Please evaluate my accent and give honest comments.
I've been living in an English speaking country for 10 years since I was 11 years old.
How far am I from sounding like a native speaker?
What do you think my native language is?

Greenpeace conservation activists say they have disrupted the Japanese whale hunt near Antarctica's coast by chasing a factory ship out of the whaling zone. Crew from protest ship Esperanza said they were maintaining the chase as the whalers cannot hunt at the same time. A spokesman for Japan's whale hunt said Greenpeace's actions were illegal and people should not treat them as heroes.
Japan's whaling fleet plans to kill about 900 minke whales and 50 fin whales by mid-April. The hunt is part of what it calls a scientific research program, permitted under a clause in International Whaling Commission rules. But Australia and other nations say the same research goals could be achieved using non-lethal methods, and call the research program a front for commercial whaling. The hunt has suspended plans to kill 50 humpback whales, amid a storm of international criticism. A number of ships are in southern waters on the trail of the hunters, including an Australian patrol ship that plans to video the whalers for a possible legal challenge, and the Steve Irwin, belonging to the radical Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
A schism has emerged between the protest groups as Greenpeace has pledged to take non-violent action to prevent the hunt, while Sea Shepherd has suggested more direct action to “shut the criminals down”.
