English Sprint Day 4

I skipped studying yesterday because I was sick. However, feeling much better today, I made up my mind to open the book again.
I wanted to study in a cafe, but since today was Boxing Day, most of the places were closed or open later. So, my only option was to study at home.
As the same as yesterday, I started my day by cleaning my home and sat at my desk to open the Grammar book. I played the Pomodoro method video from YouTube and read sentences loudly. Even though my cat and husband kept interrupting me, I made it to Unit 99!
This book is composed of 113 units, so there are 14 more units left. I will finish the remaining units and take quizzes in this book to check my understanding.

English Sprint Day 4

I skipped studying yesterday because I was sick.

However, feeling much better today, I made up my mind to open the book again.

I wanted to study in a cafe, but since today was Boxing Day, most of the places were closed or opened later.

Minor point that I'm not sure matters, but I feel like this is slightly more natural to my ears.

So, my only option was to study at home.

AsJust the same as yesterday, I started my day by cleaning my home and then sat at my desk to open the Ggrammar book.

Adding "then" gives a stronger sense of a timeline of events.
"grammar" does not seem like a proper noun in this case, so doesn't need capitalising.

I played the Pomodoro method video from YouTube and read sentences loudly.

If there is one specific "Pomodoro method video" that you have already discussed or expect your audience to already be familiar with then referring to it with the definite article "the" is correct. But if the audience would not be able to tell which video you mean (ie: there's multiple and it's unclear to which you refer to) then "a" would be more appropriate.

Even though my cat and husband kept interrupting me, I made it to Unit 99!

This book is composed of 113 units, so there are only 14 more units left.

Minor suggestion to emphasise how you feel that it is only a few units left.

I will finish the remaining units and take the quizzes in this book to check my understanding.

This is a case where the definite article makes sense, since this could only refer to one thing.

Feedback

Good job, you write at a high level and your meaning was always clear. It looks like that grammar study is paying off.

Thank you very much! Honestly, I learn way more from this website than I do by myself 😆
