Hello Jessie, You have obviously learned a lot of vocabulary ,but limited your practice to reading, writing and memorizing them. What you need is a lot of oral practice applying all this vocabulary. Here are some steps you might take to help to improve your oral discourse and speaking ability in English : - Record yourself and others speaking in English - Note what "fillers" you use, how and when. Fillers are those words you use fill the gap of vocabulary you don't know or you don't remember ,so you just use instead some words or exclamations .If you notice how frequently you use them in sentences and their exact position , you will know how much you have to work to improve your speech and it will be easier for you to monitor your gradual improvement. Some of those fillers are Huh, oh, well .., so .., and ... but uh ..., let me see ..., the list could go on and on. - Repeat short oral discourses practicing without using the fillers you noted. Now you try to repeat your speech substituting the fillers with words . You have to make an effort and concentrate more .You could use a dictionary ( Chinese/English) to look up new words and add to your vocabulary. - Have a friend, peer or teacher listen to you speak and ask them to make note of your use of "fillers", to correct your sentences and help you out with the right word when you hesitate. It should improve your speech gradually. - Watch, record and imitate experienced speakers to improve your skills. - Keep listening more to spoken English through any media of your choice and through native speakers . This will help you achieve fluency on the long run . Good luck:) 加油

You need more practise. It's obvious if you practise as much as you can you feel the results immediately. One of the effective way to have practise in speaking is to find someone who will speak with you via skype or other voice chat. There are many advantages of speaking using internet services. If you have skype please contact me (My skype ID: Giz137) and we will have a free chat on the various subjects.
