× I prefer typing rather than handwriting since nowadays the improvement of technology could facilitate us with the amazing features.
✓ I prefer typing to handwriting since recent improvements in technology can provide us with many useful features.
Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A rather than B'. 'Nowadays' and 'the improvement of technology' are awkward; 'recent improvements in technology' is clearer. 'Could facilitate us with' is incorrect phrasing — use 'can provide us with' or 'offer us'. Also change 'the amazing features' to 'many useful features' for naturalness.
× For example, I type with my laptop to work easier and can editing my work.
✓ For example, I type on my laptop to work more easily and can edit my work.
Use 'type on' not 'type with' the laptop (preposition issue). 'Work easier' needs adverb 'more easily' (adjective/adverb misuse). After modal 'can' use base verb 'edit', not '-ing' form.
× I do type on laptop keyboard every day.
✓ I do type on a laptop keyboard every day.
Omit or add article: 'a laptop keyboard' is required (article error/ preposition context). Also 'do' is unnecessary but acceptable for emphasis; kept here but corrected article.
× As my job is always moving from the one side to another location.
✓ Because my job always requires me to move from one place to another.
'As' can mean 'because' but sentence structure is awkward. 'Is always moving' wrongly makes 'job' the actor; better: 'my job requires me to move'. 'From the one side to another location' is unidiomatic — use 'from one place to another'.
× It requires me a portable laptop so that I can access it anywhere anytime.
✓ It requires me to have a portable laptop so that I can access it anywhere, anytime.
'Requires me a portable laptop' is incorrect; use 'requires me to have' or 'requires that I have'. Add comma between 'anywhere' and 'anytime' for clarity.
× I have learned to type on a keyboard since I was in junior high school.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was in junior high school.
Using 'have learned ... since' is incorrect with a specific past starting point; either use present perfect with 'since' and a continuing state ('I have been typing since...') or simple past 'I learned ... when I was'. Here 'learned' is more natural.
× At that time, I was taught how to type clearly and firmly.
✓ At that time, I was taught how to type clearly and accurately.
'Firmly' is odd for typing; 'accurately' or 'correctly' better describes typing skill. The passive 'was taught' is fine.
× As the time goes by, I improved my skill gradually.
✓ As time went by, I improved my skill gradually.
Mix of present 'goes' and past 'improved' is inconsistent. Use past 'went' with 'improved'. Also 'As time goes by' could be present; choose consistent tense.
× I enhance my typing skill by working on it every day.
✓ I improve my typing skill by practicing every day.
'Enhance' is acceptable but 'improve' is more natural here. 'Working on it' is vague; use 'practicing'. Also 'typing skill' is usually 'typing skills' (singular/plural issue), but 'skill' is acceptable; consider 'skills'.
× As a result, the muscle memory of my finger will direct me how to type properly and correctly.
✓ As a result, the muscle memory in my fingers tells me how to type properly and accurately.
'The muscle memory of my finger' is awkward: use 'muscle memory in my fingers'. 'Will direct me how to' is unnatural; 'tells me how to' or 'helps me know how to' is better. Use 'accurately' instead of redundant 'properly and correctly'.
