× I prefer typing because typing is convenient after day I can save my time and type a loss worth compared to handwriting.
✓ I prefer typing because it is convenient; during the day I can save time and type a lot compared to handwriting.
Original sentence has incorrect and missing prepositions and awkward phrases: 'after day' should be 'during the day'; 'save my time' is better as 'save time'; 'type a loss worth' is ungrammatical and likely intended to be 'type a lot'. Also avoid repeating 'typing' unnecessarily and use a semicolon to connect related clauses.
× Yes, actually I tap on the laptop keyboard every day because now I'm preparing my IELTS exam and usually I will use my laptop to practice the ILS writing every day.
✓ Yes, I use the laptop keyboard every day because I am preparing for my IELTS exam and usually I use my laptop to practice IELTS writing.
Problems: pronoun/verb choice 'tap' is informal and odd here—use 'use' or 'type on'; 'preparing my IELTS exam' needs preposition 'preparing for'; 'will use' is inappropriate for habitual action—use present simple 'use'; 'ILS' is a typo for 'IELTS'. Correct pronouns and tense for habitual action.
× I learned how to type on a keyboard since I was seven years old.
✓ I learned how to type on a keyboard when I was seven years old.
Use 'when' with a specific past time ('since' is used with present perfect). The verb 'learned' is past simple and matches 'when I was seven', so 'when' is appropriate.
× In primary school, my computer teacher really teach us how to tap on the keyboard using, uh, apps.
✓ In primary school, my computer teacher really taught us how to type on the keyboard using apps.
Verb form error: 'teach' should be past 'taught' to match past context. Also 'tap' is informal—use 'type'. Remove filler 'uh' in written correction and place verbs in past tense for consistency.
× That's very interesting for us to learn.
✓ That was very interesting for us to learn.
The event is described in past context, so use past tense 'was' rather than present 'is' or 'that's'.
× Well, I everyday practice I else writing on the laptop and in this moment I also practice my typing to become faster and more correct.
✓ Well, I practise writing on the laptop every day, and at the moment I am also practising my typing to become faster and more accurate.
Multiple issues: word order ('everyday practice' should be 'practice ... every day'); extraneous words ('I else' is incorrect and removed); 'in this moment' should be 'at the moment'; tense consistency—use present continuous 'am practising' for current activities; 'more correct' is unnatural—use 'more accurate' or 'more correct' can be 'more accurate'. Also use consistent spelling: 'practise' or 'practice' depending on variety; here corrected to 'practising'.
