× Like it depends upon the situation.
✓ It depends on the situation.
The original uses 'Like' as a filler and 'depends upon' is acceptable but 'depends on' is more natural; 'it' is fine. Remove filler and use standard preposition. Suggestion: start sentences without 'like' and use 'depends on'.
× Like in the typing I can type faster but if I have to write a letter physical letter then I have to prefer with the handwriting.
✓ When typing, I can type faster, but if I have to write a physical letter, I prefer handwriting.
Errors: unnecessary filler 'Like', redundant phrase 'letter physical letter', incorrect 'have to prefer with'. Fix by reordering: use 'when typing', 'prefer handwriting', and place article 'a' before 'physical letter'.
× But typing is more better because you can turn on the auto correction and there is a less chance of uh in correction.
✓ But typing is better because you can turn on autocorrect and there is less chance of incorrectness/errors.
'More better' is a double comparative (use 'better'). 'Auto correction' is better expressed as 'autocorrect' or 'auto-correction'. 'a less chance of in correction' is incorrect; use 'less chance of errors' or 'fewer errors'. Remove filler 'uh'.
× So I work in a warehouse as a warehouse associated.
✓ I work in a warehouse as a warehouse associate.
'Associated' is incorrect form; the correct noun is 'associate'. Also remove leading 'So' and redundant 'a warehouse' repeated; keep 'a warehouse' and 'warehouse associate'.
× I usually work on desktop because I have to put do the data entry and receiving stuff so so on over there only desktop computers are available.
✓ I usually work on a desktop because I have to do data entry and receiving tasks, and only desktop computers are available there.
Problems: 'work on desktop' needs article 'a desktop'; 'put do' is wrong — use 'do'; 'receiving stuff' is informal — use 'receiving tasks'; 'so so on' is filler; word order improved by moving 'only desktop computers are available there'.
× So I use desktop computer every day for typing.
✓ So I use a desktop computer every day for typing.
Missing indefinite article 'a' before 'desktop computer'. Keep present simple tense 'use'. Remove filler 'So' where possible.
× I learn typing on keyboard.
✓ I learned to type on the keyboard.
Tense error: the action happened in the past, so use past tense 'learned'. Also use infinitive 'to type' and include article 'the' before 'keyboard'.
× When I was child I was studying in 3rd standard.
✓ When I was a child, I was in 3rd grade.
Missing article 'a' before 'child'; 'studying in 3rd standard' is non-native phrasing — use 'in 3rd grade' or 'in the third grade'. Include comma after time clause.
× On that time they do a first computer lab practice.
✓ At that time, we did our first computer lab practice.
Use past tense 'did' not 'do'; preposition 'At that time' is correct; 'they' likely refers to 'we' (teacher and students) — adjust pronoun for clarity; include possessive 'our'.
× So on that time they told us how to type and how to use the computer.
✓ So at that time they taught us how to type and how to use the computer.
Use past tense verb 'taught' instead of 'told' for instruction; use 'at that time' not 'on that time'. 'Told us' can be correct but 'taught us' is clearer for learning.
× That is the first time I use computer in my life.
✓ That was the first time I used a computer in my life.
Tense mismatch: use past tense 'was' and 'used' for past event; include article 'a' before 'computer'.
× To be very honest, I used to use notepad.
✓ To be honest, I used to use Notepad.
Minor: 'To be very honest' is okay but 'To be honest' is more natural. Capitalize 'Notepad' if referring to the program. 'Used to' indicates a past habitual action, which fits if the student no longer does it.
× I just take a book and try to type the paragraphs by my own.
✓ I would take a book and try to type the paragraphs on my own.
Tense and phrasing: use past habitual 'would take' or 'used to take' if speaking of past practice; 'by my own' is incorrect — use 'on my own'.
× But nowadays there are too many websites or the applications from which we can practice.
✓ But nowadays there are many websites and applications where we can practice.
'Too many' implies excess — use 'many' unless criticizing. 'or the applications' is incorrect; use 'and applications'. 'From which we can practice' is awkward — use 'where we can practice'.
× Like the typing master.
✓ For example, TypingMaster.
'Like' as filler is unnecessary; 'Typing Master' likely is a proper noun — use correct name 'TypingMaster' or 'Typing Master' and present as an example. Better to link to previous sentence: 'For example, TypingMaster.'
× It really helps to improve your typing while playing games or typing the words.
✓ It really helps improve your typing by letting you play games or type words.
Use 'helps improve' (no 'to') or 'helps to improve' both acceptable; streamline phrasing: 'by letting you play games or type words'. 'Typing the words' is redundant; use 'type words'.
