× I do prefer typing because it is easier to read and also not consume a lot of time.
✓ I prefer typing because it is easier to read and also does not take a lot of time.
The original uses 'do prefer' which is unnecessary for a simple present preference; use 'prefer'. Also 'not consume a lot of time' is incorrect in form and subject agreement. Use 'does not take a lot of time' to match third-person singular subject 'it' and the idiomatic verb 'take' for time. ID:6
× I type on a desktop keyboard on weekdays and laptop on weekends because my office has only PC computer with a separate keyboard, while I have a laptop at home.
✓ I type on a desktop keyboard on weekdays and a laptop on weekends because my office only has a PC with a separate keyboard, while I have a laptop at home.
Missing articles: use 'a laptop' and 'a PC'. Word order 'only has a PC' is more natural than 'has only PC computer'. Also 'PC computer' is redundant; 'PC' alone is sufficient. ID:22
× I think I have learned typing on keyboard since I was in primary school.
✓ I think I learned to type on the keyboard since I was in primary school.
When using 'since' with a past time, the present perfect continuous or simple can be appropriate, but here 'learned' (simple past) or 'have learned' with correct phrase 'to type' and article 'the keyboard' is better. 'Learned typing on keyboard' is ungrammatical; use 'learned to type on the keyboard'. ID:5
× In the third grade maybe?
✓ Maybe in the third grade.
The original is a fragment and awkwardly punctuated as a question. Reorder to 'Maybe in the third grade' to make it a clear, complete sentence or clause option. ID:26
× But yeah that's why I hell honest because my school at the time offered this subject.
✓ But yeah, I'm being honest because my school at the time offered this subject.
'hell honest' is incorrect and likely a typo; use 'being honest' or 'honest'. Also include contraction 'I'm' for 'I am' and add comma after 'But yeah'. Ensure the sentence structure clearly links honesty to the school's offering of the subject. ID:20
× In the past, I used online typing websites and practice almost every day because the exercises were set up like games which made them fun.
✓ In the past, I used online typing websites and practiced almost every day because the exercises were set up like games, which made them fun.
Mixing past 'used' with present 'practice' is inconsistent. Use past tense 'practiced' to match 'used' and 'were set up'. Also add a comma before the nonrestrictive clause 'which made them fun'. ID:5
× By doing time drill and accuracy exercises regularly, my typing speed and accurate.
✓ By doing timed drills and accuracy exercises regularly, my typing speed and accuracy improved.
The phrase 'time drill' should be 'timed drills' and 'my typing speed and accurate' is ungrammatical; pair nouns or verbs correctly: 'typing speed and accuracy' are nouns, so use a verb 'improved' to complete the clause. Past tense 'improved' fits the context of past practice. ID:13
