Hello, I am Nick, a 37 years old Chinese guy try to write

Yesterday I posted my first practice writing on Reddit. When I logged on again in the afternoon, it made me surprise that i received some feedbacks not
only encourages but also patient corrections. Thank you all guys making me warm here. I replied all the comments under my post and corrected my post in a right way to save for record.
Today my topic is English Learning. I have learned English for more than 20 years from I was a middle school student, but actually my English is not well with the time pass. There were many reasons I thought, no English speaking environment in China, no time to reading more English books, no money to join some English courses etc. it seems that I always wasted of my time to think why but no change for me without any action.
Ironically, English is become more and more important in my career development. English working files and presentations are both i need to prepare with accurate English wording and grammar to fulfill. My boss usually showed me the pressure to pick it up as multinational company requirement. Am I too old to learn? I usually wonder how to improve my English with qualitative changes.
Some paragraphs told me that practice was very important for language learning. Today I woke up early and read a book call “New Concept English” which is famous in China and spoke loudly in my balcony. Luckily it is warm in my city for getting up as it is located in south of my country.
Thanks for reading my day 2 post. Have a good day!

Corrections

Hello, I am Nick, a 37 -years -old Chinese guy trying to write

Remember, -year-old would be one word, and trying is the "current" (continuous) form.

Yesterday I posted my first writing practice writing on Reddit.

When I logged on again in the afternoon, it made me surprised me that iI received some feedbacks, that not only encouragesd me but also gave patient corrections.

"It surprised me that", as "made me surprised that" does not fit the context. Feedback is usually used in the singular, and they "encouraged" you (past), not "encourages". Same for "gave". I know that must have been confusing as Chinese has no tenses :(.

Thank yous all you guys makfor warmly welcoming me warm here.

"Making me warm" does not really carry the same meaning as "wamly welcoming me", so I corrected according to what I thought was right. :)

I replied to all the comments underon my post and corrected my post in a right way to save for the record.

"in a right way" is already expressed, and saying it twice in the same sentence is not really how anybody says it.

Today my topic is Eenglish Learning-learning / learning english.

No capitals in the middle of the sentence.

I have learned English for more than 20 years from when I was a middle school student, but actually my English is not well with the time passhas worsened with the passing of time.

Firstly, most people now use learnt, now learned (but it's fine), and secondly, "is not well" is not really that.. ~meaningful~ in this context. To worsen would be the best verb in this context.

There were many reasons I thought, of: no English speaking environment in China, no time tofor reading more English books, no money to join some English courses, etc.

You thought *of* the reasons, no? :)

iIt seemsed that I always wasted of my time to think why but no change for me wiof why, without changing myself throutgh any action.

I'm sorry, but that sentence was quite... botched... (not good). "It *seemed*" (past), "think" takes the "of', "waste" does not. Reflexive form, "myself". Also, I took the "without", used it at the start, and used something else later, but you could do something else. :)

Ironically, English ihas become more and more important in my career development.

I need to prepare both English working files and presentations are both i need to prepare with accurate English wording and grammar to fulfill.

The word order at the start was a little wrong. English has subject first, followed by verbs, followed by objects, which you did the opposite of. :(

My boss usually showedgave me the pressure to pick it up as multinational company requirement.

"To give pressure", not "to show pressure".

Am I too old to learn it?

"To learn" is transitive, meaning, it always takes an object. (And, no, in my opinion, it's never too late! :) )

Today I woke up early and read a book called “New Concept English” which is famous in China and spoke loudly in my balcony.

"spoke loudly", you spoke, or the book spoke? ;) I know it's clear from context, but it would look nicer with "I spoke".

Luckily it is warm in my city for gettingwhen I get up, as it is located in the south of my country.

Thanks for reading my dDay 2 post.

Feedback

Overall, you have a few tense and sentence structure problems, but your English really holds together, and for a Chinese learner, I think your English is quite marvellous. :)

Saying "speaking loudly" here sounds unnatural because it is disconnected from practicing your English. Also, "speaking loudly" sounds like "yelling". What you mean is reading something "out loud" (talking to yourself or others). It sounds more natural if you specify why you are "speaking out loud".

Luckily it is warm in my city for getting up as it is located in south of my country.

Not sure what you mean by "for getting up". Do you mean "warm enough to stand outside on the balcony"?

Thanks for reading my day 2 post.

Have a good day!

Feedback

Leaning English as a native Chinese speaker is very difficult, but your many years of experience show in how well you can express yourself. Good job! With more practice I'm sure your English will become more natural in no time at all. Keep practicing and best of luck!
