 How to learn oral English
                                      --from China Daily
  Really doubt there is such a material which can be the text book of oral English
  If u wish to improve ur oral English, which means u express urself verbally in english language, then I suppose urself can be more helpful than anything else, which means urself is a perfect tool for ur improving oral english.\u000B
  Not ring any bell, is it? Okay, let's get it straight
  First and foremost, u who wish to "learn" oral English should understand what the hell the oral English is. Most of us don't. Shame. Well, we do know by oral English, we mean virtually "speak" the English language. 
  The problem is most of us feel rather difficult to "speak" it well, either stammered by the word at the tip of the tongue, or, in most cases, failing to organize the words by which u wish to express ur idea.

  In my opinion, u could never organize them well if u wish to organize them in the first place, because the essence of the oral English is , but nothing more, a HABIT.\u000B
  Yes, you see, the oral English is but a habit. Why native speakers can speak this language as if every word is so willing to jump out of their mouths? Because they have formed the habit while we don't. 
  If, say, the native speakers have to organize their words from the very beginning, which means they organize every sentence they r about to say word by word, they would feel just as chaotic as we do. 
  It is called "lost their tongues". Believe it or not, when the native speakers happen to perceive that they have to organize their words, then at least for an instance, they would well lose their tongues just like we always do.\u000B
  So, always bear in mind that the oral English, even the English language as a whole, is but a habit. Hence, the only thing we do in order to learn this language is by forming such a habit. 
  So, now we are talking about how to form a habit. Well, a habit, let's say brushing ur teeth before bed. Its a fairly good habit. Do you? Well, I do. I could still remember when I was very little, my mon always bade me like "Go to the bathroom, brush ur teeth!", before bed time. 
At the very beginning, I didn't even know how to brush the teeth. Then my mom told me u should hold ur brush in such way, and move it in such and such way. I did nothing more but followed her instruction. 
  We just follow it as it is. Then, if u r not so lucky to be a genius, chances r u may forget, say, sort of steps of the instruction. Doesn't matter, we never learned how to brush the teeth after the first time, did we? So we do the recollection and repetition. Then day after day, we do it over and over. then one day, bang! it becomes a habit.\u000B
  So easy? Well, unfortunately, not really. 
  The difference between brushing the teeth and learning oral English is that oral English is much more complicated than brushing the teeth (Should I remind u that the way to learn then is the same.). 
  The oral English actually not only means brushing ur teeth, but also dressing ur clothes, tying ur tie, etc., etc., if u know what I mean. So, as Rome wasn't built in a day, there is no open sesame to this matter. 
  This concept is very important. There is no tangible technique which can make u learning it any faster. The only thing that can make u faster is ur determination and endeavor on it. 
  So, in other words, we should eat this gigantic cake bite by bite. u may never finish the cake, but the more u bite, the more u learn about this language.
