× I prefer handwriting especially when I need white later.
✓ I prefer handwriting, especially when I need to write later.
The word 'white' is a misspelling of 'write' (a verb). This is an incorrect word choice, which is categorized as adjective/adverb misuse in this list. Correct the verb to 'write'. Also add a comma before 'especially' for clarity.
× Thank you card and birthday card.
✓ Thank-you cards and birthday cards.
This fragment lacks a verb and sounds like a noun list. It should be plural to match general examples (cards) and 'thank-you' is typically hyphenated when used as a noun modifier. Make it plural to match the intended meaning of examples.
× I think handwriting can express my heart more better.
✓ I think handwriting can express my heart better.
'More better' is a redundant comparative. Use a single comparative such as 'better'. Also consider 'express my feelings' as a more natural phrase than 'express my heart'.
× Most often I get used to using laptop keyboard because I like the layout of the laptop and it is more efficient.
✓ I usually use a laptop keyboard because I like its layout and it is more efficient.
'Get used to using' suggests a process; the simple present 'usually use' fits habitual action. Also add 'a' before 'laptop keyboard' and change 'the layout of the laptop' to the possessive 'its layout' for natural English.
× However, if I use the desktop keyboard, I need to buy other equipment and it is heavy and a little bit noisy.
✓ However, if I use a desktop keyboard, I need to buy additional equipment, and it is heavy and a bit noisy.
Use 'a desktop keyboard' (indefinite article) unless a specific one was mentioned. 'Other' -> 'additional' is more natural here. 'A little bit noisy' is wordy; 'a bit noisy' is concise. Add a comma before 'and' for clarity.
× I learned type on the keyboard.
✓ I learned to type on the keyboard.
The correct structure is 'learned to + verb' (learned to type). 'Learned type' is ungrammatical; add 'to' before 'type'.
× Maybe it's in my primary time and it is the third year.
✓ Maybe it was during primary school, in my third year.
'Primary time' is unnatural; use 'primary school'. The past reference requires past tense 'was' not 'is'. 'The third year' should be 'in my third year' for correct preposition and reference.
× The teacher told us how to use the computer and the keyboard it the listen, code, information and technology.
✓ The teacher taught us how to use the computer and the keyboard in the class called Listening, Coding, Information and Technology.
The original sentence has multiple issues: wrong verb ('told' -> 'taught' is more appropriate), missing preposition ('in the class'), and unclear phrase 'it the listen, code, information and technology'. Rephrase to a clear noun phrase for the class name and correct word order.
× In fact, I haven't intend to improve my typing before, but I think if you want to improve this, you should have a faster speed and practice more to have a high accuracy.
✓ In fact, I didn't intend to improve my typing before, but I think if you want to improve it, you should increase your speed and practice more to achieve high accuracy.
Use past tense 'didn't intend' rather than present perfect 'haven't intend' which is ungrammatical. 'Improve this' is vague; 'improve it' refers to typing. 'Have a faster speed' is awkward; use 'increase your speed.' 'To have a high accuracy' -> 'to achieve high accuracy'.
