How do you formulate sentences when speaking?

I'm not really sure how to word this, my native language is both English and Chinese and the way they formulate sentences is quite similar like:

I like my water bottle -> 我喜欢我的水壶

Its quite direct so I can kinda direct translate from one language to another when speaking. But for Japanese if i were to direct translate it this is what is get:

私好き私の水筒です -> I like this water bottle.

While the correct form is this

I like my water bottle -> 私は水筒が好きです

Do yall have any tips on how I can practice formulating these sentences? Especially in speaking
