× Uh, if you talking about my personal choice, I love typing because I am uh, uh, uh, I have a pretty much good interest in gaming.
✓ Uh, if you are talking about my personal choice, I love typing because I have a strong interest in gaming.
The original uses 'if you talking' which omits the auxiliary 'are' needed for the present continuous form (be + -ing). Also 'I am ... I have a pretty much good interest' is non-idiomatic: 'I am' is unnecessary and 'pretty much good interest' is incorrect adjective use; 'a strong interest' is natural. Suggestion: include the auxiliary verb with -ing (are talking) and use natural collocations like 'a strong interest'.
× Uh, so I got a hands on experience on keyboard, so I know how to type fast.
✓ I got hands-on experience with the keyboard, so I know how to type fast.
'a hands on experience' should be 'hands-on experience' (hyphenated adjective) and usually no article 'a' when speaking of experience in general. Preposition 'on' with 'experience' is less natural than 'with'. Also include 'the' before 'keyboard' if referring to a specific keyboard; here 'the keyboard' works. Suggestion: use 'hands-on experience with' and hyphenate 'hands-on'.
× I use uh, desktop uh, PC for my typing and for my uh, gaming things because my laptop is not uh uh, high end, so I prefer uh, desktop keyboards.
✓ I use a desktop PC for typing and gaming because my laptop is not high-end, so I prefer desktop keyboards.
Missing article before 'desktop PC' ('a desktop PC'). 'For my typing and for my gaming things' is wordy and awkward; use 'for typing and gaming'. 'High end' as a compound adjective should be hyphenated 'high-end'. Remove unnecessary 'my' and filler words. Suggestion: include appropriate articles and use concise collocations ('for typing and gaming').
× I learn how to type on a keyboard or how to use a keyboard when Firstly, the GTA Vice City was released in my childhood back in when I was almost 7 to 8 years old.
✓ I learned how to type and use a keyboard when GTA Vice City was released during my childhood, when I was about seven or eight years old.
The sentence mixes present tense 'I learn' with past events; use past tense 'learned'. 'Firstly' is misplaced and unnecessary. 'Back in when I was almost 7 to 8 years old' is awkward; use 'when I was about seven or eight years old'. Suggestion: shift verbs to past tense for past events and simplify time expressions.
× From that year of gaming, I experienced a lot of interest in this gaming industry.
✓ From that year of gaming, I developed a strong interest in the gaming industry.
'Experienced a lot of interest' is unnatural; collocation is 'developed an interest' or 'became very interested'. 'A lot of interest' is vague; 'a strong interest' is clearer. 'This gaming industry' should be 'the gaming industry'. Suggestion: use natural collocations like 'developed a strong interest in the gaming industry'.
× Mostly my typing is improved by chatting with friends and my group circle because they are they prefer messaging and typing instead of direct calling.
✓ Mostly my typing has improved by chatting with friends and my group because they prefer messaging and typing instead of calling directly.
'My typing is improved' is awkward passive; use present perfect 'has improved' to show a change over time. 'My group circle' is redundant; 'my group' is enough. 'They are they prefer' repeats 'they' incorrectly. 'Direct calling' is unnatural; use 'calling directly' or 'phone calls'. Suggestion: use present perfect for gradual improvement and correct word order ('calling directly').
