Typing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Make the answer natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (use either “enjoy writing” or “enjoy to write” — native use is “enjoy writing”), and give one specific supporting reason. Avoid redundant phrases like “I know that makes sense only to me.” Use one linking word if adding a second point.

예시: I prefer handwriting. I find that writing by hand helps me think more clearly because the slower pace gives me time to organize my ideas, and as a result my notes feel more personal and memorable.

제안: This answer is clear and direct but can be slightly improved by combining sentences and adding a brief detail. Use a linking word to make it more coherent.

예시: Yes, I do. I use a desktop for work and answer emails on it almost every day, so I’m very comfortable with that keyboard.

제안: Be concise and organized: give a clear topic sentence with an approximate time or context, then support with one specific reason. Avoid repetition and incomplete sentences. Use linking words (e.g., because, so) to connect ideas and correct tense and phrasing (e.g., “my parents were office workers, so I learned early”).

예시: I can’t remember the exact time, but I learned to type when I was a child because both my parents worked in offices, so I often practiced on their computers and picked it up naturally.

제안: Structure the answer with a clear topic sentence followed by a brief explanation. Be specific about the method and its benefit, and use linking words to make the sequence clear.

예시: I improved my typing with a mnemonic song I learned at school; because the song matched the key layout, it helped me remember key positions, which made my typing faster and more accurate.

× I enjoy to and write things.

✓ I enjoy writing things.

The verb 'enjoy' should be followed by a gerund (-ing form), not an infinitive. Use 'enjoy writing' rather than 'enjoy to write' or the mixed incorrect form 'enjoy to and write'. Suggestion: learn common verb patterns (e.g., enjoy + -ing, decide + to-infinitive) and practice replacing infinitives with gerunds after verbs that require them.

× I prefer to use my hands to write things because I'm able to collect ideas from my brain more easily.

✓ I prefer to write by hand because I'm able to collect ideas more easily.

The phrase 'use my hands to write things' is wordy and slightly unnatural; 'write by hand' or 'handwrite' is commonly used. Also 'collect ideas from my brain' is redundant; 'collect ideas' or 'get ideas' is clearer. Suggestion: prefer concise, natural phrasing and avoid unnecessary prepositional phrases.

× I know that makes sense only to me, but that is just how I feel.

✓ I know that may only make sense to me, but that's just how I feel.

Word order and modality are awkward. 'Makes sense only to me' is understandable but 'may only make sense to me' sounds more natural and matches the speaker's uncertainty. Also contracting 'that is' to 'that's' is natural in spoken English. Suggestion: use modal verbs like 'may' for hedging and place 'only' before the phrase it modifies for clarity.

× Yes I do. I have a desktop that I use for work and I answer emails on it almost every day.

✓ Yes, I do. I have a desktop that I use for work, and I answer emails on it almost every day.

This sentence mainly needs punctuation for clarity: a comma after 'Yes' and a comma before 'and' joining independent clauses. No major grammar type from the list other than punctuation; categorized as 'There be issue' is not ideal but punctuation improves readability. Suggestion: include commas to separate interjections and independent clauses.

× This is a very funny question because I can't exactly recall when I exactly started writing or typing.

✓ That's a funny question because I can't exactly recall when I started writing or typing on a keyboard.

Redundant use of 'exactly' twice is awkward. Use contraction 'that's' for spoken tone and specify 'on a keyboard' to match the question. The past tense 'started' is correct; correction focuses on word choice and conciseness. Suggestion: avoid repeating adverbs and keep tense consistent.

× I mean on a keyboard.

✓ I mean, when I first used a keyboard.

The fragment 'I mean on a keyboard.' is incomplete. Expanding to a full clause clarifies meaning and fixes sentence structure. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments by supplying subject and verb when clarifying.

× It just was something I grew up knowing how to do.

✓ It was just something I grew up knowing how to do.

Word order 'It just was' is acceptable but 'It was just' is more natural. No pronoun error per se; corrected for natural spoken word order. Suggestion: prefer common word order in spoken English.

× Probably this is because my parents were all office workers.

✓ It's probably because both my parents were office workers.

Use 'it's probably' for spoken tone, and 'both my parents' is clearer than 'my parents were all' (which implies more than two). Past tense 'were' is correct. Suggestion: use precise quantifiers and natural contractions in speech.

× They used to.

✓ They used to work in offices.

The fragment 'They used to.' is incomplete and unclear. Completing the idea clarifies the meaning and fixes sentence structure. Suggestion: avoid leaving 'used to' without its action in spoken replies.

× My mom used to respond to a lot of emails when my dad was always sending a lot of emails today.

✓ My mom used to respond to a lot of emails, and my dad always sent a lot of emails too.

The original mixes past habits with the present adverb 'today', causing tense and meaning confusion. Replace 'was always sending' and 'today' with simple past 'always sent' to indicate habitual past actions. Also clarify coordination with 'and'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent when describing past habits and avoid inserting present-time adverbs that confuse the timeframe.

× There is this song I used to sing growing up.

✓ There was a song I used to sing while growing up.

'There is this song I used to sing growing up' mixes present 'is' with past habit 'used to'. Use past 'was' to match 'used to', and 'while growing up' clarifies timing. Suggestion: ensure tense consistency between 'there is/was' and 'used to'.

× It was something that I was taught in class, but coincidentally it was the way the kids were arranged on the keyboard.

✓ It was something I was taught in class; coincidentally, it matched the way the kids were arranged on the keyboard.

Original is wordy and slightly awkward. Using a semicolon or coordinating conjunction and 'matched' makes the relationship clearer. Suggestion: tighten sentences and choose verbs that express the relationship between clauses clearly.

× It helps me to understand where keys are on the keyboard in order to help my typing.

✓ It helped me learn where the keys are on the keyboard and improved my typing.

Mixes present 'helps' with past context of singing as a childhood activity. Use past 'helped' for consistency. Also simplify phrasing: 'learn where the keys are' and 'improved my typing' are clearer. Suggestion: keep tenses consistent within the same narrative and avoid repetitive 'help' verbs.
