I am not familiar with your device, but a quick Google search got me this:

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-right:3px; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #bfbfbf inset;"]How can I personalise and turn predictive text on and off on my Samsung Galaxy device?

If that doesn't help, you might need to Google your device plus "predictive text" for more detailed instructions.
