Starting to study for TOEFEL Hi there! Today is the first day of an intense period of study for me. Due to I am getting graduated next December and I want to apply for a post graduation scholarship in a foreign country, a couple days ago I've decided to register for the TOEFEL test. Due to it be known as a hard test, I got a blank calendar and I put it on my room wall. On it, there's a mixed studying schedule like writing a notebook on Italki each three days, listening English podcasts while driving to work, conversation meeting every Saturday, practicing listening on Lyrics training plus taking TOEFEL questions to practice among others. Well, looks like you all are going to have a lot of work to correct my texts here lol. Thanks in advance! See you soon! PS. Any tip is very very welcome!

Hello!

Some of the mistakes are due to grammar, but my corrections are aiming to make your paragraph sound more natural. Your text above has red text to show where the construction of the sentence can improve. Here are my corrections below, some of your ideas I'm not sure about, so it may not be exactly what you wanted to say:

Hi there! Today is the first day of an intense period of study for me. Since I'm graduating next December, I want to apply for a post-graduation scholarship in a foreign country. A couple days ago, I decided to register for the TOEFEL test. It's known as a hard test, so I got a blank calendar and I put it on my bedroom wall to plan my study time. On it, there's a mixed studying schedule including writing a notebook on Italki every three days, listening to English podcasts while driving to work, having a conversation in English every Saturday, practicing listening to lyrics, plus practicing TOEFEL questions with others.

I hope this helps! If I interpreted what you were writing incorrectly, the let me know. I'll try to write something closer to what you meant. ^.^
