× But nowadays, because of professional life and because of technological development, we're type.
✓ But nowadays, because of professional life and technological development, we type.
The phrase 'we're type' mixes a contracted 'we are' with a base verb, causing subject-verb agreement and verb form error. Use the simple present 'we type' to describe a habitual action. Also remove the redundant 'because of' repetition for fluency.
× I type uh, on laptop keyboard every day uh, because of work, I think and also uh in telephone uh, in mobile, uh, I type uh, for uh, chatting and uh, I think because of the.
✓ I type on a laptop keyboard every day because of work, and I also type on my phone for chatting.
Missing articles: 'on laptop keyboard' should be 'on a laptop keyboard'; 'in telephone' and 'in mobile' are incorrect preposition and article use — use 'on my phone'. The final fragment 'because of the.' is incomplete and should be removed. Also streamline redundant fillers for clarity.
× Uh, when I was at, uh, primary school, we have a computer lessons and a first time I learned there and I practice in my professional life a lot, Uh, and I use it in my daily life in laptop and also in my phone.
✓ When I was in primary school, we had computer lessons and I learned to type there for the first time. I have practiced a lot in my professional life, and I use it daily on my laptop and my phone.
Multiple tense and article problems: 'when I was at primary school' — use 'in primary school'; 'we have a computer lessons' mixes present with plural noun and wrong article — use past 'we had computer lessons'; 'a first time I learned there' should be 'I learned to type there for the first time'; 'I practice' should be 'I have practiced' to show continued practice up to the present. Also correct articles 'in my laptop' -> 'on my laptop' and 'in my phone' -> 'on my phone'.
× Uh, by practicing more, I believe even, uh, with umm, lots of practice, I think everyone can improve their typing on the phone or on laptop keyboard.
✓ By practicing more, I believe that with lots of practice everyone can improve their typing on the phone or on a laptop keyboard.
This sentence is mostly correct but needs a conjunction 'that' for clarity and article 'a' before 'laptop keyboard'. The gerund 'practicing' is used correctly; adjust word order and remove extra fillers for fluency.
× There is some courses for that as well, but I think, uh, practice makes it perfect.
✓ There are some courses for that as well, but I think practice makes it perfect.
'There is some courses' is incorrect because 'courses' is plural and requires 'There are' and 'some'. Also 'practice' does not need a comma before it. Consider the idiomatic phrase 'practice makes perfect' rather than 'practice makes it perfect.'
