× I prefer typing because it's much more convenient and easier for me to save my time and also have more time to explore deeper about the knowledge that I don't actually don't really understand, while handwriting can literally a little bit like waste time and I didn't understand like that so much.
✓ I prefer typing because it's much more convenient and helps me save time and have more time to explore knowledge that I don't really understand, while handwriting can waste a little time and I don't understand it as well.
The sentence contains several pronoun and redundancy errors. 'save my time' should be 'save time' (no possessive pronoun needed). 'the knowledge that I don't actually don't really understand' has double negation and extra adverbs; correct to 'knowledge that I don't really understand'. 'handwriting can literally a little bit like waste time' mixes filler words and incorrect pronoun/reference; correct to 'handwriting can waste a little time'. Suggestion: remove unnecessary words (actually, literally, like), avoid double negatives, and use pronouns (it) clearly to refer to handwriting. Grammar problem type ID:12
× I usually type on laptop keyboard because I think this is not really important no matter how which things you can have to type.
✓ I usually type on a laptop keyboard because I think it is not very important which device you use to type.
The original sentence misuses pronouns and word order: 'on laptop keyboard' needs an article 'a' and 'this is not really important no matter how which things you can have to type' is ungrammatical. Replace with 'it is not very important which device you use to type' for clarity. Suggestion: use correct articles ('a laptop keyboard') and clear pronouns ('it') and simpler structure. Grammar problem type ID:12
× It's much more important that I just focus on the quality of the things that can create for me.
✓ It's much more important that I focus on the quality of the things I create.
Awkward passive/relative clause 'things that can create for me' is incorrect; the subject should be 'I' creating things. Remove unnecessary 'just' and simplify to active voice: 'things I create'. Suggestion: use active voice and correct relative clauses. Grammar problem type ID:26
× So I think laptop keyboard is more convenient and save time for me rather than desktop.
✓ So I think a laptop keyboard is more convenient and saves time for me compared to a desktop.
Missing articles and subject-verb agreement: 'laptop keyboard' needs 'a' and verb 'save' should be 'saves' to agree with singular subject; 'rather than desktop' needs an article and clearer comparison: 'compared to a desktop.' Suggestion: include articles ('a') and match verb number to the subject. Grammar problem type ID:1
× I've just learned how to type on this keyboard recently.
✓ I recently learned how to type on this keyboard.
Present perfect 'I've just learned' with 'recently' is possible but redundant with 'just' and 'recently'; simpler past simple 'I recently learned' fits the completed action. Also 'learned' is correct past participle but tense consistency prefers past simple here. Suggestion: use past simple for a finished action at a specific recent time. Grammar problem type ID:9
× Actually for for to be specific, it might be the last summer that I realized that I have to learn new skills that actually can help me for my studying and work, so I decide to learn it.
✓ Actually, to be specific, it was last summer that I realized I had to learn new skills to help me with my studies and work, so I decided to learn.
Multiple tense and structure errors: 'for for to be specific' redundant, 'it might be the last summer' should be 'it was last summer' for a past event, 'I realized that I have to' should be past 'I realized I had to', and 'help me for my studying' should be 'help me with my studies'. 'I decide to learn it' should be past 'I decided to learn'. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense for past events and use correct prepositions ('with my studies'). Grammar problem type ID:26
× I download an app to help me improve my typing and I think this actually really helped me and I realize that my skills have been improved a lot day by day by just download these apps and again this really helpful and useful if you need a key to improve your typing.
✓ I downloaded an app to help me improve my typing, and I think it really helped me. I realized that my skills improved a lot day by day by regularly using these apps. Again, they were really helpful and useful if you need a tool to improve your typing.
Tense and verb form errors: use past 'downloaded' for a completed action. 'have been improved' passive is awkward; use active 'my skills improved'. 'by just download these apps' should be 'by regularly using these apps'—'using' is the correct -ing form. 'if you need a key' is incorrect metaphor; use 'a tool'. Suggestion: use consistent past tense for completed actions and correct gerund forms ('using'). Grammar problem type ID:8}]}
