Your English is really better than you think it is -- however, the incorrect use of "actual" needed correction.

In English, "actual" means соответсующий фактам or действительный, so the meaning is different from актуальный.

Translations for актуальный would include "current", "timely", and "up-to-date".

Thank you so much.

But in fact I have never studied English with a teacher. And I have no speaking practice.
