Typing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid redundancy and fix grammar errors (e.g., “Since I moved to the US” and “I have a computer”); use linking words like “because” correctly.

예시: I prefer typing. Since I moved to the US, I use a computer every day, and I find the built-in grammar and spell checks very helpful when I write emails or assignments.

제안: Use a clear topic sentence and correct contradictions and grammar. Say whether you use a laptop and give a specific reason with linking words. Avoid saying you can't take it anywhere if you actually do take it out.

예시: I use a laptop every day because it's portable. For example, I often take it to coffee shops when I study, which would be difficult with a desktop.

제안: Begin with a precise time reference, then provide one or two specific supporting details. Correct verb forms and phraseings (e.g., “it took me some time” not “how long it take for me”). Use linking words like “and” or “but” appropriately.

예시: I learned to type by myself in college. I practiced with a typing program for a few months, but because it was a long time ago I can't remember the exact software I used.

제안: Answer with present habits if relevant, or clearly state past practice and add specific methods. Use linking words to connect ideas and provide at least one concrete example of how you practice now or used to practice (e.g., timed tests, online lessons).

예시: To improve my typing, I practice regularly with online typing tests and software that tracks speed and accuracy. For instance, I do 10-minute timed drills three times a week to increase my words-per-minute and reduce errors.

× I prefer typing because I'm so used to it.

✓ I prefer typing because I'm very used to it.

The original sentence uses 'so used to' which is informal and can be ambiguous; 'very used to' or simply 'used to it' is clearer in this context. Keep present simple as preference expression.

× Since I moved to the USI have a typically used computer and especially it comes handy because of the grammar check and spell check functions.

✓ Since I moved to the US, I have typically used a computer, and it is especially handy because of the grammar-check and spell-check functions.

Multiple issues: missing comma after introductory clause, missing space in 'US', incorrect word order 'I have a typically used computer' (unnatural) and wrong adjective 'comes handy' should be 'is handy'. Use hyphens for compound modifiers like 'grammar-check' and 'spell-check'. Maintain present perfect 'I have' for a state continuing from move.

× I always use laptop.

✓ I always use a laptop.

Missing indefinite article 'a' before singular countable noun 'laptop'. Use 'a laptop' to indicate one general device.

× I prefer a laptop computer because I can't take it with me to anywhere, including a coffee shop which I often study.

✓ I prefer a laptop computer because I can take it with me anywhere, including coffee shops where I often study.

The original has logical error 'can't take it with me to anywhere' contradicting preference. Correct to 'can take it with me anywhere'. Also 'a coffee shop which I often study' is ungrammatical; use plural 'coffee shops' or 'a coffee shop where I often study' and relative clause 'where I often study' to show location.

× I practiced it by myself when I was at college.

✓ I practiced by myself when I was at college.

Redundant pronoun 'it' after 'practiced' is unnecessary when context is clear. Past tense 'practiced' is correct to indicate completed action.

× I may have used a special software to learn how to type, but it was such a long time ago I don't recall specifically what kind of software it was or how long it take for me to get used to it.

✓ I may have used special software to learn how to type, but it was such a long time ago that I don't recall specifically what kind of software it was or how long it took me to get used to it.

Use 'may have used' for possibility (correct). Remove article 'a' before 'special software' because 'software' is uncountable. Add 'that' after 'ago' for clarity. 'How long it take' needs past tense 'took' to match 'was' and the time frame; 'for me' can be 'me' after 'took'.

× I used to practice software and I corrected by myself, but it was such a long time ago.

✓ I used to practice with typing software and corrected my mistakes by myself, but it was such a long time ago.

'Practice software' needs a preposition: 'practice with software' or 'practice using software'. 'I corrected by myself' lacks object; specify 'corrected my mistakes' or 'corrected myself'. Maintain past habitual 'used to' for repeated past actions.

× I don't know if I'm doing well or poorly compared to other people.

✓ I don't know whether I'm doing well or poorly compared to other people.

Use 'whether' for alternatives rather than 'if' in formal contexts to introduce two possibilities. Present continuous 'I'm doing' is acceptable for current ongoing performance; keep tense.
