Do you prefer typing or handwriting?

× I think I personally prefer typing over handwriting.
✓ I personally prefer typing to handwriting.
Using 'prefer' is followed by 'to' when comparing two options (prefer A to B). Also 'I personally' is redundant with 'I', but acceptable; correction replaces 'over' with 'to' for standard collocation.
× The number 2 is that unlike a lot of ethnic Chinese people, my handwriting is not nearly as good.
✓ The second reason is that, unlike many ethnic Chinese people, my handwriting is not nearly as good.
Use 'the second reason' rather than 'the number 2' for natural phrasing. 'A lot of' is informal; 'many' is better with people. Also added commas for clarity.
× My handwriting is ugly.
✓ My handwriting is poor.
'Ugly' describes appearance and can sound harsh for handwriting; 'poor' or 'bad' is more appropriate when describing legibility or quality. This is a stylistic correction rather than grammatical, but improves register.
× I usually type on my laptop keyboard every day as far as my iPhone keyboard, but not usually a desktop keyboard because desktop keyboards are just way too large for me.
✓ I usually type on my laptop keyboard and sometimes on my iPhone keyboard, but not on a desktop keyboard because desktop keyboards are too large for me.
Original sentence has awkward structure and repetition ('usually' twice). Corrected version fixes parallel structure and removes informal 'way too'. Also 'a desktop keyboard' fits singular reference.
× I'm not a big fan of large keyboards.
✓ I am not a big fan of large keyboards.
Contraction expanded for formality; grammatically the sentence is correct. Provided corrected form to match consistency with other answers.
× I think I learned how to type on the keyboard while I was around 10:50 years old and Beijing Primary School there were composite classes teaching pupils how to type.
✓ I think I learned how to type when I was about 10 or 11 years old. At Beijing Primary School there were mixed classes teaching pupils how to type on desktop keyboards.
Original mixes numbers '10:50' incorrectly and has run-on structure. Use 'about 10 or 11 years old' for age estimate. 'There were composite classes' is unclear; 'mixed classes' or 'combined classes' is clearer. Added 'on desktop keyboards' to clarify context and fixed sentence separation.
× On the desktop computer keyboard.
✓ On desktop computer keyboards.
Fragment sentence: make it plural or attach to previous sentence. Preposition 'on' is fine but original is a sentence fragment; corrected to plural to match general statement.
× I improved my typing not solely via Rd. memorization.
✓ I improved my typing not solely through rote memorization.
'Rd.' is unclear; likely meant 'rote'. Use 'through rote memorization' for correct collocation. 'Rote' is an adjective modifying 'memorization' rather than a verb form issue; adjusted wording for correctness.
× I improved my typing by keep on practicing.
✓ I improved my typing by keeping on practicing.
After 'by' when indicating method, use the -ing form: 'by keeping'. Also better phrasing is 'by practicing regularly' or 'by practicing continually'.
× We have a thing of Mandarin.
✓ We have a Mandarin class.
Original is unclear and ungrammatical. Likely meant 'We have a Mandarin class' or 'We had Mandarin lessons.' Clarified to a correct noun phrase.
× It's that everything difficult from the beginning.
✓ It was difficult at the beginning.
Original lacks verb and has incorrect tense/aspect. Revised to a simple past statement 'It was difficult at the beginning' to match context about learning process.
