Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and grammatically correct, avoid fillers (umm), correct verb agreement, and remove repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting reason with a brief example. Use a linking word to connect reason and example.

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember information better and organize my thoughts. For example, when I take notes by hand I process ideas more deeply and retain them for longer, so I often review handwritten notes before exams.

提案: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence, avoid vague comparisons and fillers, and use correct vocabulary and logical linking. If mentioning both devices, explain the difference clearly and give one specific reason for preference.

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because it is portable and convenient for studying in different places. Although I have a desktop at home, I usually use the laptop for classes and notes since I can take it to the library or a café.

提案: This answer is mostly clear and well-structured. To improve further, remove minor grammatical errors and make details slightly more concise. Use one linking word to show result and keep within 3–4 sentences.

例: I learned to type in elementary school, when I was about eight or nine. In our computer class the teacher taught basic typing skills and gave regular practice exercises. As a result, I gradually improved both my speed and accuracy.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers and unclear phrases (e.g. 'more taxes'), and provide specific, varied practice methods with linking words showing purpose or result. Limit to 2–3 sentences and include one concrete example and frequency.

例: I improve my typing mainly through regular practice. For example, I type in my daily diary and complete online typing exercises for 20 minutes every day, which has helped increase my speed and reduce errors.

× I prefer handwriting because I have more time to umm, remember information better and gives me more time to organize my thoughts.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I have more time to remember information better and it gives me more time to organize my thoughts.

The subject 'I' performs both verbs 'have' and 'gives'; using 'gives' without a subject is incorrect. Add the pronoun 'it' to refer to 'handwriting' or rephrase so verbs agree with their subjects. Also remove the extraneous comma and filler for clarity. Suggestion: use 'and it gives me...' or 'which gives me...'. Grammar problem type ID:12

× Like for example when I take notes by hand, I tend to process process ideas more deeply, so I retain them.

✓ For example, when I take notes by hand, I tend to process ideas more deeply, so I retain them.

The word 'process' is duplicated accidentally ('process process'), which is a typographical/repetition error causing sentence structure problems. Remove the extra word. Also begin with 'For example,' for smoother phrasing. Grammar problem type ID:26

× Umm I would say I type on the laptop keyboard every day for example.

✓ I would say I type on a laptop keyboard every day, for example.

Using the definite article 'the' implies a specific laptop already mentioned; here general reference needs the indefinite article 'a'. Also move 'for example' to the end and remove filler 'Umm' for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:22

× Umm also I have desktop but the different is desktop.

✓ I also have a desktop computer, but the difference is that the laptop is portable.

Sentence lacked articles ('a desktop computer') and used 'the different is desktop' which is ungrammatical. Replace with 'the difference is that...' and clarify contrast. Added 'computer' for clarity and 'portable' to explain difference. Grammar problem type ID:11

× You can umm take it to wherever you are.

✓ You can take it with you wherever you are.

The pronoun 'it' and placement 'to wherever you are' is awkward. Use 'take it with you' and 'wherever you are' to form a natural idiomatic expression. Grammar problem type ID:12

× I learned to type when I was in elementary school.

✓ I learned to type when I was in elementary school.

This sentence is correct: past tense 'learned' matches the time frame 'when I was in elementary school.' No change needed. Grammar problem type ID:5

× I was about 8 or 9 and in our computer classes the teacher taught us about the basic typing skills and often gave homework and practice exercise, which helped me improve my speed and accuracy.

✓ I was about eight or nine, and in our computer classes the teacher taught us basic typing skills and often gave homework and practice exercises, which helped me improve my speed and accuracy.

Use consistent number words ('eight or nine') and add a comma for clarity. Remove the definite article 'the' before 'basic typing skills' because it's a general reference. Change 'practice exercise' to plural 'practice exercises' to match 'homework' and because multiple exercises are implied. This corrects pluralization and article use. Grammar problem type ID:1

× The way that I improve typing is umm, practice.

✓ The way I improve my typing is practice.

Add the possessive 'my' to 'typing' and remove filler 'umm' and the comma for fluency. The structure 'The way I improve my typing is practice' is clearer and grammatical. Grammar problem type ID:6

× More and more I will give myself umm, more taxes to improve it.

✓ More and more I give myself more tasks to improve it.

'Taxes' is a wrong word choice; context requires 'tasks'. Also 'I will give' is awkward with habitual action; use present simple 'I give' for habitual practice. Remove filler 'umm'. Grammar problem type ID:14

× For example like umm, typing my diary or typing.

✓ For example, typing in my diary or other daily writing practice.

'For example like' is redundant; choose one. Remove filler 'umm'. The phrase ended with 'typing' which is incomplete; clarify with 'typing in my diary' or 'other daily writing practice' to complete the idea. Grammar problem type ID:26
