× I like handwriting because handwriting makes people feel warm. For example, when I get a letter with handwriting, I can feel happy because the people who wrote me spend harm.
✓ I like handwriting because it makes people feel warm. For example, when I get a handwritten letter, I feel happy because the people who wrote to me made an effort.
Issues: sentence structure and word choice. 'Handwriting makes people feel warm' is acceptable but repeating 'handwriting' is awkward; replace with 'it'. 'A letter with handwriting' is better as 'a handwritten letter'. 'The people who wrote me' is incorrect use of verb and preposition; correct form is 'who wrote to me'. 'Spend harm' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'made an effort' or 'took time'. Suggestion: use concise references (it), correct collocations (handwritten letter), and proper verb + preposition combos (write to someone).
× I don't usually do it every day, but I type on my laptop two or three days a week because I have to write some report or not on my class and also I have to remember something.
✓ I don't usually type every day, but I type on my laptop two or three days a week because I have to write some reports for my classes and also to remember things.
Problems: awkward phrasing and incorrect noun forms. 'Do it every day' is vague; use 'type every day'. 'Some report' should be plural 'some reports' or 'a report'. 'Or not on my class' is ungrammatical; likely 'for my classes'. 'I have to remember something' is vague; 'to remember things' fits context. Suggestion: use correct verb collocations (write reports), pluralize when referring to multiple instances, and choose clearer infinitive phrases for purpose (to remember).
× I learned when I was in elementary school. At first my typing skill was terrible. However, after how to type and I got used to the keyboard. I'm very good at typing, especially in English.
✓ I learned when I was in elementary school. At first my typing skills were terrible. However, after learning how to type and getting used to the keyboard, I became much better. I'm now very good at typing, especially in English.
Errors: incorrect sentence fragments and verb forms. 'After how to type and I got used to the keyboard' is ungrammatical; use 'after learning how to type and getting used to the keyboard'. Also 'typing skill' should be plural 'typing skills' or 'my typing skill was poor'. Tense consistency: use past tense for past improvement ('became much better') and present for current ability ('I'm now very good'). Suggestion: replace fragments with gerund phrases after 'after' and keep tense consistent.
× I improve my typing skills for tutors, 1 is I went to school to how to type quickly and second one is I changed my smartphone's keyboard to English ones so it takes fewer time to.
✓ I improved my typing skills with the help of tutors. First, I went to school to learn how to type quickly, and second, I changed my smartphone's keyboard to English so it takes less time.
Multiple issues: tense and verb forms, article and quantifier use. 'I improve' should be past 'I improved' to match context. 'For tutors' is better as 'with the help of tutors'. 'I went to school to how to type' should be 'to learn how to type' (infinitive after 'to'). 'English ones' is awkward; 'English keyboard' is correct. 'Fewer time' is incorrect; use 'less time' for uncountable noun 'time'. Suggestion: use correct infinitive after 'to', match tense, and use 'less' for uncountable nouns.
