Trying to write in English
Hello! Today I'm gonna try to write a little bit about my English skills in English. Please, tell me about my mistakes :)
I was learning English at school and university, but I don't have confidence that I can speak and use English well in my real life. In my opinion, my skill or reading is the most strong of writing, reading and speaking. I think the reason is many translation experience in study progress. I often heard something like "You must learn English". But I'm included in kind of people who don't want to do something if someone talks " You must do it".
So before I wasn't interested in study English at all (but was use it when learn other languages). But now I desided that I wanna do it for myself. I wanna be like friends with English and be no confused when I use it. So I am here to change my feelings and opinions about English:)
Thank you for reading this. Have a nice day!

Hello! Today I'm gonna (ok if it’s informal) try to write a little bit about my English skills in English. Please, tell me about my mistakes :) I learned English at school and university, but I don't have much confidence in speaking and using English well in my real life. In my opinion, my reading skill or reading is the strongest, compared to of writing, reading (? You mean listening?) and speaking. I think the main reason is in translating during my language study study progress. I often heard others say, "You must learn English". But I'm one of those who don't like to be told what to do. As such, So before I wasn't interested in studying in English at all (but I used it to learn other languages). But now I have decided that I wanna (ok if it’s informal) do it for myself. I wanna be like friends with English and not be confused when I use it. So, I am here to change my views and thoughts about English:) Thank you for reading this. Have a nice day!

Privet Nadezhda, I won't correct your writing, because Ying Yi has already done a good job. I just wanted to say that motivation is really important for learning any language. From my own experience learning Spanish, I hated studying grammar - it's SO boring and complicated that I got frustrated and wanted to give up. I eventually started reading Harry Potter, because it wasn't too difficult and it was fun. I had a student who had amazing pronunciation and vocabulary just from listening to music. He was only fifteen years old and if his parents told him to study he wouldn't be interested, but he was happy to spend three or four hours a day listening to music.
Find websites about things that interest you, to practice reading, or look for short videos - they can help you with listening. An example was a student who liked cooking. We found a YouTube channel with a lady that had good pronunciation and not a strong accent, who presented a new recipe every day and each video was only about 2-3 minutes. They also had subtitles, so you could read what she was saying. Watching a short video on your mobile is much easier and more interesting than studying horrible grammar! Good luck!
