I've studied English so long and I can listen and understand what native speakers say.
But I have to admit I can't speak enough.
I want to reach the level that I be able to make a good presentation in front of audience.
In order to do that, I need to improve my vocabulary and fluency.

It's very tough for me.
Sometimes I become desperate and feel that nobody can achieve to reach that level unless you lived in other countries when you were young.

But the idea was mistake.
You can make a good English presentation if you study hard.
I came to that conclusion when I see a presentation done by a president of a company.
He graduated from American Business school. But he hadn't been to US before the business school.
He did a excellent presentatin about his expertise and his business.
He answered all the question with sense of humor.

Now I believe I can be good english presentator someday if I keep studying.
