× I prefer typing because my handwriting is very bad and nobody understands my handwriting.
✓ I prefer typing because my handwriting is very bad and nobody understands it.
The repeated phrase 'my handwriting' is redundant and sounds unnatural. Replacing the second instance with the pronoun 'it' avoids repetition and is grammatically correct. Use pronouns to refer back to a previously mentioned noun to improve fluency.
× So I prefer typing so that everybody could understand the text I have written or typed.
✓ So I prefer typing so that everybody can understand the text I write or type.
Using 'could' here incorrectly suggests past or conditional meaning. 'Can' expresses general ability in the present, which matches the context. Also simplify 'have written or typed' to 'write or type' to match present general preference.
× Yes, I type on desktop or laptop every day because I help my father in making bills and also I have to type everything every day.
✓ Yes, I type on a desktop or a laptop every day because I help my father make bills, and I have to type many things every day.
Use the articles 'a' before 'desktop' and 'laptop'. The verb phrase 'help my father in making bills' is unnatural in English; use 'help my father make bills'. Also replace the repetitive 'type everything' with 'type many things' for clarity and naturalness.
× Basically in lockdown when it was pandemic everywhere I learned how to type on desktop as it was online classes so we have to use everything on laptop.
✓ Basically during the lockdown, when the pandemic was everywhere, I learned how to type on a desktop because there were online classes, so we had to use the laptop for everything.
Several tense and article issues: use 'during the lockdown' (preposition + article), 'the pandemic' (definite article), and past tense consistency: 'I learned', 'there were online classes', 'we had to use'. Also add articles 'a' or 'the' before 'desktop' and 'laptop' and clarify phrasing for natural English.
× I improve my typing by just practicing typing on keyboard and I write essays on my laptop to practice.
✓ I improve my typing by practicing on the keyboard, and I write essays on my laptop to practice.
The gerund 'practicing' is correct, but 'practicing typing on keyboard' is redundant; 'practicing on the keyboard' is more natural. Add the definite article 'the' before 'keyboard'. Keep parallel structure by linking clauses with 'and'.
