Get some tapes and practice. Watch movies in English and speak along.

If you speak as well as you write then you should be able to have language exchanges. There are lots of free online sites that set up exchanges(google: language exchange chinese english), I would start there - if your too shy about meeting in person you could do an exchange through email or skype. If you do meet in person, make sure to meet in a public place such as a coffee shop, also let them know not to be shy about correcting your errors; bring a notebook to write down your common mistakes. In exchange you could help the other person with writing chinese characters or pronunciation. Also news clips tend to be in a more or less generic English and short, the nytimes.com has some good clips online: notice words and sounds you have a hard time with and repeat them with the presenter.
