× For personal notes I prefer handwriting codes.
✓ For personal notes I prefer handwriting.
The word 'codes' is unnecessary and incorrect here. The student likely meant 'handwriting' as a noun. Remove 'codes' to make the sentence natural and grammatically correct. Suggestion: say 'I prefer handwriting for personal notes.'
× I am fast by hand and it helps to remember things.
✓ I am fast at writing by hand and it helps me remember things.
'Fast by hand' is unidiomatic. Use the adjective phrase 'fast at writing by hand.' Also include the object 'me' after 'helps' and drop 'to' before 'remember.' Suggestion: 'I am fast at writing by hand and it helps me remember things.'
× For professional documents I prefer typing because the professional documentation need to be need and easy to share and edit.
✓ For professional documents I prefer typing because professional documents need to be neat and are easy to share and edit.
Multiple issues: 'the professional documentation' is wordy and the noun should be plural 'documents.' 'Need to be need' is incorrect; intended word is 'neat.' Subject-verb agreement: 'documents need' (plural) and use 'are easy' to link the adjective. Suggestion: use 'professional documents need to be neat and are easy to share and edit.'
× I usually prefer laptop because it's portable.
✓ I usually prefer a laptop because it's portable.
Missing article 'a' before 'laptop' is required for singular countable nouns. Suggestion: 'I usually prefer a laptop because it is portable.'
× For example while you are travelling or you are sitting in a park you can easily type on it.
✓ For example, while travelling or sitting in a park, you can easily type on it.
Redundant repetition of 'you are' is unnecessary. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: omit repeated pronouns and simplify: 'while travelling or sitting in a park.'
× When you are far from home you you cannot get access to desktop so I rarely use one.
✓ When I am far from home, I cannot access a desktop, so I rarely use one.
Pronoun inconsistency: the student shifts from 'you' to 'I.' Maintain first person 'I' to match the context. Remove duplicated 'you.' Use 'access a desktop' instead of 'get access to desktop.' Add commas for clarity. Suggestion: 'When I am far from home, I cannot access a desktop, so I rarely use one.'
× I learn typing in my teenage years.
✓ I learned to type in my teenage years.
Tense is wrong: the action of learning occurred in the past, so use past tense 'learned.' Also use the correct verb pattern 'learned to type' rather than 'learn typing.' Suggestion: 'I learned to type when I was a teenager.'
× I often do practice on a keyboard and play typing games and watch my elder brothers.
✓ I often practice on a keyboard, play typing games, and watch my older brothers.
'Do practice' is awkward; use 'practice.' Preposition 'on a keyboard' is fine. 'Elder brothers' is nonstandard in this context; use 'older brothers.' Add commas in a list. Suggestion: 'I often practice on a keyboard, play typing games, and watch my older brothers.'
× I copied their finger placement and do practice do practicing.
✓ I copied their finger placement and practiced regularly.
Sentence contains redundancy and wrong verb forms. 'Do practice do practicing' is incorrect. Use simple past 'practiced' to match past timeframe and adverb 'regularly' for frequency. Suggestion: 'I copied their finger placement and practiced regularly.'
× I improved my typing by everyday practice.
✓ I improved my typing through daily practice.
'Everyday' is an adjective meaning 'common'; the correct adverb/adjective for 'each day' is 'daily.' Also 'through' is a more natural preposition for the means. Suggestion: 'I improved my typing through daily practice.'
× While you are in a university, a frequent projects and assignments forced me to type.
✓ While I was at university, frequent projects and assignments forced me to type.
Pronoun tense mismatch and article/preposition issues: use 'I' and past tense 'was.' Use 'at university' (common phrasing) and remove 'a' before 'frequent projects' because projects is plural. Suggestion: 'While I was at university, frequent projects and assignments forced me to type.'
× I used to practice online typing exercises which help me to get confident and make me a typist.
✓ I used to practice online typing exercises which helped me gain confidence and become a typist.
Tense consistency: 'used to' requires past tense 'helped.' Use correct collocations: 'gain confidence' and 'become a typist.' Remove unnecessary 'to' in 'get confident.' Suggestion: 'I used to practice online typing exercises which helped me gain confidence and become a typist.'
