Learning English in Middle School

The first time I learned English was in the first year of middle school. My first English teacher was a retired old man called Muyun, hired by my school from another town. He was in his sixties when he became our teacher. He didn't teach us long before another formal English teacher was allocated to my school.

Muyun was short and thin, but he looked energetic. I can remember how he taught us to pronounce the word "are", which was a little different from how it should be pronounced. I also remember a sentence in my English textbook which was "Dongfanghong tractors are made in Luoyang."

After Muyun left our school, the teacher who taught us was a new graduate from a normal school. His English, I guess, was better than Muyun's. At least he had a more accurate pronunciation. His family name was Liu, the same as mine, and his first name was Zhengguo. In addition, he had good skills at playing table tennis.

Thank you very much.

TheMy first time I learneding English was during the first year of middle school.

Slightly more natural this way.

My first English teacher was a retired old man callnamed Muyun,. He was hired by my school from another town.

These are two separate thoughts, so I would separate them into 2 sentences.

He didn't teach us long before another formal English teacher was allocated to my school.

I moved this further down in your story because it feels distracting here.

Muyun was short and thin, but he lookedwas energetic.

I also remember a sentence in my English textbook which wasread, "Dongfanghong tractors are made in Luoyang."

Commas should always go just before quotations.

After Muyun left our school, the teacher who taught us was a new graduate from aMuyun didn't teach us long before another formal English teacher was assigned to my school. The new teacher was a recent normal school graduate.

As I mentioned above, I moved one of your earlier sentences to here. I also arranged some of the words to make it sound a bit more natural.

His English, I guess,In my opinion, his English was better than Muyun's.

At the very least, he had a more accurate pronunciation.

In addition, he had good skills to teacher, he was good at playing table tennis.

What you wrote is technically correct, but this version is how it would be typically expressed in English.
