× It's also a good way to talk with.
✓ It's also a good way to communicate with others.
The original sentence ends with a preposition 'with' and lacks an object. 'Talk with' requires an object (who you talk with). Use 'communicate with others' to be complete and more natural. Also 'communicate' fits written register better than 'talk' here.
× Well, I usually type on laptop keyboard every day.
✓ Well, I usually type on a laptop keyboard every day.
The sentence omits the article 'a' before 'laptop keyboard'. A singular countable noun requires an article. Add 'a' to satisfy article usage and subject-verb agreement context.
× It's quite amusing, entertaining to use a laptop keyboard every day, because everything become more and more convenient and green sometimes and it's also has a good battery life.
✓ It's quite amusing and entertaining to use a laptop keyboard every day, because everything becomes more and more convenient and, sometimes, greener, and it also has good battery life.
Multiple issues corrected: 1) Use 'and' to join adjectives rather than a comma splice. 2) 'Become' should be 'becomes' for third-person singular (subject 'everything'). This is a third-person singular issue (ID 2) but also subject-verb agreement; corrected here. 3) 'Green' used adjectivally needs comparative context or 'greener' if comparing; 'sometimes' is placed before adjective for clarity. 4) Remove extra 'a' in 'has a good battery life' -> 'has good battery life' or 'has a good battery life' both acceptable; I chose 'has good battery life' for naturalness. 5) Remove 'it's' before 'also has' to avoid extra pronoun; combine into one clause.
× I learned to type on the keyboard when I was quite young, it's quite a lengthy time, my mother told me in person at home and I practice regularly for about 3 years using typing games and exercise which helps me become faster and more accurate to type owners keyboard.
✓ I learned to type on the keyboard when I was quite young; it has been a long time. My mother taught me at home, and I practiced regularly for about three years using typing games and exercises, which helped me become faster and more accurate at typing on my own keyboard.
Multiple tense and word-choice errors: 1) 'it's quite a lengthy time' is ungrammatical when referring to past duration; use 'it has been a long time' or rephrase. 2) 'told me in person at home' -> 'taught me at home' is more natural for learning a skill. 3) 'I practice regularly for about 3 years' mixes present with a past learning period; use past 'practiced' to match 'learned'. 4) 'exercise' should be plural 'exercises' and 'which helps' -> 'which helped' to keep past. 5) 'to type owners keyboard' is unclear and ungrammatical; corrected to 'at typing on my own keyboard'. This addresses past tense consistency and clarity.
× Well, as I just mentioned earlier, I always improve and enhance my typing skills by exercise and typing games because they are really amusing and entertaining to use.
✓ Well, as I mentioned earlier, I always improve and enhance my typing skills by doing exercises and playing typing games because they are really amusing and entertaining.
Use gerunds after 'by' to indicate the method: 'by doing exercises and playing typing games'. 'Exercise' as a noun should be plural and combined with an appropriate verb. Also 'as I just mentioned earlier' is redundant; 'as I mentioned earlier' is concise.
× It can also help me get off from daily routine stress for a while.
✓ It can also help me get away from daily routine stress for a while.
'Get off from' is not idiomatic; use 'get away from' or 'relieve' for stress. Also place 'for a while' at the end is acceptable; the main issue was the incorrect prepositional verb.
