Example: I prefer typing to handwriting because most of my work requires using a computer. In addition, I often get wrist pain if I write by hand, so typing is much more comfortable for me. For these reasons, I usually choose a keyboard.

× Actually I prefer typing uh because most of my works require using a computer and also my wrist hurts easily, so I think using using keyboard is more comfortable for me.
✓ Actually I prefer typing because most of my work requires using a computer and also my wrist hurts easily, so I think using a keyboard is more comfortable for me.
'Works' should be 'work' because 'work' as uncountable refers to tasks or job in general. 'Require' must change to 'requires' to agree with singular uncountable subject 'work'. Remove duplicate 'using'. 'Using keyboard' needs an article: 'a keyboard'. Suggestion: Use 'work' for general tasks, ensure verb agrees with subject, and include the appropriate article before singular countable nouns.
× Yes I do, I use my laptop every day. I mainly use it for my studies because of my assignments are done on a computer.
✓ Yes I do, I use my laptop every day. I mainly use it for my studies because my assignments are done on a computer.
'Because of' is followed by a noun phrase; here a full clause follows, so use 'because' not 'because of'. 'Assignments' is fine plural; verb 'are done' agrees. Suggestion: Use 'because' to introduce clauses explaining reasons.
× Also when I prefer for IELTS I usually use my laptop to watch YouTube lectures or take mock tests.
✓ Also when I prepare for the IELTS I usually use my laptop to watch YouTube lectures or take mock tests.
'Prefer for' is incorrect; the correct expression for studying is 'prepare for'. Add article 'the' before 'IELTS'. 'Prepare for' properly conveys getting ready. Suggestion: Use 'prepare for the IELTS' or 'when studying for the IELTS'.
× I first learned how to tie when I was in primary school.
✓ I first learned how to type when I was in primary school.
This is likely a typo: 'tie' should be 'type'. 'Learned' correctly uses past tense because the learning happened in the past. Suggestion: Check for typos that change meaning.
× We had comfort classes where we learned the basics of typing.
✓ We had computer classes where we learned the basics of typing.
'Comfort classes' is incorrect; context indicates 'computer classes'. This is a word choice error rather than grammar, but it affects meaning. Suggestion: Use 'computer classes' to refer to classes teaching computer skills.
× I also improved my skill by using apps that have typing games.
✓ I also improved my skills by using apps that have typing games.
'Skill' plural 'skills' better matches general ability; both are acceptable but 'skills' is more natural. 'Having typing games' is fine; participle structure 'by using' correctly expresses method. Suggestion: Prefer 'skills' when speaking of overall ability.
× Those games were helpful in making me type faster and more accurately.
✓ Those games were helpful in helping me type faster and more accurately.
Both forms are understandable; 'in helping me' is slightly more natural than 'in making me'. No tense change needed. Suggestion: Use 'helping me' after 'helpful' for smoother phrasing.
× I improve my typing mainly through regular practice, but I was in prior school I had I took a couple of classes where I can learn the basic of typings.
✓ I improve my typing mainly through regular practice, but when I was in primary school I took a couple of classes where I learned the basics of typing.
This sentence has multiple issues: 'was in prior school' is ungrammatical — use 'when I was in primary school'. Remove extra 'I had I'. 'I took' past tense matches the past event. 'Where I can learn' should be past 'where I learned'. 'Basic of typings' should be 'basics of typing' (plural noun and uncountable form). Suggestion: Keep tense consistent for past events and correct noun forms.
× Since then I improved my skills by using typing games and practicing consistently.
✓ Since then I have improved my skills by using typing games and practicing consistently.
With 'since then' the present perfect 'have improved' is required to show an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Suggestion: Use present perfect after 'since' or 'since then'.
