Study Plan

I will focus on English studies for the next two weeks. I will start it tomorrow morning, so I planned my study schedule this evening.
One of my problems with English is grammar. I learned English through conversation, so I am not good at English grammar and speak broken English in conversation. I can't write well in English without Grammarly and a translator. Of course, I am writing my journal here myself, but I still get helped by Grammaly tool.
So, I found this book on my shelf: Grammar in Use Basic!
I will read this book next two weeks. I am not going to answer the quizzes. If I did, I probably would try to answer perfectly every time, would be stressed, and I would eventually lose my interest in the book. Also, I only have ten days, which is not enough to finish the book.
Only three hours per day, in the morning, reading the book as much as possible and finish entire book to read. It is my only goal.
I will write my study journey here. I hope this moment will be the firm foundation of my English for the future.

So, I'm going to tell you what I would do instead of reading the grammar book from cover to cover. If each chapter has a quiz, then I would choose a chapter with a topic I think I need to work on and take the quiz. If my score was 70% or higher, I would skip that chapter. If it was lower, I would read the chapter. This way, I would spend more time on the topics I need to work on. Based on your writing, I disagree with your statement that you are not good at English grammar. There are a lot of grammar rules that you know, understand, and apply; and using the word "broken" to describe your English is so harsh and negative. I encourage you to give yourself credit for what you have learned and already know... and don't forget you want to draw during these days as well.

Hey Liag, I don't know how to say what I am feeling. You are very kind to me, and I really appreciate your kindness. I probably used too intense words, like "Broken", to show what I need to study.
I feel that my English is somewhat like a patchwork blanket, but not made perfectly. I can sleep with the blanket, but it is ugly and has many holes. Some holes are small, and some are big. I need to sew the holes and make this blanket work perfectly. After that, I will make it beautiful. I think this study is to find my blanket holes and sew them. I agree with what you said. But it's a spoiler, I already read 20% of the book today! I will probably finish this book by this Thursday or Friday. When I finish it, I will definitely use the method that you suggested.
Also, I drew a doodle yesterday! It made me feel refreshed! I am so sorry I can't show it to you.. :(

The patchwork blanket is a really nice comparison, and you develop it with memorable details! I am sure your capacity for serious study sessions is far greater than mine. Carry on!

Study Plan

I will focus on English studiesstudying English for the next two weeks.

Using “studying English” is more natural after the phrase “focus on.” While “English studies” is grammatically correct, it sounds formal and less common. English usually prefers a gerund (verb+ing) after “focus on,” which clearly shows the action you are concentrating on.

I will start it tomorrow morning, so I planned my study schedule this eveningonight.

The word “it” is unnecessary because “start” already refers to the planned activity. Using “tonight” instead of “this evening” is simpler and more natural in casual writing.

One of my problems with English is grammar.

I learned English mostly through conversation, so I am not very good at English grammar and often speak broken English in conversation.

Adding “mostly” clarifies that conversation was the primary way of learning. Repeating “in conversation” is unnecessary and can make the sentence sound awkward. Using “not very good” is more idiomatic than “not good.”

I can't write well in English without Grammarly andor a translator.

When presenting alternatives, “or” is more appropriate than “and.”

Of course, I am writing my journal here by myself, but I still get helped bysome help from the Grammarly tool.

The phrase “get helped by” is not natural; the correct expression is “get help from.” Adding “some” makes the sentence sound more natural and conversational.

So, I found this book on my shelf: Grammar in Use Basic!

Starting with “So” is unnecessary in this context. Beginning the sentence directly with the main clause makes it clearer.

I will read this book over the next two weeks.

“Over the next two weeks” is the correct and more natural expression for a time period.

I am not going to answerdo the quizzes.

“Do the quizzes” is more idiomatic than “answer the quizzes” because it conveys completing them as part of the study plan.

If I did, I would probably would try to answer perfectly every time,every question perfectly, which would be stressed, and I woul me out and eventually make me lose my interest in the book.

The original sentence is a fragment with multiple clauses. Combining the ideas into one sentence with “which would stress me out” makes it grammatically correct and smoother. Adding “every question” makes the meaning clearer and more precise.

Also, I only have ten days, which is not enough time to finish the book.

Adding the word “time” makes the sentence clearer and more natural. Without it, the sentence feels slightly incomplete.

Only three hours per day, in theI will study for three hours every morning, reading as much of the book as much as possible and finish entire book to readpossible, with the only goal of finishing it.

The original sentence is a fragment without a clear subject and main verb. Starting with “I will study” gives it structure. “Finish entire book to read” is not idiomatic; “finishing it” is simpler, grammatically correct, and more natural.

It is my only goal.

I will write about my study journey here.

I hope this momenttime will be the firmcome a solid foundation ofor my English forin the future.

“Moment” fits better as “time” in this context because it refers to a period of effort rather than a single instant. “For the future” is less idiomatic than “in the future,” which is the standard way to refer to long-term goals. Using “become a solid foundation” sounds more natural and fluent than “will be the firm foundation.”

Wow, what a great study plan! I love how organized and motivated you are. Reading a book like Grammar in Use Basic is such a smart strategy because it really helps you see grammar in context and improve your writing over time. I’m sure that if you stick with it, your English will get much stronger.
If you want, I can also explain some of the corrections and suggestions in Korean to make them easier to understand.
와, 계속 이렇게 열심히 하면 분명 실력 많이 늘 거야! 응원할게!

Ivy,
피드백 정리하면서 느낀 건데, Ivy 영어는 문법 자체에 큰 문제는 거의 없어요! 수정한 부분들도 내용이 틀렸다기보다는, 영어에서 더 자연스럽게 쓰이는 표현으로 다듬은 경우가 많았어요.

예를 들면, focus on 뒤에는 보통 명사보다는 **동명사(-ing)**를 쓰는 게 훨씬 매끄럽고, do the quizzes처럼 영어에는 특정 동사랑 자주 같이 쓰이는 표현들(콜로케이션)이 있어요. 이런 건 규칙처럼 외운다기보다는, 많이 접하다 보면 자연스럽게 익혀지는 부분인 것 같아요.

표현 중에 moment를 time으로 고친 부분도 있었는데, 영어에서 moment는 아주 짧은 순간을 의미하는 경우가 많아서, 공부하는 기간처럼 어느 정도의 시간을 말할 때는 time이 훨씬 자연스러워요. 또 for the future보다는 in the future가 더 관용적으로 쓰이는 표현이기도 하고요!

문장을 길게 쓰는 건 오히려 실력이 좋다는 증거라 전혀 나쁜 게 아니에요. 다만 영어에서는 같은 단어나 표현이 반복되면 조금 어색하게 느껴질 수 있어서, 그럴 때 한 번만 정리해 주면 글이 훨씬 세련되게 보여요. 전체적으로 Ivy가 하고 싶은 말은 이미 충분히 잘 전달되고 있었어요.

지금처럼 Grammarly를 쓰는 것도 정말 좋은 방법이에요! 다만 수정 제안이 나오면 그대로 받아들이기보다는, “아, 영어에서는 이런 상황에서 이렇게 말하는구나” 정도로 참고하면서 보면 더 도움이 될 것 같아요. 지금 세운 계획도 현실적이고 좋아서, 이 페이스대로만 가시면 표현이 점점 더 자연스러워질 거예요. 계속 응원할게요!

I will start it tomorrow morning, so I planned my study schedule this evening.

One of my problems with English is grammar.

I learned English through conversation, so I am not good at English grammar and speak broken English in conversation.

I can't write well in English without Grammarly and a translator.

Of course, I am writing my journal here myself, but I still get helped by Grammarly tool.

With names of services like "Grammarly", I'd usually just say the name like this.

So, I found this book on my shelf: Grammar in Use Basic!

I will read this book over the next two weeks.

In a sentence like this, I would probably put in "over the" or "for the". Same with actions in the past too, like in: "I've been reading an interesting book over the past few weeks."

Although, "over the" feels more like YOU are doing something over a period of time, whereas "for the" has more of a feeling like something is happening TO you, or unrelated to you. For example: "For the next few months, the weather will be hot." But the difference is minor.

I am not going to answer the quizzes.

If I did, I probably would try to answer perfectly every time, would beget stressed, and I would eventually lose my interest in the book.

Also, I only have ten days, which is not enough to finish the book.

Only three hours per day, in the morning, reading the book as much as possible [and finish entire book to read?].

Unfortunately, I don't quite understand what you mean by "and finish entire book to read".

It is my only goal.

I will write my study journey here.

I hope this moment will be thecome a firm foundation ofor my English forin the future.

Everything after "become" isn't strictly necessary, and is simply a more natural way you could say this.

Overall, well written! I wish you the best of luck with your studies!
