Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Keep the clear preference (handwriting) but make the reasons more coherent and precise. Use one topic sentence, then 1–2 supporting details with linking words. Avoid unclear phrases (e.g. “an ankle”) and grammatical errors (article use, plural/singular, verb forms).

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me remember information better and stimulates my creativity. For example, when I jot ideas in a notebook I can draw arrows and diagrams, which helps me develop concepts more freely.

提案: Start with a direct short answer (Yes/No) and then give a concise reason. Use correct word choice (e.g. “office worker”, “type” or “write emails”) and fix grammar and redundancy. Add one specific detail about device or tasks to make it concrete.

例: Yes, I type every day because I work as an office worker and spend most of my time writing emails and reports on my laptop. For instance, I usually draft client emails and update spreadsheets each morning.

提案: Give a clear time reference (e.g. in primary school) and explain briefly how you learned. Remove filler words (“I think” repeated) and correct grammar (“taught me to type without looking at the keyboard”). Add one specific detail about the learning method or feelings.

例: I learned to type in primary school when I was about eight or nine. My teacher taught us touch-typing—practicing without looking at the keys—which was difficult at first but became fun as I improved.

提案: Answer in present or past consistently and be specific about your practice methods. Use linking words (e.g. “for example”, “also”) and correct phrasing (“typing from a book without looking at the keyboard”). Mention frequency or results to show progress.

例: I improved my typing by practicing from novels and copying passages without looking at the keyboard. For example, I spent about 20 minutes a day typing text from books, which helped increase my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting to typing because writing by hand helps me remember and expand my idea and especially when I need more creativity.

✓ I prefer handwriting to typing because writing by hand helps me remember and expand my ideas, especially when I need more creativity.

Plural issue with 'idea' (should be 'ideas') and punctuation: use comma before 'especially'. 'Expand my ideas' is natural. This fits present-tense general preference.

× Writing in a paper can expand in a different way or an ankle compared with the typing.

✓ Writing on paper can expand ideas in a different way compared with typing.

Incorrect preposition 'in a paper' -> 'on paper'. 'An ankle' is wrong word choice; replaced with 'ideas'. Remove 'the' before 'typing'. Make sentence coherent and concise.

× Yes, because I work as an office I have to script all of my communication in a computer, which is absolutely is pretty boring.

✓ Yes. Because I work in an office, I have to write all of my communication on a computer, which is pretty boring.

Wrong preposition 'as an office' -> 'in an office' (work in a place). 'Script' is wrong verb choice -> 'write'. Use 'on a computer' not 'in a computer'. Remove extra 'is'. Added commas and sentence break for clarity.

× Wow, I think it's been a long time ago.

✓ Wow, I think that was a long time ago.

'It's been a long time ago' mixes present perfect with 'ago'; use past reference 'that was a long time ago' or 'it's been a long time'. Chosen past tense to match 'when did you learn' question.

× The primary school taught me to typing by without looking on the keyboard, which is at that time I thought.

✓ My primary school taught me to type without looking at the keyboard, which I thought was fun at the time.

Use 'My primary school' instead of 'The'. 'to typing' -> 'to type'. 'by without looking on the keyboard' -> 'without looking at the keyboard'. Fixed word order and clarified 'at the time' -> 'at the time' placed correctly and added 'was fun' to complete idea.

× I think. I thought it's really fun, but it's very hard.

✓ I thought it was really fun, but it was very hard.

Inconsistent tense and fragmented sentences. Use past tense 'thought' with 'was' to describe past experience. Combine fragments into one coherent sentence.

× When I was young, rather than just practice and complete tasks that the primary school teacher gave to us, I practice typing by like I look in the novel and following typing by without looking.

✓ When I was young, rather than just practicing and completing the tasks the primary school teacher gave us, I practiced typing by looking at a novel and typing without looking at the keyboard.

Verb forms: use gerunds after 'rather than' -> 'practicing and completing'. 'Gave to us' -> 'gave us'. 'Practice' tense changed to past 'practiced' to match 'When I was young'. 'By like I look in the novel and following typing by without looking' was ungrammatical; corrected to 'by looking at a novel and typing without looking at the keyboard' for clarity and correct prepositions.

× That's very helpful.

✓ That was very helpful.

Tense consistency: the context describes a past habit, so 'was' (past) matches surrounding sentences rather than present 'is'.
