Question about English (US)
I'd really like you to check this setence out, and teach me unnatural and wrong points.
I heard a woman talking with someone, one is a student and the other is an adult when I was eating in my university. The woman suddenly spoke to me and asked how about my university. After my answering the question, she begun to have interest in me because I looked so confident from the way I talked. Then while I was telling them about my background, I felt a little bit difference about her. I wondered if she had been so great person, and I asked man sitting next to me about her. He told me that she has been a famous simultaneous interpreter in the world. I felt surprised and awful, but I thought this is good chance, so I felt excited. After the conversation, they gave me delightful words and introduced to me a great person who is an entrepreneur. He has a lecture on April 22. I've decided to go. I had no expectations like this, but today's lucky meeting, I believe, cause me to have a better opportunity to broaden my horizons and chances. I'm so greatful for their warm and kind talking.

This is how I would change it:
I heard a woman talking with someone when I was eating at my university. One was a student and the other was an adult. The woman suddenly spoke to me and asked about my university. After I answered the question, she took an interest in me because I looked so confident the way I talked. Then, while I was telling them about my background, I felt something a little different about her. I wondered if she was someone well-known, and I asked the man sitting next to me about her. He told me that she was a famous (simultaneous?) interpreter. I was surprised and felt awful (why??), but I thought this was a good chance, so I was excited. After the conversation, they (gave me delightful words? complimented me?) and told me about an accomplished/a famous entrepreneur. He has a lecture on April 22. I've decided to go. I don't expect things like this, but I think today's lucky meeting gave me an opportunity to broaden my horizons. I think it'll bring me new chances. I'm so grateful for their conversation and their warmth and kindness.
