Hard decision [audio included] Hi all, how are you doing? I can say my weekend was good, I spent some time just chillin at home because I was really needing to rest. However, It's not the reason why I wrote it. One thing in particular is getting me mad. I have to decide if I will take the TOEFL exam next month or in the end of year. Actually I don't feel I'm prepared for it, but a good score on TOEFL is a requirement in order to participate this program. According to the schedule, they will open new enrollments in the middle of June. I am really confused and anxious. I hope to make the right decision. Please, give your feedback about my pronounciation! Thanks for listening! See ya

Your first sentence is good, and nothing is wrong as far as I know, but would most likely be phrased more like this.

"I would say my weekend was good, I spent some time relaxing at home because I really needed to rest"

 

There is no rule for this but:

"making" is used with most emotions. Making me happy/sad/angry/mad/depressed/upset.

"getting" is used only with a few. Getting me depressed/upset/pissed off/

Hard decision [audio included]

Hi all, how are you doing?
I can say my weekend was good; I spent some time just chillin' at home because I was really needing to rest. However, it's not the reason why I wrote this it. One thing in particular is making getting me mad (<em>do you mean "mad" as in "angry"? or "mad" as in "crazy."? If crazy, then say: One thing in particular is making me crazy</em>). I have to decide if I will take the TOEFL exam next month or at in the end of the year. Actually I don't feel I'm prepared for it, but a good score on TOEFL is a requirement in order to participate in this program (<em>what program?</em>). According to the schedule, they (<em>who is they?</em>)  will open new enrollments in the middle of June. I am really confused and anxious. I hope to make the right decision.

Please, give me your feedback about my pronounciation!
Thanks for listening! See ya

 

I listened to your recording - your pronunciation, though there are some small errors, is quite good. Note that the word "confused" has 2 syllables and not 3. Don't add a 3rd syllable with the -ed.
