五、任务型阅读。
Hi, Daming,
You ask me about how to make your English listening better. Here is some advice. I hope it can help you.
◆Relax(放松) yourself.
Before you start listening to something, don't get excited or nervous(紧张的). You need to relax. 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 beginning, you hear "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:When, where and how? What does the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand(理解) the passage better.
◆Listen to important facts.
Remembering some facts is important to you. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings, and how the scientists get their results. This is also very helpful to your listening.
Yours,
Tom
