"A wise(聪明的)old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke, the more he heard. Why aren't we like that wise old bird?"-Edward H. Richards.
We all need to learn to listen well. Listening is a learned skill, the same as speaking in public. It just takes much longer to learn! Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day.
Listening shows others that they are important. It's a sign of respect(尊重). If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking, it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.
How do you practice listening? Here are some tips:
Put down whatever is in your hands. Are you in the middle of writing something? Put down the pen and start to listen. Are you reading something? Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again. Then put it down.
Face the person you are speaking with. Facing the person you are speaking with will help you listen more carefully. It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important.
Mind your body language. Standing towards the speaker will show interest. Looking around the room shows you have no interest. Looking that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important.
Listen completely. Do not start making comments(评论)after the first few words. Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind. Listen to the speaker carefully and try to understand what he is telling you.

For many learners of English, learning vocabulary means learning long lists of words by heart. Although this skill can help you remember words, how can you learn vocabulary so that you can use the words?
Plan your vocabulary learning by choosing what to remember. Think about how you choose words to learn. Do you try to learn all the new words you find in a text? Do you think of your listener when you choose vocabulary? Will the person listening to you be able to understand this word or phrase?
Here's an example.
We have some words for weather here. All the phrases mean the same thing: It's raining cats and dogs；it's pouring with rain；it's raining stair rods；there is torrential rain；the rain is terrible. Now which ones are the best for you to remember? Well,“It's raining cats and dogs” is a nice expression—it's very funny and so it is easy to remember—but many people wouldn't understand you if you said this. Even in England, people don't usually say this. If you're thinking of talking to different people—and not just people from England—perhaps it's better to say “torrential rain” or “The rain is terrible” because they are easier for other people to understand.
English has too many words for you to learn all of them, so you need to decide which words you want or need to learn. Think about the context(语境) or sentences with the words. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.
1.What's the passage mainly about?
A.Listening to music. B.Speaking English.
C.Learning vocabulary. D.Asking for advice.
2.How does the writer describe the idea in Paragraph 2?
A.By telling stories. B.By asking questions.
C.By giving examples. D.By listing new words.
3.How many ways of saying “It's raining very hard” can you find in the passage?
A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.
4.The following ones are the writer's suggestions EXCEPT ________.
A.trying to use the words
B.thinking about the context
C.choosing which words to learn
D.remembering all the words
