the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ _1
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all
learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _ 2
The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from
RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻)by limited
understanding. __ 3__
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
● __4___ Don't concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In
the beginning, when I didn't understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually
resulted in confusion. 5 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker.
Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn't
pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A.But you can't follow a native English speaker at all!
B.What should you do?
C.But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
D.However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
E.So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F.Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G.Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
