Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant with a good reason and a brief contrast. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid repetition, add one specific example and use a linking word to connect ideas for greater coherence. Also correct the minor repetition (“notes or notes”).

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it’s faster and more convenient at work; for example, I can quickly edit patient reports on my laptop. However, I still use handwriting for personal notes because writing by hand helps me remember details better.

提案: Good direct response with context and specific workplace details. To improve further, link the two sentences with a connector and add one concrete example of a task you do daily to show specificity.

例: I typically type on a desktop because I work as a nurse at the Philippine Heart Center, and we use computers daily to update doctors on patients’ vital signs and record medication charts.

提案: Your answer answers the question and gives background, but use past tense consistently and avoid vague phrasing like “If I remember right.” Be more concise and include a brief detail about how you practised or how long the course lasted to add specificity.

例: I learned to type in high school during a computer class that taught us how to operate PCs and improve typing speed; the course lasted one semester and included daily typing drills.

提案: You repeat “every day” several times; try to vary language and give a concrete method or metric (e.g., using practice software, timed exercises) to show active improvement. Use one linking word and a clearer result statement.

例: I improve my typing through daily practice at work and by using online typing tests twice a week; as a result, my speed has increased from about 40 to 60 words per minute.

× I generally prefer typing over handwriting because it is much easier and convenient, especially at work.

✓ I generally prefer typing to handwriting because it is much easier and more convenient, especially at work.

Use the correct comparison structure 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A over B' (both are possible in some contexts but 'prefer A to B' is more standard). Also when comparing two adjectives use a parallel form: 'easier and more convenient' (insert 'more' before 'convenient').

× I can easily delete or edit something if I make a mistake.

✓ I can easily delete or edit something if I make a mistake.

This sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. It is retained to show no error of the specified types.

× However, I still like handwriting if I take personal notes or notes.

✓ However, I still like handwriting when I take personal notes.

Redundant phrase 'or notes' should be removed. Use 'when' rather than 'if' to indicate a habitual action. This fixes sentence clarity and concision.

× I typically type on a desktop because of work as a nurse at the Philippine Heart Center.

✓ I typically type on a desktop because of my work as a nurse at the Philippine Heart Center.

Add the possessive article 'my' before 'work' to specify whose work and make the sentence natural. 'Because of work' is grammatical but sounds incomplete without 'my'.

× We use computers on a daily basis to interact with patients and update doctors about the current status.

✓ We use computers on a daily basis to interact with patients and to update doctors about their current status.

Add parallel 'to' before 'update' for parallel infinitive structure and change 'the current status' to 'their current status' to clarify whose status is being updated (correct use of pronoun). This fits present habitual tense.

× If I remember right, I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in high school.

✓ If I remember correctly, I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in high school.

Use the adverb 'correctly' after 'remember' to be idiomatic: 'If I remember correctly'. The rest of the sentence correctly uses past tense 'learned' for a past event.

× We have a subject that is related to technology and they helped us learn about how to operate a computer and write faster on a keyboard.

✓ We had a subject related to technology and it helped us learn how to operate a computer and type faster on a keyboard.

Use past tense 'had' to match the time frame ('when I was in high school'). Use singular pronoun 'it' to refer to 'a subject'. Remove unnecessary 'about' after 'learn' and replace 'write faster' with 'type faster' for accuracy. Also simplify 'related to technology' without 'that is'.

× I typically improve my typing by doing it every day.

✓ I typically improve my typing by practicing every day.

'Doing it' is vague; 'practicing' is more appropriate collocation with 'typing'. Present tense 'improve' is fine for habitual action.

× As a nurse at Philippine Heart Center, we use computers every day and so I am able to practice every day and I think I'm much faster now than before.

✓ As a nurse at the Philippine Heart Center, I use computers every day, so I am able to practice and I think I'm much faster now than before.

Maintain consistent subject 'I' instead of 'we' to match 'As a nurse...' Use the definite article 'the' before the institution name. Combine clauses with commas and avoid repeating 'every day'. This keeps present habitual tense consistent and improves clarity.
