× I prefer typing because it is faster to do that and we live in technology phase of life so handwriting is not really reliable on these days.
✓ I prefer typing because it is faster, and we live in a technological age, so handwriting is not really reliable these days.
Errors: 'in technology phase of life' uses wrong preposition and awkward noun phrase; 'on these days' should be 'these days'. Also word form: 'technological age' is natural. Suggestion: use 'in' + 'age' or 'era' and omit 'on' before 'these days'. Use commas to join clauses.
× No, I don't have one discover laptop keyboard every day because I don't have a job that needs laptop.
✓ No, I don't use a laptop keyboard every day because I don't have a job that requires one.
Errors: 'have one discover laptop keyboard' is ungrammatical ('discover' is incorrect here). 'needs laptop' should be 'requires one' or 'requires a laptop'. Suggestion: simplify to 'use a laptop keyboard' and use 'requires' for jobs.
× I'm a pharmacist and I work in a pharmacy. The only system that I need is the computer screen and their, uh, pharmacy system.
✓ I'm a pharmacist and I work in a pharmacy. The only system I need is the computer screen and their pharmacy system.
Error: 'their' is acceptable for a singular generic antecedent but here it sounds disfluent due to filler 'uh' and comma. Remove 'uh' and extra comma. Suggestion: make sentence concise: 'their pharmacy system' or 'the pharmacy's system'.
× And I find laptop typing is easy actually and very useful.
✓ And I find typing on a laptop actually easy and very useful.
Order: adverb 'actually' should be placed before 'easy' or after 'find'. Also 'laptop typing' is awkward; use 'typing on a laptop'. Suggestion: place adverbs where they clearly modify the adjective or verb.
× Actually, it's a skill. It's not something you learn. It's a skill step by step.
✓ Actually, typing is a skill. You don't learn it all at once; you develop it step by step.
Repetition and unclear reference: 'it's' is ambiguous. Improve clarity by specifying 'typing' and using 'develop' instead of repeating 'it's a skill'. Use contrast 'you don't learn it all at once'.
× When you keep typing sending message, you get used to it and then your skill reads upper levels until you become professional in typing.
✓ When you keep typing and sending messages, you get used to it and then your skill improves until you become proficient at typing.
Errors: missing conjunction 'and', plural 'messages', wrong verb 'reads upper levels' should be 'improves' or 'reaches higher levels', and 'professional in typing' is unnatural — use 'proficient at typing'. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual actions and correct collocations.
× For example, sending a message on e-mail.
✓ For example, sending an email.
'on e-mail' is incorrect; use 'email' as a noun. 'a message on e-mail' is wordy. Suggestion: use 'sending an email' or 'sending a message by email'.
× Actually, as I said, it's an it's a skill like by practicing, by sending message, talking to your friends, by chatting.
✓ Actually, as I said, it's a skill you develop by practicing: by sending messages, talking to your friends, and chatting.
Errors: repetition 'it's an it's a skill', incorrect gerund phrases and missing parallel structure. Use parallel gerunds 'sending', 'talking', 'chatting' and plural 'messages'. Suggestion: use a colon and list with parallel forms.
× All of these tools help help to improve your typing.
✓ All of these activities help to improve your typing.
Errors: duplicated 'help', 'tools' is possible but 'activities' fits better; 'help to improve' can be 'help improve'. Suggestion: remove duplication and choose correct noun; use 'help improve' for concision.
