× I always prefer a typing instead of handwriting because it is a convenient and easily available as my laptop and my phone are always with me.
✓ I always prefer typing to handwriting because it is convenient and easy to access, as my laptop and my phone are always with me.
Problems: unnecessary article before gerund, incorrect preposition, adjective/adverb form, and article usage. Change 'a typing' to 'typing' (no article before gerund). Use 'prefer X to Y' not 'prefer X instead of Y' for this structure. 'A convenient and easily available' mixes adjective and adverb incorrectly; use 'convenient and easy to access' or 'easily available' consistently; here 'easy to access' fits. Also keep 'my laptop and my phone are always with me' unchanged. Suggestions: remove unnecessary articles before gerunds, use 'prefer X to Y', and match adjective/adverb forms.
× So if I need any notes or anything need to write, I quickly write in my notepad.
✓ So if I need to take any notes or write anything, I quickly write them in my notepad.
Problems: sentence structure and verb form. 'need any notes or anything need to write' is ungrammatical. Use 'need to take any notes or write anything'. Also include object pronoun 'them' referring to notes. Suggestions: use 'need to' + verb for necessity and place objects/pronouns correctly.
× No, uh, I usually use my laptop during my, uh, college days on Wednesday and Thursday.
✓ No, I usually use my laptop on my college days, Wednesday and Thursday.
Problems: word order and filler words. 'during my college days on Wednesday and Thursday' is awkward; 'on my college days, Wednesday and Thursday' is clearer. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestions: reduce fillers and place time expressions appropriately.
× On that day, I usually use a laptop for typing to complete my assignments.
✓ On those days, I usually use a laptop to type and complete my assignments.
Problems: article before 'laptop' and infinitive usage. Use plural 'those days' to match Wednesday and Thursday. 'use a laptop for typing' is wordy; use 'use a laptop to type'. Suggestions: match singular/plural with time reference and prefer 'to' + verb for purpose.
× Well, when I was in my 5th standard, uh, and uh, we had a one subject, uh, like a computer.
✓ Well, when I was in 5th grade, we had one subject called Computer.
Problems: article and noun usage and filler words. Use '5th grade' (or 'fifth grade') rather than '5th standard' in common English. 'a one subject' is incorrect; use 'one subject' or 'a subject called'. 'like a computer' should be 'called Computer' or 'computer class'. Remove fillers. Suggestions: avoid redundant articles and use standard terms for school grades.
× So my computer teacher always bring us uh, in a computer lab and uh, she taught us to how to type on a keyboard.
✓ So my computer teacher always brought us to the computer lab and taught us how to type on a keyboard.
Problems: past tense consistency and preposition use. 'always bring' should be past 'brought' because the context is past. Use 'brought us to the computer lab' not 'bring us in'. Remove 'to' before 'how to type'—use 'taught us how to type'. Suggestions: maintain past tense for past events and use correct prepositions ('brought to').
× So on that time I learned it.
✓ So at that time I learned it.
Problems: preposition choice. Use 'at that time' rather than 'on that time'. Suggestions: learn common time prepositions: 'at that time', 'in that period', 'on that day' as appropriate.
× Well my typing is not a good but my friend suggest me a one app on Internet is about the increasing the speed of typing.
✓ Well, my typing is not good, but my friend recommended an app on the Internet that helps increase typing speed.
Problems: article usage, adjective/adverb choice, verb tense and form, preposition, and sentence structure. 'is not a good' should be 'is not good'. 'friend suggest me a one app' should be 'friend recommended an app to me' or 'my friend recommended an app'. 'on Internet' should be 'on the Internet'. 'is about the increasing the speed of typing' should be 'that helps increase typing speed'. Suggestions: use past form 'recommended' for reported action, correct article 'an app', include 'the' before Internet, and use relative clause for purpose.
× Now I regularly used it in my daily life while I'm traveling.
✓ Now I regularly use it in my daily life while I'm traveling.
Problems: tense inconsistency. 'regularly used' is past; context indicates present habitual so use 'regularly use'. Keep 'while I'm traveling' present progressive is acceptable. Suggestions: match present habitual actions with present simple.
× So they give a one as one sentence to complete in a second.
✓ So it gives one sentence to complete in a second.
Problems: pronoun and article use and sentence structure. Use 'it' (the app) rather than 'they'. 'give a one as one sentence' is incorrect; say 'gives one sentence to complete in a second' or 'gives a sentence to complete in one second'. Suggestions: choose correct subject and concise phrasing; use 'one second' for time span.
× So with.
✓ (remove fragment)
Problems: sentence fragment without verb. Delete fragment or complete the sentence. Suggestions: avoid leaving incomplete utterances; if continuing, finish the thought.
