× I prefer typing to handwriting because I am a software engineer and I usually use a keyboard to write a code and write a text, so I'm very used to typing over handwriting.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting because I am a software engineer and I usually use a keyboard to write code and text, so I am very used to typing rather than handwriting.
'Write a code' and 'write a text' are incorrect collocations; 'code' and 'text' are uncountable here so no article. 'I'm very used to' is acceptable but 'rather than' is more natural than 'over'. Also expand contraction to 'I am' for formality and clarity.
× I rarely do handwriting use recently.
✓ I rarely do handwriting recently.
Word order is incorrect. 'Do handwriting use' is ungrammatical. Use 'do' + noun rarely isn't typical; better: 'I rarely handwrite recently' or 'I rarely write by hand recently.' The correction uses 'handwrite' (verb) and places adverb 'recently' at end.
× I type on laptop rather than desktop computer because laptop computers is very handy and easy to, uh, take to my office or elsewhere.
✓ I type on a laptop rather than a desktop computer because laptop computers are very handy and easy to take to my office or elsewhere.
Missing articles 'a' before singular nouns. 'Laptop computers is' is subject-verb agreement error; plural subject requires 'are'. Also remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary comma.
× So yeah, it's, it's comfortable for me.
✓ So yeah, it is comfortable for me.
This mainly has redundancy and contractions. Repeated 'it's, it's' is disfluent; use single 'it is' or 'it's'.
× When did you learn how to type on a keyboard? -> I want it when I was a university student, I, it was difficult for me since, uh, until I was a high school student, I, so I practice it, it, uh, without looking, typing. And yeah, now I'm getting.
✓ I learned when I was a university student. It was difficult for me before that because I had learned incorrect habits in high school, so I practiced typing without looking. And now I am getting better.
Original uses present 'want' incorrectly; question asks past 'When did you learn', so use simple past 'learned'. 'Since' and 'until' misused; clarify timing. 'Practice' should be past 'practiced'. 'Without looking' modifies typing. 'Now I'm getting' is incomplete; 'getting better' completes meaning.
× How do you improve your typing? -> Uh, by practicing touch diving every day, I I want to become a programmer, so I have to practice uh programming and coding. So uh, by learning coding, I naturally became.
✓ By practicing touch typing every day. I want to become a programmer, so I have to practice programming and coding. By learning to code, I naturally improved my typing.
'Touch diving' is incorrect; correct term 'touch typing' (noun). Use gerund 'practicing' for activities. 'I I want' duplication removed. 'Learning coding' is unnatural; use 'learning to code'. 'Became' is past and unclear; use 'improved' to show result.
