Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English
very well when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure (结构), but
a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their
mistakes.
It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This
proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they lack
practice and confidence (自信).
Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy, they
will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak
by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.
