× Honestly I it depends on the situation.
✓ Honestly, it depends on the situation.
Extra pronoun 'I' causes a sentence structure error by producing an unnecessary subject; remove 'I' so 'it' correctly refers to the situation. Also add a comma after 'Honestly' for natural phrasing.
× but for net journaling or studying I prefer handwriting thing.
✓ but for note journaling or studying I prefer handwriting.
The phrase 'handwriting thing' is unidiomatic; use the noun 'handwriting' alone. 'Net' seems to be a typo for 'note' or 'notetaking'; context suggests 'note journaling' or 'note-taking'. Also add a comma before 'I' is optional—kept concise.
× Most of my research I've done on the computer and after driving.
✓ Most of my research I do on the computer because it is much faster and easier to edit than writing by hand.
Original mixes tenses and includes 'after driving' which makes no sense here. The student likely meant a reason: typing is faster and easier to edit. Use present simple 'I do' to match daily habit and provide clear cause with 'because'.
× I actually learned how to type properly in university.
✓ I actually learned how to type properly at university.
Preposition 'in university' is not incorrect in some varieties, but 'at university' is the standard collocation in English when referring to attending university. The tense 'learned' is correct for a past event; only the preposition needed adjustment.
× I thought if I use all my fingers on keyboard it will look perfect.
✓ I thought if I used all my fingers on the keyboard it would look perfect.
This conditional describes a past thought about a hypothetical situation, so use the past tense in both clauses (second conditional for past-in-reported thoughts): 'if I used' and 'it would'. Also add the definite article 'the' before 'keyboard'.
× So I took an online typing cards to improve my skills.
✓ So I took an online typing course to improve my skills.
'Typing cards' is incorrect; the intended word is likely 'course' or 'class'. Use the singular countable noun 'course' with the article 'an' is correct. This fixes the lexical error.
× I often use online typing games or apps to improve my speak and accuracy.
✓ I often use online typing games or apps to improve my speed and accuracy.
The word 'speak' is incorrect in this context; 'speed' fits typing. This is a lexical/quantifier-type error where the wrong noun was used. 'Speed and accuracy' is the standard collocation.
× They're much more friend and motivating than just radio typing, and many of them lets you track your progress over time, which is really helpful.
✓ They're much more fun and motivating than just rote typing, and many of them let you track your progress over time, which is really helpful.
Multiple errors: 'friend' is the wrong word—should be 'fun' (adjective). 'Radio typing' is likely a mistaken phrase; 'rote typing' (repetitive practice) fits the contrast. Subject-verb agreement: 'many of them let' not 'lets'. Fix both the adjective choice and the verb form to match plural subject.
