× Actually I prefer typing because we are already get used to use those devices like a mobile phone or laptop.
✓ Actually I prefer typing because we are already used to using devices like mobile phones or laptops.
The sentence has present tense and verb form errors. 'are already get used to' is incorrect — the correct passive/state expression is 'are already used to'. After 'used to' when meaning accustomed, the verb should be in the -ing form: 'used to using'. Also plural forms for general devices should be 'mobile phones or laptops'. Suggestion: use 'are already used to using' and plural nouns for clarity.
× So I think typing is a more convenient and. Worldwide way to input.
✓ So I think typing is a more convenient and more widely used way to input.
The original has a sentence break and wrong adjective/adverb forms. 'and. Worldwide' is fragmented. 'Worldwide' is an adverb and should be 'more widely used' to modify 'way to input'. Also 'more convenient' should be paralleled with 'more widely used' to form a correct compound description.
× I type on my laptop every day because I need to make use of my laptop to study, to check information or send a message to my relatives or my friends every day, so I will use them.
✓ I type on my laptop every day because I need to use it to study, check information, or send messages to my relatives and friends, so I use it daily.
The sentence had agreement and pronoun number problems. 'make use of my laptop' is wordy; 'use it' is clearer. 'send a message' suggests singular but context implies repeated actions: use plural 'messages'. 'my relatives or my friends' is repetitive; use 'relatives and friends'. 'so I will use them' mismatches pronoun number: 'them' plural doesn't match 'laptop' singular. Use 'it' or rephrase to 'I use it daily' for present habitual action.
× Umm, basically I learned how to type on keyboard when I was a primary school student.
✓ Umm, basically I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was a primary school student.
Missing article 'a' before 'keyboard'. The past tense 'learned' is correct for a past event. Add the article to make the noun phrase grammatically correct: 'type on a keyboard'.
× I can still remember that when I was in the Information Communication Technology class, our teacher gave instruction to tell us how to practice with those typing games.
✓ I can still remember that when I was in Information and Communication Technology class, our teacher gave instructions on how to practice with those typing games.
Several preposition and count errors: 'Information Communication Technology' is usually 'Information and Communication Technology'. 'gave instruction' should be plural 'gave instructions' or 'gave an instruction'. Use 'gave instructions on how to' rather than 'gave instruction to tell us how to'. The preposition 'on' correctly links 'instructions' to the content.
× There are a bunch of ways for me to practice my typing skills.
✓ There are a bunch of ways for me to practice my typing skills.
This sentence is acceptable grammatically; tense and structure are correct. No correction needed.
× For example, there are a number of games which are developed for children to practice typing.
✓ For example, there are a number of games that are developed for children to practice typing.
Use 'that' instead of 'which' in restrictive clauses in common usage. The tense and prepositions are otherwise fine. Alternatively 'developed for children to practice typing' is correct.
× I used to use some of them and then now I already get used to type in my phone or laptop so.
✓ I used to use some of them, and now I am already used to typing on my phone or laptop.
Mix of past habit 'used to' and present state 'already get used to' is awkward. Use present passive/state 'am already used to' plus gerund 'typing' after 'used to'. Preposition should be 'on' rather than 'in' for devices. Remove trailing 'so' or complete the thought.
