Hi qiusha!
You are very lucky to have a chance to study aboard, congradulations.
I think it is easy for you to improve your listening and speaking when you have a language environment.Did you choose homestay or live in school? Homestay will give you more chance to practice your oral English and understand their culture. You can find a part-time job or take part in some volunteer activities, you can make more firends there.
I hope my advice can help you.
Good luck.

it is better to be around people who also speak your language but when you are around english speaking people try to see and look around you to help in understanding what they are saying it will help if you can put pictures with the words you are hearing.for example if I have a cup of tea in my hand and my expression on my face is that i like the tea and you hear the word cup then you may be able to understand how to say it better.
