JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON September 19th I would like someone to correct my diary (or to tell me the natural way of saying some things below. But I would be happy even if you JUST CORRECT my entry). Here, I might write in spoken English, possibly, because I want to improve not just my writing skills, but also the skill of spoken English. Could do that for me, please? JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON September 19th Today, I got the promotion examination of my office finally. It was actually said to be difficult big-time for us, but I felt that fact was wrong.Because, you might come to mind what I will say already, I thought that I passed it easily. That's right, I had prepared well for that examination, say, I was studying on knowledge on my job and I learned about that examination from my boss. But having sad that, and even taking into consideration, that was really easy. Generally, the promotion examination like this I got today is supposed to be difficult to answer the question, you know the result could be related with my job's future right? I doubt my company let us pass the examination easily intentionally. Oh yeah, anyway, today was the day. I can't be waited for the day after this. I can be into my favorite video game, Super Smash Bro. for Switch without concerning about that exam. Yes of course I would do study English, needless to say.

JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON September 19th

I would like someone to correct my diary (or to tell me the natural way of saying some things below. But I would be happy even if you JUST CORRECT my entry). Here, I might write in spoken English, possibly, because I want to improve not just my writing skills, but also the skill of spoken English. Could someone do that for me, please?

JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON September 19th

Today, I got the promotion examination of my office finally. I finally got the promotion examination from my office *.(1) It was actually said to be big-time difficult big-time for us, but I felt that fact was wrong.*(2) Because, you might come to mind what I will say already, You might already know what I am going to say, but I thought that I passed would pass it easily.*(3)That's right, I had prepared well for that examination. say, I was studying on knowledge on my job on the job/while on the job and I learned about that examination from my boss. But Having said that,*(4) and even taking into consideration, all things considered, that was really easy. Generally, the a promotion examination like this I got one today is supposed to be difficult to as it answer poses the question: You know the result could be related with my job's future right?*(5) I doubt my company let us pass the examination easily intentionally on purpose.(6) Oh yeah, anyway, today was the day. I can't be waited wait for the day after this. I can be get into my favorite video game, Super Smash Bro. for Switch without concerning worrying about that exam. *(7) Yes of course I would do study English, needless to say. *******

Notes:
(1): This [corrected] sentence is grammatically correct but does not sound native. For informal writing (like a diary or journal) "exam" would be used. Once you complete the exam, you can say you "took" it.
So a native sounding sentence is more like this:
I finally took the promotion exam from my office.
Or like this:
I finally took my office's promotion exam.

(2) "You might already know what I am going to say" could be changed to "it might be obvious, but.."

(3)" ...I thought I had passed it easily." is also correct.

(4) A more native looking sentence would look like:
"That being said, all things considered, that was really easy."

(5) The easiest way to explain this, is to say that an examination is not an animated object, so it cannot ask or answer (these verbs refer to speech). It can present something, or pose (show/situate) something. To "pose the question" is a common phrase that you can use when talking about something that makes someone (who IS alive) ask a question.
In this case, your exam (not alive) posed a question for you. You are asking yourself, "You know the result of this could be related to my job's future, right?" The exam itself isn't asking you. The question is just positioned there (or, posed) because of the exam. I hope this makes sense. If you have questions about it, just message me :)
(6) Both "intentionally" and "on purpose" mean the same thing, and both are correct. It is just my opinion that "on purpose" sounds better-- try them both out loud or maybe you just like one better.
(7) You can also say "worrying over," but again, either will work.


Good job!

JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON September 19th(writing about passing the exam) Today, I finally took the promotion examination from my office. It was actually said to be big-time difficult for us, but I felt that fact was wrong. You might be obvious, but I thought that I had passed it easily. That's right, I had prepared well for that examination. I was studying on the job and I learned about that examination from my boss. That being said, all things considered, that was really easy. Generally, a promotion eamination like this one today is supposed to be difficult as it poses the question: You know the result could be related with my job's future right? I doubt my company let us pass the examination easily on purpose. Oh yeah, anyway, today was the day. I can't wait for the day after this. I can get into my favorite video game, Super Smash Bro. for Switch without worrying over that exam. Yes, of course I would study English, needless to say.
