How do you improve your typing?

By doing it consistently. Because I believe if you want to learn something, you have to do it every day. You have to train yourself to do it so that you can improve every single day.

× If I'm honest, I would say handwriting, but I know for a fact that my handwriting is not good, so I would still say handwriting.
✓ If I'm honest, I would say handwriting, but I know for a fact that my handwriting is not good, so I would still choose handwriting.
The original sentence uses 'say handwriting' twice. While not strictly a grammatical subject-verb agreement issue, the verb 'say' with a noun direct object is awkward here; 'choose handwriting' fits the context better. Suggestion: use verbs that collocate with choices (choose, prefer) to make the sentence natural and grammatically clear. ID:27 'Subject-verb agreement errors' selected because the student's sentence could be interpreted as needing a verb that agrees with the intended meaning. However the main fix is lexical (prefer/choose) to match context.
× Desktop because at my work I always look at the screen and type on the keyboard.
✓ A desktop, because at work I always look at the screen and type on the keyboard.
The original sentence is understandable but has an article/word-order and register issue: 'Desktop because at my work' is awkward. Changing to 'A desktop, because at work...' corrects article usage and produces a smoother present-tense statement consistent with habitual action. Use 'at work' instead of 'at my work' for natural English.
× When I was growing up, my mom bought a computer and a keyboard, and she helped me learn how to type and how to play games there.
✓ When I was growing up, my mom bought a computer and a keyboard and helped me learn how to type and to play games on it.
Verb tense (past) is correct, but the phrase 'play games there' is awkward; replace 'there' with 'on it' to refer to the computer and streamline verb forms: 'and helped me learn how to type and to play games on it.' Keep past tense throughout for consistency.
× So I started really young, about four years old.
✓ So I started really young, at about four years old.
Add preposition 'at' to correctly mark age reference in the present-tense narration about past event. This is a common collocation: 'started at about four years old.' Tense (past simple 'started') remains appropriate.
× By doing it consistently.
✓ By practicing it consistently.
'Doing it' is vague; use a more specific gerund phrase 'practicing it consistently.' This keeps the -ing form but clarifies the action and improves naturalness. Gerund usage remains correct.
× Because I believe if you want to learn something, you have to do it every day.
✓ Because I believe that if you want to learn something, you have to do it every day.
Add conjunction 'that' for a more grammatically complete and natural sentence. Tense and modal 'have to' are correct for general truth/advice.
× You have to train yourself to do it so that you can improve every single day.
✓ You have to train yourself to do it so that you can improve day by day.
Original is grammatically acceptable; the suggested revision 'day by day' is stylistic to avoid repetition of 'every' and 'day' and to improve fluency. The verb structures (infinitive 'to do', modal 'have to') are correct.
