Do you work or are you a student?
Candidato
I'm currently a student, I finished high school a couple weeks ago and right now I'm going to college to study psychiatry.

Where do you study?
Candidato
I usually like studying in my room because I feel it, the ambience is relaxing and comfortable for me. But sometimes for change I study with a friend, maybe in a coffee shop.
Examinador
Is it a good place to study?
Candidato
Yes, I believe it's a great place to study because there's no distraction and I can focus on what I'm currently studying.
Examinador
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
Candidato
I really like where I study, but I think maybe for a change they can change the chairs to make it more comfortable for the student to to learn. And I think maybe we can put background music like a piano playing or a guitar playing or something like that to make the place more cozy.
Examinador
What are your future study plans?
Candidato
I finished high school recently and now I'm planning to go study maybe psychiatry or psychology. I haven't decided yet, but I really enjoy reading about the human body and I really like helping people to understand their feelings, so I think I'm going to study one of those two.

× I'm currently a student, I finished high school a couple weeks ago and right now I'm going to college to study psychiatry.
✓ I'm currently a student. I finished high school a couple of weeks ago and right now I'm going to college to study psychiatry.
The original sentence is a run-on sentence combining two independent clauses with a comma. It should be separated into two sentences or connected properly. Also, 'a couple weeks ago' should be 'a couple of weeks ago' to be grammatically correct.
× I usually like studying in my room because I feel it, the ambience is relaxing and comfortable for me.
✓ I usually like studying in my room because I feel the ambience is relaxing and comfortable for me.
The phrase 'I feel it' is unnecessary and incorrect here. The correct expression is 'I feel the ambience is relaxing and comfortable for me.' The preposition 'in' is correctly used with 'my room.'
× Yes, I believe it's a great place to study because there's no distraction and I can focus on what I'm currently studying.
✓ Yes, I believe it's a great place to study because there are no distractions and I can focus on what I'm currently studying.
The word 'distraction' should be plural 'distractions' because it refers to multiple possible distractions. Also, 'there's' (there is) should be 'there are' to agree with the plural noun.
× I really like where I study, but I think maybe for a change they can change the chairs to make it more comfortable for the student to to learn.
✓ I really like where I study, but I think maybe for a change they can change the chairs to make it more comfortable for students to learn.
The pronoun 'the student' is incorrect here because it refers to a singular student, but the context implies students in general. It should be plural 'students.' Also, the repeated word 'to' is a typo and should be removed.
× And I think maybe we can put background music like a piano playing or a guitar playing or something like that to make the place more cozy.
✓ And I think maybe we can play background music like piano or guitar to make the place cozier.
The phrase 'put background music like a piano playing or a guitar playing' is awkward. The correct expression is 'play background music like piano or guitar.' Also, 'more cozy' should be 'cozier' as the comparative form of 'cozy.'
× I finished high school recently and now I'm planning to go study maybe psychiatry or psychology.
✓ I finished high school recently and now I'm planning to study maybe psychiatry or psychology.
The phrase 'go study' is informal and awkward here. The correct form is 'planning to study.'
× I really enjoy reading about the human body and I really like helping people to understand their feelings, so I think I'm going to study one of those two.
✓ I really enjoy reading about the human body and I really like helping people understand their feelings, so I think I'm going to study one of those two.
The preposition 'to' before 'understand' is unnecessary. The verb 'help' is followed directly by the base form of the verb without 'to.'
