Default Could novels help?

Dear teachers,

One of my problems in English is that I feel like I say all the sentences different from the way a native speaker would say, like I just translate Persian sentences into English and speak them. Some teachers say to solve this case I have to think English, but the matter is I can make myself think English all the time but I undoubtedly will make mistakes and repeat them while doing so and it could add insult to injury!!(I hope I have used it in the right place)

I thought maybe reading novels would help me.
What do you think should I do? Is reading novels a good way at all? Or should I do something else?

Thanks in advance.
