× I'm currently a junior high school student, which means I only have one year left before start university.
✓ I'm currently a junior high school student, which means I only have one year left before starting university.
The verb 'start' should be in the gerund form 'starting' after the preposition 'before' to indicate the action that will happen in the future. Using the base form 'start' is incorrect here.
× Recently I'm putting a lot of efforts into my assignments and in the following months I will decide to choose my major.
✓ Recently I'm putting a lot of effort into my assignments and in the following months I will decide on my major.
The phrase 'a lot of efforts' is incorrect; 'effort' is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralised here. Also, the verb 'decide' is usually followed by the preposition 'on' when referring to making a choice, so 'decide to choose' is redundant and incorrect.
× I'm currently a full time student so I just want to spend most of my time on studying and acquiring knowledge.
✓ I'm currently a full-time student so I just want to spend most of my time studying and acquiring knowledge.
The phrase 'spend time on studying' is less natural; after 'spend time', the verb should be in the gerund form without 'on'. Also, 'full time' should be hyphenated as 'full-time' when used as an adjective.
× Also the adequate digital tools for me to research.
✓ Also, there are adequate digital tools for me to research.
The original sentence is a fragment lacking a verb. Adding 'there are' completes the sentence. Also, a comma after 'Also' improves clarity.
