Hi Khaleed,
This is one of the commonest problems of learners of English throughout the world. Relax, you are not alone. One of my teachers told me that 'One must be exposed to the target language in order to speak in it.' You should bare in mind that you must try to speak wherever or whenever you are. When you are alone, you can translate your ideas or whatever you see into English...
Don't ever give up!
Good luck

i think its very common among us especially non english speaking
country. sometimes its so difficult to answer immediately the
question without thinking first what to say and how to say it!
but as long as the thought is there i think its okey.

hi khaleed,
I am quite sure your English will improve if you keep watching some american/British films.By listening to authentic English you will foster your listening skills and thus your speech too!
good luck
Mostafa, Morocco

Hi K ,

Actually , I don`t have different answer to whom before me . But, I really agree with them that most of English learners ( or other languages) face the same problem . So , I respect their opinions .

Just keep going bro .

I have a suggestion that may work sometimes. Your mind needs a few seconds or longer to think of the words. It is common and acceptable many times to repeat the question you have been asked. Here is an example:
Q: What is the problem with that machine, is it broken or something?"
A: Oh, this machine, you think there is something wrong with it, maybe it is broken you think. I hear a sound, too. Maybe the belt is loose?"

Maybe that is not a great example, but I hope you get the idea. You have a brief moment to focus on the question, which gives you a moment to gain the words for the response. Hey, if it works will you tell me?

Hi. thanks ROBPIOLI for your request. well what you have said about the way i can gain more time to answer for a question during an interview or in my talk in general is so good. It does work. My prob was with vocabulary. To choose a perfect word to answer for someone well i need to improve my reading and i think this is one of the clues to face people directly. Well now thanks to god that i have the ability to talk without hesitation. thanks alot for your help.
