× I prefer typing over handwriting because for me typing is an umm electronic devices.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because, for me, typing is an electronic device.
The student used the plural noun 'devices' and the indefinite article 'an' incorrectly. Use 'an' with a singular countable noun and ensure noun number matches: 'an electronic device'. Also use 'prefer X to Y' instead of 'prefer X over Y' for idiomatic preference expression. Suggestion: say 'I prefer typing to handwriting because, for me, typing is an electronic device.'
× So it takes it takes me shorter time to write.
✓ So it takes me less time to write.
The phrase 'shorter time' is awkward; use 'less time' for uncountable time expressions. Also the repetition 'it takes it takes' is redundant. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and use 'less time'.
× Guess I need to type on laptop keyboard every day because I'm a student and I have a lot of home tasks to do.
✓ I guess I need to type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm a student and I have a lot of homework to do.
Missing subject 'I' at the start and missing articles before 'laptop keyboard'. 'Home tasks' is non-idiomatic; use 'homework'. Suggestion: include 'I' and articles: 'I guess I need to type on a laptop keyboard every day because I'm a student and I have a lot of homework to do.'
× Uh, every day so.
✓ Uh, every day.
Fragment 'every day so' is unnecessary and ungrammatical; 'so' should be removed or connected to a full clause. Suggestion: simply say 'Every day.' or complete the thought: 'I type every day.'
× But for me typing on laptop keyboard is very convenient and fast, faster than handwriting so I love it.
✓ But for me, typing on a laptop keyboard is very convenient and fast — faster than handwriting, so I love it.
Missing articles before 'laptop keyboard'. Also sentence needs punctuation for clarity; 'faster than handwriting' contrasts properly when offset by commas. Suggestion: add 'a' and improve punctuation: 'typing on a laptop keyboard is very convenient and fast, faster than handwriting, so I love it.'
× I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in school.
✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was in school.
This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense; no change needed. Suggestion: maintain past tense for past learning events.
× It was a compulsory class for every teenagers in Vietnam.
✓ It was a compulsory class for every teenager in Vietnam.
Using 'every' requires a singular noun: 'every teenager', not 'every teenagers'. Suggestion: use singular after 'every'. Alternatively 'for teenagers' without 'every'.
× So for me, typing is not a hard skill, but it's become a part of my life.
✓ So for me, typing is not a hard skill, but it has become a part of my life.
Present perfect 'has become' is required to indicate change up to the present; 'it's become' omits 'has' which is incorrect contraction. Suggestion: use 'it has become' or contraction 'it's become' only if 'it's' stands for 'it has' which is informal but acceptable; ensure clarity by writing 'it has become'.
× To improve to improve my typing I just type a lot.
✓ To improve my typing, I just type a lot.
Redundant repetition 'To improve to improve' must be corrected. Also add comma after introductory phrase. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and punctuate correctly.
× I'm a student and I have to do assignment almost every day, so typing skills is because has become one of the essential skills of my student life, so it improve.
✓ I'm a student and I have to do assignments almost every day, so typing skills have become one of the essential skills of my student life, so they improve.
Multiple issues: 'assignment' should be plural 'assignments'; 'typing skills' is plural so verb should be 'have become' not 'is'; phrase 'is because has become' is garbled and missing subject; final clause 'so it improve' needs subject-verb agreement: 'they improve' or better 'so my typing has improved'. Suggestion: rewrite as 'I'm a student and I have to do assignments almost every day, so typing has become one of the essential skills of my student life and my typing has improved.'
