Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and avoid vague phrases like "stuff like that". Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason for each preference, using a linking word to contrast (e.g., "however"). Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences and add one specific example.

例: I prefer typing for long pieces because it is faster and easier to edit. However, I handwrite when doing practice exam questions to get used to the exam’s handwriting format and time constraints. For example, I handwrite past papers to simulate exam conditions.

提案: Open with a direct answer and avoid redundant phrases like "whatever my teacher says." Add one concrete detail about how the laptop helps (e.g., note organization or software) and use a linking word for clarity.

例: I type on a laptop every day. At my school, students must bring MacBooks, so I use mine to take organized notes and record important points quickly. Because of this, I can review my notes more easily after class.

提案: Correct grammar and remove repetition ("play how to type"). Begin with a clear time phrase, then give one specific reason or activity from the class and a linking word. Use concrete verbs and avoid "stuff."

例: I learned to type in grade four during a mandatory coding class. In that class we practiced touch-typing exercises and timed drills, which helped me increase speed and accuracy.

提案: Start with a direct statement about your main method, then explain briefly how it helps and add one concrete result (speed or accuracy). Avoid filler words like "hmm" and finish sentences clearly.

例: I improve my typing mainly by practicing on the website MonkeyType. It generates random sentences that help me work on speed and accuracy, and after regular practice my words-per-minute and error rate have improved noticeably.

× Meanwhile I would rather handwrite when I'm solving practice questions to just adapt to the style of handwriting on the actual.

✓ Meanwhile, I would rather handwrite when I'm solving practice questions to adapt to the handwriting style used in the actual exam.

The original sentence used 'to just adapt' which is informal and slightly redundant; 'to adapt' is clearer. Also 'on the actual' is incomplete; add 'exam' to specify the noun. Use of '-ing' in 'solving' is fine, but the phrase needed a clearer noun and smoother infinitive phrase. Suggestion: remove filler words like 'just' and supply the missing noun 'exam'.

× I type on my laptop.

✓ I type on my laptop.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No article change needed. It is kept the same to match the question's tense and context.

× It is mandatory for high school students to have Macbooks with them when they go to class, so whatever my teacher says, I would type it down on my MacBook so that I can quickly catch everything they say and it's convenient.

✓ It is mandatory for high school students to have MacBooks with them when they go to class, so when my teacher says something, I type it on my MacBook so I can quickly note everything they say and because it's convenient.

Problems: 'Macbooks' capitalization and plural spelling should be 'MacBooks'. 'Whatever my teacher says, I would type it down' mixes conditional/modal forms and is awkward; use simple present 'I type' to match habitual action. 'Type it down' is nonstandard; 'type it' or 'note' is better. 'So that I can quickly catch everything they say and it's convenient' contains a comma splice and awkward structure; split into clear clauses. Suggestion: use consistent present tense for habitual actions and correct brand capitalization.

× I first learned how to play how to type on a keyboard when I was in grade 4.

✓ I first learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in grade 4.

The phrase 'learned how to play how to type' repeats 'how' and includes an incorrect verb 'play'. Remove the extra 'how' and 'play' to form the correct past tense construction 'learned how to type'. The past tense 'learned' and time 'when I was in grade 4' are appropriate. Suggestion: avoid redundant words and unintended verbs.

× So I was attending this coding class and it was mandatory for you to practice typing quickly and do lots of stuff on the computer.

✓ I was attending a coding class where it was mandatory for us to practice typing quickly and do many tasks on the computer.

Original uses 'you' which shifts person unexpectedly; keep consistent first person 'us' or 'me' to match 'I was attending'. 'Lots of stuff' is informal; use 'many tasks' or 'a lot of exercises'. Also change 'this coding class' to 'a coding class' for natural narration. Suggestion: maintain consistent pronouns and use more precise nouns instead of 'stuff'.

× Hmm, there's a lot of ways to improve my typing.

✓ Hmm, there are a lot of ways to improve my typing.

Subject-verb agreement: 'a lot of ways' is plural, so use 'there are' not 'there's'. This falls under verb + -ing and subject-verb agreement categories; here correct auxiliary verb for plural noun. Suggestion: match 'there is/there are' to the number of the noun that follows.

× I personally go to this website called monkey type and they randomly generate sentences or paragraphs for me to type and I can just type as fast as I can to improve my accuracy of.

✓ I personally go to a website called Monkeytype; it randomly generates sentences or paragraphs for me to type, and I type as fast as I can to improve my accuracy.

Issues: 'this website' -> 'a website' is natural; brand capitalization 'Monkeytype'. 'They randomly generate' is plural pronoun for a website; use 'it'. The phrase 'improve my accuracy of' is incomplete — accuracy of what? Use 'improve my accuracy' without 'of'. Also remove redundant 'just' and duplicate 'type as fast as I can' streamlined. Suggestion: ensure pronoun agrees with 'website' and complete noun phrases.
