Original sentence
Yesterday I won the prize which is Duolingo diamond tournament. So I got the special status badge.
I am excited to it and get calmed because I was always checking the app for a week. I was tired of doing it.
Now I am free from the pressure.
Corrections and Explanations
1.“the prize which is Duolingo diamond tournament” → “the prize in the Duolingo Diamond Tournament”
“which is” sounds unnatural here. We usually say we won a prize in a tournament.
2.“got the special status badge” → “received a special status badge”
“received” sounds slightly more formal and natural than “got” in this context.
3.“I am excited to it” → “I’m excited about it”
We say “excited about” something, not “to”.
4.“get calmed” → “feel relieved”
“get calmed” is unnatural. In English, we normally say “feel relieved” when talking about feeling better after stress.
5.“I was always checking the app for a week” → “I had been checking the app constantly for a week”
Past perfect (“had been checking”) is better because the action continued over time before now.
“Always checking” could work but “constantly” sounds more natural and strong in this case.
6.“I was tired of doing it” → “I was getting tired of it”
“Was getting tired” matches better because you became tired over the period, not instantly.
7.Added commas after “Yesterday” and “Now”
In British English (and generally in formal writing), we often add commas after time markers at the beginning of a sentence.
