I first knew English when I was in the first grade of middle school.

My first English teacher was an old man. My school hired him from another town. He taught us only for a few months before he left for the reason I didn't know.

One English sentence I remember clearly so far is "Dongfanghong tractors are made in Luoyang".

Our second English teacher was a young man. His name was Liuzhengguo. He just graduated from a normal school and he was very good at playing table tennis.

After graduating from middle school, I went to a technical secondary school. Although there was an English subject in the school, I didn't study it hard because studying in this school meant that I already got an opportunity to work in the government department.

After I worked, I almost forgot anything I had learned about English.

Around 2000, I bought a personal computer and I got to touch English again, but I just knew nothing about English apart from "yes" and "no".

In order to use the computer better, I bought a small computer English dictionary, and learned some simple English words.

This time, I am learning English just for fun, and focus on writing and speaking.

I don't know what you mean by "normal school".

Your original sentence wasn't wrong, the correction just makes its meaning clearer and smoother to read.

After I worked, I almost forgot anjoined the workforce, I forgot almost everything I had learned about English.

Around 2000, I bought a personal computer and I got to touccame in contact with English again, but I just knewremembered nothing about Englishit apart from "yes" and "no".

English was already mentioned earlier in the sentence, so 'it' can be used instead.

"got to touch" has specific connotations that don't quite fit the meaning of your sentence, so I changed it to "came in contact". "Got to touch" implies that you had significant remaining english knowledge that you wanted to exercise, so you purchased the computer for that purpose. "Came in contact" implies that you were reminded about english again once you bought the computer.

In order to use the computer better, I bought a small computer English dictionary, and learned some simple English words.

This time, I am learning English just for fun, andwith a focus on writing and speaking.

There are other ways to correct the sentence, such as

"and focusing on"

but the correction I gave lessens the amount that the 'ing' sound repeats, so it sounds a bit better.
