typing by practicing as much as I can.'

× Typing is just not to type words.

✓ Typing is not just about typing words.

Original word order and preposition use is incorrect. Use the structure 'not just about' to express that something involves more than the obvious action. Suggestion: use 'about' after 'just' to indicate the broader meaning. Use: 'Typing is not just about typing words.'

× It also includes connecting the ideas, connecting the sender since how to? How will you express your thoughts that all things, uh can matter in the typing?

✓ It also includes connecting ideas and the sender—how you will express your thoughts; all of these things matter in typing.

The original contains broken clauses and unclear connectors. 'Connecting the ideas' should be 'connecting ideas'. 'Connecting the sender' is unclear but can be interpreted as linking the writer (sender) and the reader; clarify. Remove filler 'since how to?' and restructure into clear clauses. Suggestion: simplify into coherent sentences: 'It also includes connecting ideas and the sender; how you express your thoughts all matter in typing.' Use: 'It also includes connecting ideas and the sender: how you express your thoughts—all of these things matter in typing.'
