I am very worried about your brother's illness. How can he get the disease at such a young age? I hope he gets well and never relapses again. Tell him to eat more vegetables, drink more water, eat less meat and do more exercise. I think these methods would work for his illness. I have been doing well recently. You know, my work is phased. Recently, I have not been very busy. Most of the time, I just stay in my office waiting for new work. Of course, learning English is the biggest thing in my recent life and I have never stopped learning. I hope you can rest for a period of time because you may be tired after taking care of your brother. So stay healthy and stay happy.

Could you please tell me why it’s “could” here?

Hi Jack, the difference between 'can' and 'could' is subtle but very important if you want to sound more like a native speaker. Basically 'could' refers to the past whereas 'can' refers to the present. So when you write 'how can he get this disease' you're speaking about the past so 'could' is more appropriate here. The more you read and write in English the better you will understand this difference. Even as a native speaker I'm finding it difficult to describe how and when to use 'could' rather than 'can'. Here are some example sentences that sound natural: 'how can we be better people?'; 'how could someone do something so cruel?'; 'why can't humans fly?'; 'why couldn't we just be friends?'; 'who can play here?'; 'who could have done this?'.
I hope this is helpful!

I am very worried about your brother's illness.
How can he get theat/this disease at such a young age?
I hope he gets well and never relapses again.
Tell him to eat more vegetables, drink more water, eat less meat and do more exercise more.
I think these methods would work for his illness.
You could also say "would help his illness"
I have been doing well recently.
You know, my work is phased.
I think you mean seasonal work? That would be a more commonly used term.
Reading your next sentences you could also say your work is project-based.
Recently, I have not been very busy.
Most of the time, I just sitay in my office waiting for new work.
Of course, learning English is the biggest thingfocus in my life recent lifely, and I have never stopped learning.
The last part of your sentence (I have never stopped learning) sounds a bit unclear because it sounds like you have been learning your whole life but you never mentioned this.
Maybe you mean you have been staying diligent with your studies? You could say that directly or you could say: I have been keeping up with learning every day.
I hope you can get some rest for a period of time because you may be tired afterfrom taking care of your brother.
So stay healthy and stay happy.
