Hello Shasam

I think your correction is almost perfect. I tried to rewrite it as below, but please don’t believe it is a good English because I too am a mere English learner at a beginner's level. Please wait until some native speaker puts a better correction.

I am 46 years old and married for twenty years. We have three children; one son and two daughters. They are six, eight and eleven years old each. I have been working as an electrical engineer for a company which manufactures machines for process automation. I am going to learn English in Great Britain because I think the language is very important for my job. After learning English, I would like to run my own company though it might be a little one with ten employees or so. If it isn't possible, maybe I will manage a department of some company producing high technology machines. I have completed the test sheets and sent back them directly to you. Thank you for giving me through your agent the information about my course in Bristol. I appreciate very much your taking the trouble. I'm looking forward to studying at your school and I am sure I can polish my English there. I still don't know the number of the flight I take on 5th March. I would let you know it as soon as possible when I know it.

In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

Paco,
You certainly are more than a beginner, and you have a command of grammatical understanding that it's too late in life for me to acquire.

But I will offer a couple of changes to your excellent revision, based on my simple credentials as a native speaker:

I am 46 years old and have been married for twenty years. We have three children: one son and two daughters. They are, respectively, six, eight and eleven years old.. I have been working as an electrical engineer for a company that manufactures machines for process automation. I intend to learn English in Great Britain because I think the language is very important for my job. After learning English, I would like to run my own company, though it might be a little one with ten employees or so. If that isn't possible, maybe I will manage a department within some company that produces high technology machines. I have completed the test sheets and have sent them back directly to you. Thank you for having your agent give me the information about my course in Bristol. I very much appreciate your taking the trouble. I'm looking forward to studying at your school, and I am sure I can polish my English there. I still don't know the number of the flight I will be taking on 5th March. I will let you know it as soon as I know it.

Hello Dave

Thank you for the correction. Reading yours, I thought I'm still too poor at writing English.

Hey Paco, just wait until somebody corrects mine. 

Try reading some of my Japanese some day..  (All I learned was from reading Shogun 25 years ago, and watching Kurosawa and Ozu films.)
