Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word, and avoid vague phrases like "not that good enough" or repeating ideas about the future unnecessarily. Keep to under five sentences.

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because it is much faster and more convenient. For example, when I take notes on my phone I can edit and organize them quickly. Also, typing makes it easier to share my work with classmates, so I use it for most tasks.

提案: Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add a clear supporting detail using a linking word. Fix the grammatical issue (extra comma) and avoid redundancy ("desktop or laptop keyboard" and "computer" overlap).

例: I don't use a desktop or laptop because I don't own a computer. Instead, I usually type on my iPad or smartphone, which is enough for my schoolwork and messages.

提案: Start with a concise time reference, then describe how you learned and give a specific result. Combine clauses with linking words and avoid overly long run-on sentences.

例: I learned to type when I was in primary school during a computer science lesson. Our teacher showed us proper finger placement, so now I'm quite fast and comfortable typing for assignments.

提案: Answer directly with a topic sentence, then give one or two specific methods with linking words. Remove fillers like "umm" and be more precise about frequency or practice type.

例: I improve my typing by practicing regularly, especially when I study. For instance, I write practice essays every week to prepare for exams, which helps me increase both speed and accuracy.

× In the past handwriting was more popular because the technology was not that good enough as today.

✓ In the past, handwriting was more popular because technology was not as good as it is today.

Comparison with the present requires the structure 'not as ... as' and present reference 'as it is today.' Also add a comma after 'In the past' for clarity.

× But nowadays typing is way faster and it doesn't take your time that much.

✓ But nowadays typing is much faster and doesn't take up that much of your time.

'Way' is informal; 'much faster' is clearer. 'Take your time that much' is incorrect word order and missing 'up' and 'of' for the expression 'take up that much of your time.'

× And in the future I believe the technology will get better.

✓ In the future, I believe technology will get better.

Remove unnecessary conjunction 'And' at sentence start and the article 'the' before 'technology' is not needed in general statements. Add a comma after 'In the future' for clarity.

× I don't type on a desktop or laptop, keyboard everything because I don't have a computer, but I usually use my iPad or my phone to type.

✓ I don't type on a desktop or laptop keyboard because I don't have a computer, but I usually use my iPad or my phone to type.

The comma placement and word order were incorrect: 'desktop or laptop keyboard' should be a single noun phrase. Remove the extra comma and the stray word 'everything.'

× We had a computer science lesson at school and our teacher helped me use the keyboard when I was little and thanks to him I'm very good at typing and I'm really fast.

✓ We had a computer science lesson at school, and our teacher helped me learn to use the keyboard when I was little. Thanks to him, I'm very good at typing and I'm really fast.

Run-on sentence needs splitting into two sentences. Use 'learn to use' instead of 'use' after 'helped me' for natural phrasing. Add commas after introductory phrases for clarity.

× By typing some paragraphs, umm and especially while I'm studying.

✓ By typing some paragraphs, especially while I'm studying.

Remove filler 'umm' and ensure the clause is complete; 'By typing some paragraphs' requires the rest of the sentence to show purpose, which 'especially while I'm studying' completes. No extra commas needed.

× I usually write essays to study for my exams so it really helps to improve my typing.

✓ I usually write essays to study for my exams, so it really helps improve my typing.

Add a comma before 'so' connecting clauses and remove unnecessary 'to' after 'helps' (use 'helps improve'). This keeps present tense consistent.
