My examinations

After a long break I decided to keep writing here, because it's really important for me to practice my language skills, because next year in the institute will be one of the hardest.  (You can break this long sentence into two:  "...my language skills.  Next year in the institute...")
I'll write in English and sometimes in German.  (Perfect!)
So I'm studying at the faculty of foreign languages. (Do you mean "I'm studying with a major in foreign languages"?)

This July I finished my 2nd year of study. (I'd use the past tense here.)

I had 3 examinations: Speech in English, Speech in German and Phonetics in German. (Perfect!)

The examination in speech in both languages consisted of the listening to a short text and reading a story. (Note "to listen to".)

The students had to retell both texts, express their opinion about a problem raised in a text, and connect this problem with one of the topics we've practiced this semester: sport or travelling.  (You can also say "paraphrase both texts".  "Their" relates back to "the students".  Use "a problem" with the indefinite article:  any problem.  You can also say "sports".)

I wasn't really successful in English, because I couldn't connect the texts with topics; I didn't see any connection between them :) (Or "I couldn't relate the topics to the texts".  Note the semi-colon after "topics" because you must divide the two sentences with a semi-colon or a period.)

Maybe it was my fault and I just should learn thinking more globally :) (Great!  Use the adverb "globally", modifying "to think".)

But still I had a 4 in English; it's a good mark in my country. (Note the semi-colon.  You can also say "a good score", at least in the US.)

And in German I got a 5; it's very good.

The phonetics in German were easy for me.  (Or "the phonetics exam was easy for/to me.")

Although I can't say that I speak very well in German, and the German pronounciation is hard, but this time, fortune was on my side.  (In this case, "pronunciation" is uncountable.  When you use an uncountable noun in a general sense, leave out the definite article.  Otherwise, use "the".  Example: "Pronunciation is one of the toughest skills for new learners of Mandarin." (not "the pronunciation - general sense)  "The pronunciation he tries to use in that speech is very strange." (specific pronunciation)

The task was to recite tell one of the 8 poems, to describe tell the theory about peculiarities of German phonetics and to read a text aloud a text. So I managed everything and got a 5 too :) (Very well done!  With poetry, it's common to use the verb "to recite".)
As I have already said, this year will be hard enough, so it won't be so easy to get good marks, and I hope I'll get acquainted with lots of people here who will help me to check my essay (we are constantly writing them), who'll teach me how to say something better or what sounds more colloquial. I'm grateful for every correction :)  (Wow!  Great!  You may want to break up that long and well-written sentence, after "good marks".)
By the way, if you have questions connected with the Russian language I'll willingly help you :)

Very, very well-written!
