× Well it depends. For my notes I always prefer handmaking notes, but whenever I need to send e-mail to anyone I always prefer typing.
✓ Well, it depends. For my notes I always prefer handwriting, but whenever I need to send an email to anyone I always prefer typing.
Problems: 'handmaking notes' is incorrect word choice and form; the correct noun is 'handwriting' or the verb phrase 'to handwrite notes'. Also 'e-mail' can be written as 'email' and needs the article 'an' only in some contexts but here 'send an email to anyone' would be acceptable; I kept 'send an email to anyone' simplified to 'send an email to anyone' implicitly understood. Suggestion: use the noun 'handwriting' or say 'handwrite notes' and use 'email' as one word. Also add commas after introductory phrases for clarity.
× Well, I do not have a desktop but I have a laptop with me. So for typing I use laptop in everyday.
✓ Well, I do not have a desktop but I have a laptop with me. So for typing I use my laptop every day.
Problems: Missing possessive determiner 'my' before 'laptop' and incorrect adverb form 'in everyday' should be 'every day' (two words) when meaning 'each day'. Suggestion: include 'my' to show ownership and use 'every day' for frequency.
× When I was in school I learned about the way of typing on a keyboard as I have a computer classes every day in my school and I always prefer to type, usually most of the days.
✓ When I was in school, I learned how to type on a keyboard because I had computer classes every day at my school, and I usually preferred to type most days.
Problems: 'learned about the way of typing' is awkward — use 'learned how to type'. 'as I have' is wrong tense and connector; use 'because I had' to match past time. 'a computer classes' has article-number mismatch; it should be 'computer classes' without 'a'. Preposition 'in my school' is better as 'at my school'. 'usually most of the days' is redundant; use 'usually' or 'most days'. Suggestion: match past tense throughout and simplify redundant expressions.
× I can improve my typing by practicing everyday because it helps me to improve my typing and I become more efficient and faster in typing everything.
✓ I can improve my typing by practicing every day because it helps me improve and I become more efficient and faster at typing.
Problems: 'everyday' should be 'every day' for the adverbial phrase. Repetition 'helps me to improve my typing' is redundant; simplify to 'helps me improve'. 'in typing everything' is awkward — use 'at typing'. Suggestion: use 'practicing every day', avoid repetition, and use 'efficient and faster at typing' to sound natural.
