Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 回答は明確で内容も適切ですが、表現がやや冗長で文法や語彙の自然さに改善の余地があります。例えば「so it says it saves me time」は不自然なので削除または言い換え（"which saves me time"）が望ましいです。また、理由をもう一つ具体的に付け加えると説得力が増します（例：編集や検索が簡単など）。語数は3～4文に収め、接続詞（because, which, moreover等）を使って論理を明確にしてください。

例: I prefer typing because I can type much faster than I write by hand, which saves time when I work or study. It is also easier to edit and search my notes on a computer, so I can organize information more efficiently.

提案: 答えは直接的ですが、文の構造がやや乱れており語の繰り返し（"essays essays"）や冠詞の欠如（"an university"）など文法ミスがあります。まずは短い主文で答え（"Yes, I do."）を述べ、その後で具体例（essays, assignments, taking notes）を列挙すると良いです。列挙する際は接続詞（and）や句読点を使い、各要素を明確にしてください。発音や流暢さも意識して自然に話す練習をしてください。

例: Yes, I do. As a university student, I type every day to write essays and complete assignments, and I also take notes during online lectures.

提案: 回答は明確で順序立てて説明されており、具体的な状況（小学校での指導）も含まれています。改善点は、より自然なつながり表現（"back then"や"at that time"）や、学んだ方法の具体例（タッチタイピング、フィンガー配置など）を一つ加えるとさらに良くなります。文は短めに保ち、必要なら接続語で流れを整えてください。

例: I first learned to type when I was in primary school. Back then, we were taught how to find the letters and practice touch-typing, starting with simple words and short sentences.

提案: 内容は具体的で、方法・頻度・効果が明確に述べられており良い回答です。さらに改善するには現在の継続方法や別の練習法（タイピングソフト、指の配置の練習など）を付け加え、時制を現在形と過去形で混同しないよう注意すると完璧です（例："I improved... by... I used to..."は過去の習慣なので問題ないですが、現在も続けているなら現在完了や現在形を使う）。

例: I improved my typing skills by practicing on a website game called Sushida, which I played almost every day in high school. That regular practice made me faster and more accurate, and I still use typing exercises occasionally to maintain my speed.

× I prefer typing because I can type much faster than I can write by hand, so it says it saves me time when I'm working or studying.

✓ I prefer typing because I can type much faster than I can write by hand, so it saves me time when I'm working or studying.

The phrase 'so it says it saves me time' is ungrammatical and redundant. Remove 'it says it' and use 'so it saves me time' to show cause and effect. Suggestion: keep the sentence concise and use a clear subject for 'saves' (it refers to typing).

× Yes, I do as an university student I type daily to write essays essays and do assignments and also I take notes during online lectures.

✓ Yes, I do. As a university student, I type daily to write essays and do assignments, and I also take notes during online lectures.

There are several issues: missing punctuation and capitalization, incorrect article 'an' before consonant sound 'university' (use 'a'), duplicated word 'essays essays', and run-on sentence. Fix by splitting into sentences, using 'a university student', removing duplicate word, and adding commas. Suggestion: proofread for punctuation and duplicate words.

× I first learned to type when I was in primary school. There we were taught how to find the letters on the keyboard and practice typing simple words or sentences.

✓ I first learned to type when I was in primary school. There we were taught how to find the letters on the keyboard and to practice typing simple words or sentences.

The verb sequence 'find ... and practice' is fine, but adding 'to' before 'practice' makes parallel infinitive structure with 'to find' implied. Alternatively, keep both gerunds: 'finding the letters ... and practising typing'. Suggestion: choose consistent parallel structure (both infinitives or both gerunds).

× I improved my typing skills by practicing on a website game called Sushida. I used to play it almost every day when I was in high school and that regular practice really helped me type faster and more accurately.

✓ I improved my typing skills by practising on a website game called Sushida. I used to play it almost every day when I was in high school, and that regular practice really helped me type faster and more accurately.

Mainly spelling variant: 'practicing' (US) vs 'practising' (UK). Also missing comma before conjunction joining independent clauses. Suggestion: be consistent with regional spelling and use comma before 'and' when joining two independent clauses.
