Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Avoid repetition ("how to use") and fix sentence fragments.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because most tasks today are digital and require fast, accurate typing. For example, I use typing to write emails and assignments quickly, so it saves me a lot of time.

提案: Use a clear topic sentence and correct comparisons. Avoid filler words and unclear references ("computer" vs "desktop"). Give one specific reason why a laptop suits you and use a linking word.

例: I type on a laptop every day because it is portable and convenient. For instance, I can work from different rooms or take it to a cafe, whereas a desktop stays in one place.

提案: Give a clear past-time reference with correct tense and complete the thought. Use linking words to show sequence (e.g., 'at first' -> 'later'). Provide a specific detail about how you improved or what helped you.

例: I learned to type when I was about 11 years old. At first it was confusing, but after practicing with online typing lessons and school assignments, I became much faster and more accurate.

提案: Answer directly, correct grammar, and give a specific method with frequency or tool. Avoid incomplete sentences; finish the example and use linking words to explain results.

例: I improve my typing by practicing for 20 minutes every day using online typing tests. Also, I write short journal entries about my day, which helps increase speed and reduce mistakes.

× 'Well, I definitely prefer typing because nowadays that everything has become technology driven, so important to know how to use, how to use technology in your daily life.'

✓ 'Well, I definitely prefer typing because nowadays everything has become technology-driven, so it is important to know how to use technology in your daily life.'

'Present tense issue: The sentence mixes awkward constructions and omits necessary verbs for present tense statements. Use simple present 'everything has become' (present perfect is acceptable) and include 'it is' before 'important' to form a complete present-tense clause. Also hyphenate 'technology-driven' as a compound adjective.'},{

× 'That's why I really prefer typing and actually my typing is so fast.'

✓ 'That's why I really prefer typing, and actually my typing is very fast.'

'Subject-verb agreement and word choice: The verb 'is' agrees with singular subject 'my typing', but 'so fast' is colloquial; replacing with 'very fast' is clearer. Also add a comma before conjunction to join independent clauses.'},{

× 'Well, actually I'm a laptop person which I used to typing on a laptop.'

✓ 'Well, actually I'm a laptop person and I am used to typing on a laptop.'

'Subject-verb agreement and structure: Use 'I am used to typing' (passive/state expression) not 'I used to typing'. 'Which' is incorrect for people/things here; use 'and' to connect the ideas.'},{

× 'I think it's more, umm, practical and easier to type with laptop instead of, uh, computer, because it's easy to work with.'

✓ 'I think it's more practical and easier to type on a laptop instead of on a desktop computer, because it is easier to work with.'

'Verb + -ing form and preposition use: Use 'type on a laptop' not 'type with laptop'. Also specify 'desktop computer' for contrast and repeat the preposition 'on' for clarity. Use 'it is' for full present-tense clause.'},{

× 'I think I was about 11 or 12 years old when I find find out how to use laptop and type on the computer, which was quite confusing at first, but then I get used to it and actually I became more.'

✓ 'I think I was about 11 or 12 years old when I found out how to use a laptop and type on the computer, which was quite confusing at first, but then I got used to it and eventually became better.'

'Past tense issue: Use simple past 'found out' (not 'find find out') and 'got used to' for past habitual change. 'Became more' is incomplete; 'became better' clarifies improvement. Include article 'a laptop.'

× 'Well, one thing I do to improve my typing is to practice regularly.'

✓ 'Well, one thing I do to improve my typing is practice regularly.'

'Present tense issue: Both versions are acceptable, but removing 'to' before 'practice' makes the sentence more natural: 'is practice regularly' or keep 'is to practice regularly.' Either is correct; this suggestion simplifies structure.'},{

× 'Actually, one of my hobby is typing my daily events for.'

✓ 'Actually, one of my hobbies is typing my daily events.'

'Incorrect use of quantifiers and articles: Use plural 'hobbies' after 'one of' and include the verb 'is'. Remove the trailing preposition 'for' which is unnecessary. The corrected sentence uses proper quantifier 'one of my hobbies' and completes the noun phrase.'}]}{
