Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise, avoid hesitations and repetition, and use a clear topic sentence plus one or two supporting reasons with linking words. Replace fillers like 'uh' and repeated pronouns. Also correct grammar (e.g., 'since childhood', 'I have no idea how to type').

例: I prefer handwriting. Because I grew up without using computers much, I never learned to type well, so writing by hand feels more natural. In addition, handwriting helps me express ideas quickly and annotate notes more easily.

提案: Start with a direct answer, then give specific reasons and a plan. Avoid repetition and vague phrases like 'maybe'. Use linking words (however, because, so) to structure your reply.

例: No, I don't type every day. Because I work in a café, I rarely use a computer there, so I have few opportunities to practise. However, I plan to take an online typing course next month because I expect I will need better typing skills for future jobs.

提案: Give a clear time reference and expand with one specific detail about what you learned. Use correct tense and linking words to connect past learning with current situation.

例: I first learned to type in junior high during an IT class where we practiced basic typing and word processing. However, I don't use those skills often now, so my typing speed and accuracy have declined.

提案: Provide a direct strategy with specific actions and frequency, and avoid hesitations. Use linking words to explain effectiveness (for example, by, so). Mention tools or practice routines if possible.

例: I improve my typing by practising for 20 minutes every day with an online typing program and by composing emails on my laptop. This helps increase my speed and accuracy because I get regular, focused practice.

× I prefer handwriting 'cause, uh, I, I didn't.

✓ I prefer handwriting because I didn't (learn to type).

The original uses informal 'cause and an incomplete clause 'I didn't' which leaves the action unspecified. This is a sentence structure error and incorrect conjunction use. Use 'because' for formal speech and complete the clause by specifying the action: 'I didn't learn to type' or 'I didn't use computers.' This clarifies meaning and fixes sentence structure.

× I haven't used computer from kids so I have no idea how to type it.

✓ I haven't used a computer since I was a child, so I have no idea how to type.

Errors: missing article 'a', wrong preposition 'from', and imprecise time expression 'kids'. Use present perfect with 'since' plus a time point: 'since I was a child'. Also 'type it' is unnatural; 'how to type' suffices. Correct form: 'I haven't used a computer since I was a child.'

× But handwriting it's for me easier to express something on the note and that's nice for me.

✓ But handwriting is easier for me to express my ideas on a note, and I like that.

Problems: unnecessary pronoun 'it' after 'handwriting' and awkward word order 'it's for me easier'. Correct structure: 'X is easier for me to ...' Also replace 'something' with 'my ideas' and 'that's nice for me' with 'I like that' for natural phrasing.

× I don't because I'm working at the cafe and I don't have any opportunity to do that.

✓ I don't, because I work at a cafe and I don't have any opportunity to do it.

Use simple present 'I work' to describe habitual or current employment rather than present continuous unless emphasizing ongoing action. 'Do that' is vague; use 'do it' to refer to typing. Also include commas for clarity.

× But I I want to practice typing 'cause I don't know how to do that.

✓ But I want to practice typing because I don't know how to do it.

Remove duplicated 'I'. Use 'because' instead of colloquial 'cause' and 'do it' for clarity. 'Practice typing' is correct gerund usage. This fixes cohesion and formality.

× Maybe I will need it in the future.

✓ Maybe I will need it in the future.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No correction needed. It appropriately uses 'will' to express future possibility.

× When I was a junior high school there was AIT class and I used a computer and I practice a bit for typing, but now I don't use very much.

✓ When I was in junior high school, there was an AIT class where I used a computer and practiced typing a bit, but now I don't use it much.

Multiple issues: missing preposition 'in' before 'junior high school', missing article 'an' before 'AIT class', awkward clause order, wrong verb tense 'practice' should be past 'practiced', and 'use very much' is awkward—use 'use it much'. Also add commas and 'where' to connect clauses naturally.

× How do I improve my typing? Uh, I don't type very much but it is helps me if I type e-mail on the laptop.

✓ How do I improve my typing? Well, I don't type very much, but it helps me if I type emails on the laptop.

Errors: unnecessary 'is' before 'helps' (subject-verb agreement), 'e-mail' pluralized to 'emails' or 'email' as a mass noun, and add commas for clarity. 'Well' is preferable to filler 'Uh' in written correction. Use 'it helps me if I type emails' for natural phrasing and correct verb agreement.
