Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid contradictory connectors (e.g., 'although... but'), and give one or two specific reasons with brief examples. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' correctly.

例: I prefer handwriting to typing because it feels more personal and helps me remember things better. For example, when I write a letter or take notes by hand, I find the handwriting more meaningful and easier to recall later.

提案: Provide a clear direct response first, then add one or two specific details. Avoid filler phrases like 'I think' and keep sentences well-structured. Use linking words such as 'so' sparingly and accurately.

例: Yes, I type on a laptop every day. I bought a MacBook last summer, and I use it daily for researching school assignments and for entertainment like streaming videos and chatting with friends.

提案: Give a direct time reference and use correct grammar. Avoid hesitations and incomplete sentences. State the grade or age clearly, then add a brief supporting detail about where you learned.

例: I learned to type when I was in primary three, around eight or nine years old. I first practiced typing during my computer lessons at school, where we were taught basic keyboard skills.

提案: Start with a clear point and give specific examples of methods. Use correct verb forms and concise phrasing. Mention one or two concrete platforms or strategies and explain briefly how they help.

例: I improve my typing by using online practice platforms like TypingClub to increase speed and accuracy. I also type long messages on social media and group chats, which helps me practice typing fluently under time pressure.

× For me, I would prefer handwriting over typing because although some people would think that typing is faster and more effective, but in my opinion handwriting is more familiar and you can feel the warmth when you maybe write a letter or something like that.

✓ For me, I prefer handwriting over typing because although some people think that typing is faster and more effective, in my opinion handwriting is more familiar and you can feel the warmth when you write a letter or something like that.

Error: using both 'because' and 'but' together creates a faulty conjunction combination and redundancy; also modal verbs 'would' are unnecessary and 'maybe' is awkward. Suggestion: Use a single cohesive conjunction ('because'... 'in my opinion') and remove unnecessary modals. Use simple present ('prefer', 'think', 'write') for general preferences and facts.

× Yes I do, I think I bought my MacBook last summer and after that I have been using it every day and just typing on it to search on the Internet for my school work so for entertainment.

✓ Yes, I do. I think I bought my MacBook last summer, and since then I have been using it every day, typing on it to search the Internet for my schoolwork and for entertainment.

Errors: run-on sentence and awkward preposition use ('search on the Internet' should be 'search the Internet'); 'school work' should be the compound noun 'schoolwork'. Suggestion: Break into clearer clauses, use 'since then' with present perfect continuous, and correct collocations. Grammar problem type ID:2

× It was really a long time ago. Let me think I think I've first been in contact with the keyboard is like during my primary 3 or primary four and my first time experiencing typing is in my computer lesson, which is.

✓ It was a long time ago. Let me think. I first came into contact with a keyboard during primary 3 or primary 4, and my first experience of typing was in my computer lesson.

Errors: awkward phrasing ('I've first been in contact', 'is like', 'which is.'), tense and structure confusion. Suggestion: Use simple past ('came into contact', 'was') for past events, remove filler words, and restructure to produce clear, complete sentences. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I would improve my typing by accessing the online platforms to practice my typing speed or I would just use the social media to communicate with my friends and when I'm communicating I have to type a long text and that really enhance my typing skills.

✓ I would improve my typing by using online platforms to practice my typing speed, or I would use social media to communicate with my friends; when I'm communicating I have to type long messages, and that really enhances my typing skills.

Errors: incorrect verb form 'enhance' should be 'enhances' to agree with singular subject 'that', awkward phrase 'accessing the online platforms' and 'the social media'. Suggestion: Use 'using online platforms' and 'social media' without articles, ensure subject-verb agreement in present tense ('enhances'), and replace 'a long text' with 'long messages' for natural collocation.
