Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?

Not every day, but most of the time. I use my laptop to create lesson plans, edit slides and keep students records. For example, I use Microsoft Office tools to make PowerPoint presentation and upload grades in our system.

× I prefer typing because it's more easy and convenient, especially when I'm writing emails and lesson plans.
✓ I prefer typing because it's easier and more convenient, especially when I'm writing emails and lesson plans.
The comparative form of the adjective 'easy' is 'easier', not 'more easy'. Use 'easier' and 'more convenient' to compare. Suggestion: use correct comparative adjective forms (one-word comparatives like 'easier') and keep parallel structure when listing qualities.
× My handwriting is quite messy, so type notes makes it easier to share and read with my colleagues.
✓ My handwriting is quite messy, so typing notes makes it easier to share and read with my colleagues.
The verb phrase 'type notes makes' is incorrect: 'type' should be the gerund 'typing' to function as a noun subject, and the singular verb 'makes' then agrees with that subject. Suggestion: use 'typing notes makes' or rephrase as 'so it is easier to share typed notes'.
× Not every day, but most of the time. I use my laptop to create lesson plans, edit slides and keep students records.
✓ Not every day, but most of the time. I use my laptop to create lesson plans, edit slides and keep students' records.
Possessive nouns require an apostrophe: 'students records' should be 'students' records' to show the records belong to the students. This is a punctuation/possessive error closely tied to noun form. Suggestion: add the apostrophe for possessive nouns.
× For example, I use Microsoft Office tools to make PowerPoint presentation and upload grades in our system.
✓ For example, I use Microsoft Office tools to make PowerPoint presentations and upload grades into our system.
Countable noun 'presentation' should be plural 'presentations' if speaking generally. Also American/British preposition: use 'into our system' to indicate where grades go. Suggestion: use plural for general activities and 'into' for movement into a system.
× I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in college during a computer class.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in college during a computer class.
This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense; no change needed. It correctly uses past tense 'learned' to describe a past event. Suggestion: none.
× It was my first hands on experience because I don't have access to technology at home, so the course taught me the basics of touch typing and improved my speed and accuracy.
✓ It was my first hands-on experience because I didn't have access to technology at home, so the course taught me the basics of touch typing and improved my speed and accuracy.
Use hyphen in the compound adjective 'hands-on'. Also maintain past-tense consistency: 'don't have' should be 'didn't have' because the speaker refers to past circumstances. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjectives and keep tense consistent in the same timeframe.
× I improve my typing by practicing regularly.
✓ I improve my typing by practising regularly.
Both forms are grammatically fine, but in Australian English 'practising' (with 's') is preferred for the verb form. Suggestion: use Australian spelling 'practising' to match dialect.
× For instance, I download apps such as Typing Master and practice 20 to 30 minutes every day so I can memorize the layout and improve my typing speed to 60 words per minute.
✓ For instance, I download apps such as Typing Master and practise for 20 to 30 minutes every day so I can memorise the layout and improve my typing speed to 60 words per minute.
In Australian English, use 'practise' (verb) and 'memorise' (s). Also include 'for' before time durations: 'practise for 20 to 30 minutes'. Suggestion: add 'for' and use Australian spellings 'practise' and 'memorise'.
