× I prefer typing more than handwriting, and I believe it is because in our generation, uh typing getting is much more popularity.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting, and I believe it is because in our generation typing is much more popular.
'Prefer X to Y' is the correct pattern (not 'prefer X more than Y'). 'Getting is much more popularity' mixes forms: use the adjective 'popular' with 'is' to describe a trend. The corrected sentence uses 'is much more popular' to express comparative popularity.
× Handwriting of course is an essential skill for the schoolwork, but when at a workplace we normally use the typing on the keyboard, which is much more organized.
✓ Handwriting, of course, is an essential skill for schoolwork, but at work we normally use typing on a keyboard, which is much more organized.
Remove the article 'the' before 'schoolwork' and 'typing' and use 'at work' instead of 'when at a workplace'. Use 'a keyboard' rather than 'the keyboard' for general statements. Commas improve clarity.
× I do neither desktop and laptops.
✓ I use neither desktops nor laptops.
Use the correlative pair 'neither ... nor' and make sure nouns agree in number: 'desktops' and 'laptops' (plural) when speaking generally. Also use 'use' rather than 'do' for devices.
× It is like a very limited to the workplace or home space.
✓ They are usually limited to the workplace or home.
The original has unclear subject and awkward 'a very limited to' phrase. Use a clear subject 'They' (referring to desktops and laptops) and the adjective 'limited to' with the noun phrase 'the workplace or home.'
× So I don't usually be at home or at a workplace.
✓ So I am not usually at home or at a workplace.
Use the verb 'be' in the simple present 'am' for habitual states ('I am not usually...'), not 'don't be.'
× So normally I do typing on my smartphone or iPad which is much more portable and easy to handle during the day.
✓ So normally I do my typing on my smartphone or iPad, which are much more portable and easy to handle during the day.
Use 'do my typing' or simply 'type' and add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause. 'Which' refers to plural devices, so use 'are.'
× I Start learning learning how to do the typing.
✓ I started learning how to type.
Use past tense 'started' for a past action. Use the verb 'type' rather than 'do the typing.' Remove the duplicate 'learning.'
× When I was a junior high school student, it was an A compulsory subject at school and all the children have to attend computer class for learning how to do typing, how to prove through the numbers and the spelling.
✓ When I was a junior high school student, it was a compulsory subject at school and all the children had to attend computer class to learn how to type, how to use the number keys and how to spell correctly.
Use 'a compulsory subject' (lowercase), and past obligation 'had to' rather than 'have to.' Use infinitive 'to learn' not 'for learning.' Replace awkward phrases: 'use the number keys' instead of 'prove through the numbers' and 'spell correctly' for clarity.
× I think all we need to do is a lot of practicing practice every day is worth, uh, enhance our, the typing skill, whether it's on desktop or laptop or even supported devices.
✓ I think all we need to do is practice a lot every day; this enhances our typing skills, whether on a desktop, a laptop, or other devices.
Use 'practice a lot' instead of 'a lot of practicing practice.' Use plural 'typing skills.' Use semicolon or separate clauses for clarity. 'Other devices' is clearer than 'supported devices.'
× So for example, the everydays where we text the message, we start using our typing skill, typing all the content we need and.
✓ For example, in our daily lives when we send messages, we use our typing skills to type the content we need.
Replace 'the everydays' with 'in our daily lives' and 'text the message' with 'send messages.' Remove the trailing 'and' and streamline to a complete sentence. Ensure plural agreement 'skills.'
