@Loh Jane,

In the first sentence, you should omit the word "a."

In the second sentence, substitute "work" for "exertion. "

In the third sentence, "saving" should be made plural. Also, substitute "educational" for "education."

Hi all,
can I say that I make an exertion or effort to improve my programming skill?

@Loh Jane,

Yes, but exertion is usually used to describe physical efforts, so you would be best advised to use "make an effort."
