Recently I entered one office of our company, seeing a co-worker(同事)head on his arms．She was really upset．We began talking about work issues and the topic quickly turned into her daughter, her mother, her husband and her personal life．I just sat and gave her my full attention．This went on for about 20 minutes．Finally, a smile came to her face and she said, “Why is it that I can always talk to you?” What I know is that I gave her my full attention and listened．
Listening is an important part of helping someone．It is different from hearing．Most people can hear but listening is a learned skill．You have to stop thinking about yourself and put your attention on the person talking．I believe if you really listen to one another, many situations could be changed．It means you give another person the chance to have him heard．To me, this is an important way to help others and it does make a difference．

The author listened to a co-worker talking about her life with full attention recently, because he believes that listening is an important way to help others and it makes a difference． Like the author, I can't agree more that listening is a very important way to help others．In my opinion, when people have something unhappy in mind, they will feel more comfortable if they can talk with others．So if we can listen to them, their feelings may become better． If I have a friend who faces problems in life and needs to talk with me, I will try to be a good listener for him．Because being a friend, I think I should do my best to help him out and listening is the best way at this time．After listening, I will comfort him, try to find out what problems he has and give him some advice to solve them． |

1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
