Gap Year
Hello, everyone! I'm a new member, so this is the first time I am writing an entry here. Honestly, I've been learning English for a long time, but my English is still bad. Today, I decided to focus on learning languages -- and English in particular -- to prepare for a long trip after graduating. That's why I wanted to write some entries and hope you can correct them for me.
I'm a senior now. It means I'm going to finish my university studies in university next year. I want to spend about a year to traveling and discovering countries before finding* a job. If I remember right correctly**, people call it a gap year. My major is auditing {do you mean "accounting"?}, and it's quite boring. I have to work with calculations and numbers and also be sedentary. Although my mother doesn't want me to spend a year for on useless things, it won't be wasted. She thinks it cannot will not {or "won't"} bring any benefits, but I am sure that I'll gain a lot of experiences.
In addition to improving English, I've started been*** learning French and Korean for a month. When you learn a language, you don't only learn how to speak or write it, you also do learn about (the) culture (associated with it). It makes me realize learning a new language is so interesting and brings me joys.
Thanks for reading !
*You have the appropriate tense here by using "finding", just make sure to be consistent with the other verbs.
**It's idiomatic to say "If I remember correctly"
***"Start" is an instantaneous thing, so you cannot do it for a period of time. So it's either: "I started learning French and Korean last month" or "I have been learning French and Korean for a month."
