× I prefer a handwriting because it's helped me to, uh, remember the word and I feel more focused when I write something.
✓ I prefer handwriting because it helps me remember words and I feel more focused when I write.
Use of the indefinite article 'a' before an uncountable noun 'handwriting' is incorrect; remove it. 'It's helped me to remember the word' mixes tenses and uses singular 'word' incorrectly. Change to present simple 'it helps' to express general preference and 'remember words' (plural) for general meaning. Remove unnecessary 'to' after 'remember'. Also simplify 'something' to 'when I write' for clarity.
× So yeah, uh, handwriting because I am a hard copy person.
✓ So yeah, handwriting, because I prefer hard copies.
'I am a hard copy person' is informal and awkward; instead use 'I prefer hard copies' which uses correct plural form 'copies' and a verb 'prefer' to express habit. This fixes adjective/adverb misuse and improves clarity.
× I used to read and study like this all the time.
✓ I used to read and study like this all the time.
This sentence is grammatically correct for describing a past habitual action, so no change is necessary.
× Yeah, I type on using my laptop every day.
✓ Yeah, I type on my laptop every day.
Combining 'type on' with 'using' is redundant and ungrammatical. Use the simple present 'I type on my laptop every day' to describe a habitual action.
× Basically it makes me feel better and organize all the day, all the day.
✓ Basically it makes me feel better and helps me stay organized throughout the day.
'Organize all the day, all the day' is awkward and ungrammatical. Use 'helps me stay organized' with 'throughout the day' to express continuous organization. Add 'helps' to maintain parallel verb structure with 'makes'.
× I usually, uh, boat, uh, some estates for my, uh, master, uh, thesis.
✓ I usually write some essays for my master's thesis.
'Boat' and 'estates' are incorrect word choices likely meant to be 'write' and 'essays'. Use 'master's thesis' with possessive form and correct noun 'essays'. This fixes word choice and noun form errors.
× And I used to write, I wrote many, uh, paragraphs.
✓ I used to write many paragraphs.
Combining 'used to write' and 'I wrote' is redundant. Choose one past habitual form: 'I used to write many paragraphs.' Also remove filler words to improve fluency.
× Actually, I learned that in my when I was a child, my dad was a motivate me to learn how to learn about the laptop and so on.
✓ Actually, I learned that when I was a child; my dad motivated me to learn how to use a laptop and so on.
'In my when I was a child' is ungrammatical; use 'when I was a child'. 'Was a motivate me' is incorrect; use past simple 'motivated me'. 'Learn about the laptop' should be 'learn how to use a laptop' to convey correct meaning.
× My dad was a teacher and professor in the computer science department.
✓ My dad was a teacher and a professor in the computer science department.
Add the article 'a' before 'professor' for parallel structure 'a teacher and a professor'. This corrects article/pronoun reference and improves grammatical parallelism.
× So he teach me that.
✓ So he taught me that.
The verb 'teach' must be in the past tense 'taught' because the context is past ('when I was a child'). This corrects a past tense error.
× He teach me that before, so when I was.
✓ He taught me that before, when I was young.
Replace 'teach' with past tense 'taught' and complete the sentence; 'when I was' is incomplete—add 'young' or 'a child' to finish the thought.
× Buy practice every day.
✓ By practicing every day, I improve my typing.
'Buy practice every day' contains a spelling error 'Buy' instead of 'By' and lacks a clear verb phrase. Use a gerund 'practicing' and present simple result 'I improve' to form a full, grammatical sentence.
× So, uh, each day I started to wrote, uh, some paragraph, uh, starting with five line, then adding more five line and like this, uh, improving my typing like this with the practice all the day makes me feel that I can.
✓ Each day I started to write some paragraphs, beginning with five lines and then adding five more; practicing like this every day improved my typing.
Multiple errors: 'started to wrote' mixes infinitive and past; correct is 'started to write' or 'started writing'. 'Paragraph' should be plural 'paragraphs'. 'Five line' should be 'five lines'. Use past tense 'improved' to match 'started'. Replace 'all the day' with 'every day'. Rephrase to remove redundancies and complete the final clause.
