If your requirements are not high, I suggest you download the English of college texts to your mobile phone and listen to them at any time. If you are familiar with it, you can pass Band 4.
First, how to practice listening?
English listening and speaking are inseparable. Input-process-output Pay attention to the listening experts around you casually, and their spoken English will not be inferior in nine cases out of ten. Use the method of reporting to maximize the training effect.
Practice with listening materials. The specific way is to listen first, and then come back to study the written materials and understand them all. Try to recite these written materials, and finally go back and listen. At this time, when you hear the memorized words, the feeling of smoothness is really beyond your experience. The next thing to do is to improve the listening difficulty and repeat the above steps. As long as we persist, one day we finally find that foreigners are nervous when they talk to us. Practicing intensive listening and extensive listening is inseparable from reading level. The reason is that adults don't learn to listen until they learn to read, so the brain's thinking program is to first turn the sounds they hear into words and then understand the meaning. In other words, whether you can understand it depends on whether you can understand it.
The perfect combination of intensive listening and extensive listening. Intensive listening means listening repeatedly in the right way, and finally understanding every word, collocation, usage, and even remembering every punctuation. (Three times of intensive listening to overcome the "false listening") Extensive listening means listening as widely as possible. Anytime, anywhere, English news, English movies and English songs do not need written materials, do not need to sit down and listen, or even understand. You can give yourself more opportunities to listen extensively and feel more English in an all-English environment. When you don't understand, you are also making progress. The improvement of listening comprehension is just around the corner. We must give priority to intensive listening, supplemented by extensive listening exercises. Quality, not quantity!
Second, the practice of English listening methods
1. Learn to take notes while listening, not dictation, but write down key information, such as keywords and time, for reference.
2. When training listening, pay attention to the characters (who), events (what), time (when), place (where), reason (why), way (how), degree (how long, how fast, how much) and quantity (how much) involved in the text.
3. Another important function of language is its communicative function. It can understand the central idea, the speaker's intention or details, understand the communicative function of language, be good at linking language with context, and understand the deep meaning conveyed by literal surface, such as requests, orders and suggestions. Familiarity with sentence patterns helps to improve the ability to distinguish the speaker's intention and understand the extra-linguistic meaning of sentences. Let us ...
No matter what material you listen to, your attention must be focused on the understanding of the whole content. Never stop at individual words or simple sentences, give up immediately if you can't hear clearly, don't force yourself to hear every word clearly, and focus on listening to key words, that is, real words.
5. Language listening is active decoding rather than passive perception, active cognitive construction rather than simple acoustic facts. Practice dictation. When listening to the recording, you should consciously write down the key information, on the one hand, train the accuracy of information reception; On the other hand, cultivate the ability of short-term memory and correct spelling. Practicing dictation can also force you to concentrate and think positively.
6. Pay attention to commonly used words, phrases and sentence structures and turn them into "conditional emission".
7. Try to explore the English thinking mode and foreign cultural background behind the language. After all, language is the carrier of culture and thinking, so you should master the logical thinking order of English.
