Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Thí sinh
Well, I usually prefer typing because it takes quite a short time to enter whole sentence in daily use. However, if I write a letter to my friends, I definitely write by hand because on handmade is more meaningful.

Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: 文法や語順の誤りを直し、発言を簡潔で自然な形にまとめましょう。例えば "takes quite a short time to enter whole sentence" は不自然なので "is much faster for everyday writing" のように言い換え、手書きに関する理由も明確に述べると良いです。また冗長な表現を避け、最大5文以内に収めてください。具体的には接続詞(however, because)を適切に使って論理的に繋げましょう。
Ví dụ: I prefer typing because it's much faster for everyday tasks. However, when I write a letter to a close friend, I usually write by hand because a handwritten letter feels more personal and thoughtful.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: 回答を整理して一貫性を持たせましょう。複数の情報(使用機器、目的、練習の成果)を短く分けて述べ、不要な繰り返しを避けること。語順や冠詞の誤り("I currently use UH typing" ならアプリ名と目的を明確に)を修正してください。接続語(and, so, because)を用いて文を流れ良く繋げると自然です。

Ví dụ: I never had formal typing lessons; I taught myself a few years ago by practicing regularly. Since then my speed has improved a lot, and I find typing more practical than handwriting for everyday tasks.
How do you improve your typing?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: 具体的な練習方法と頻度を明確に述べ、語順や時制を整えましょう。例えば "I recently used" は継続を示すなら現在完了進行形や現在形が適切です。また、アプリ名と会社名を簡潔に紹介し、どのような練習をしたか(lessons, drills, timed tests)を加えると説得力が増します。
Ví dụ: I use an app called Typing Up by a Japanese company, UMM. I practice with it for about 30 minutes every day, doing drills and timed tests, and that routine has significantly increased my typing speed.

✓ Well, I usually prefer typing because it takes quite a short time to enter a whole sentence in daily use.
『a』が抜けており、可算名詞'sentence'には不定冠詞が必要です。'enter whole sentence'は不自然なので'a whole sentence'とすることで意味が明確になります。
× However, if I write a letter to my friends, I definitely write by hand because on handmade is more meaningful.
✓ However, if I write a letter to my friends, I definitely write by hand because handmade items are more meaningful.
'on handmade'は誤用で、形容詞的表現としては'made by hand'や'noun phrase handmade items'が適切です。ここでは'more meaningful'の対象を明確にするため'nandmade items are'としました。

✓ Umm yes I do. I usually use my laptop; it's my own computer, and I currently use UH Typing to practice writing skills for the IELTS. Compared to the past, I practiced typing and I have become much faster.
長い文が句読点や動詞時制の不一致で読みにくくなっています。'use UH typing for practicing'は不自然で、目的には'to practice'を使います。また'compared to the past I practiced for typing and it became so fast'は時制と主語のつながりが不明瞭なので'Compared to the past, I practiced typing and I have become much faster'とし完了形で現在の結果を示します。
× Uh, well, I've never learned how to type, but I practiced typing independently for now.
✓ Uh, well, I've never had formal typing lessons, but I have been practicing typing independently until now.
'I've never learned'は意味は通るが'learned how to type'の自然な表現は'had formal typing lessons'です。また'for now'の代わりに' until now'や'up to now'を使い、現在完了進行形や完了形で継続を示す方が自然です。
× I can type so quickly, much faster than the past, and it is more useful than handwriting.
✓ I can type very quickly, much faster than before, and it is more useful than handwriting.
'so quickly'は口語的で問題ないが' much faster than the past'は不自然で、比較対象には'before'や'in the past'が適切です。'than the past'は不自然な英語表現です。

× I recently used this app for 30 minutes every day and for now I can type much faster than the past.
✓ I recently used this app for 30 minutes every day, and now I can type much faster than before.
'recently used this app for 30 minutes every day'は過去の習慣を示す表現としては'used to use'や'was using'がよいが、文を簡潔にするため'Recently I used this app for 30 minutes every day'とし、'for now'は不自然なので'now'に変更しました。また' much faster than the past'は' much faster than before'が自然です。
