As a Birthday Present My boyfriend gave me a portable keyboard as a birthday present. I have a tablet but I didn't really use it because it's difficult to type smoothly. But now, I have a portable keyboard which is very light so I'm able to bring my tablet and the keyboard to cafe to study English! Since there is a new opened Starbucks near my house, I will go there with them. I wonder what I will study today.

My boyfriend gave me a portable keyboard as a birthday present.

I have a tablet, but I didn't really use it because it's difficult to type smoothly.
But (It's best not to start sentences with conjunctions such as "but," although there is no rule against it.) However, now I have a portable keyboard which that is very light, so I'm able to bring my tablet and the keyboard to the cafe to study English!
Since there is a newly opened Starbucks near my house, I will go take them there with them me when I go.
I wonder what I will study today...

Hi Hisako, 

Your messages are very clear, and I made slight amendments. We don't say that we "type" using an interactive surface. So, I changed it to "interactive keyboard". I also inserted the indefinite article "a" to describe the cafe because there are no specific details about the cafe. Thirdly, we use the compound adjective (newly-opened) to describe the Starbucks outlet near your residence. Lastly, I assume that "them" is referring to your laptop and portable keyboard. Thus, I grouped them and used the word "gadgets" to describe them. 


Hope all these help you. 

Cheers, 
Lance

Ps I like your positivity when you write "I wonder what I will study today." :)
