Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler words, and provide one specific reason with a brief example. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., "because", "so").

例: I prefer typing because I'm a fast typist and my handwriting is hard to read. For example, on university assignments I type notes quickly which saves time, so my work looks neater and is easier to share.

提案: Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence and chronological detail. Reduce hesitation and repeat information only once. Use linking phrases (e.g., "when I worked as...", "but now") and include one brief specific detail about current habits.

例: When I worked as a computer engineer I typed on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day for about five to six hours. However, since I stopped working two years ago I mainly type on my phone for messages and social media.

提案: Give a clear time reference and sequence: state the age or time, explain briefly how you started, and then mention formal learning. Avoid fillers and grammatical errors; use past tense correctly and link ideas with words like "when" and "later".

例: I started learning to type when I was about ten after creating a Facebook account, which made me practice a lot. Later, when I chose computer engineering as my major, I learned professional typing techniques at university.

提案: Structure the answer: begin with a topic sentence describing your main method, then give two specific supporting details. Correct terminology ("ten-finger touch typing") and grammar will improve clarity. Remove fillers and be concise.

例: I improved my typing mainly through practice at school. For example, we had many typing projects and a course that taught ten-finger touch typing, which helped me type faster and more accurately.

× Actually, I'm a quick typer.

✓ Actually, I'm a fast typist.

The sentence uses present tense but 'typer' is an uncommon noun; 'typist' is the correct noun for someone who types. Also 'quick' as an adjective is acceptable, but 'fast' collocates better with 'typist'. Keep present tense as it expresses a current habit.

× Because of that I prefer typing.

✓ Because of that, I prefer typing.

Add a comma after the introductory phrase 'Because of that' to improve sentence structure and readability. The grammar/tense is fine; this fixes punctuation for clarity.

× And also my handwriting is so bad because it's not, so people cannot read it so well.

✓ Also, my handwriting is very bad, so people cannot read it well.

Remove redundant words and correct adverb/adjective usage: 'so bad' is fine but 'very bad' is more natural; 'so well' after 'cannot read' is awkward, use 'well'. Also reorganize for clarity and add commas.

× Because of that I prefer typing.

✓ Because of that, I prefer typing.

Same correction as before: add comma for clarity. Present tense is appropriate.

× It's about two years that I don't work anymore, but before I was an, uh, computer engineer.

✓ I haven't worked for about two years, but before that I was a computer engineer.

Use present perfect negative 'haven't worked' to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Replace 'It's about two years that I don't work anymore' (incorrect tense and structure) with 'I haven't worked for about two years.' Also remove filler 'uh' and correct clause order.

× I was a computer engineer and I worked on a keyboard a lot.

✓ I was a computer engineer, and I worked on a keyboard a lot.

Add a comma before the conjunction for clarity. Subject-verb agreement is correct ('I worked'), sentence is fine aside from punctuation.

× I mean every day and so many hours, like 5 or 6 hours.

✓ I mean I typed every day for many hours, like five or six hours.

When referring to habitual past action, use past tense 'typed' and 'for' to indicate duration. Spell out numbers for formality.

× But now I just type on my phone.

✓ But now I just type on my phone.

Present simple is correct here to describe current habitual action; no change needed.

× I think I was about 10 that I umm make account, create account on the Facebook and from that time I start to typing and then when I choose my major that was computer, I learned it professionally.

✓ I think I was about ten when I created a Facebook account, and from that time I started typing; then when I chose my major in computer science, I learned it professionally.

Use past tense verbs: 'created', 'started', 'chose', 'learned' to describe past events. Use 'when' instead of 'that' for time clauses. Use 'a Facebook account' (article) and 'major in computer science' for clarity. Also correct 'start to typing' to 'started typing.'

× I start to typing

✓ I started typing

After changing to past tense, use the gerund 'typing' without 'to'. Correct form is 'started typing' not 'start to typing.'

× By practicing a lot in umm school, we had so many projects that we should type and also we had a lesson in our book that teach us how to type correctly with UH-10 fingers and that's helps me a lot.

✓ By practicing a lot at school, we had many projects that we had to type, and we also had a lesson in our book that taught us how to type correctly with ten fingers, and that helped me a lot.

Use 'at school' not 'in school' for this context, change 'so many' to 'many' for naturalness. Use 'had to type' for obligation in past. Change 'teach' to past 'taught' and 'that's helps' to past 'that helped' to match past timeframe. 'UH-10 fingers' is unclear; replace with 'ten fingers' for clarity.
