Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be concise and correct pronunciation/grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and give one specific reason with a linking word. Also correct collocations ("tiring" not "tired").

例: I prefer typing to handwriting. Firstly, typing is much faster for me, so I can finish tasks quickly; for example, I can draft emails and lesson plans in half the time. Therefore, I usually choose a keyboard when I need to work efficiently.

提案: Good structure and detail. Improve by combining sentences to avoid redundancy and adding one linking word. Also replace "as well" duplicate. Keep within 4–5 sentences maximum.

例: Yes, I type on my laptop every day because I'm a teacher and I use it to prepare lessons and resources. However, when I'm away, I use my iPad or phone to send quick messages and check emails.

提案: Correct pronunciation and grammar errors and be more precise with time expressions. Use one linking word to connect the background and the result. Avoid unclear phrases like "once off subject".

例: I learned to type when I was in secondary school because typing used to be a compulsory subject. My teacher taught proper finger placement, so I still use those techniques now for homework and emails.

提案: Be direct and specific about the methods you use to improve. Remove filler words and explain one or two concrete strategies with linking words (e.g., "by", "so").

例: I improve my typing by practicing daily while preparing lesson plans and resources; for example, I use online typing exercises to increase speed and accuracy, and I set a goal to reduce errors each week.

× Definitely I I have found that I prefer typing to handwriting because I think writing by handwriting is very tired and I don't like to write anything.

✓ Definitely, I have found that I prefer typing to handwriting because writing by hand is very tiring and I don't like to write much.

Problems: duplicated 'I', awkward adverb placement at start, incorrect phrase 'writing by handwriting', incorrect adjective 'very tired' (should be 'tiring'), and 'write anything' is unnatural. Suggestions: remove duplicate 'I'; place comma after introductory adverb 'Definitely'; use 'writing by hand' or 'writing by hand' and use the adjective 'tiring' to describe the activity; replace 'write anything' with 'write much' or 'write a lot' for natural negative sentence structure.

× Yes, of course. I type on my laptop every day because I'm a teacher and I need to prepare my lesson and resources.

✓ Yes, of course. I type on my laptop every day because I'm a teacher and I need to prepare my lessons and resources.

Problem: singular 'lesson' is unnatural when referring to routine preparation of multiple lessons. According to article/number rules, use plural 'lessons' for general repeated activity. Suggestion: change to 'lessons' to match daily/regular preparation.

× I also occasionally use my iPad and mobile phone to quickly send messages and check emails when I am away from my laptop as well.

✓ I also occasionally use my iPad and mobile phone to quickly send messages and check emails when I am away from my laptop.

Problem: redundant prepositions/phrases 'also' and 'as well' create repetition. Suggestion: remove one (preferably 'as well') for concise, natural sentence. Preposition 'away from' is correct.

× I learned to tithe when I was in secondary school because typing was once off subject that I have I had to learn at that time.

✓ I learned to type when I was in secondary school because typing was once a subject that I had to learn then.

Problems: misspelling 'tithe' should be 'type'; 'once off subject' is incorrect word order and words; unnecessary present perfect 'I have I had'; tense consistency: past simple 'learned' and past 'was' and 'had to learn'. Suggestions: correct spelling, reorder noun phrase to 'a subject', remove extra words, and use 'then' for time reference.

× My teacher showed us proper finger placement and I still use those skills now for homework and emails.

✓ My teacher showed us proper finger placement, and I still use those skills now for homework and emails.

Problem: missing comma before coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses. Prepositions are fine. Suggestion: add comma to join clauses correctly and improve readability.

× Uh, actually I can improve my typing because I need to use a laptop every single day because I'm a teacher.

✓ Actually, I have improved my typing because I need to use a laptop every single day as I'm a teacher.

Problem: 'can improve' implies future potential but context asks how you improve; better to state completed/ongoing result using present perfect 'have improved' or present continuous 'am improving'. Also repetition of 'because'. Suggestion: use 'have improved' to convey result of daily practice and replace second 'because' with 'as' for variety.

× I have to prepare a Lesson plan and find many resources, so it's just a great experience to improve.

✓ I have to prepare lesson plans and find many resources, so it's a great way to improve.

Problems: unnecessary capitalization of 'Lesson', awkward article 'a' before 'Lesson plan' when referring to routine plural activity, and 'it's just a great experience to improve' is unnatural. Suggestions: use plural 'lesson plans' and rephrase to 'a great way to improve' for natural expression.
