Grammar

Present tense issue

× I do prefer typing over handwriting because as I am in college and nowadays everything is digital so I feel like typing is what I mostly prefer over writing and writing.

✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because I am in college and everything is digital nowadays, so I mostly prefer typing to handwriting.

Redundant use of 'do prefer' and repetition 'writing and writing' are unnatural; present simple is appropriate for habitual preference. Also change 'prefer X over Y' to 'prefer X to Y' for standard usage, and move 'nowadays' to natural position. Suggestion: use simple present for habits and avoid unnecessary repetition.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I type on a laptop keyboard every day because uh as I am in college and I need to have my copies or assignments on my word doc uh so I type laptop on laptop everyday.

✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I am in college and I need to keep my notes and assignments in Word documents, so I type on my laptop every day.

Awkward phrase 'have my copies or assignments on my word doc' and repeated 'type laptop on laptop' need correction. Use 'keep... in Word documents' and 'type on my laptop'. Also capitalize 'Word' (software) and use present simple for habitual actions.

Past tense issue

× I guess I was at the age of 13 when I learnt typing on a keyboard, uh, because I had a computer teacher that time and she actually taught me how to increase my speed on keyboard because I used to lack a lot of speed while typing. And, uh, I guess that was the time.

✓ I think I was 13 when I learned to type on a keyboard because I had a computer teacher then who taught me how to increase my typing speed, since I used to be quite slow.

Use 'learned' (simple past) and 'learned to type' is the standard verb pattern. 'At the age of 13' can be simplified to 'was 13'. 'That time' should be 'then'. 'On keyboard' should be 'typing speed' or 'on the keyboard'. Also streamline repetition and filler words.

Incorrect use of articles

× So there is a website named monkey type and I try my best to type on that website every day. But basically that website is website helps you to increase your typing speed and your grammar as well.

✓ There is a website called Monkeytype and I try to practice on it every day. Basically, the website helps you improve your typing speed and your grammar as well.

Use 'a website called' or 'named' plus correct capitalization 'Monkeytype'. Remove redundant 'website is website' and use 'practice on it' rather than 'type on that website'. 'Helps you improve' is the correct verb structure. Also use articles and capitalization correctly.
