English is an useful tool in our life. Usually I will read some simple paragraph. So I think ,writing something in the student forum is a right way to practise my English.But my listening is not very good in English.Sometimes I can not understand totally when they are speaking.Beacause there is any words that I do not know.
How to improve my oral English ? Can you help me?
Thank you!

It's the biggest problem for Chinese, so take it easy.I am also not very good at speaking. But I think that confidence is important , Jenny has told us that if you don't make mistakes then you would not get progress. It is said 'failure is the mother of success'.

However, the best way to improve our oral English is living in English environment. So if you get the opportunity to go abroad ^^^^

Hi, I am agree with your viewpoint. I am always afraid that I will make some mistakes with oral English. So When I speak English ,I have not enough confidence. I think I will do my best to learn English.

Hi
SPEAK SPEAK SPEAK is the mantra to polish up your oral skills. Try to speak English with your fellow friends and the people you know on a daily basis. Plus reading lots of English books and listening to English radio stations will be useful to you. Try picking out difficult words and look out for the meaning of those words and try to apply them in your daily conversation. Don't be afraid to make mistakes as you will learn better from making mistakes. Remember, it is the positive sign of learning English. Good Luck
