× I prefer typing because it's more easier to write or to text to someone when whenever I chat in on offline online and I get used to typing 'cause I.
✓ I prefer typing because it's easier to write or text someone when I chat online or offline, and I am used to typing.
The phrase 'more easier' is a redundancy; 'easier' alone is correct (use of comparative). Remove unnecessary 'to' before 'text' and simplify 'to text to someone' to 'text someone'. 'When whenever' is redundant; use one conjunction 'when'. 'in on offline online' is incorrect preposition and word order; use 'online or offline'. Contraction 'cause' is informal; 'because' or 'I'm used to' is clearer. Suggestion: use single comparative adjective, avoid redundant words, place adverbs/adjectives in correct order and remove extra prepositions.
× I type on laptop almost every day.
✓ I type on a laptop almost every day.
The noun 'laptop' is singular and requires the indefinite article 'a'. Without the article the sentence is ungrammatical in this context. Suggestion: include 'a' before singular countable nouns.
× For example, I use two laptops for my uh school and also for my work.
✓ For example, I use two laptops for school and for work.
The phrase 'my uh school' is awkward; 'school' usually does not take 'my' in this general sense. Also 'for my work' can be simplified to 'for work'. Remove filler 'uh' and redundant conjunction 'and also'. Suggestion: omit fillers and use concise noun phrases.
× So when I do assignment task like writing research paper, I use laptop.
✓ So when I do assignments, such as writing a research paper, I use a laptop.
'Assignment task' is redundant; use 'assignments'. 'Writing research paper' needs an article 'a research paper'. 'Use laptop' requires article 'a laptop'. Also plural or singular must be consistent. Suggestion: use correct articles and avoid redundant nouns.
× I I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in elementary school.
✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in elementary school.
Duplicate 'I' is an error but not grammatical tense; the rest is correct past tense. Remove the repeated pronoun. Suggestion: avoid repetition when speaking or writing.
× Maybe at the 5th grade I started to using, uh, keyboard to, uh, produce, uh, some assignments of making, umm, slides.
✓ Maybe in the 5th grade I started using the keyboard to produce assignments, such as making slides.
Use 'in the 5th grade' rather than 'at the 5th grade'. 'Started to using' is incorrect; use 'started using' or 'started to use'. 'Keyboard' needs the article 'the'. 'Some assignments of making slides' is awkward; use 'assignments, such as making slides'. Remove fillers. Suggestion: choose correct preposition for grade level, use correct verb forms and articles, and structure examples clearly.
× The more I pass through writing assignments or using keyboard in my schools, the more I get used to typing.
✓ The more I do writing assignments or use the keyboard at school, the more I get used to typing.
'Pass through writing assignments' is incorrect; use 'do writing assignments'. 'Using keyboard' should be 'use the keyboard'. 'In my schools' is odd; use 'at school' for general context. Present tense comparative structure is fine but verbs must be parallel: 'do ... or use ...'. Suggestion: use parallel verb forms and correct prepositions/articles.
× Yeah, that stuff.
✓ Yes, those kinds of tasks help.
'Yeah, that stuff' is colloquial and vague; in a test context, provide a clearer, complete sentence. 'Stuff' is informal and uncountable; replace with a precise noun phrase. Suggestion: avoid fillers and vague words in formal speaking.
