One possible version
I am very glad to share my experience on practising spoken English with you. I think English is very important because it is used by about a quarter of the world's population. To improve my spoken English, I recite excellent sentences and passages every day. I also watch English programs. Besides, I often introduce the places of interest and delicious food of Foshan to my foreign friends in English. I'm collecting some English materials of the Shanghai Expo and I'm going to take my American pen pal around it during the summer holiday. That will be the best chance to use English.
If you want to speak English well,you must take any chance to practise!
I hope you will make great progress in your spoken English soon.
