Today was a very exhausting day because I had two tests back-to-back. One of them was a Korean test, and although I studied very hard for it, things didn’t go the way I expected. When I first looked at the test paper filled with Korean sentences, my mind suddenly went completely blank. I tried to remember the grammar and vocabulary I had reviewed, but the stress made it difficult to think clearly, and I couldn’t answer all the questions. It was really frustrating, and I felt disappointed in myself because I wanted to show the results of my effort. Still, I know that language learning is a long process, and experiencing these moments is part of getting better.
Tomorrow, I have an important presentation at university. Last week, my presentation went a little too long, so I want to reflect on that and make sure I improve this time. Tonight, I’m planning to review my slides, organize my main points more clearly, and practice speaking so that I can keep the presentation within the time limit. I want to explain my research and the issues I discovered in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. I also hope that I can speak with more confidence and stay calm. Although today was difficult, I want to use this experience as motivation to do my best tomorrow and give effective presentation!!

Great writing! You're absolutely right that learning a language is a long process. How you do on one test does not necessarily represent how fluent you are. You can always try again. Happy holidays!
