I am very sorry, Tim. I just saw your message because I was answering someone's call when your message came.
When your call came, I was on my way home, and I also forgot to turn on my phone camera.
This time, you tried introducing your home town in Chinese. You said your home town was in the countryside and was surrounded by fields.
You also introduced the town which was very near to you, and you said it was very shabby. I think this time, you spoke Chinese really well.
Because I didn't see your message in time, I was not well prepared for this call, and most of the time I was on my way during the call. That is why I feel very sorry.
Anyway, I am always happy to receive your calls.
I hope you stay happy and talk to you next time. Bye bye.

I just saw your message because I was answering someone's call when I got your message came.

can also say "when you texted me"

When your call camed, I was on my way home, and I also forgot to turn on my phone camera.

How is your ability to answer a call related to your camera being turned on? Were you planning on doing a video chat?

This time,When you tried introducing your home town in Chinese: You said your hometown is in the countryside, and is surrounded by fields.

How does this connect to your above sentences? Also, use "is" instead of "was". "Was" is used to reference how something used to be, if his hometown is no-longer classified as being in the countryside than in that case "was" would be the right word.

You said your home town was in the countryside and was surrounded by fields.

You also introduced me to theis town which was very nearclose to you, and you said it was very shabby.

I think this time, you spoke Chinese really well this time.

Because I didn't see your message in time, I was not well prepared for this call, and most of the time I was on my way during the call.

I don't quite understand what you mean by "and most of the time I was on my way during the call"

That is why I feel very sorry.

Can also say "that is why I am really sorry"

I hope you stay happy and talk to you next timesoon.

Feedback

You don't always have to add the word "also" when you already have the word "and", as those two are mostly interchangeable.

We do video calls on Skype regularly to practice our speaking. This time I forgot to turn on my phone camera because I missed his informing message and the call was unexpected.

Because I didn't see your message in time, I was not well prepared for this call, and most of the time I was on my way during the call.

For example, if we had a ten-minute voice call, we actually did it for eight or nine minutes while I was walking.

I see now. I should use is instead of was. Thank you very much.

You would write more like this to make it more natural "so most of the time I was walking during our call"
