× I prefer typing because as an engineer I type on keyboard every day for the emails and reports.
✓ I prefer typing because, as an engineer, I type on the keyboard every day for emails and reports.
The sentence needed definite article 'the' before 'keyboard' and commas around the parenthetical phrase 'as an engineer'. Also 'the emails and reports' is better as 'emails and reports' (no article) when speaking generally. These changes correct article use and improve natural present-tense expression.
× I rarely write by hand now because smartphones and laptop are more convenient and fast for me.
✓ I rarely write by hand now because smartphones and laptops are more convenient and faster for me.
Plural noun agreement: 'laptop' should be 'laptops' to match 'smartphones' when speaking generally. Comparative form: use 'faster' instead of 'fast' when comparing. This fixes plural and adjective comparison in present tense.
× Yes, umm, just I mentioned at the AT engineer, I type on a laptop keyboard every day, uh, because I usually go some different country with flight.
✓ Yes, I mentioned earlier that as an engineer, I type on a laptop keyboard every day because I usually travel to different countries by plane.
Multiple issues: awkward phrasing and pronoun/reference. 'Just I mentioned at the AT engineer' is unclear; replace with 'I mentioned earlier that as an engineer'. Use plural 'countries' and 'by plane' is the natural preposition. This fixes incorrect pronoun/phrase use and preposition choice.
× So I need to take my laptop and, uh, type in at the e-mail and report.
✓ So I need to take my laptop and type emails and reports.
Remove incorrect prepositions 'in at' and 'the' before 'e-mail and report'. Use the plural nouns 'emails and reports' and simple verb 'type' to express the activity. This corrects preposition misuse and article errors.
× I learned to type many years ago during the computer license when I was a child.
✓ I learned to type many years ago during a computer class when I was a child.
'Computer license' is incorrect word choice; likely meant 'computer class'. Use the indefinite article 'a' before 'computer class'. Past tense 'learned' is correct; only noun and article needed correction.
× The teachers guide them up through the exercise and regular protects, so I quickly become comfortable using the keyboard and still remember this class fondly.
✓ The teachers guided us through the exercises and regular practice, so I quickly became comfortable using the keyboard and still remember that class fondly.
Pronoun and verb tense errors: 'guide them up' should be 'guided us' (correct pronoun and past tense). 'Exercise' plural 'exercises', 'protects' should be 'practice'. 'I quickly become' should be past tense 'became' to match earlier past context. These changes fix pronoun, plurality, word choice, and tense consistency.
× I think the most effective way to improve the typing is consistent practice.
✓ I think the most effective way to improve typing is consistent practice.
Omit the article 'the' before 'typing' when speaking generally. 'Improve typing' is more natural. Tense and meaning remain present.
× I try to use typing daily and write report and emails and work and I also use the online typing exercise to increase increase my speed and currency.
✓ I try to type daily and write reports and emails for work, and I also use online typing exercises to increase my speed and accuracy.
Multiple corrections: use 'type' instead of 'use typing', pluralize 'reports', add 'for work' for clarity, change 'the online typing exercise' to 'online typing exercises', remove duplicated 'increase', and replace 'currency' with 'accuracy' which fits context. These fix verb form, plurality, article use, word choice, and redundancy while keeping present tense.
