Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem!
你是否有如此的感觉:你的英语进步挺快,语法也学会了,阅读难不倒,交流交谈也流畅,但,就是听力还成问题!
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, now you know you are not alone....! OK. The most important thing is to listen, and that means as often as possible. The next step is to find listening resources. This is where the Internet really comes in handy as a tool for English students.
第一,请记住,不仅仅是你有这种感觉。听力理解对于学习英语的人来讲,可能是最具挑战性的了。目前了解了吧,不仅仅是你这方面有困难。(要想解决问题,)非常重要的是去听,尽量多地去听。下面,就是去找听力材料了。在这一点,网络作为一种工具,为同学们带来了很大的便捷。
Strategies
once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. What should you do?
当你周期性地坚持听一些材料时,你可能还会因不可以完全听懂而感到烦恼。
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
以下是我给我的学生们的一些建议:
Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
Keep cool when you do not understand - even if you continue to not understand for a long time.
Do not translate into your native language .
Listen for the gist of the conversation. Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.
你要了解,你并非为了完全听懂(才去听)。
当遇见听不懂的方—即使是非常长一段都没听懂,也不要气馁。
不要边听边在脑子里做翻译。
力求听懂对话的大意,不必拘泥细节。当然,在把握大意的基础上,才可抠细节。
