Did you ever write a story when you were a child?
Candidate
I used to write a lot of stories during my childhood, particularly when I was doing my 8th grade. We used to have a subject called English language where we are supposed to write different stories based on the question they give. So I used to imagine different kinds of stories on my head and put them on paper. It was a fun task to do.

Uhm, I personally like horror or thriller genre stories because they keep me on my edge and they keep me thinking what what what's going to happen next. So that I like that kind of curiosity. Curiosity.

Grammar
× When I was a child I preferred a reading stories, but now I prefer listening to stories.
✓ When I was a child I preferred reading stories, but now I prefer listening to stories.
The phrase 'a reading stories' is incorrect because 'reading stories' is an uncountable activity and does not require the article 'a'. Removing 'a' corrects the quantifier usage.
× it's become more easier, easy to listen to stories whenever you can through the mobile phones or laptops.
✓ it's become easier to listen to stories whenever you can through mobile phones or laptops.
The phrase 'more easier' is incorrect because 'easier' is already a comparative adjective and does not need 'more'. Also, 'easy' is redundant here. The correct form is 'easier'. Additionally, 'the mobile phones or laptops' should be 'mobile phones or laptops' as a general reference.
