How to better or change my english accent? (give me some advices!) Because my native language is Chinese.
Or Do you know some website which it teaches you how to pronounce the English letter?

Watch BBC News 24 online, and listen to the voices there - and try repeating things. Listen to individual words, and work on those.
Good luck.

No, I don't know any websites for it... but let me tell you something funny. When I was at a swap meet, I asked this Chinese guy what the price of one T-shirt was. He said, "Eight
Dolla... for you sik Dolla, sik Dolla!" Until now my husband and I remember that and we imitate his accent whenever we have to say six. Sorry... I just wanted to share that with you.
I'm very sure there is someone out there who can teach you, but I think best is, if it's a person who can coach you one -on- one. I think it's a lot harder to lose an accent when you are older, but you can do it, if you work really hard on it- on a daily basis.
One way to practice is have all your TV channels on close captioning mode. That way you can see what is spoken in writing, too.
