× I prefer typing than handwriting because it is more faster than handwriting and, uh, it is more efficient when I need to finish my homework as quickly as possible.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because it is faster than handwriting and it is more efficient when I need to finish my homework as quickly as possible.
'Prefer' is followed by 'to' not 'than'; use 'prefer A to B'. 'More faster' is redundant (double comparative); use 'faster' or 'more efficient'. Keep comparisons parallel and avoid double comparatives.
× Oh sure, I type on laptop keyboard every day because I'm preparing for the IELTS writing test.
✓ Oh sure, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm preparing for the IELTS writing test.
Countable singular nouns like 'laptop keyboard' require an article ('a' or 'the'). Use 'a laptop keyboard' for a non-specific single keyboard.
× I practice typing essays and doing mock tests online most evenings, so I get used to writing quickly and accurately.
✓ I practice typing essays and do mock tests online most evenings, so I am getting used to writing quickly and accurately.
Parallel verb forms are required: use 'practice' + bare infinitive or gerund consistently; 'practice typing essays and do mock tests' is more natural. 'Get used to' describes an ongoing process, so present continuous 'am getting used to' fits better.
× Umm, when I was in primary school, uh, we had a computer class, so I learned typing in the class, uh, usually. Play.
✓ Umm, when I was in primary school, we had a computer class, so I learned to type in class, usually.
Use 'learned to' + base verb: 'learned to type'. 'Typing' as a noun is possible but 'learned to type' is more natural. 'In the class' -> 'in class' is more idiomatic. Remove stray word 'Play'.
× I usually play typing games for improving my typing skills.
✓ I usually play typing games to improve my typing skills.
Use purpose infinitive 'to improve' rather than 'for improving'. 'For' + gerund is possible but 'to improve' is more natural for expressing purpose.
× Uh, it is much fun and enjoyable so I love it.
✓ Uh, it is a lot of fun and enjoyable, so I love it.
'Much fun' is not used alone; say 'a lot of fun'. Also keep parallelism: both 'a lot of fun' (noun phrase) and 'enjoyable' (adjective) are acceptable; add a comma before 'so'.
