Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and coherent: state your preference clearly in one topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid self-corrections and repetition. Use correct grammar (e.g., “I hesitate about my spelling,” “I mix up letters”).

例: I prefer typing to handwriting because my handwriting is messy and I often worry about spelling. For example, when I write by hand I sometimes mix up letters, so typing helps me correct mistakes quickly and produces neater work.

提案: Give a direct answer first, then clarify. Use clearer phrasing and correct word choice (e.g., “either,” “layout”). Limit to two to three supporting sentences and use a linking word like “although” or “because.”

例: I use either a desktop or a laptop keyboard every day because I work on both. Although some keys are in slightly different positions, the basic layout is the same, so I can type comfortably on both.

提案: Give a clear time reference and one concise reason with correct tense and vocabulary. Use linking words like “because” and avoid fillers. Be specific about what helped you learn (e.g., online videos, practice).

例: I learned to type when I was six because I was curious and watched beginner typing videos online. After that, I practiced regularly and gradually became more comfortable with the keyboard.

提案: Organize your answer: start with a topic sentence stating how you improve, then give two specific methods with linking phrases (e.g., “for example,” “also”). Correct grammar (e.g., “I improve my typing every day,” “I play games at night”). Avoid vague phrases and repetition.

例: I improve my typing by practicing every day. For example, I read articles and type questions I’m curious about, and I also play typing games at night to increase my speed and accuracy.

× I prefer typing because my handwriting is such a mess, like I messed up every word and I hesitate if my spelling is right and sometimes I'm mixed up the letters on every word.

✓ I prefer typing because my handwriting is such a mess; I mess up every word, I hesitate about whether my spelling is correct, and sometimes I mix up the letters in every word.

Pronoun and verb forms are inconsistent: 'I messed up' (past) conflicts with present habitual meaning; 'I hesitate if' should be 'hesitate about whether'; 'I'm mixed up the letters' is incorrect pronoun/voice and should be 'I mix up the letters.' Use consistent present tense for habits and correct verb patterns and prepositions. Suggestions: use present simple for habitual actions, use 'hesitate about whether' or 'hesitate to say', and use active voice 'I mix up' rather than passive-like 'I'm mixed up.'

× That's why I basically prefer hand.

✓ That's why I basically prefer handwriting.

The noun 'hand' is incorrect here; the speaker intends 'handwriting.' This is a word choice/pronoun/substitution error. Suggestion: use the correct noun 'handwriting' or phrase 'writing by hand.'

× I mean typing.

✓ I mean typing.

This fragment is acceptable as a spoken clarification; no grammatical change needed. If expanded for formality, use 'I mean, typing.' No error according to the allowed list; kept as is.

× I actually type on anything desktop or laptop because it's still the same some some keys are on a different position, but it's actual design and it doesn't matter for me.

✓ I actually type on either a desktop or a laptop because they're mostly the same; some keys are in different positions, but that's just the design and it doesn't matter to me.

Multiple issues: 'anything desktop or laptop' is incorrect — use 'either a desktop or a laptop.' 'It's still the same' should refer to 'they're mostly the same.' 'Different position' needs plural 'positions.' 'It's actual design' should be 'that's just the design.' Also preposition 'matter for me' is better as 'matter to me.' Suggestions: use parallel structures, correct determiners ('a/an'), and proper pronoun agreement for plural subjects.

× I learned it when I was 6 because I was interested in what and watching some videos in in the Internet and that's where I start to improve myself and got used to the keyboard.

✓ I learned it when I was six because I was interested and watched some videos on the Internet; that's where I started to improve and got used to the keyboard.

Tense inconsistencies: mixing past continuous and present forms. Use past simple 'watched' and 'started' to match 'learned' and 'got used to.' Also preposition 'on the Internet' is correct. Remove extraneous words ('in what'). Suggestions: keep past events in past tense and use correct prepositions ('on the Internet').

× I'm, I improve my typing to everyday because every day I always type on some stuff that I'm curious about in the Internet, like what's this, what's that, How do I do this and how do I do that night play some games.

✓ I improve my typing every day because I always type about things I'm curious about on the Internet, like 'what's this' or 'how do I do this,' and sometimes I play games at night.

Incorrect auxiliary 'I'm,' wrong preposition 'in the Internet,' and awkward phrasing 'type on some stuff.' Use present simple 'I improve' or 'I work on my typing' for habitual action; place adverb 'every day' next to verb. Use 'on the Internet.' Separate clauses and correct sentence flow; 'night play some games' should be 'play games at night.' Suggestions: use clear subject-verb structure for habits, correct prepositions, and proper word order for time expressions.

× And that's how I get used to it.

✓ And that's how I got used to it.

Context refers to past process of becoming accustomed, so past tense 'got used to' is appropriate rather than present 'get used to.' Suggestion: match tense to the timeline; use past tense when describing how you learned a past skill.

× I type some simple words in similar world words and I got used to it.

✓ I typed some simple, similar words and I got used to it.

Mixing present 'I type' with past 'I got used to it' creates a tense inconsistency. Use past simple 'typed' to describe the past practice. Also 'world' should be 'word' and adjective order: 'simple, similar words.' Suggestions: maintain consistent tense and correct word choice ('word' not 'world').

× And sometimes I have mastered my skill.

✓ And sometimes I master my skill.

'Have mastered' suggests a present perfect completed action that conflicts with 'sometimes.' If the speaker means occasional moments of mastery, use simple present 'I master my skill' (though better: 'I sometimes feel I've mastered the skill'). If they mean they have achieved mastery, use 'I have mastered the skill.' Suggestion: choose tense based on intended meaning; for repeated experiences use present simple or for completed achievement use present perfect with a clear context.
