Yesterday my American friend asked me how long I had been learning English. I said I had been learning English since middle school. He was surprised. And he said, ¡°Why do you learn English?¡± When we travel to foreign countries, have a conversation with foreigners, and read English books, we need English. I am good at reading and writing in English, but I have no confidence in talking with foreigners. I have to start to practice speaking.

=======================
Would you correct the passage? I'd like you to pay special attention to tense in sentences. Thank you.

Yesterday my American friend asked me how long I had been studying English. I said I have been studying English since middle school. He was surprised. And he asked, "Why do you want to learn English?" I answered, "When we travel to foreign countries, have a conversation with foreigners, and read English books, we need English. I am good at reading and writing in English, but I have no confidence in talking to English-speaking foreigners. I need to practice speaking it."
