Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the sentence structure natural and concise. Use correct comparison phrase (prefer X to Y) and avoid redundancy. Add one specific reason with a linking word. Keep within 3–4 sentences.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because typed text is neater and easier to read. For example, when I type notes on my laptop I can search and edit them quickly, which saves time.

提案: Use correct tense and natural phrasing. Say simply that you usually type on a laptop and give a brief reason using a linking word like because or since. Avoid vague phrases such as “feel so easy.”

例: I usually type on a laptop because I own one and carry it around. As a result, I can work anywhere, which is more convenient than using a desktop.

提案: Organize the answer: give a clear time reference, then explain reasons with linking words. Avoid awkward phrasing like “made me so easy.” Be specific about when and what helped you learn.

例: I learned to type when I was about eight years old because my primary school had computer lessons. Later, studying computer science at college reinforced my skills, so I became quite comfortable with typing.

提案: Be concise and use correct verb forms. Explain a concrete method and its effect, using linking words. Replace vague phrases like “fasten the process” with natural expressions such as “increase speed” or “reduce errors.”

例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly with online typing tests and lessons. For instance, I spend 15 minutes each day on speed drills, which has helped me increase my words-per-minute and reduce mistakes.

× I prefer typing than handwriting because typing is more comfortable and efficient to read than handwritten ones.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because typing is more comfortable and easier to read than handwriting.

Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A than' (comparison structure). Use parallel nouns: 'handwriting' not 'handwritten ones.' Use 'easier to read' rather than 'more ... efficient to read' for clarity and correct adjective choice.

× Generally I used to type on a laptop because I personally own a laptop, so that makes me feel so easy.

✓ Generally I type on a laptop because I own one, so it is more convenient for me.

'Used to' implies past habits; the present habit requires present simple 'type.' Avoid repetition 'personally own a laptop.' Use 'it is more convenient for me' instead of 'makes me feel so easy' which is ungrammatical.

× At a very young age I learned to type on a keyboard because we used to have a session for computer in school days as well as I chose computer science in college so this made me so easy to use it.

✓ I learned to type at a very young age because we had computer classes at school, and I chose computer science in college, which made it easier for me to use a computer.

Simplify tense usage: 'we used to have' is acceptable but here use simple past 'we had' for completed past events. Fix word order and pronoun reference: 'which made it easier for me to use a computer.' Replace 'made me so easy' with 'made it easier for me'.

× I improve my typing skills by practicing more often and when I get some free time, I used to spend some time for it so that I can fasten the process and make it more easier.

✓ I improve my typing skills by practicing regularly, and when I have free time I spend it practicing so that I can speed up the process and make it easier.

Mixing present habits and 'used to' is incorrect; use present simple 'spend.' 'Make it more easier' is incorrect redundancy; use 'make it easier.' 'Fasten the process' is unnatural; use 'speed up the process.' Use 'regularly' instead of 'more often' for clarity.
