WHAT IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS?
While many students never try this, it is quite effective. The best way to improve your speaking skills is by trying to learn to think in English. While this takes time, the rewards will be evident. Try a simple exercise to see how it's done. Think of picking up a pen or turning on a light switch, now try to form your thoughts in English! Practice a few minutes a day on different tasks and soon you will be able to think in English, and once you do your ability to speak English will improve dramatically.

I think so!
I'm listening radio English conversation program every day.
But,when I talked with my friends in English,
what I wanted to speak was never slept out from my tongue.
To be clearly what I want to tell is really effective for my conversation.

I agree with you totally. But my problem is I an not sure how native English speakers think. So even I want to think in English, I can't. I don't know what kind of thinking is the English thinking style and what is not.

Can you tell me how native English speakers think?

Native English speakers think the same as anybody else. The point is to think in English instead of your native language... you could even try talking to yourself silently to practice... form your thoughts in English words and images and phrases...
