Day 28
A week passed before I wrote again. I'v been busy redecorating my house, and it's been quite exhausting.
The weather here is getting worse. It's been cloudy and cold every day, and the wind has been really strong.
The forecast says there will be a snowstorm in a couple of days, so we're doing our best to finish everything before that.
Did I use the present perfect tense correctly? I don't know why, but it felt clunky to me.
A week passed before I wrote again.
This sentence is correct grammatically, but I'm not sure it means what you wanted to say.
If you wanted to say that you have not written here on LangCorrect for a week, then you could say:
A week has passed since the last time I wrote here.
It has been a week since I wrote here.
The last time I wrote here was a week ago.
I haven't written here for a week.
I've been busy redecorating my house, and it's been quite exhausting.
The forecast says there will be a snowstorm in a couple of days, so we're doing our best to finish everything before that.
"That" in this sentence refers to the snowstorm itself.
If you changed that to "then" in this sentence, it would refer to the time when the snowstorm is expected.
Both are good.

I think it's cool to learn about what is going on with the weather in China and Japan right now by reading posts on this site.

Fixed a typo.
The forecast says there will be a snowstorm in a couple of days, so we're doing our best to finish everything before thaten.
"before then" is the choice when referring to time.

The use of the present tense looks good. Corrections are mostly about small grammar and phrasing adjustments. Good job, keep writing!
