× I really prefer typing because typing is a fast and convenient way to convey our message to friends and also to write reports related to work and study.
✓ I really prefer typing because it is a fast and convenient way to convey messages to friends and to write reports for work and study.
Preposition and article issues: 'convey our message to friends' is more natural as 'convey messages to friends' (plural and no possessive 'our'). 'Reports related to work and study' is better as 'reports for work and study' using the preposition 'for' to indicate purpose or context. Also replace the repetitive 'typing' with 'it' for clarity.
× And with the help of typing, uh, I can add it any error in the content.
✓ And with typing, I can correct any errors in the content.
Wrong verb choice and word order: 'add it any error' is incorrect. The intended meaning is likely to 'correct' errors. Use the verb 'correct' and plural 'errors' to match general reference. Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary pronoun 'it.'
× No, I don't use the desktop or laptop keyboard everyday I use only my phone's keyboard for chatting and also delivering my message to my friends.
✓ No, I don't use a desktop or laptop keyboard every day; I only use my phone's keyboard for chatting and for sending messages to my friends.
This sentence contains multiple issues: 'everyday' should be the adverbial phrase 'every day' (two words). Article use: 'the desktop or laptop keyboard' is better as 'a desktop or laptop keyboard' to indicate non-specific devices. 'Delivering my message' is unnatural; use 'sending messages' and plural 'messages.' Also the sentence needs proper punctuation or conjunction to join the clauses.
× And sometime I like to e-mail through my phone's keyboard.
✓ And sometimes I like to e-mail using my phone's keyboard.
'Sometime' means 'at an unnamed time' while the adverb 'sometimes' (more than once) is appropriate here. Also use 'using' rather than 'through' to indicate the means or instrument.
× I want to type on a keyboard when I was in my high school, I usually prefer to write essay on the computer with the help of the keyboard and also at my uncle's home I do practice daily on a keyboard for typing extraordinary.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in high school. I usually preferred to write essays on the computer with the keyboard, and at my uncle's home I practiced daily to improve my typing.
Tense inconsistency and other issues: 'I want to type' is wrong for a past learning event — use 'I learned to type.' 'My high school' should be 'high school' without 'my.' 'Usually prefer' conflicts with past timing; change to 'usually preferred' to keep past. 'Write essay' needs plural 'essays.' 'Do practice daily' should be 'practiced daily.' 'Typing extraordinary' is unclear; use 'to improve my typing.'
× I do practice every day on the computer in my school and also I borrow a computer from my friend to do practice regularly at home.
✓ I practice every day on the computer at my school, and I borrow a computer from my friend to practice regularly at home.
Article and preposition corrections: 'do practice' is unidiomatic — use 'practice.' Use the preposition 'at my school' (not 'in my school'). Remove the second 'do' in 'do practice' and use consistent verbs.
× In I usually do practice in the morning time before going to school for making my typing faster and more accurate.
✓ I usually practice in the morning before going to school to make my typing faster and more accurate.
Remove stray 'In' at the start. 'Do practice' is unnecessary; use 'practice.' 'Morning time' is wordy—'in the morning' or 'in the morning before' is better. Use 'to make' for purpose rather than 'for making.'
