My resolution for this year - Correction please !
I think I could become more fluent in my 2nd language. So every year, I decided to study English more eagerly. But at the end of the year, I recognize myself failing on this issue. Then I decide to study more on the new year's resolution, again. This routine goes for a long period of years. Which makes me become good at making the very same resolution and struggles with no developing touch all again and again. But it's OK, I'll go this way, this year.

My resolution for this year - Correction please !
I think I could become more fluent in my 2nd language. So every year, I decided have been/keep deciding to study English more eagerly. But at the end of the year, I recognize myself that I'm failing on this issue. Then I decide to study more on the new year's resolution, again. Then I decide once again to add studying more to my New Year's resolutions. This routine goes on for a long period of years, which makes me become good at making the very same resolution again and again and struggles struggling with no developing non-development touch all again and again. But it's OK, I'll go this way, this year. (this sentence isn't clear. Do you mean you will continue to make a resolution...but not achieve it? Or do you mean you will seriously try to achieve it this year?)Great tone, Shoji! Your writing voice is mature and thoughtful.
point one: This routine goes on for years = This routine goes on for a long period of time. These both mean the same thing. If you mix them, you are saying the same thing twice.
point two: excellent use of the word "routine"! Routine both means 'a repeated practice' and 'a comical or annoying event that is often repeated by a person'. As in "When Yuki starts her routine about not having enough time to call me...I just start laughing'. Yuki often says she doesn't have enough time to call and it's starting to become annoying/comical. This double meaning works perfectly in your essay! Your 'routine' of making this New Year's resolution is a fact...but it's also a little bit comical/annoying to you at the same time.

My resolution for this year - Correction please !
I think I could become more fluent in my 2nd language. So every year, I eagerly decide to improve my English but at the end of the year, I realize, that I have failed to do so. Yet, when the new year comes again, I choose the same new year's resolution, as the year before. This routine goes on for many years, which makes me become good at making the very same resolution and struggles, with no improvements. I repeat this over and over again. But it's OK, I'll do the same this year.Want to progress faster?
