“Native speakers never speak English in difficult terms!”

Who doesn't know that "native speakers never use difficult English words!"? Who hasn't wondered, "How can native speakers speak English so well with such simple words?" Our country's English proficiency has always been below the top.
Even if we take into account the common reasons for poor English, such as a "fear of mistakes" or a "virtuous attempt to master perfect English," why do I still become a complete mute when standing in front of a native speaker, despite studying English textbooks, attending English classes, and attending English academies for over a decade? Could it be that I just don't have the right expressions in my head when I try to make mistakes? Could it be that I always "open" without ever using "save"?
