× 'Typing would do me a lot of thinking and then writing give.'
✓ 'I prefer both. Typing helps me think a lot, and writing helps me express my ideas.'
'Typing would do me a lot of thinking and then writing give' is ungrammatical because verb phrases and objects are not correctly formed and the sentence lacks parallel structure. Suggestion: use clear verbs (helps, express) and parallel structure for the two activities: "Typing helps me think a lot, and writing helps me express my ideas." This matches the present habitual preference context.
× 'Giving is giving me a lot of thoughts that I would write.'
✓ 'Writing gives me many ideas that I can write down.'
'Giving is giving me a lot of thoughts that I would write' is incorrect because the noun/verb forms are confused and the clause structure is unclear. Use the noun "writing" as the subject and a clear verb "gives," then a relative clause with modal or ability: "that I can write down." This yields a clear, grammatical meaning.
× 'In my today's life, it's yes because I'm working as a cashier and I am responsible to type a customer name.'
✓ 'Yes, in my daily life I work as a cashier and I am responsible for typing customers' names.'
'In my today's life, it's yes' is awkward and ungrammatical; use "in my daily life." Also "responsible to type a customer name" uses incorrect verb pattern and article. Use 'responsible for' + gerund, and pluralize 'customers' if general, and possessive apostrophe: 'customers' names.' The present continuous "I'm working" can become simple present "I work" for habitual actions.
× 'When I was elementary, I used to go to a computer shop to play, to search for the assignment and to do my research of course.'
✓ 'When I was in elementary school, I used to go to a computer shop to play, search for assignments, and do research.'
'When I was elementary' omits the noun 'school.' Also the list uses inconsistent forms (infinitives repeated unnecessarily) and singular 'assignment' should be plural if general. Recommend: 'When I was in elementary school, I used to go to a computer shop to play, search for assignments, and do research.' This corrects noun usage and parallelism in a past habitual context.
× 'I improve my typing for making do it every day.'
✓ 'I improve my typing by practicing every day.'
'I improve my typing for making do it every day' is ungrammatical: 'for making do it' is meaningless and the intended method should be expressed with 'by' + gerund. 'Practice' is the correct verb for improving a skill. Use 'by practicing every day' to indicate method and habitual action.'
