Typing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid exaggerated or vague phrases (e.g., "very old person", "screens and stuff"). Use precise vocabulary and correct grammar ("a very old person" → "an elderly person").

예시: I prefer handwriting. Mainly, I write by hand because I type very slowly, so handwriting is faster for me. In addition, I find screens tiring, so I enjoy the tactile feel of pen and paper when I study.

제안: Provide a direct answer, reduce hesitation and filler words, and organise details logically with linking words. Correct grammar ("the a keyboard"). Specify which device you use more often and why. Keep it within 2–3 sentences.

예시: No, I don't use a desktop or laptop every day. I mostly type on my phone or tablet, which usually means I use the touchscreen rather than a physical keyboard. As a result, I don't practice on a full keyboard often.

제안: Give a clear timeline and concise supporting detail. Remove hesitation and correct grammar ("our teacher loved" not "love"). Use linking words for coherence. Mention a specific activity that helped you learn to make the answer more vivid.

예시: I learned to type in first or second grade during a computer class. Our teacher had us play simple typing games and exercises, which helped me get familiar with the keyboard and made learning fun.

제안: Be concise and precise about the method and its effect. Use correct verb forms and avoid redundancy ("did do"). Explain briefly how the practice helped and quantify or qualify the improvement if possible.

예시: To improve my typing, I practised by transcribing dialogue from movies. By typing what I heard, I increased my speed and accuracy because I learned to anticipate common words and improve finger movement.

× I type like an very old person who is not acquainted with technology or devices at all.

✓ I type like a very old person who is not acquainted with technology or devices at all.

The indefinite article 'an' is used before vowel sounds; 'very' begins with a consonant sound, so 'a' is correct. Use 'a' before words starting with consonant sounds and 'an' before vowel sounds. Improve by noticing the sound following the article rather than the first letter.

× But also because I am kind of not into screens and stuff, I am very against them.

✓ But also because I am kind of not into screens and stuff, I am very much against them.

The phrase 'very against' is nonstandard; 'very much against' or simply 'against' is more natural. This is a wording/pronoun-adjacent usage issue: 'them' is fine; the modifier before it needs correction. Use 'very much against them' or 'strongly against them.'

× Umm, no I don't.

✓ Umm, no, I don't.

This is punctuation-related for clarity: a comma after 'no' separates the interjection. While not strictly grammar type list, adding a comma improves natural spoken transcription. Keep responses concise and punctuated to reflect pauses.

× I usually type on my screen because uh, they're like 2 situations.

✓ I usually type on my screen because, uh, there are like two situations.

'They're' is a contraction of 'they are' and doesn't fit; the correct impersonal phrase is 'there are' for situations (plural). Also write numbers in words in formal text. Use 'there is/there are' depending on singular/plural.

× I either have my phone or my tablet, which is, which does not have the a keyboard at the moment.

✓ I either have my phone or my tablet, which does not have a keyboard at the moment.

The phrase contains an extra article 'the a' before 'keyboard.' Only one article is needed: 'a keyboard.' Remove the redundant article. Also simplify 'which is, which does not' to 'which does not.'

× I distinctly remember when I learned to type on a keyboard because I think it was umm, in my first grade or second grade computer class and our teacher just love for us to like do random stuff and play random games.

✓ I distinctly remember learning to type on a keyboard because I think it was, umm, in my first- or second-grade computer class and our teacher just loved for us to do random stuff and play random games.

Multiple issues: 'learned to type' can be more natural as 'learning to type' after 'remember.' Use hyphenation for 'first- or second-grade.' The verb 'love' should be past tense 'loved' to match 'was' and the context of a past class. Also remove filler 'like' where unnecessary. Use consistent past tense for past events.

× So that's how I initially learned how to type from a keyboard and I love it.

✓ So that's how I initially learned to type on a keyboard, and I loved it.

Use 'learned to type on a keyboard' (preposition 'on' preferable) and match past tense 'loved' to the past learning event. 'Initially learned how to type' is redundant; use 'learned to type' or 'learned how to type.' Ensure tense consistency: past event -> past feeling.

× Something that I did do to overcome my slow typing skills was I used to listen to movies and umm, type what I heard, uh, them speaking out loud and that helped me type quite quicker.

✓ Something I did to overcome my slow typing skills was listen to movies and type what I heard them speaking out loud, and that helped me type much quicker.

Problems: unnecessary 'did do' should be simplified to 'did' or omitted; 'was I used to listen' awkward — change to 'was listen' or 'I listened.' 'Type what I heard them speaking out loud' is awkward but acceptable; better: 'type what I heard them saying out loud.' 'Quite quicker' is nonstandard; use 'much quicker' or 'considerably faster.' Maintain past tense 'listened' if rephrasing as 'I listened.'
