× And also nowadays computer always have auto correction, it saved me from making stupid mistake like typo and may maybe make makes people.
✓ And also nowadays computers always have auto-correction; it saves me from making stupid mistakes like typos and maybe makes fewer mistakes for people.
Errors: subject-verb agreement (computer -> computers with 'have' or change verb to singular), third person singular verb form ('saved' should be present 'saves' to match general truth), plural forms for countable nouns ('mistake' -> 'mistakes', 'typo' -> 'typos'), and redundant/incorrect words ('may maybe make makes people' unclear). Suggestion: use plural 'computers' to match 'have', use present simple 'saves' for habitual fact, pluralize countable nouns, and simplify last clause to 'maybe makes fewer mistakes for people'.
× It depends what I'm doing for that day uh, if I sit out stay at home, I will type on my laptop uh, although I matched a Bluetooth uh keyboard for my laptop and if I was working umm, I am working, then I will.
✓ It depends on what I'm doing that day. If I stay at home, I type on my laptop; I have paired a Bluetooth keyboard with my laptop. If I am working away from home, I use a desktop.
Errors: incorrect verb forms and sentence structure. 'It depends what' should be 'It depends on what'; 'for that day' -> 'that day'; 'sit out stay at home' is ungrammatical; 'I matched a Bluetooth keyboard' uses wrong verb ('matched' is incorrect past choice), better 'paired' or 'connected'; inconsistent tense and unclear conditional. Suggestion: use present continuous/simple appropriately and 'depend on' structure; use 'paired/connected' for device setup; split into clear sentences or clauses.
× I learned how to type when I was really, really young. I remember back then we have computer class in the house in the school and we have homework as, uh, typing for several letters on the computer.
✓ I learned how to type when I was really, really young. I remember back then we had computer classes at school and we had homework to practice typing several letters on the computer.
Errors: inconsistent tense: 'I learned' (past) requires past 'we had' not present 'we have'; article/preposition issues: 'in the house in the school' unclear, likely 'at school'; 'homework as, uh, typing for several letters' should be 'homework to practice typing several letters'. Suggestion: keep past tense for memories, use 'had', 'at school', and clearer infinitive purpose 'homework to practice'.
× I remember I don't didn't like that very much because it's tedious.
✓ I remember I didn't like that very much because it was tedious.
Errors: double/mixed negation 'don't didn't' is incorrect; tense inconsistency: remember (present) referencing past preference should use past 'didn't'; 'it's tedious' should be past 'it was tedious' to match past context. Suggestion: use single past negative 'didn't' and past 'was' for consistency.
× I don't remember, I have a practice it like seriously, it just, I spend a lot of time on chatting apps so it's naturally getting speedy and uh yeah, it's just natural.
✓ I don't remember practicing seriously; I just spend a lot of time on chatting apps, so my typing speed improved naturally.
Errors: awkward phrasing and incorrect verb forms 'I have a practice it', mixed tenses 'don't remember' with unclear time reference, 'it's naturally getting speedy' ungrammatical. Suggestion: rephrase to concise statements: 'I don't remember practicing seriously' and use clear result clause 'so my typing speed improved naturally'.
