Best solution would be to watch good English movies, and listen carefully to the dialogues and imitate them. Theres no need to be nervous, coz the person opposite you may not be good in Chinese! so you have a upper hand there! Try and get some popular English song albums and enjoy listening to them.. Try and talk a lot with your English friends, this will help your confidence to build gradually. If you do not speak at all for fear of being laughed at, you will never learn! If you like reading, maybe you could read good English novels/ story books. This will improve your vocubulary. SO you wont fall short of words to use when speaking in English.
