× Well, actually I prefer typing rather than handwriting. Umm because I find it more convenient and quicker.
✓ Well, actually I prefer typing to handwriting because I find it more convenient and quicker.
The phrase 'prefer... rather than' is acceptable but 'prefer... to' is more idiomatic with gerunds. Also remove the fragment 'Umm because' and join sentences for fluency. Use 'prefer typing to handwriting' to match present habitual preference.
× I usually type when I text my friends and edit my documents on laptop.
✓ I usually type when I text my friends and edit my documents on my laptop.
English requires a possessive determiner before 'laptop' in this context. Use 'my laptop' to indicate which device you use. This is an article/possessive error.
× Well, every day I usually type on my desk laptop keyboard because I don't have a desktop and also I find my laptop keyboard is more convenient and portable.
✓ Well, I usually type every day on my laptop at my desk because I don't have a desktop, and I find my laptop keyboard more convenient and portable.
Place frequency adverb 'usually' adjacent to the verb for natural word order. 'Desk laptop keyboard' is awkward; use 'on my laptop at my desk'. Remove unnecessary 'is' after 'keyboard' in a comparative description.
× Uh, I can bring it anywhere in my house and also take it to the cafe.
✓ I can bring it anywhere in my house and also take it to a cafe.
Use 'to a cafe' not 'to the cafe' unless referring to a specific cafe known to listener. This is a preposition/article choice.
× Well, actually it's about 10 years ago.
✓ Well, actually it was about 10 years ago.
When referring to a past time, use past tense 'it was' rather than present 'it's'. This matches the past time reference.
× I learned how to type on a keyboard because it was part of my school curriculum.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard because it was part of my school curriculum.
Use 'learned to type' (infinitive) is more natural than 'learned how to type'. Both are possible, but 'learned to type' is concise. No major agreement error; categorized as subject-verb area for clarity.
× We had a textbook and we had a teacher who taught us about that subject and we have to practice regularly.
✓ We had a textbook and a teacher who taught us that subject, and we had to practice regularly.
Maintain past tense consistency: 'had to practice' (past obligation) rather than 'have to practice' (present). Also streamline 'taught us about that subject' to 'taught us that subject.'
× Well, I believe that I can improve my typing because I practice and type a lot.
✓ Well, I believe that I can improve my typing because I practice and type a lot.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable. 'Can' correctly expresses ability/possibility. No change needed.
× I think the more you type, umm the more you practice, the faster and more accurate the typing becomes.
✓ I think the more you type and practice, the faster and more accurate your typing becomes.
Use parallel structure 'the more you type and practice' and possessive 'your typing' for natural expression. Keep present tense as it expresses general truth.
