× I absolutely prefer typing because, uh, I'm faster in typing than writing with my hands.
✓ I absolutely prefer typing because I'm faster at typing than at handwriting.
Use 'faster at' to compare ability with gerund/noun forms; 'in typing' is incorrect preposition and 'writing with my hands' is wordy—use 'handwriting'. Use parallel structure 'at typing' and 'at handwriting'.
× And beside that, uh, it's, I think it's a problem with people who have a bad handwriting and you can't really see what.
✓ Besides that, I think bad handwriting is a problem because you often cannot read it.
Use 'Besides' (not 'And beside'); avoid unnecessary clauses and fill words. 'A bad handwriting' is incorrect article usage; use 'bad handwriting' (uncountable). 'You can't really see what' is incomplete—clarify 'cannot read it'.
× Uh, yes, I do type a lot and I usually, uh, type on my laptop and, uh, especially, uh, especially in, uh, you know, days, days and weeks because I'm writing a paper in my profession.
✓ Yes, I type a lot; I usually type on my laptop, especially these days and weeks because I am writing a paper for my profession.
Remove filler words and fix temporal expression: use 'these days' or 'recently' rather than repeated 'days, days and weeks'. Use 'for my profession' rather than 'in my profession'. Maintain present continuous 'I am writing' for ongoing action.
× It first started when I was gaming as a child and then, uh, I did my everyday homeworks on laptop and I really enjoyed typing and when I got fast, that's the time I really enjoyed it.
✓ It started when I gamed as a child, and later I did my daily homework on the laptop. I really enjoyed typing, and once I became fast, I enjoyed it even more.
Use simple past 'started' and 'gamed' for past events. 'Homeworks' is incorrect plural; 'homework' is uncountable and use 'daily homework'. 'Got fast' is informal—use 'became fast'. Improve sentence flow and tense consistency.
× It's a common say that. Practice makes perfection and really that's just it.
✓ There is a common saying: Practice makes perfect, and that's really true.
'A common say' is incorrect; use 'a common saying' or 'There is a common saying'. Correct proverb is 'Practice makes perfect' not 'perfection'. Use 'that's really true' for clarity.
× And by typing a lot I improve my typing and I got faster.
✓ By typing a lot, I improve my typing and I have become faster.
Maintain present tense for habitual improvement: 'I improve' is present, but 'I got faster' mixes past. Use present perfect 'I have become faster' to show result continuing to present. Add comma after introductory phrase.
