What do you guys think? ?
Well, let's talk honestly...
First of all, your writing is good enough to be understood so that I can make corrections. If I cannot understand what you are saying, then it is really REALLY bad. So don't be too hard on yourself for spending all those years studying. It paid off but you don't know it.
I cannot comment your oral English since I have no idea how you speak but I can comment and criticize constructively on your writing.
First of all, punctuation spacing... Do you know the basic rules? Or is it that you are being lazy and did not put enough care and attention in the writing. Only you can honestly answer it. However, let's evaluate all the cases. If you don't know the basic rules then, your teacher did not teach you well or that you have been studying the wrong stuff. If you basics are not good, how do you expect to improve and soar the heavens? If you know the rules and still flout them, then you have answered your own question that your English is still at a poor level. Or that it had become a bad habit. You must pay attention to such details. Do you dress sloppily when you go out? This is my pet peeve.
To be fair and honest, some of the corrections is not because you made a mistake but to make your essay better by having a smoother flow of sentences. I give you the benefit of doubt that some are just typos. However, I do detect that you haven't mastered the nuances of the language yet. For example, the difference in meaning "Do you understand...." and "Can you understand..." I won't blame you for this since you are not living in a place where English is used daily.
I suggest you just have to do with movies, audio books etc. Because of China's censorship, I cannot direct you to many of the excellent resources to learn English in Youtube etc.
Lastly don't give up. You are already halfway there.

Chinese students work so hard, let alone highschool students who are preparing for the college entrance examination.When I was a highschool student, all I did was studying.My high school even cancelled the PE classes so we could focus on our studies.Do you understand how frustrating it is that I have spent so many years but can't communicate with foreigners?

Did you type this article on a smarphone? Why are there so many spelling mistakes and punctuation errors?
On this issue, I think the problem is most Chinese people do not study English (or other foreign European languages) with appropriate methods. The best way to learn a language is to use it actively, not to memorize everything by brutal force.
I admit that English is much much more difficult for Chinese to learn than it is for native speakers of an European language because Mandarin is so different from English that you can seldom find cognates. In addition, we do not have enough eligible English teachers.
I don't think you need to be frustrated about it. As long as you are forced to use English actively in your job, your level of English will just get ameliorated.
