× I prefer typing or handwriting usually.
✓ I usually prefer typing to handwriting.
The original sentence has awkward word order and incorrect choice 'or' when comparing preferences. Use 'usually' before the verb phrase and 'prefer A to B' to show preference. Suggestion: place adverb close to verb and use 'prefer A to B' structure. Grammar problem type ID:26

✓ When we were kids we used to handwrite our notes, but given technological advancements, I think everybody owns a mobile, it's easier to type, and handwritten content is slowly disappearing.
Several issues: 'given the technological advancement' is better as 'given technological advancements' (plural noun usage), 'handwritten' is an adjective that needs noun 'content' is fine but the sentence was long and needed commas and conjunctions for clarity. Also split clauses properly and maintain parallel structure. Suggestion: use plural for general trend and add commas to separate ideas. Grammar problem type ID:13
× Yes, I do type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day.
✓ Yes, I type on a desktop or a laptop keyboard every day.
The auxiliary 'do' is unnecessary in simple present affirmative sentence. Also include article 'a' before 'laptop' for parallelism. Suggestion: use simple present without 'do' and keep articles consistent. Grammar problem type ID:22
× I'm a working professional, thereby it's necessary for my job which involves typing on the keyboard and I'm really fast keyboard typer.
✓ I'm a working professional, so typing is necessary for my job, which involves using a keyboard, and I'm a very fast typist.
'Thereby' is misused; 'so' or 'therefore' fits better. 'Typing on the keyboard' is awkward; 'using a keyboard' or 'typing' suffice. 'Keyboard typer' is nonstandard; use 'typist' or 'fast typist' and include article 'a'. Suggestion: use appropriate conjunctions, correct noun 'typist', and improve noun phrases. Grammar problem type ID:16
× This was the time in my childhood.
✓ This was during my childhood.
The phrase 'the time in my childhood' is awkward; 'during my childhood' is the correct prepositional phrase to indicate a period in the past. Maintain past tense 'was' but use idiomatic expression. Suggestion: use 'during' with periods of life. Grammar problem type ID:6
× When I was five years old, my father brought a PC at my home and there was a Word document on it.
✓ When I was five years old, my father brought a PC to my home, and there was a Word document on it.
Use 'brought X to Y' not 'brought X at Y'. Also add a comma before 'and' to join clauses. Suggestion: use 'to' for movement towards a place. Grammar problem type ID:11
× I usually used to type on the keyboard and learn typing.
✓ I used to type on the keyboard and learn to type.
Do not combine 'usually' with 'used to' in this context; 'used to' already indicates habitual past. Also 'learn typing' is unidiomatic; use 'learn to type'. Suggestion: use either 'usually' with past simple or 'used to' alone, and use 'learn to + verb'. Grammar problem type ID:5
× There are two aspects for improvement typing.
✓ There are two aspects to improving typing.
The phrase 'for improvement typing' is ungrammatical. Use 'aspects to improving' or 'aspects of improving' to indicate areas that help improvement. Suggestion: use gerund 'improving' with 'to' or 'of'. Grammar problem type ID:26
× 1 would be consistency, that is you practice daily.
✓ The first is consistency: you should practice daily.
Using '1' numerically is informal; use 'The first' or 'First'. Also 'that is you practice daily' lacks modal 'should' and punctuation. Suggestion: use 'should' for advice and clearer punctuation. Grammar problem type ID:14
× Second would be speed, you focus on typing fast.
✓ The second is speed: you should focus on typing quickly.
Same structure problem; use 'The second is' and 'should' for advice. 'Typing fast' is acceptable but 'typing quickly' is more natural (adverb). Suggestion: use adverb form and modal for recommendation. Grammar problem type ID:14
× Consistency and speed would help you improve your typing.
✓ Consistency and speed will help you improve your typing.
Using 'would' here is less direct; since giving advice, use 'will' or 'can' for general truth. However 'would' is not strictly wrong; if staying prescriptive better use 'will'. Suggestion: use 'will' or 'can' to state likely outcome. Grammar problem type ID:8
