Thank you very much for your useful advice! I think it will be difficult, because I can't be fluent in a short time. But I will try my best to improve my English as much as possible. I want to become a good student and then I can find a well-paid job. I will practise these skills everyday^^. Thank you very much again.^^

Speaking
The only way to learn how to speak a language is by speaking it. So, find some people to practice with. Here are some options:
Search Google or Meetup.com for Language Exchanges or English Conversation meetups in your area.
Find someone that is also learning English and schedule meetups where you only speak in English.
Search for language exchange partners on italki.
Find a conversational English coach on italki.
Anytime you are actively speaking English (especially with someone who is native or at a higher level than you) you will be improving. When you are not around other Anglophones, you can try a couple of these tricks:
Think in English. Whenever possible dictate your actions and thoughts in your target language.
Talk to a pet or mirror in English
I hope this helps!!

Listening:
The biggest thing I can recommend is to listen to things you like to listen to. Here is a short recommendation list I often give to my students that I like to listen to.
Podcasts.
These are great because you can listen to them while on your way to work, school, etc.
Recommendations:
Int: TED Radio Hour, Radiolab
Adv: ATP, HelloInternet
Youtube.
These are short and also usually have transcripts and subtitles for you to follow along.
Recommendations:
Int: MinuteEarth, MinutePhysics
Adv: CGP Grey
TED Talks.
These are great because they have a wide variety of topics and you can follow along with subtitles in many different languages. I recommend trying to use only English subtitles, but if you are having trouble, watch it once with your native language subtitles, then watch it again with English subtitles or without subtitles.
TV and movies. Find things you are already interested in and try to watch them in English with English subtitles. If you are having trouble, watch it once with your native language subtitles, then watch it again with English subtitles or without subtitles. I highly recommend animated TV shows and movies because they are funny and they tend you use a vocabulary made for children and teenagers.
