In addition, I met an old man there. He’s from India. He comes to a mall and just talks to passersby every day. Why? He does that to always learn new things. He actually has a lot of acquaintances and friends there. When he talked to me, he told he tried to learn from me as well. I was so impressed he made efforts to learn from others including me even though he was no younger than 85. Indeed, even though the Japanese tend to be reluctant to, we should also learn from younger people.

  • In addition, I met an old man there.

    I think it's more natural to combine those two sentences...

 
  • He’s from India.

  • He’s from India.

 
  • He comes to a mall and just talks to passersby every day.

  • He goes to the mall every day just to talk with passersby.

 
  • He does that to always learn new things.

  • He does it to always learn something new.

 
  • He actually has a lot of acquaintances and friends there.

  • When he talked to me, he told he tried to learn from me as well.

  • When he spoke with me, he said he also tried to learn something from me.

 
  • I was so impressed he made efforts to learn from others including me even though he was no younger than 85.

  • I was so impressed that he tried to learn from others, including me, even though he was no younger than 85.

 
  • Indeed, even though the Japanese tend to be reluctant to, we should also learn from younger people.

  • Indeed, even though Japanese tend to be reluctant to, we should also learn from younger people.

Thank you for your help!! It made me aware of some habits of my grammar errors. And yeah, he was a wise man, indeed. He had been working as an engineer for one company for a long time, and seemed to enjoy life after retirement.

  • In addition, I met an old man there.

  • In addition, I met an old man from India there.

    "In addition" doesn't make sense in this entry. If part 1 and part 2 were together, you could use it. But since it's two different entries, it doesn't really make sense.

 
  • He comes to a mall and just talks to passersby every day.

  • He goes to the mall everyday and just talks to with passersby every day.

 
  • He does that to always learn new things.

  • He always does that it to always learn something new things. (from the people he meets).

    "From the people he meets" isn't necessary, but it completes the sentence, in my opinion.

 
  • I was so impressed he made efforts to learn from others including me even though he was no younger than 85.

  • I was so impressed that he makes an efforts to learn from others, including me, even though he was no younger than 85.

 
  • Indeed, even though the Japanese tend to be reluctant to, we should also learn from younger people.

  • Indeed, even though the Japanese people tend to be reluctant to, we should also learn from younger people.
