× I prefer typing because I type quickly and I can correct mistake instantly on a computer.
✓ I prefer typing because I type quickly and I can correct mistakes instantly on a computer.
The noun 'mistake' should be plural here because the speaker refers to making corrections in general (countable noun). Use 'mistakes' to agree with the idea of multiple possible errors. Suggestion: use the plural with quantifiable countable nouns when referring generally (e.g., 'correct mistakes', 'fix errors').
× It's also easier to organize and edit my notes, so I save time when I am studying and writing.
✓ It's also easier to organize and edit my notes, so I save time when I am studying and writing.
No correction needed; sentence is grammatically correct. (Included to show that no article change is required.)
× I'll type on a laptop keyboard because I study every day and, uh, it's convenient.
✓ I type on a laptop keyboard because I study every day and, uh, it's convenient.
The original used 'I'll type' which implies a future intention, but the question asks whether the student types every day. Using simple present 'I type' correctly matches habitual action. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and habits.
× Uh, the laptop is portable and the keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions and, uh, it's easy to use.
✓ The laptop is portable, the keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, and it's easy to use.
No pronoun change required, but combining clauses with proper commas improves clarity. The pronoun 'it' correctly refers to the laptop; keep consistent. Suggestion: use commas and conjunctions to join coordinated clauses for clearer speech-to-written conversion.
× I learned to type often a keyboard when I was about 10 years old during primary school computer classes where we were touching typing basics.
✓ I learned to type on a keyboard when I was about 10 years old during primary school computer classes where we learned touch-typing basics.
Multiple issues: 'often a keyboard' is incorrect preposition and word choice — 'on a keyboard' is correct; 'touching typing basics' is ungrammatical and likely intended 'touch-typing basics' or 'touch typing basics'; 'we were touching typing basics' should be 'we learned touch-typing basics' for correct tense and phrasing. Suggestions: use 'learned' for past completed actions and 'on a keyboard' for the correct preposition; use the correct compound noun 'touch typing' or hyphenated 'touch-typing'. Rephrase to be concise.
× At that time, regular practice with typing, exercise and assignment helped me improve speed and accuracy, which was useful for fuel projects and the later for university.
✓ At that time, regular practice with typing, exercises and assignments helped me improve speed and accuracy, which was useful for future projects and later for university.
Several errors: 'exercise and assignment' should be plural to match 'regular practice' and parallel structure: 'exercises and assignments'; 'fuel projects' is a typo for 'future projects'; 'the later for university' is ungrammatical — use 'later for university' or 'later at university'. Suggestion: ensure parallel forms and correct word choice ('future' not 'fuel'), and use 'later at university' or 'later for university' for clarity.
× I approve my typing by using online typing tutors and the practice websites.
✓ I improve my typing by using online typing tutors and practice websites.
The verb 'approve' is incorrect in this context; the intended verb is 'improve' (to get better). Also 'the practice websites' should be 'practice websites' without 'the'. Suggestion: choose verbs that match meaning ('improve' for getting better) and omit unnecessary articles before plural nouns used generally.
× I use an app that offer daily exercise in the game to increase my speed and accuracy and it tracks my progress so I can see improvement over time.
✓ I use an app that offers daily exercises in the form of games to increase my speed and accuracy, and it tracks my progress so I can see improvement over time.
Subject-verb agreement: 'app' (singular) requires 'offers' not 'offer' — this is a third person singular issue (ID 2) but also corrected here. 'Daily exercise' should be plural 'daily exercises' if multiple practice activities are provided. 'in the game' is awkward; better: 'in the form of games'. Add a comma before 'and' to join clauses. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement, use plural nouns for repeated activities, and phrase idioms ('in the form of games').
