If anyone is willing to point out/correct any mistakes in this short text, I would be
very appreciative! Thanks!
En Català
Jo escric una composició curta avui. Visc a Canadà. Sóc un estudiant universitari de
química i espanyol. Parlo l’anglès i el francès. Puc parlar un mica d’italià, espanyol
i llatina perquè les estudio. Visitaré catalunya aquest estiu. Seré una bona
oportunitat per mi a exercir el català i l’espanyol. Visitaré a Barcelona, el sud de
França, l’Andorra i a València. Llogaré un cotxe per visitar aquests llocs. Passaré
també algun temps a Islàndia. Jo no parlo islandès, la crec que és una llengua difícil
però interessant.

There are probably more, but here are a few I spotted at first glance: Spanish is usually referred to as castellà, not
espanyol; Sé (instead of puc) parlar una mica...; llatí; Andorra (without article); per a.

In addition to what the previous poster wrote:
perquè els estudio
Serà una bona oportunitat...
visitaré a Barcelona/ a Valencia--you don't need the "a"
la crec que és una llengua...--you don't need the "la"
Please note though that I'm not a native! Good luck with your studies!

In addition to what others said: Just to make it sound more natural, I wouldn't use the
personal pronouns (e.g. just "escric" and not "jo escric").
There is no accent on Canada, and you don't need the definite article with the language
(It can just be "Parlo anglès i francès.".
Sé parlar una mica d'italià, espanyol, i de llatí (as opposed de llatina) perquè els
estudio.
Passaré també una estona a Islàndia.
