A New Challenge In the beginning of this year I made a decision that changed my life. I decided to quit my job, leave the city that I was living, and move to another country to have new experiences. First, I was in doubts about what I would like to do and where I would like to live. But, after a long conversation with one friend that, at the time was moving to London to study English, I decided do the same. I had been saving money for some years, and I realized that would be possible to live in London for 6 months studying only. So, 3 months after, I moved to London and I've been living here for 3 months. I'm so grateful about that, because I'm thinking about many things in my life, what a really want to do, etc. Next month I'm moving to the countryside to have a new experience in an organic farm. I'm excited, because everything will be new: friends, place, working! Let's wait and see what will happen!

A New Challenge

In At the beginning of this year I made a decision that changed my life. I decided to quit my job, leave the city that I was living in, and move to another country to have new experiences. First, I was in doubt s about what I would like to do and where I would like to live. But, after a long conversation with one a friend that, at the time was moving to London to study English, (so) I decided to do the same. I had been saving money for some years, and I realized that it would be possible to live in London for 6 six months, just studying only. So, 3 three months later after, I moved to London and I've been living here for 3 months. I'm so grateful for about that because I'm thinking about many things in my life; what a I really want to do, etc. Next month I'm moving to the countryside to have a new experience in an organic farm. I'm excited because everything will be new: friends, place (location), working! Let's wait and see what will happens! <em>(The present tense sounds more natural here)</em>

<em>Most of the corrections are quite minor. This is good English.</em>

<em>'At' is used for specific times and places. It is more specific than 'in'.</em>

<em>Numbers one to ten are usually written in full.</em>

<em>The expression is 'in doubt'. I had doubts or I was in doubt.</em>
