Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use present tense to answer current preference, give a brief reason and one specific example. Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences. Use a linking phrase when adding the reason (e.g., "because" or "as").

例: I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember things better. For example, when I take notes in class I write by hand, which makes it easier to review later.

提案: Add a short supporting detail to make the response more informative and use a linking word to connect ideas (e.g., "because" or "so"). Keep it concise and natural. Avoid unnecessary tense or article errors (say "a desktop" or "on my desktop").

例: I type on a desktop every day because I work from home and prefer the larger monitor and full keyboard. As a result, I find it more comfortable for long typing sessions.

提案: Use a more natural and concise phrasing (e.g., "I learned to type when I was five"). Optionally add a brief detail about how you learned or who taught you to make it more specific, using a linking word like "and" or "so".

例: I learned to type when I was five years old, and my parents taught me using a simple typing game. That early practice helped me build speed and accuracy.

提案: Provide a bit more specific information about your practice routine and use linking words (e.g., "by", "for example") to make the answer clearer. Keep it within 2–4 sentences and avoid repetitive phrasing like "day by day."

例: I improve my typing by practicing for 20 minutes each day using online typing exercises. For example, I work on accuracy drills and timed tests to increase both speed and precision.

× I preferred handwriting.

✓ I prefer handwriting.

The examiner asks about a current preference (Do you prefer...), so present simple should be used. 'Preferred' is past tense; change to 'prefer' to match the present-tense question. Suggestion: Use present simple for general preferences (I prefer handwriting).

× I type on a desktop every day.

✓ I type on a desktop every day.

This sentence is correct. It uses present simple to describe a habitual action and 'desktop' is appropriate. No changes needed.

× I was five years old when I learned to type on keyboard.

✓ I was five years old when I learned to type on a keyboard.

The tense 'was' and 'learned' are correctly in the past because the event happened previously, but the sentence is missing the article 'a' before 'keyboard'. This is an article error connected to past-tense sentence structure. Add 'a' to make it grammatically correct. Suggestion: Include articles with singular countable nouns (a keyboard).

× I practice day by day to improve my typing.

✓ I practice day by day to improve my typing.

The sentence is grammatically acceptable as present simple to describe a habitual action. If you want a more natural phrasing, consider 'I practice every day to improve my typing.' This replaces 'day by day' with the more common adverbial phrase 'every day.'
