What a sad day!
I feel so sad today, and I need to write about it.
The first step of learning is always confusion, and I don't know how to continue.
I have already prepared for IELTS almost one month. I practice my oral , remember new words and read books everyday but my English level fail to improve. When I had a conversation with a native speaker, I could not express myself quite naturally and cannot even remember one word sometimes.
I am anxious about IELTS because I have to learn too much in too little time and I don't know how to go on learning.

What a sad day!
I feel so sad today, and I need to write and express how I feel.
The first step of learning is always confusing, and I don't know how to continue.
I'm already prepared for IELTS for almost one month now. I did practice my pronunciation , Memorized new vocabularies and I usually read books everyday but it seems that my English skills is not improving. When I had a conversation with a native speaker, I couldn't express myself quite naturally or (well) and I can't even remember a word sometimes.
I'm anxious about IELTS because I have to learn a lot for just a short period of time and I don't know how to continue and learn more.

I have already prepared for the IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) for almost one month. I practice my oral skills(no space), remember new words and read books every day (everyday= "stress is an everyday event because it happens every day" - "shower gel is an everyday household item which you use every day. The difference is small but definite, it's when 2 words get fused together over time, like, "sometimes" some times - small but important difference) but my English level fails to improve. When I had a conversation with a native speaker recently (past tense), I could not express myself quite naturally and sometimes I could not even remember one word!
I am anxious about my (or the) IELTS because I have to learn too much in too little time and I don't know how to go on learning.

Don't give up Fiona just keep on practicing and polishing your weak points and keep striving for your best. I know you can make it. :)

You are sad because you have convinced yourself that you have not improved, but who says you have not improved? You!
And you are saying you have not improved because you're really saying how anxious you are.
Anxiety is the fear of impending negativity.
I remember something that a boxing trainer (sport) said about anxiety, he said, "If I say I'm going to slap you across your face, and do it, that's one thing, but if I tell you I'm going to slap your face and tell you to close your eyes, and I don't do it, the anxiety of waiting for the slap is worse than the slap".
Your mind is creating monsters, and because your mind knows how best to scare you, the monsters are convincing, but they're not real.
Your English is really very good, it's not perfect but neither is mine, sometimes I forget words too, that's when I have to say the same thing but in a different way, make references, try another way.
I recommend to you, to try to do less, but work on that being better, rather than try to be brilliant at everything.
To go from the Chinese language to the English language, is extremely hard, and already you have done so very well.
I send you a comforting hug even though I know signs of affection are frowned upon in China :)
(I'm not in China haha)
