Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and clear: start with a direct topic sentence stating your preference, avoid filler words (uh, well), correct grammar (e.g., 'I prefer typing to handwriting'), and give one or two specific reasons with clear linking words (because, since, as). Keep it to no more than 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting. I often type on my phone or laptop because most of my work and study are digital as a computer science student. As a result, typing is faster and more convenient for organizing notes and sharing files.

提案: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence naming the device (desktop or laptop). Reduce repetition and filler words. Provide one or two specific reasons (portability, performance) using linking phrases (because, so, therefore). Keep sentences grammatically correct and concise.

例: I use a laptop keyboard every day. Because I am a university student studying computing, I need a portable device for lectures and coding, so the laptop is more efficient and convenient for my daily work.

提案: Begin with a clear time reference (e.g., 'I learned in primary school' or 'at school'). Use concise language to describe the situation and avoid repeating phrases. Add a brief detail about what you learned or how long it took to make the answer specific.

例: I learned to type when I was at school during a basic computer class. The teacher showed us proper finger placement and common shortcuts, and by practicing a few months I became comfortable with the keyboard.

提案: Give a clear, positive answer. Avoid negative or contradictory statements. If improvement happened naturally, say so and explain briefly how (e.g., regular practice, typing exercises, using typing software). Provide one concrete method you use or could use to improve and use linking words to connect ideas.

例: I mainly improved my typing through daily practice rather than formal training. Typing for homework and coding classes gradually increased my speed, and recently I started using a free online typing tutor for 10 minutes a day to reduce errors and build accuracy.

× Oh, well, I love to, uh, to up typing on my phone or on my, on a technology device, uh, because as, as emergency and most of that I, and I'm also a computationalist radicals, uh, student.

✓ Oh, well, I love typing on my phone or on a technological device because, as a university student, I spend most of my time on electronic devices.

Pronoun and noun phrase errors: 'to up typing' is incorrect; 'typing' should follow 'love' directly. 'on my, on a technology device' is redundant and awkward; use 'on a technological device'. 'as, as emergency and most of that I' is ungrammatical; intended meaning is likely 'as a university student, I spend most of my time on electronic devices'. Replace unclear phrases with clear noun phrases and correct pronoun use. Suggestion: simplify sentences, place verbs directly after verbs of preference, and use clear noun phrases like 'university student' and 'electronic devices'.

× So the most of the, my time was spent on the electronic devices.

✓ So most of my time is spent on electronic devices.

Word order and tense: 'the most of the, my time' is redundant and incorrectly ordered; use 'most of my time'. Tense should match present habit: use present passive 'is spent' rather than past 'was spent'. Suggestion: use 'most of my time' and present simple for habitual actions.

× So I do typing over.

✓ So I type instead.

Verb form and collocation: 'do typing' is nonstandard; use the simple verb 'type'. 'over' is unnecessary. Also subject-verb agreement and concise expression improve clarity. Suggestion: use 'I type' for habitual action.

× Oh well, I drew a type of laptop keyboard every day because, as I mentioned before, I'm a university student or a computational strategical student, so I have a laptop and I usually prefer to do a uh, type on the laptop keyboard, and it is a very, uh, efficient and convenient to use.

✓ Oh well, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because, as I mentioned before, I'm a university student studying computer science, so I have a laptop and I usually prefer to type on the laptop keyboard; it is very efficient and convenient to use.

Incorrect verb 'drew' used instead of 'type' or 'use' — 'drew a type of' is wrong. Maintain present simple for habitual actions. 'computational strategical student' is incorrect phrase; replace with 'studying computer science' or 'a computer science student'. Remove unnecessary filler words and correct punctuation for clarity. Suggestion: use present simple for routines and precise academic terms.

× Oh, well, when I was in a school, uh, there was a one subject about the computer and, uh, on that subject, a teacher, usually teachers have to use a computer, how to use a computer keyboard.

✓ Oh, well, when I was at school, there was a subject about computers, and in that class the teacher taught how to use a computer keyboard.

Article and noun errors: use 'at school' not 'in a school' for general schooling. 'a one subject' is incorrect; use 'a subject' or 'one subject'. 'about the computer' should be 'about computers' or 'computer basics'. Sentence structure was fragmented; combine clauses and use simple past 'taught' for a past completed action. Suggestion: use 'at school', plural 'computers' when general, and 'taught' for past instruction.

× So, So in that time I learned that.

✓ So, at that time I learned it.

Awkward phrasing: 'in that time' is unnatural; use 'at that time'. 'learned that' is vague; use 'learned it' or specify what was learned. Maintain concise structure. Suggestion: use 'at that time' and specify the object when possible.

× Velu, uh, I didn't do anything to improve my writing uh, uh, but uh, when I'm typing uh, uh, daily, so it usually keeps getting better and better.

✓ Well, I didn't do anything specific to improve my typing, but by typing daily it has gradually improved.

Pronoun and word choice: 'Velu' likely intended 'Well'. 'my writing' should be 'my typing' to match context. Tense inconsistency: 'when I'm typing daily, so it usually keeps getting better' is awkward; use present perfect 'has improved' to show gradual improvement up to now. Remove filler words. Suggestion: use 'typing' consistently and use present perfect for gradual improvement.

× So first, but I didn't do anything to improve uh, my typing skills.

✓ At first, I didn't do anything to improve my typing skills.

Missing introductory structure and unnecessary conjunction: 'So first, but' is incorrect; choose one connector such as 'At first'. Sentence needs clear adverbial phrase and then clause. Keep tense consistent (past simple) for past habits. Suggestion: use 'At first' to indicate initial state and keep the rest simple past.

× I just, uh. He asked.

✓ I just... he asked.

Incomplete sentence: 'I just, uh.' is a fragment; context unclear. If intended to say 'I just answered when he asked', rewrite to a complete sentence. 'He asked' is disconnected and needs an object or continuation. Suggestion: complete the thought, e.g., 'I just typed when he asked me to.'
