× I think it's maybe because in this era that everything run by technologies and typing, it's the way that easier than high write handwriting.
✓ I think it's maybe because in this era everything is run by technology and typing; it's a way that is easier than writing by hand.
Errors: incorrect prepositions ('by technologies' -> 'by technology'), missing auxiliary and passive construction ('everything run' -> 'everything is run'), awkward phrase 'high write handwriting' should be 'writing by hand' or 'handwriting'. Suggestion: use correct preposition 'by' with 'technology' (uncountable), include auxiliary 'is' for passive, and replace awkward phrases with standard expressions. Ensure subject-verb agreement and use clear comparative structure 'easier than writing by hand'.
× By the way, handwriting it's really meaningful when you wrote a letter or something meaning.
✓ By the way, handwriting is really meaningful when you write a letter or something meaningful.
Errors: redundant pronoun/verb contraction ('handwriting it's' -> 'handwriting is'), incorrect verb tense ('wrote' past instead of general present 'write'), and wrong adjective form ('meaning' -> 'meaningful'). Suggestion: use present simple for general statements ('handwriting is... when you write'), avoid contractions that create redundancy, and choose correct adjective 'meaningful'.
× Umm, I think like we have many device that we have to type like smartphone or iPad or and also computers.
✓ Umm, I think we have many devices that we have to type on, like smartphones, iPads, and computers.
Errors: singular/plural mismatch ('many device' -> 'many devices'), missing preposition for action ('type on'), inconsistent plural forms for examples and extra conjunction 'or and'. Suggestion: make countable nouns plural when used with 'many', include appropriate preposition 'type on', and list examples with parallel plural forms separated by commas and 'and'.
× So when we want to communicate to each other, we have to type.
✓ So when we want to communicate with each other, we have to type.
Errors: incorrect preposition 'communicate to' should be 'communicate with'. Suggestion: use 'communicate with' for reciprocal communication; 'communicate to' is used for one-way communication to an audience.
× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in primary school.
Errors: 'learned how to type' is not wrong but less concise than 'learned to type'; this keeps past tense appropriate. Suggestion: use 'learned to [verb]' for succinctness. No tense change needed.
× Umm, my school believed that the role that driven by technology, so they require all children to study, listen about computer and basic practice, especially typing skills.
✓ Umm, my school believed in the role of technology, so they required all children to study computers and basic practices, especially typing skills.
Errors: incorrect phrase 'believed that the role that driven by technology' should be 'believed in the role of technology'; wrong verb forms ('driven' misplaced), wrong verb tense/agreement ('require' -> 'required' to match past), awkward nouns ('listen about computer'). Suggestion: use 'believed in', change verbs to past for consistency, use 'study computers' or 'receive basic computer practice', and use 'practices' or 'practice sessions'.
× I think I improve my typing skill by practicing.
✓ I think I improve my typing skills by practicing.
Errors: 'typing skill' is better as plural 'typing skills' when referring to overall ability. Present simple 'I improve' is acceptable for habitual action; keep consistent. Suggestion: use plural 'skills' and optionally say 'I improve my typing by practicing regularly.'
× I think something that practice everyday will improve and my school encourage everyone to type every day so that's why I can.
✓ I think something you practice every day will improve, and my school encourages everyone to type every day, so that's why I can.
Errors: missing subject ('something that practice' -> 'something you practice' or 'what you practice'), incorrect adverb spelling 'everyday' (should be 'every day' when meaning each day), subject-verb agreement ('my school encourage' -> 'my school encourages'), and awkward ending 'so that's why I can' (better 'so that's why I can do it' or 'so that's why I can type well'). Suggestion: use correct relative clause or pronoun, correct 'every day', ensure verb agrees with singular subject, and complete the idea after 'can'.
× So when we want to communicate to each other, we have to type. It's the best way to communicate.
✓ So when we want to communicate with each other, we have to type. It's the best way to communicate.
Errors: first sentence corrected earlier for preposition; second sentence 'It's the best way to communicate.' is grammatically correct. No third-person singular change needed beyond prior fix. Suggestion: ensure preposition 'with' is used as above.
