I failed to enter my first choice of university. Although I prepared for the entrance exam very hard, it did not pay off. At that time, I almost always studied until one am. I think that might be ineffective for my brain due to my lack of sleep. If I secured at least seven hours of sleep while I studied for the entrance exam, I would be able to pass the exam.
I failed to enter my first choice of university. Although I prepared for the entrance exam very hard, it did not pay off. At that time, I almost always studied until 1 am. I think that might have negatively affected my brain due to my lack of sleep. If I had secured at least seven hours of sleep while I studied for the entrance exam, I would have been able to pass the exam.
I took the entrance exam again for my first-choice university but I failed. I had no choice but to select other university and I passed the exam of it. I was so disappointed and regretted that I wanted to commit suicide. However, I inspired myself by understanding my failure and I tried to expect my future. It might be better to say that the experience at that time is one of the milestones of my life.

3. Use this here for clarity.
4. Use this word to show cause and effect.
5. Use "another" since you're introducing a singular noun.
6. Use a comma to separate the independent clauses.
7. It's more natural to say "its (noun)" rather than "the (noun) of it". Use "entrance" for clarity.
8. This is the accurate adjective form of the word.
9. I think this is what you meant - to make peace with what happened.
I must express gratitude to my current situation. I am married, have two sons, and positively work on my assignment in my workplace. As for my hobby, doing Kendo, it is not going smoothly because I can't do kendo well recently. I probably hit a plateau and just need to keep practice without feeling disappointed. When I face some challenges, I should not be concerned about negative outcomes too much. I need to inspire myself by changing my mindset.

2. The word "recently" refers more to the past than the present and is generally used with the past tense or present perfect tense.
3. When we refer to a continuous action over time, the correct phrasing is "keep (verb)ing".
4. 5. Your phrasing is okay, but this is simpler and more natural.
I was forced to take days off because of mental illness about ten years ago. The primary cause of the illness was harassment by my former boss. Although his business coordination skill was superb, his actions taken to his subordinates were not always appropriate. For example, he repeatedly pointed out the reason why I did not come to the workplace to address my assignments on Saturday and Sunday when my workload was plied up. I should have stand such harsh moment but I could not. This resulted in my worst business evaluation from my company at that time.

2. If he discussed specific reasons, your phrasing is fine, but if he accused you for not working on weekends, this word is better.
3. Be careful with spelling.
4. This is a more meaningful word here. You're talking about the past, so say "should have (verb - past form)".
5. Use the plural form since you're referring to something that happened more than just once.
Yes, I spoke out his actions to the HR section. However, nothing was changed. The HR section said to me that the behavior of that boss was inappropriate but it was not exclusively his fault and I should also consider my ways of handling the assignments. In other words, the HR section did not regard the actions of that boss as harassment. Since then, I believe it is vital to protect me by myself if I face some predicaments about human relationship in the workplace.

2. You don't need "was" in this sentence.
3. Your word is fine, but try and avoid repetition.
4. It's common to simply refer to the department as "HR". This also helps you avoid repetition.
5. When we use "(verb) myself", the subject and object of the action are the same, so you don't need to use the deleted words.
6. Use the plural form since you're making a generalisation.
Well done! Enjoy your speaking lesson!

2. Though it's common to write "one" in words in most cases, we use numerals when we write about time.
3. You're considering a possibility about the past, so use the form "might have (verb-ed)". We use "ineffective" when we refer to methods for a final result, but we talk about effects of something on one's brain.
4. 5. This is the correct form when you're referring to an alternate action and its imagined result in the past.
