Is my English still retarded?

Please check the grammars of these sentences:

1.At his front he saw a person standing behind his reflection at the mirror. It’s a sharp dressed man who looks better than him.

2.The only ones you can beat are the people weaker than you.

3.I need to unleash the burning anger I have within. No one is going to protect you now.

Sentence one: you have two fragment sentences, seperate the ideas with either a comma or semi-colon in this case i would use a semi-colon
Sentence two: change it to this :The only people you can beat are the ones that are weaker than you.
Sentence three: same as number one.

1. Your word order leaves us wondering.
Restructure placing the nouns close to the phrases referring to them:
In front of him, he saw his reflection in the mirror. Behind him in his reflection, he saw a sharp dressed man, better looking than him.

2.Restructing is needed. Pronouns are used after you indicate the nouns they represent.
The only people you can beat are the ones weaker than you.

3.Never end a sentence with a preposition. "within" is a preposition.
Needing to unleash the burning anger within me, no one is going to protect you now.

The error in number 1 is the shift of the tenses. In the first sentence you use the perfect tense (past), then you switch to the present tense. Either you need to change "saw" to "see" or "it's" and "looks" to "it was" and "looked."

You must be an ESL in English Restructure your sentences it to your self to see if it makes sense. English is very hard to learn. You can do it!
