Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make your answer grammatically correct, concise and coherent. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Correct verb forms and pronouns, avoid trailing or incomplete sentences.

例: I prefer handwriting because it feels more personal and warm. For example, when I receive a handwritten letter from a friend, I can sense her emotions more clearly, so the message feels more meaningful.

提案: Give a direct, grammatical response and one clear reason with a specific example. Use correct time expressions and avoid unclear phrases. Keep it within a few sentences.

例: No, I don't type every day. I usually use my laptop three or four times a week to take notes at university, for example during lectures when I need to record key points.

提案: Use correct past-tense forms and finish your thought. Provide a clear time reference and one specific detail about the experience, linked logically.

例: I learned to type when I was in elementary school. At that time we used English keyboards, which were difficult for Japanese students at first, but regular practice helped me improve.

提案: Be specific about your methods and use consistent verb tenses. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two concise, linked examples of how you practice.

例: I improve my typing by practicing on English keyboards daily. For example, I switch my smartphone to an English layout and force myself to type messages in English and even in Japanese using the English keyboard to build speed and accuracy.

× I prefer handwriting because it make me feel warm.

✓ I prefer handwriting because it makes me feel warm.

The subject 'it' requires the third person singular verb form. Use 'makes' (adds -s) for present simple with third person singular subjects.

× For example, when I get a letter from my friend which is written with handwriting, I can feel her feelings more and I can be.

✓ For example, when I get a letter from my friend written by hand, I can feel her emotions more clearly.

The original has awkward structure and an incomplete clause ('I can be'). 'Which is written with handwriting' is wordy; use 'written by hand'. 'Feel her feelings more' is repetitive; use 'feel her emotions more clearly'. Ensure sentence completes the idea.

× No, I don't, but I type my laptop every three or four days a week because sometimes I have to write down my note in my university.

✓ No, I don't, but I type on my laptop every three or four days a week because sometimes I have to write down my notes at university.

'Type' requires the preposition 'on' for devices. 'Laptop' needs 'my' is fine. Use plural 'notes' for generic countable items. Use 'at university' for location. Also 'three or four days a week' already indicates frequency; keep consistent.

× For example, when I take our class I usually use to.

✓ For example, when I attend our class I usually do.

The original is incomplete and uses 'use to' incorrectly. 'Attend class' is the correct collocation. If meaning is habitual action, 'I usually do' completes the sentence; otherwise 'I usually use it' could be used if referring to the laptop or keyboard.

× I learn how to type keyboard when I was in elementary school.

✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in elementary school.

Use past tense 'learned' for a past time reference. Include the preposition 'on' with 'keyboard' and the article 'a' before 'keyboard'.

× In my elementary school I have to use English keyboard which is difficult for Japanese but.

✓ At my elementary school I had to use an English keyboard, which was difficult for a Japanese student.

Use 'at' with 'school' and past tense 'had to' to match past context. Include the article 'an' before 'English keyboard'. 'Which is difficult for Japanese' is vague; specify 'for a Japanese student'. Remove trailing 'but' and complete the thought.

× I've improved my typing skill by using English keyboard every day.

✓ I've improved my typing skills by using an English keyboard every day.

Use plural 'skills' which is more natural. Include the article 'an' before 'English keyboard'. Present perfect is acceptable here to indicate a change up to now.

× For example, I change my keyboard on my smartphone and try to use everyday when I send a message to my friend and also even I send a message in Japanese.

✓ For example, I change the keyboard on my smartphone and try to use it every day when I send a message to my friends, even when I send a message in Japanese.

Use 'the keyboard' or 'my keyboard' and include the object pronoun 'it' after 'use'. 'Everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverb). Use plural 'friends' or clarify singular. Reorder clause 'even when I send a message in Japanese' for clarity and correct conjunction use.
