✓ Well, I'm quite fond of typing because it is more effortless compared to the arduous task of handwriting, and it helps me do my work in a convenient and easy way, whereas handwriting takes a lot of effort and time.
The sentence had multiple adjective/adverb and word-form issues: 'effortless as compared to' is awkward so 'more effortless compared to' is clearer; 'arduous task handwriting' needs the preposition 'of' and the noun 'handwriting'; 'helps me to done' incorrectly uses past participle 'done' after 'helps me to' — use base verb 'do'; 'a lot of efforts' should be 'a lot of effort' (uncountable). Suggest using parallel structure and correct word forms to improve clarity.

✓ Well, I type on my laptop keyboard every day to improve my typing because when I first learned it, it was a challenging task for me and I had a lot of difficulty doing it.
Preposition and verb form issues: 'enhance my knowledge about typing' is wordy; use 'improve my typing'. 'When I learned it first' should be 'when I first learned it' for correct adverb placement. 'I feel much difficulty to do that task' is incorrect: use past tense 'I had a lot of difficulty doing it' and the gerund 'doing' after 'difficulty'. These changes fix preposition/adverb placement and verb forms.
× But now I feel easy to type on a laptop keyboard everyday.
✓ But now I find it easy to type on a laptop keyboard every day.
Adverb and adjective use: 'I feel easy' is incorrect; use 'I find it easy' or 'it is easy for me'. 'Everyday' (adjective) should be 'every day' (adverbial phrase). The correction places the adverb properly and uses the correct verb for describing perception.

Plural and pronoun agreement plus verb form: 'those lesson' should be plural 'those lessons'. 'It helped me' is unclear because the plural subject 'lessons' requires 'they helped me'. Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'helped me' and use base verb 'improve'. These are past tense narrative corrections ensuring subject-verb agreement.

✓ To be honest, I improved my typing skills with regular practice. Moreover, I practiced typing for about one or two sessions a day. I also use tips from social media apps to improve my typing skills quickly.
Incorrect use of reflexive and gerund phrases: 'engaged myself in typing in for two, one or two times once a day' is ungrammatical and confusing. Use 'practiced typing' or 'practiced typing for about one or two sessions a day'. This uses the correct verb + -ing form and removes unnecessary reflexive 'myself' and duplicated prepositions. The rest uses present tense 'use' appropriately.
