Like Monday Night, I was bitten various parts of my hands by a mosquito many times, so I was gotten up twice. Finally, I used a mosquito coil an hour ago. I don't like to use it because its smoke isn't good. The smoke seems bad for our health (I don't know the truth). The last an hour of my six hours sleep was difficult for me to sleep well and I feel a little sleepy right now.
Anyway, I have to leave home 45 minutes later because I'm going to move to my dormitory to wash my laundry, so I'm going to finish this entry as soon as possible. Last night, I posted the following.

That was my opinion concerning the theme oh the National Children's Day in Vanuatu (July 24th, next Tuesday).The theme is "Be Accountable, Take Action, Prevent Child Abuse." I've lived in Vanuatu for over a year and seen the children's situation. Therefore, I became to want to send my opinion to the Daily Post, the newspaper company in Vanuatu. There are over 800 words in this writing, but if you give me some advice to this poor entry by tonight, I'll be very happy.

The way it's worded, you either mean "This also happened on Monday night" or "Last Monday night" as in "a few days ago"

During the last an hour of my six hours of sleep, it was difficult for me to sleep well and I feel a little sleepy right now.

You only 'move to' somewhere when you're doing it for the first time, as in "moving to Japan"

Yes, the second verb must have "to."
Examples:
I want to run.
I like to eat.
I have to love
I think your English is fairly decent. Just keep practicing. You can add me if you want and I'll help you more often.
たべたくなる。I want to eat.
Last Monday night, I was bitten on various parts of my hands by a mosquito many times, so I was gotten up twice.
I think you mean the Monday night that just happened?
And you don't have to capitilize the "N," because there are many Monday nights.
Where were you bitten? "On," your hands. Prepositions like "on," "in" and "at," are very useful.
In English we almost always (if only) use the word, "gotten," if the word "have (or some form of have)," is in front it.
Here it would be better to say, "I got up twice."
The smoke seems bad for our health (I don't know if it is).
What you said is not wrong. You could say that in a conversation, but it's more common to say what I added.
I slept for six hours, but I couldn't sleep well during the last hour and I feel a little sleepy right now.
This seems a bit more natural and less wordy.
Therefore, I want to send my opinion to the Daily Post, the newspaper company in Vanuatu.
There are two options (I'm not sure exactly what you mean).
You can say, "I want to send my opinion," if you want to send it right now, in the present.
But, if you wanted to send it in the past, we say, "I wanted to send my opinion."

Usually "writing," is more general. For a specific piece of writing we either say, "piece," or "text."
