× Well currently to be honest I don't write as much as a lot in the past decades as I am studying at university, I work on on computer while in the past when I was studying at school I write wrote a lot.
✓ Well, currently, to be honest, I don't write as much as I did in the past decades because I am studying at university. I work on a computer, while in the past, when I was studying at school, I wrote a lot.
The sentence mixes present and past tenses incorrectly. 'I don't write as much as a lot in the past decades' is unclear and ungrammatical. It should be 'I don't write as much as I did in the past decades' to correctly compare present and past actions. Also, 'I write wrote a lot' is incorrect; 'wrote' is the past tense and should be used alone for past actions. The sentence also needs proper punctuation and article use ('a computer').
× Well currently to be honest I don't write as much as a lot in the past decades as I am studying at university, I work on on computer while in the past when I was studying at school I write wrote a lot.
✓ Well, currently, to be honest, I don't write as much as I did in the past decades because I am studying at university. I work on a computer, while in the past, when I was studying at school, I wrote a lot.
The phrase 'I write wrote a lot' incorrectly combines present and past tense verbs. The correct past tense verb 'wrote' should be used alone to describe past actions. Also, 'work on on computer' contains a repeated preposition and missing article; it should be 'work on a computer.'
× I work on on computer while in the past when I was studying at school I write wrote a lot.
✓ I work on a computer, while in the past, when I was studying at school, I wrote a lot.
The phrase 'work on on computer' has a repeated preposition 'on' and lacks the article 'a' before 'computer'. The correct phrase is 'work on a computer.' Proper preposition and article use is essential for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Well, if I tell the truth, I really enjoy writing my personal experiences and life stories.
✓ Well, to tell the truth, I really enjoy writing my personal experiences and life stories.
The phrase 'if I tell the truth' is incorrect in this context; the correct expression is 'to tell the truth' to indicate honesty. 'If' suggests a conditional which is not intended here.
× It allows me to understand myself better and gain energy for my future prospects.
✓ It allows me to understand myself better and gain energy towards my future prospects.
The preposition 'for' is less appropriate here; 'towards' better expresses the idea of gaining energy aimed at future prospects. However, 'for' is not strictly incorrect but 'towards' is more precise.
× And it helps me to avoid the risks of not understanding.
✓ And it helps me to avoid the risks of misunderstanding.
The phrase 'risks of not understanding' is awkward. The noun 'misunderstanding' is more appropriate to express the idea of avoiding risks related to lack of understanding.
× Yes, I believe the things I write would change over time because I gain more experience and knowledge during the year.
✓ Yes, I believe the things I write will change over time because I gain more experience and knowledge during the year.
The modal verb 'would' is used incorrectly here to express future certainty. 'Will' is the correct modal verb to indicate a future change that the speaker believes will happen.
× In the past, I wrote in a simple way and use basic vocabulary.
✓ In the past, I wrote in a simple way and used basic vocabulary.
The verb 'use' should be in the past tense 'used' to maintain tense consistency with 'wrote' when describing past actions.
× However, now I try to use advanced vocabulary and.
✓ However, now I try to use advanced vocabulary.
The sentence ends abruptly with 'and' without completing the thought, which is a sentence structure error. The sentence should end after 'vocabulary' or continue with a complete idea.

✓ Well, to be honest, as we live in a technological world, I mostly prefer typing rather than handwriting when I write because it is more convenient and enjoyable, especially when I am busy.
The phrase 'when I am writing' is repeated unnecessarily. Using 'when I write' once is sufficient and avoids redundancy. Also, removing the second 'when I am writing' improves sentence flow.
