Spanish I will start to study Spanish diligently because I have a exam to write on June 11st for the university and I have to get a good mark. Spanish is not my favorite language. I don't like this language but it is probably because I don't work enough so I don't see improvement and I am discouraged. It explains everything. Now, I want to work hard to improve my Spanish to be able to catch up my German because it is much better than my Spanish level. I will probably book a couple of lessons to help to learn faster. I will have to learn at least one hour per day stick to this routine otherwise I will get a bad mark. I have an English exam on Friday but I believe that my English is good enough to succeed the exam. I have to reach an intermediate level. I think I don't have to worry about this exam

Spanish

I will start to study Spanish diligently because I have a exam to write (1) on June 11st (2) for the university and I have to get a good mark. Spanish is not my favorite (3) language. I don't like this language but it is probably because I don't work enough so I don't see an improvement and I (4) am discouraged. It (5) explains everything. Now, I want to work hard to improve my Spanish, to be able to catch up with my German because it is much better than my Spanish level. I will probably book a couple of lessons to help to me learn faster. I will have to learn for at least one hour per day and stick to this routine otherwise I will get a bad mark. I have an English exam on Friday but I believe that my English is good enough to succeed (6) the exam. I have to reach an intermediate level. I think I don't have to worry about this exam (7)

(1) "I have a written exam" sounds more natural than "I have an exam to write" or you could just say "I have an exam on..." 

(2) "June 11th" - 11th is short form for eleventh. "st" is used after 1 in all other cases as in, 1st (first), 31st (thirty-first), 91st (ninety-first). BUT, 111th (one hundred and eleventh).

(3) British English spelling alternative - favourite

(4) Unnecessary subject pronoun - "I" has already been used a lot in this sentence and it sounds better as "...so I don't see an improvement and am discouraged."

(5) "That explains everything." is more natural sounding than "It explains..."

(6) "pass" is the word needed instead of "succeed" when talking about an exam. "...good enough to pass the exam."

(7) " I don't think I have to worry about this exam." is a more natural word order

 

<em>Good luck with all your exams. You seem to be working really hard and I hope everything goes well for you.</em>
