Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Keep your answer focused and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two concise reasons using correct grammar and linking words. Avoid redundancy and fix sentence fragments and word order mistakes (e.g., "handwriting input" not "handwriting in port"; remove repeated phrases).

例: I prefer typing on my phone or tablet because it is much faster and more accurate than handwriting input. For example, handwriting recognition often fails to catch my characters, so typing saves me time and reduces mistakes.

提案: Improve cohesion by linking sentences and correcting collocations and grammar. Begin with a direct response, then explain briefly with one or two linked reasons. Replace vague phrases like "serious on management" with "strict about" and use correct articles and word forms.

例: No, I don't use a desktop or laptop daily. Because I attend a boarding school that is strict about personal devices, I rarely have the opportunity to use such equipment during term time.

提案: Use correct verb tenses and natural expressions. State the time clearly, then give a concise supporting detail. Replace awkward phrases like "first time to exposure the computer" with "first exposure to a computer" and correct tense: "I was in grade three."

例: I learned to type when I was in Grade Three, which was my first exposure to a computer. I picked it up quickly because the training focused on basic touch-typing and regular practice.

提案: Give a clearer, more balanced answer. Start with a direct statement, then briefly explain why and offer alternatives if you do any practice. Avoid repeating ideas and fix grammar (e.g., "spend a long time practicing"). Consider admitting limited practice but mention any small steps you take to maintain the skill.

例: I don't spend much time improving my typing because I feel comfortable with my current speed. However, I occasionally use online typing tests or practice for 10–15 minutes a week to maintain accuracy and speed.

× I have tried using the handwriting in port before, but it really doesn't suit me because my writing speed is too slow very often before I can even finish a character or a word the screen.

✓ I have tried handwriting on my phone before, but it really doesn't suit me because my writing speed is often too slow; sometimes I can't even finish a character or a word on the screen.

'using the handwriting' is incorrect; 'handwriting' as a noun or 'handwriting on my phone' is appropriate (Verb + -ing form error). Word order and connectors were awkward; 'very often before I can even finish...' is ungrammatical, so rephrased to 'often too slow; sometimes I can't even...'. Also corrected 'in port' to 'on my phone' to match context and 'the screen' placement.

× Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

✓ Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Sentence is grammatical; no change needed. Included to show it meets subject-verb agreement (question with auxiliary 'do').

× No, I don't type on a desktop or laptop every day. I'm a boarding school student. Our school is serious on management of smart device, so I have almost no opportunity to use this device.

✓ No, I don't type on a desktop or laptop every day. I'm a boarding school student. Our school is strict about management of smart devices, so I have almost no opportunity to use them.

'serious on management of smart device' is ungrammatical and awkward (sentence structure error). Corrected to 'strict about management of smart devices' and pluralized 'devices' and used 'them' to refer back for clarity.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I'm in grade three.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in grade three.

Mixing past tense 'learned' with present 'I'm' is incorrect (present tense issue). Use past 'was' to match the past time frame.

× It was my first time to exposure the computer.

✓ It was my first time being exposed to a computer.

'to exposure the computer' is ungrammatical; correct structure is 'being exposed to a computer' or 'using a computer for the first time' (sentence structure error).

× I learned typing in short time.

✓ I learned to type in a short time.

Use infinitive 'to type' after 'learned' and include article 'a' before 'short time' to form a correct time expression (past tense construction and verb form issue).

× It is easy to me.

✓ It is easy for me.

Use preposition 'for' with 'easy' to indicate the person affected. 'to me' is incorrect in this context (incorrect use of adjectives/prepositions combined).

× Actually, I do not spend my time on typing.

✓ Actually, I do not spend time typing.

'spend my time on typing' is awkward; correct collocation is 'spend time typing' (sentence structure/collocation error).

× Personally, I think this skill is not necessary to spend long time to practicing.

✓ Personally, I think it is not necessary to spend a long time practicing this skill.

Word order and verb forms were incorrect. 'to spend long time to practicing' mixes infinitive and -ing; correct is 'to spend a long time practicing' (modal/necessity expression and verb form issues).

× It is not a hard skill, so I never spend long time on practicing typing.

✓ It is not a difficult skill, so I never spend a long time practicing typing.

'on practicing typing' is incorrect; use 'spend a long time practicing' (Verb + -ing form and collocation). Also 'hard' replaced with more natural 'difficult'.
