Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition (e.g., 'paperless' and 'no paper and pen' say the same thing). Use smoother connectors like 'because' and 'so' appropriately and correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'so you can save time', 'reduce costs').

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s faster and more convenient, so I can save time. For example, when I type essays I finish much quicker and I don’t need to buy paper or pens, which reduces my costs.

提案: Provide a direct topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details linked clearly. Avoid redundancy ('assignment' repeated) and informal fragments ('the YouTube'). Use correct tense and articles, and limit to 3–4 sentences.

例: I usually type on a laptop because I use it for my school assignments. In addition, I sometimes watch YouTube tutorials to practice and improve my typing skills, which helps me work more efficiently.

提案: Start with a clear time phrase and reduce filler words ('actually', 'used to be'). Use linking words to show sequence (e.g., 'then', 'since then') and give a specific detail about what you learned or how often you practiced. Correct phrasing: 'in eighth grade' and 'computer lab'.

例: I learned to type in eighth grade when we had regular computer classes. My teacher took us to the computer lab, and since then I practiced regularly, which helped me improve a lot.

提案: Give a direct topic sentence about your method, then specify the practice routine and results. Use clearer verb forms ('I practiced consistently' or 'I practice for two to three hours a day') and avoid vague phrases ('initial day'). Explain briefly what you practiced (speed, accuracy, drills).

例: I improved my typing by practising consistently every day. For example, I practiced for two to three hours daily using online typing drills to increase speed and accuracy, and after a few months my mistakes decreased significantly.

× I would prefer typing instead of handwriting because typing is more convenient and faster so it can save time.

✓ I would prefer typing instead of handwriting because typing is more convenient and faster, so it can save time.

Missing comma before coordinating conjunction 'so' joining two independent clauses. Add a comma to improve sentence clarity and correctness.

× And also typing you do not need a paper and a pen so it's paperless job and you can utilize your costs and time in another work.

✓ Also, when typing you do not need paper or a pen, so it is a paperless activity and you can use the money and time saved for other work.

Pronoun and article use is incorrect: 'a paper' should be 'paper' (uncountable) and 'a pen' -> 'a pen' was okay but 'and also typing you' needs reordering. 'Paperless job' is unnatural; 'paperless activity' is clearer. 'Utilize your costs and time in another work' is ungrammatical; correct to 'use the money and time saved for other work.'

× I usually type on the laptop keyboard because as I'm a student I need to do my assignment so I always type on my laptop to complete my assignment and however I also sometimes watch videos in the YouTube and do and learn typing skills.

✓ I usually type on my laptop keyboard because, as a student, I need to do my assignments, so I always use my laptop to complete them; however, I also sometimes watch videos on YouTube to learn typing skills.

Errors: 'the laptop keyboard' should be 'my laptop keyboard' (possessive), 'do my assignment' -> 'do my assignments' (plural/agree), overuse of conjunctions and punctuation issues. 'the YouTube' is incorrect; use 'YouTube'. 'do and learn typing skills' is awkward; 'watch videos... to learn typing skills' is clearer.

× Actually when I was in 8th class, there was used to be a computer class.

✓ Actually, when I was in eighth grade, there used to be a computer class.

Incorrect use of 'there was used to be'. Correct form is 'used to be' or 'there used to be'. Also '8th class' is better expressed as 'eighth grade' in natural English.

× So at that time my teacher used to take us in computer lab to learn the typing skills and other software skills and I learned typing skills from that day and I keep my consistency.

✓ So at that time my teacher used to take us to the computer lab to learn typing and other software skills, and I have practiced consistently since that day.

Errors: preposition should be 'to the computer lab' not 'in computer lab'. 'learn the typing skills' -> 'learn typing'. 'I keep my consistency' is unnatural; use 'I have practiced consistently' to express continued action.

× So I have improved a lot.

✓ So I have improved a lot.

Sentence is grammatical; present perfect 'have improved' correctly shows change up to now. No correction needed.

× Actually I was facing difficulty and challenges during the initial day of my learning typing.

✓ At the beginning of learning to type, I faced difficulties and challenges.

Original mixes past progressive incorrectly and awkward phrasing. Use simple past 'faced' for a completed past experience and correct noun forms 'difficulties' and natural phrase 'at the beginning of learning to type.'

× But when I make a stable and consistent practice every day, like about two to three hours practice, then I improve my typing.

✓ But when I practice regularly every day for about two to three hours, my typing improves.

Tense and verb forms: 'make a stable and consistent practice' is unnatural; use 'practice regularly'. Combine clauses and use present simple for habitual result: 'my typing improves.' Remove redundant 'then' and adjust noun forms.
