Is it difficult to listen to English? What skills should I master?

How to improve poor English listening? First, how to improve poor English listening? First, check your real English level, that is, the next issue of special English, and then use abobo software to dictate sentence by sentence. Dictation won't take long. Finally, by comparing the reference texts, you will know your true level. If you can't dictate a lot, you need to dictate a little bit. This process is estimated to last for half a year, if it lasts for 2 hours every day.

Secondly, if you can basically understand slow English, you can start the listening stage of standard English, because standard English is fast and has a large vocabulary, which is difficult to adapt to at first. You should listen to the whole recording first and grasp the main idea first. Generally, it is new news, or new progress that repeats important news. If you know the general news content, you need to dig word for word, so that you can understand all the details. This process is very boring, and there are too many things to prepare, such as the basic background knowledge of country name, capital name, geographical knowledge, position and political relationship.

Third, in the transitional stage, you will insist on dictation every day and know more and more words. Of course, you will meet many new words. I think in this process, guessing words and finally listening to a more difficult word will make you confident, and there is no other way to be familiar with it. This process is a process of listening to the main idea, word for word, and slowly it will become too much. After listening to a long passage, I didn't find any words I didn't understand. Of course, it is normal for many professional words not to be understood, that is, the problem of professional knowledge. Don't be too entangled.

Fourth, the endless expansion of words. You can watch foreign media such as cnn abc and check unfamiliar words and pronunciations.

Methods of practicing listening. Learn phonetic symbols.

Phonetic symbols are the basis of learning English. If you don't know phonetic symbols, you can't spell words or read words, let alone understand and write them down. You must master 48 phonetic symbols and know the pronunciation habits of some words.

Second, recite words.

Words are the most basic things that make up sentences and paragraphs. It is impossible to learn words without memorizing them and knowing them. If you want to practice listening well, you need to master all the words in the syllabus at the learning stage and do "listening, speaking, reading and writing" four times.

Third, read English aloud.

English is a language, which requires us to speak and practice constantly. We shouldn't read silently like reading a newspaper. We can't see anything by reading. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Reading it can help others correct your pronunciation. I suggest you read English for 20-30 minutes every morning, and you will be full of energy all day.

Fourth, recite sentences and paragraphs.

English learning pays attention to language sense. In our usual study, many students with good English foundation can't tell why they choose an option, but they can choose the right option by feeling. This is what we call a sense of language. You can recite some articles about new concepts. Memorize more, and you will naturally feel English.

Fifth, listen and practice more.

The four points mentioned above are laying the foundation for English listening. When you master all the phonetic symbols, remember all the words in the syllabus, accumulate a lot of sentences and texts, and add some listening exercises, English listening will definitely be greatly improved.

Method 2 of practicing listening (1) Prepare a dictation book, listen to the words recorded in the lecture book, and then write them down.

The advantage of doing this is to be familiar with the standard pronunciation of words, instead of holding a book and copying it 10 times like the traditional way of memorizing words, so that once the pronunciation is wrong, you will not be able to react when you hear the correct pronunciation in the exam.

(2) Take out the previously recorded listening notes and arrange the common expressions of words and phrases according to the scene.

For example, when we encounter a scene about the weather, let's write the following words: weather report/forecast; Rain/windy/sunny/snowy (adjective of weather); It is raining cats and dogs. It's raining cats and dogs. Raincoat/umbrella; Sunglasses/sunscreen or something. In this way, as long as you encounter relevant scenes in the exam, you will definitely encounter these words. Of course, the scene also includes greeting, introduction, farewell, dating, asking for directions, shopping, making a phone call, eating, asking for the time or date, seeing a doctor, talking about the weather, talking about people, talking about school life and so on.

(3) Pay attention to current events, read more English newspapers or use the Internet to increase your language knowledge.

For example, the Olympic Games, the upcoming World Expo and so on, we should accumulate more special nouns and phrases. As long as you accumulate more than others at ordinary times, you will definitely see the harvest when you take the exam!

Methods of practicing listening Three listening methods

If you want to improve your listening in a short time, you must have methods and plans. Otherwise, listening to this and that will have no effect in the end. For students who have just started practicing, instead of listening to long articles first, they should start with words to improve their recognition of listening, and then listen to sentences and articles, which is more acceptable.

Listening time

Generally, in the morning, the brain is awake and people's memory is relatively good, so I choose to listen to English in the morning, so I won't feel relaxed and the overall effect is better.

Listening platform

Not all platforms for displaying English are good platforms. As a student, you must choose an English listening platform that matches your grade to practice listening, so it is easy to adapt to the whole listening effect and you can't understand it.

Listening software

Choose some good listening software and listen more in your spare time, so that you can gradually adapt to the whole pronunciation of English listening and make your language feel better and better.

Auditory learning

Of course, the practice of English listening should be uninterrupted, and we must insist on listening every day, so that our listening comprehension can be improved quickly. If you want to lose points in the exam, this is the best thing you should do.
