Write your report.
----------------------------------------------
Just finished my three-week study and work programme in England and I have to say that it was very stimulating and particularly complicated! Not only I had to study English in the morning, which is itself an agonizing challenge, but in the afternoons I had to work for a local company called “InfoTech”, near my dorm.
The programme included studying English in the morning and then having some spare time for any activity or hobby you had in mind, such as listening to music or going for a stroll with your colleagues. After lunch I had to take a ten minutes taxi ride that would lead me to the company where I was working for and I could not return back home until I finished my working hours. My tasks at “InfoTech” were ridiculously hard: I had to code a program that would help the company with some business analytics, but I had never coded in my life since that moment! Consequently, me and my workmates did a terrible job and ended up staying in a corner watching programmers do their cryptic job.
Obviously the most tedious part of the programme was the actual work to do, but we could not offer more than that. Even English was more entertaining because you could study with your mates, while the job was on another level of difficulty! The only change I would make for this programme is having less tedious work to do: it was very stressful at the end of the day!
JI just finished my three-week study and work programme in England, and I have to say that it was very stimulating and particularlyquite complicated!
Only adding the "I" to be more formal.
Not only did I hadve to study English in the morning, which is (in) itself an agonizing challenge, but in the afternoons I had to work for a local company called “InfoTech”, near my dorm.
After lunch I had to take a ten minutes taxi ride that would lead me to the company where I was working for, and I could not return back home until I finished my working hours.
My tasks at “InfoTech” were ridiculously hard: I had to code a program that would help the company with some business analytics, but I had never (even) coded in my life since that moment!
"Since that moment" is unnecessary. I would cut it for brevity.
Consequently, me and my workmates and I did a terrible job and ended up staying in a corner watching programmers do their cryptic job.
Obviously the most tedious part of the programme was the actual work to do, but we could not offer (any) more than that.

Great job!

Formal written English should always have a pronoun with the first verb of each sentence and every time the subject changes.

Periods of time or distance (minutes, days, kilometers, etc.) are not plural in this when being used as an adjective
For example:
a 10 minute jog, I jogged for 10 minutes
a 500 meter building, the building was 500 meters tall

"Working for" is usually followed by the kind of business or organization where the person is employed.
Example:
Right now, my friend is working for a private university.
My neighbor works for a big tech company.

Good job on your writing! It's always frustrating when you have to do work without being trained, but on the other hand, hopefully you were really able to improve your English!
