× I do like both, both of them and in the traditional way, I do like handwriting.
✓ I like both, and I prefer handwriting in the traditional way.
The original uses redundant and awkward quantifiers 'both, both of them' and unnecessary emphatic 'do like'. Use 'I like both' once and 'prefer' for preference. Keep simple present tense for general preference.
× It's uh, looks more smooth and uh, more traditional.
✓ It looks smoother and more traditional.
'More smooth' is nonstandard; comparative of 'smooth' is 'smoother'. Also remove filler 'it's' before 'looks' — use 'it looks' directly.
× But nowadays, you know, people are very into the Internet and every assignment are based on the Internet.
✓ But nowadays, people use the Internet a lot and every assignment is based on the Internet.
Subject-verb agreement: 'every assignment' is singular and requires 'is' not 'are'. Also 'people are very into the Internet' is awkward; 'people use the Internet a lot' is clearer.
× So I would think.
✓ So I would say so.
'I would think' is incomplete and unnatural in this context. Use 'I would say so' or 'I think so' to express opinion.
× Yes, I do both of them because I have to do those kind of assignment on the Internet and having some kind of, uh, various of, uh, researches.
✓ Yes, I do both because I have to do those kinds of assignments on the Internet and do various kinds of research.
'Both of them' unnecessary after 'I do both'; 'those kind of assignment' should be plural 'those kinds of assignments'; 'various of researches' is incorrect — use 'various kinds of research' or 'various researches' (research is usually uncountable).
× So basically I have to type on desktop or laptop keyboard every day.
✓ So basically I have to type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day.
Missing article 'a' before 'desktop or laptop keyboard'. Use 'a desktop or laptop keyboard' for correct noun phrase.
× I would say that it's in the, uh, secondary schools because at that time I start with umm, I got my first PC computers at the time I very into playing some kind of video games at that time.
✓ I would say it was in secondary school because at that time I started with it; I got my first PC then and I was very into playing video games.
Tense consistency: use past tense 'was', 'started', 'got', 'was' for past events. Remove repeated 'at that time' and correct 'PC computers' (redundant) to 'PC'. 'Very into' requires 'was very into'.
× I, uh, tried to try hard to.
✓ I tried hard to learn.
Original is incomplete and contains redundancy 'tried to try'. Provide a complete verb phrase 'tried hard to learn' to clarify the intention.
× I do have some kind of app website to try to improve my typing skills.
✓ I have some kind of app or website to try to improve my typing skills.
'App website' is incorrect combination; use 'an app or website' or 'a website or an app'. Also 'I do have' unnecessary emphatic 'do' in neutral statement.
× Umm, it sounds a bit stupid but umm, it's a really fast way to help me improve it.
✓ It may sound a bit silly, but it is a really quick way to help me improve my typing.
'Sounds stupid' is harsh; 'silly' is softer. 'Really fast way' -> 'really quick way'. Clarify 'improve it' to 'improve my typing'.
