I should not give up
Today I was not feeling energetic. I don't know why that was, but I lay on my bed in the afternoon for two hours without the will to move. I just tried to practise riding a bicycle, and I got so exhausted doing it! Also, I made food for myself but I forgot to buy some seasoning. You can imagine how terrible it tasted. Reluctantly, I ate it all. What an awful day!However, I just received an e-mail from my professor. Unexpectedly, he praised me for my studies. I was very happy about that.
Although I have so many troubles and failures in my life, I should be confident about myself. Because it is my first time living abroad, I need to learn a lot of new things. It is common to fail and I should not give up.
I shall also praise you and say WELL DONE! You have made very few mistakes!
I award you 9.9 out of 10!
Note: whether it is correct to write "practise" or "practice" as a verb may depend upon what variety of English you are studying. In British English, "practise" is the verb, and "practice" is the noun. (They are pronounced exactly the same. The only difference is the spelling). I have corrected you on it because I am British.
However, there are often differences in spelling for American English versus British English. I think that in American English, it may perhaps be correct to use the word "practice" as a verb -- but I am not entirely sure, as I am British, not American.
Example sentence in British English showing the difference:
"I need to practise the violin, so I am going to go to the orchestra practice."
