× I prefer writing by hand. I keep a daily diary and I find that putting my thought on paper help me remember things better.
✓ I prefer writing by hand. I keep a daily diary and I find that putting my thoughts on paper helps me remember things better.
Two errors: 'thought' should be plural 'thoughts' (Singular and plural issue ID 1) because diary entries are multiple thoughts; 'help' must agree with singular subject 'putting my thoughts on paper' so use 'helps' (Subject-verb agreement ID 27). Suggestion: ensure noun number matches context and make the verb agree with the gerund phrase as a singular noun. Grammar problem type ID: 1 & 27
× I don't have a desktop, uh, I have laptop, so I do tap on laptop keyboard every day.
✓ I don't have a desktop; I have a laptop, so I tap on the laptop keyboard every day.
Errors: missing article before 'laptop' and 'laptop keyboard' (Article errors ID 22 / Incorrect use of the definite article ID 17). Also 'do tap' is unnecessary emphatic auxiliary; simple present 'tap' is correct for habitual action (Present tense issue ID 6). Suggestions: use 'a laptop' for indefinite singular and 'the laptop keyboard' when referring to that specific device; remove unnecessary 'do'. Grammar problem type ID: 22 & 17 & 6
× I learn how to type on the keyboard when I was around 7:00 during a computer class at school.
✓ I learned how to type on the keyboard when I was around seven during a computer class at school.
Tense error: mixing present 'learn' with past time 'when I was'—use past tense 'learned' (Past tense issue ID 5). Also time expression '7:00' is awkward for age; use 'seven' (Sentence structure ID 26). Suggestion: match verb tense to the past time reference and express age as a number word. Grammar problem type ID: 5 & 26
× I practice typing regularly using online typing program to build my muscle memory.
✓ I practice typing regularly using an online typing program to build my muscle memory.
Missing article before 'online typing program' (Article errors ID 22). The rest is fine: 'using' correctly links the action (Verb + -ing form ID 8). Suggestion: include 'an' before singular countable nouns and keep the gerund 'using' for describing how you practice. Grammar problem type ID: 22 & 8
