The garden
In the morning I made some work in the garden, then I spent a rest for about an hour before
going out to have some shopping in town. It was my sister’s birthday and I wanted to do a special
eff ort to cook a nice meal for her. I gave a look at a new Thai cookery book in the bookshop and
decided to buy it. It has some totally easy recipes and I managed to do a good impression with
my very first Thai meal. I think my sister utterly enjoyed her birthday.

In the sentence with "do a good impression", if you use "do a good impression" it implies that you did a good impression of the Thai recipe that you cooked, if you use "make a good impression" it implies that you made a good impression on the people who ate your food, in a general sense.

To say you "made some work" would mean that you caused work to be necessary, I think you want "did some work".
You spend time in order to rest so I re-ordered the middle to fit.
To "have shopping" usually means either that you have to go shopping, or that you have items you bought while shopping. I think you want "do some shopping" here.

There are cases where you can use "gave a look" but for looking at something before buying it, people would normally saw "took a look".

Utterly isn't wrong from a meaning or grammar perspective, it's just not a word people use in this context - thoroughly is more natural.

Good job! It might be worth looking at some examples of how "make" and "do" are used as you mixed them up a few times.
