Why not practise talking English with your friend?
Here are the Italki English/ Chinese speakers. Email some of them and invite them to be your friend or language partner. Set up a time to chat on MSN or SKYPE. Remember the time differences between countries, If there is a green light next to a person's name, it means that they are on line. Good luck! Click on here:

你好 choke :)
I had the same problem in both English and Chinese , but I found out that online voice calls helps alot .. so I think U just need to make good friends over the web and start talking to them , even if U can't be fluent or talk out loud .....with time U will be better :)
and try to listen to untranslated videos in English such as songs or movies or even chek this site that have many intersting and informative videos (Tedtalks.com)
have a good day !

Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.
Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.
* Be patient.
You can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.
The following are some book references to help you improve your oral English:
- Spoken English by R K Bansal and J B Harrison
- Pronounce It Perfectly In English by Jean Yates, Barrons Eductional
Series.
- English Pronunciation For International Students by Paulett Wainless
Dale, Lillian Poms.

Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you. the person could be a teacher, a chatting pal, a real native speaking friend.
Record these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time.
* Buy books on tape.
Record yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape.
* Pronounce the ending of each word.
Pay special attention to 'ED' and 'S' endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English.
* Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day.
Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language.
