The improvement of listening ability is a subtle process, "three points of practice, seven points of training." Therefore, in the process of preparing for CET-4 listening, the most important thing is to ensure that you listen to English every day. I suggest you set aside 40 minutes every day to listen to news, variety shows, audio books or movies, but you must concentrate on it and immerse yourself in the English environment.

2. Strengthen the practice of dictation.

Dictation is an effective way to improve listening. It is suggested to find some standard English listening materials and recommend the second or third volume of the English version of "New Concept". The listening part of this textbook has moderate speech speed, clear and accurate pronunciation and strict grammar, which is very suitable for improving listening. Please listen carefully and make sure that you can hear every word clearly and write it out. If you persist in this way for a while, the effect will be amazing. As an adjustment, you can also watch some original English movies or TV series. At first, you can have both Chinese and English subtitles, and watch them alternately until you understand them. Gradually, I only read English subtitles until there are no Chinese and English subtitles, I can hear a general meaning and write lines from film and television dramas.

3. Practice listening through real questions over the years.

The real question is still the most important practice material. I suggest you listen to the real questions over the years and listen carefully, at least for three consecutive rounds. Mark the places that are not clearly heard, uncertain and timely reflected, and carefully analyze them against the reference answers. Study the short conversations in listening and write them down carefully. If you can do it carefully and write it down silently, your listening level has reached a great level. If you have time, you can also recite listening materials, which is also good for cultivating language sense and oral memory in listening.

4. Strengthen the special practice of listening tutorial.

For most candidates, the listening part is a short board, and it is also the "culprit" that makes everyone unable to pass the test at one time. It is very necessary for candidates to take part in some special listening counseling to improve their listening level and pass CET-4 at one time.

In short, the improvement of listening ability is not a matter of one or two days. In daily practice, we should not only pay attention to the accumulation of quantity, but also pay attention to the application of methods.
