Here is some advice on listening. We hope it can help you.
●Relax yourself.
Before you start to listen to something, you need to relax. Don’t get nervous or excited. This will help you with your listening.
●Listen carefully to the first sentence.
The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage. For example, if at the very beginning, you hear “Many shops in many parts of China have decided to talk away all kinds of Japanese goods off their shelves but some people say it's not a good idea. Our reporter says...”you know you will hear a piece of news, not a children’s story, or a science report.
●Think when you’re listening .
When you’re listening, try to do some thinking. For example, you can think of the following questions: What happened when, where and how? What was the result and what does the speaker want to tell us? This way, you may understand the passage better.
●Listen for important facts.
It’s important for you to remember some important facts. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember how the scientists got their results.
●Don’t think about one or two words for too long.
You may hear some words that you don’t know, but don’t spend too much time on them. Very often, you’ll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.
