Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler words, and add one specific reason with concise linking. Keep to 1–3 sentences and ensure natural phrasing.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because typed text is usually neater and easier to read. For example, when I type notes on my laptop I can organize them quickly and correct mistakes without rewriting the whole page.

提案: Start with a direct answer, remove hesitations and repetitions, and give one concise reason with a linking word. Mention a brief specific example to support your preference.

例: I type on a laptop every day because it is portable and convenient. For instance, I can bring my laptop to the office and work from different locations, whereas a desktop would keep me tied to one desk.

提案: Answer directly with a clear time reference, avoid long confusing clauses, and explain briefly how you learned with one specific detail. Use linking words for clarity.

例: I learned to type when I was at primary school. At that time we had regular computer classes and practiced typing exercises, so I picked up the skill through repeated practice.

提案: State your main methods clearly and use specific examples; avoid fillers and grammar mistakes. Use linking words to list techniques and give frequency or results.

例: I improve my typing by practicing two or three times a week and doing timed typing exercises. Additionally, I watch movies with subtitles and transcribe short clips, which helps me increase speed and accuracy.

× I prefer typing over handwriting because it is more clear rather than anybody's handwriting because it can be, uh, clearly readable format and if someone's right and it could be like full of mistakes.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because it is clearer than most people's handwriting; handwriting can be full of mistakes and hard to read.

Use of comparative adjectives: 'more clear' should be 'clearer'. 'Prefer A to B' is the correct collocation, not 'prefer A over B' in this context. 'Anybody's handwriting' is awkward; 'most people's handwriting' is clearer. 'Clearly readable format' is incorrect adjective order and word choice; use 'hard to read' or 'difficult to read'. Use punctuation to separate clauses for clarity. Suggestion: Use the comparative form (clear -> clearer), the correct prefer collocation (prefer X to Y), and simpler phrasing (hard to read).

× So definitely I like, prefer typing.

✓ So definitely I prefer typing.

Redundant verbs: 'like, prefer' combines two verbs incorrectly. Use one main verb; present simple 'prefer' expresses general preference. Remove 'like' to avoid incorrect present participle structure. Suggestion: Use a single verb to state preference: 'I prefer typing.'

× I type on a laptop keyboard everyday because is it is very easy to carry with me carry along and I usually take it to the office and I don't prefer desktop computers, they are quite noisy to me and.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is easy to carry with me, so I usually take it to the office. I don't prefer desktop computers because they seem quite noisy to me.

'aday' is split: 'every day' (two words) for frequency. There were missing subject-verb structure ('because is it is' incorrect). Remove repetition 'carry with me carry along'. Use conjunctions and punctuation to join ideas. 'Noisy to me and' was incomplete; complete clause needed. Suggestion: Use 'every day' for frequency, maintain subject-verb order ('it is'), avoid repetition, and finish clauses clearly.

× If I tell you I haven't learned how to type on a keyboard in a conventional way because it was my practice when I started my schooling and that time I was in the regular practice of typing, so it was this only.

✓ I didn't learn to type in a conventional way; I practiced typing when I started school, so that was my regular practice then.

Mixed and incorrect tense usage: 'haven't learned' (present perfect) conflicts with 'when I started my schooling' (simple past). Use past simple 'didn't learn' and 'practiced' to describe past events. 'It was this only' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'that was my regular practice then.' Suggestion: Use simple past for finished past events and clear phrasing ('didn't learn to type conventionally; I practiced when I started school').

× I improve my typing by typing paragraph is paragraphs like twice in a week and uh do practice hard and watch movies and their subtitle sub and writing their subtitles at the same time.

✓ I improve my typing by typing paragraphs about twice a week, practicing hard, and watching movies with subtitles while transcribing the subtitles at the same time.

Plural and quantifier errors: 'paragraph is paragraphs' is wrong; use 'paragraphs'. 'Like twice in a week' should be 'about twice a week' (correct quantifier and adverb placement). Verb forms should be parallel: use gerunds or infinitives consistently ('typing... practicing... watching... transcribing'). 'Their subtitle sub and writing their subtitles' is unclear; rephrase to 'watching movies with subtitles while transcribing them.' Suggestion: Use plural 'paragraphs', 'about twice a week', and keep parallel verb forms (gerunds) for clarity.
