correction of the PC1 writing part

Studying English and studying Spanish, my second language, are different in a number of significant ways. Whereas I have been learning English for more than nine years, I have just started to learn the Spanish language. Not only have I been studying English for such a long period of time, I have also spent six months in an English-speaking country. In these six months I was confronted with the English language daily and was able to learn many new expressions and words. That is what puts me into even more pressure to be good at English class. As I attend the basic course in Spanish I do not have to cope with this pressure in my second language. In addition to the pressure I put myself into, the English teachers put some pressure on the students too. Students of the English language already have the basic knowledge of English and therefore teachers have high expectations. These are not the only differences for me between those two languages. The Spanish grammer for example is very different to the English grammer. The English grammer is easier as there are not so many articles for instance. I know I have to study hard for both of my languages in order to become an excellent translator and these differences just make it more interesting for me as well as more challenging.
