Thank you guys very much! That is what I wanted to say.  I felt a little bit shame on me as I read your corrections. . But just because I am so bad at English, so I have to learn it. Thank your again for your help.
I am going to watch CNN News today and try to write sth about it.

Great. Welcome on board! Just form a good learning habit and adhere to it. You would get your English improved soon. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Everybody makes mistakes, that's why we keep practising it.

To some extent. It helps you to improve English and German at the same time, although not as fast as when you focus on one particular language.

Welcome! That's already a good start. Nice to meet you.

Just last week I handed in my final thesis and am expecting to get my dimploma soon.  "course" is a better word than “lecture", and "to brush up my English" is the proper expression.

I watched CNN news yesterday. But I couldn't even catch the exact meaning of a several-seconds news.  There were some words hurdled me.

Generally well written. But the use of the word "hurdle" is inproper here. You may write: There are some words standing in my way of understanding. or There are some words disturbing/hindering/obstructing my understanding.
