× I would say I always prepared handwriting because since my childhood my mother taught me that we knew our handwriting.
✓ I would say I have always preferred handwriting because since my childhood my mother taught me that we should know our handwriting.
Tense and word choice: 'always prepared handwriting' is incorrect. Use present perfect 'have always preferred' to indicate a continuous preference up to now. 'Prepared' is wrong here; 'prefer' expresses choice. 'We knew our handwriting' should be 'we should know our handwriting' to express expectation or taught behavior. Suggestion: use present perfect for ongoing habits and choose verbs that match meaning (prefer, know, should).
× The things you are handwriting is remained in your brain other than typing.
✓ The things you handwrite remain in your brain more than typing does.
Pronoun and verb form errors: 'you are handwriting' is unnatural; use the verb 'handwrite'. 'Is remained' is incorrect passive; use simple present 'remain'. Also compare actions properly: 'more than typing does' clarifies the comparison. Suggestion: use active verbs and correct comparative structure 'X remain more than Y does'. Use subject-verb agreement 'things... remain'.
× So I am saying that handwriting is so special for our study and memorizing things.
✓ So I would say that handwriting is very helpful for studying and memorizing things.
Awkward phrasing: 'special for our study and memorizing things' is unnatural. Use 'helpful for studying and memorizing' to convey purpose. 'So I am saying' can be simplified to 'So I would say'. Suggestion: use gerunds for activities (studying, memorizing) and choose appropriate adjectives (helpful rather than special).
× Since I am in a university, I would always uh, type on a laptop keyboard every day and it every time I type on the keyboard, it's better than next.
✓ Since I am at university, I always type on a laptop keyboard every day, and whenever I type on the keyboard, it works better than the others.
Preposition and tense: use 'at university' rather than 'in a university'. 'I would always type' is wrong for habitual present; use 'I always type'. The clause 'it every time I type on the keyboard, it's better than next' is unclear; rephrase to 'whenever I type... it works better than the others' or specify what 'better' compares to. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions and clear comparative phrases.
× So I always type on the laptop keyboard every day.
✓ So I always type on the laptop keyboard every day.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable but slightly redundant: 'always' and 'every day' both indicate frequency. Suggestion: keep one: either 'I always type on the laptop keyboard' or 'I type on the laptop keyboard every day.'
× OK, that is so interesting question because when I was young, about 6 years old, my big sister taught me how to type on a keyboard.
✓ OK, that is a very interesting question because when I was young, about six years old, my older sister taught me how to type on a keyboard.
Article and word choice: 'so interesting question' should be 'a very interesting question'. Use 'older sister' rather than 'big sister' in this context. Numerals should be written as words in speech transcripts optionally, but grammar-wise '6 years old' to 'six years old' is minor. Tense 'taught' is correct past. Suggestion: fix article and use natural collocations.
× There was a time that was a time when my sister is in, it was in a, uh, college.
✓ There was a time when my sister was in college.
Redundancy and tense/pronoun errors: 'There was a time that was a time when' is repetitive. 'my sister is in, it was in a, uh, college' mixes present and past and unnecessary words. Simplify to 'There was a time when my sister was in college.' Suggestion: remove redundancy and keep consistent past tense for past events.
× So she had uh, laptop.
✓ So she had a laptop.
Missing article: 'had laptop' needs an indefinite article 'a laptop'. Also 'uh' is filler; remove in corrected sentence. Suggestion: include appropriate articles before countable nouns.
× So ** *** taught me, I have to type on a keyboard.
✓ So she taught me that I had to type on a keyboard.
Tense and reporting: reporting past teaching should use past tense 'taught me that I had to...' rather than present 'I have to'. The placeholder '** ***' likely refers to 'she'; replace with appropriate pronoun. Suggestion: keep tense consistent in reported speech (past after past).
× I can't say that type on a keyboard is easy, but when my computer science taught teacher told me was that when you are, when you are uh, doing again and again, it will improve easily.
✓ I can't say that typing on a keyboard is easy, but my computer science teacher told me that if you practice again and again, it will improve easily.
Multiple errors: 'type on a keyboard' should be gerund 'typing'. 'taught teacher' is incorrect order; use 'computer science teacher'. Reporting should be 'told me that if you practice again and again, it will improve.' 'Doing again and again' is vague—use 'practice'. Suggestion: use gerunds for activities, correct word order, and use 'if' for conditionals.
× So I always typed on a keyboard every day.
✓ So I always type on a keyboard every day.
Tense: 'always typed' is past simple but context indicates a present habitual action; use simple present 'always type'. Also redundancy with 'always' and 'every day'—consider removing one. Suggestion: use simple present for current habits.
