Listening skills

Improve and enhance your listening skills

If you were to visit http://www.gistxl.com/baomihua/

you can click the icon "Listen to whole article" and try your best to listen and read the whole article for the first round.

If you find it too difficult to listen and read the whole article, you can click on the icon on top of each paragraph and just listen to that paragraph. While listening, try to catch phrase by phrase, not word by word except some places where you failed even after several attempts.

After using these two methods, you will make big improvement on your listening skills.

Print the article and read on your own, repeat your reading by listening to the paragraphs or phrases until you finally confirm you have caught them.

(If you have problem printing the page using Web Browser's Print command, just try to use "Print Screen" (Prt Scr) button on your key board to capture the screen and paste individual screen pages on MsWord, then print it out in Doc format.)

While reading aloud, try your best to catch phrase by phrase, not word by word except some places where you failed even after several attempts.

It is the same for any listening exercise. Try your best to listen to any reading thoroughly for the first time. On your second attempt, read phrase by phrase or sentence by sentence according to your current listening level, you will notice and discover many interesting expressions you miss your first attempt.

Choose materials no longer than 5 minutes, listen to it thoroughly for the first time, the second time phrase by phrase or sentence by sentence according to your current listening level. You may underline or highlight difficult words/ phrases and listen to it again to have a double check.

Print the article and read on your own, repeat listening the areas until you finally confirm you have caught them. Try your best to catch phrase by phrase, not word by word except some places where you failed even after several attempts.
