Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two brief specific reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition and fix sentence fragments (e.g., remove extra 'when', combine clauses properly).

例: I prefer typing because it’s faster and has helpful tools like spell-check and auto-save. However, I sometimes use handwriting when I don’t have a device or want to remember things better, since writing by hand can improve memory.

提案: Improve verb forms and sentence flow. Give a direct short answer, then add specific frequency and examples. Use linking words and correct past/present forms (e.g., 'visit my dad's house', 'do work or tasks'). Avoid short fragments.

例: No, I don't type on a laptop every day because I don't own one. Occasionally when I visit my dad's house, I use his laptop to do tasks like typing reports or school assignments. Otherwise, I usually type on my phone for messages and quick work.

提案: Correct tense and sentence structure. Provide a clear topic sentence with age, then explain briefly how you learned using linking words. Fix missing words and unclear phrases (e.g., 'my teacher taught me', 'practised at home on my laptop').

例: I learned to type when I was about 15 in an IT class at school, where my teacher taught us the basics. After class, I practised at home on my laptop to improve my speed and accuracy.

提案: Use clearer vocabulary and sentence order. State the main method first, then give specific activities and frequency. Replace unclear phrases ('typing culture', 'coping passages') with precise terms like 'copying passages' or 'typing exercises'.

例: I improve my typing mainly by copying passages from books into my laptop and doing online typing exercises. I also watch YouTube tutorials and practise for about 30 minutes a day to build speed and accuracy.

× However, handwriting is still viable when because when I don't have access to technology or I have to remember something.

✓ However, handwriting is still useful when I don't have access to technology or when I need to remember something.

The original sentence has redundant and incorrect conjunctions ('when because when') causing sentence structure errors and confusion. Use a single conjunction 'when' and parallel structure ('don't have access' and 'need to remember') to make the sentence clear and grammatically correct. Replace 'viable' with 'useful' for more natural collocation in this context.

× Because writing by hand can aid memory.

✓ I also write by hand because it can aid memory.

This fragment begins with 'Because' and is a sentence fragment lacking a main clause. Combine it with the previous sentence or convert it into a complete sentence with a subject and verb. The corrected version adds 'I also write by hand' to form a complete sentence and improves cohesion.

× No, I don't because I don't have a laptop.

✓ No, I don't; I don't have a laptop.

The original answer is understandable but the conjunction 'because' is unnecessary after 'No, I don't.' A semicolon or separate sentence is clearer. The problem is stylistic/prepositional linking rather than grammar per se; the correction improves fluency.

× However, sometimes when I met my dad's house, I use his laptop to do some works or tasks.

✓ However, sometimes when I visit my dad's house, I use his laptop to do some work or tasks.

'Met my dad's house' is incorrect; use 'visit my dad's house.' Also 'work' is an uncountable noun here, so 'some work' is better than 'some works.' The phrase 'do some work or tasks' is redundant; keep 'work or tasks' if emphasizing different items.

× Tasks that are easier on a keyboard.

✓ Those are tasks that are easier to do on a keyboard.

The fragment lacks a verb and needs rephrasing to be a complete sentence. Use 'easier to do on a keyboard' to express the idea and include a subject if used independently.

× Although most of the time I manage everything by my phone.

✓ Although most of the time I manage everything on my phone.

Use 'on my phone' instead of 'by my phone' to indicate the device used. Also the original is a sentence fragment; include it with the previous sentence or make it complete. The correction keeps present tense and fixes the preposition.

× I've learned.

✓ I've learned how to type.

'I've learned' is incomplete; it requires an object or clause. Adding 'how to type' completes the thought and fits the question asking when the student learned to type.

× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was about 15 years old when I was at school and I had IT class and my teacher me how to use it.

✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 15 years old at school; I had an IT class and my teacher showed me how to use it.

Original has tense and structure problems: use 'learned to type' (common collocation), avoid repeating 'when', and correct the missing verb 'showed' instead of 'me how to use it.' The correction clarifies time reference and fixes the missing verb.

× And I came to my house and I improved with this scale by my laptop.

✓ When I came home, I improved my skills on my laptop.

'Came to my house' is awkward; 'came home' is natural. 'Improved with this scale by my laptop' is unclear; likely intended 'improved my skills on my laptop.' The correction fixes prepositions and clarifies meaning.

× I improved my typing bar by doing coping passages from my books into my laptop and practicing with typing culture and also watching YouTube videos to practice for at least 30 minutes a day to build speed and accuracy.

✓ I improved my typing by copying passages from my books into my laptop, practicing typing regularly, and watching YouTube videos; I practice for at least 30 minutes a day to build speed and accuracy.

Multiple issues: 'improved my typing bar' is incorrect ('bar' unnecessary), 'coping' should be 'copying,' and 'practicing with typing culture' is unclear—use 'practicing typing regularly.' The correction fixes verb forms, word choice, and creates clearer parallel structure. Maintain present/past consistency by stating how improvement was achieved and the current practice routine.
