Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Reduce repetition and hesitations, give a clear topic sentence and a brief reason, then one specific supporting detail. Use linking words (because, so) to connect ideas and avoid unnecessary filler words.

例: I prefer handwriting because I don't type quickly. As a computer science student, slow typing makes me anxious during exams, so I often write notes by hand to organize my thoughts more clearly.

提案: Start with a direct answer (laptop), then add one concise reason and one specific example. Correct small grammar issues (use 'have' -> 'has') and avoid filler sounds.

例: I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I don't own a desktop computer. For example, I only used desktops at university where there are many computers in the library.

提案: Give a direct time reference and one precise detail to support it. Remove fillers like 'uh' and 'I guess' to sound more confident.

例: I learned to type when I was in junior school, around age ten, during my computer science classes where we practiced basic typing drills.

提案: Name the resource clearly (or describe it) and explain exactly how you use it and how often. Use present simple consistently and avoid hedging phrases like 'I don't really remember'.

例: I improve my typing with an online typing practice site that gives timed drills and accuracy feedback. I practise on it for 20 minutes every day, focusing on accuracy first and then increasing speed.

× That's a big problem for me because I'm a computer science student and I always hate typing as I as because of my typing speed.

✓ That's a big problem for me because I'm a computer science student and I always hate typing because of my typing speed.

The phrase 'as I as because' contains redundant words and breaks sentence flow. This is not a third person singular verb issue but the intended correction removes redundancy and restores correct conjunction use. Suggestion: delete the extra 'as I as' and keep a single conjunction 'because' to show cause.

× Archive on the laptop keyboard because I don't even have a desktop.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard because I don't even have a desktop.

'Archive on the laptop keyboard' is ungrammatical and likely a mis-saying. This is a sentence structure error: the subject and verb are missing or incorrect. Replace 'Archive' with 'I type' to provide a clear subject and verb that match the question about typing devices.

× Umm I I I would only use a desktop when I was at school because our university have a lot of desktop in the library.

✓ Umm I would only use a desktop when I was at school because our university had a lot of desktops in the library.

'Our university have' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; 'university' is singular and requires 'has' in present or 'had' in past. The context refers to a past habit ('when I was at school'), so use past tense 'had'. Also 'a lot of desktop' should be plural 'desktops'. Suggestion: match tense across clause and make noun plural.

× I guess it was when I was still a pupil. Yeah, when I was, uh, still in the Junior School and, uh, I learned typing on the keyboard in my computer science class.

✓ I guess it was when I was still a pupil. Yeah, when I was still in junior school, I learned to type on the keyboard in my computer science class.

Use the correct verb pattern 'learned to type' rather than 'learned typing' to describe acquiring a skill. Also 'Junior School' can be lowercased as 'junior school' in general reference. Suggestion: use 'learned to type' for clarity when describing learning an action.

× I used a website called Typist or Typing, umm, I don't really remember the name of that website, but yeah, it can, uh, train and uh, help, uh, user improve their typing speed.

✓ I used a website called Typist or Typing, I don't really remember the exact name, but it could train and help users improve their typing speed.

'user' is incorrectly singular and lacks an article; context requires a plural general noun 'users' or 'a user'. Also modal 'can' is acceptable but past reference 'used' suggests 'could' better matches. Suggestion: use 'it could train and help users' to match tense and correct pronoun/number usage.

× I use that website for exercise every day.

✓ I used that website for exercises every day.

Earlier the student said they 'used' the website, so maintain past tense for consistency: 'used' rather than 'use'. Also 'exercise' should be plural 'exercises' when referring to repeated practice sessions. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and pluralize countable noun.
