Is this a laptop or desktop. Either way, try a different keyboard. That will tell you if it is hardware or software. If it happens on another keyboard, resubmit your help request with that info.
SOURCE: I cannot writte some letters
Obtain any model of USB keyboard from any other computer and plug it into your MacBook. If you can type those letters from that keyboard, you have a keyboard hardware issue. If you still can't, check System Preferences / International and make sure you are set to use the US keyboard.

It sounds like your keyboard has probably failed, and needs replacing.
In the short-term, you could get hold of a USB keyboard and plug that in to use instead.
Hook an external keyboard if available, if okay! keyboard on the laptop will need to be replaced.
The keyboard takes a lot of abuse and as durable as it is, they will eventually wear out. It is a very inexpensive part to replace and does not require a lot of skill. The fact that the touch pad is acting up could indicate that they are interconnected. I would replace both. The Touch pad is a more involved part to replace and I would suggest you get some help or pay to have it replaced.
You can order them off of sites like eBay, then watch a YouTube video on how to do it.
