Staying in the UK
I've been planning to study in the UK a master degree since two years ago. Actually, I've been preparing for a scholarship application since then. I'm still studying English, I'm trying to improve my writing and speaking, which in my opinion are the most difficult ones.
Currently, I'm staying in the UK with a colleague from work. It was quite interesting coming and listening to the different accents. Sometimes I understand people while they are talking, but sometines it's all a challenge to pick what are they trying to say. I like to speak though, people are friendly and willing to help my speaking.
I'll have to work on the scholarship application while staying here, which means I'll have to speak, listen to, write and read more in English if I want to get a place at any university here.
I feel a bit nervous about it, but optimistic at the same time. I want to speak as much as possible. The more I learn, the more prepared I'll be, I think.
I would appreciate any correction. Thanks in advance.

Pretty good, you need to look up how to use "since" correctly in a structure this might help https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/linking-words-and-expressions/since but also look at youtube. Don't worry as a Brit I can find accents difficult as well.
