Setting A Goal
These days I feel like I am pretty lost since I don't have a specific goal my life. In fact, I do have a goal which is a long term goal. I am going to study in Germany from this September and wanting to carry on my studies there as well afterwards. I had been working on really hard to get the opportunity. But the thing is once I got it, I kind of don't know what to do next.
I just started to learn German and it isn't easy at all for sure. It is very challenging and giving me some sort of pressure.
In addition, this is a silly reason, but as the weather is changing here in Korea my body seems confused and tired. I sneeze quite often and not feeling very well
In conclusion, I am kind of feeling down! What should I do?

Pretty good writing HyunWook, it's rather fluent. Some small points:
1) The difference between actually and in fact. How should I explain it... I would use in fact, when you are about to say something that agrees with the previous statement. For example: I like to eat apples. In fact, I eat five a day. or I don't agree with what you're saying. In fact, I find it quite offensive.
On the other hand, actually can be used to contradict your previous statement, particularly during speech. For example: I'm not hungry. [pause]. Actually, maybe I'll have something to eat. Or, I don't see him. [pause]. Actually, I think that's him over there!
2) If you're unsure, you should probably use a subject rather than omit it.
3) In English we don't say: this is giving me a sort of pressure. Instead, we can say: it's stressing me or I feel stressed by it. I feel really stressed out means it's giving you a big headache.
4) In English we use 'don't' to negate many statements. I don't know why (there you go...I just did it). For example: I see him. I don't see him. I ate the apple. I didn't eat the apple. I play hockey on Wednesday. I don't play hockey on Wednesday. An example where we don't use don't is the present/past continuous. Eg. I am eating. I'm not eating. I was going to the cinema. I wasn't going to the cinema.
Hope that helps.
