Why doesn't the text break in the rigth place? In case of using sfdeault, it's good.

Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format.– jub0bsDec 23, 2013 at 15:51

This is similar to How to get long \texttt sections to break. By default the tt
font does not have stretachable interword spaces and so there is not much room for TeX to manoevre when choosing line breaks. Adding some stretchability improves the line breaking:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\geometry{top=10mm, bottom=10mm, left=10mm, right=10mm}
\geometry{showframe}
\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{cals}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*\flextt{%
\ttfamily
\fontdimen2\font=0.4em% interword space
\fontdimen3\font=0.2em% interword stretch
\fontdimen4\font=0.1em% interword shrink
\fontdimen7\font=0.1em% extra space
}
\begin{document}
\flextt
\begin{calstable}
\colwidths{
{15pt}
{10pt}
{515.60239pt}
}
\cals@paddingL=1pt
\cals@paddingR=1pt

It's always a big deal trying to break words in tt
fonts.
You can try using a sloppypar
environment:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\geometry{top=10mm, bottom=10mm, left=10mm, right=10mm}
\geometry{showframe}
\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{cals}
\makeatletter
\begin{document}
%\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\ttdefault}
\normalfont
\begin{calstable}
\colwidths{
{15pt}
{10pt}
{515.50239pt}
}
\cals@paddingL=1pt
\cals@paddingR=1pt
\def\cals@borderT{0.2pt}
\def\cals@borderB{0.2pt}
\def\cals@borderL{0.2pt}
\def\cals@borderR{0.2pt}
\brow
\alignR \cell{\strut E}
\alignC \cell{\strut =}
\alignL \cell{\begin{sloppypar}\strut this is the english text, this is the english text,
this is the english text, this is the english text, this is the english text,
this is the english text, this is the english text\end{sloppypar}}
\erow
\end{calstable}
