Many people always say that listening to spoken English is too hard for them. But if you don't understand what people are saying, how can you talk with them? It may be difficult, but learning by listening is necessary. It can be done.

As we know, different people have different pronunciations of the same word. Standard pronunciation is important for English speaking as well as for listening. In China, people from one area may not understand what people from another area are saying because of the different Chinese① dialects. Standard Chinese pronunciation can help people from different places understand each other easily.

It is the same with English. ②If your pronunciation is not standard, it is hard for other people to understand you.

If you want to learn how to listen to English, the following ways are helpful.

Get some good books with tapes.③ Do more exercises, from the simple to the difficult, step by step.

You can also watch English-language films sand TV programs, and listen to English-language radio. Try to listen every day, even if only for a few minutes. At first you may understand few words. Don't give up. Just listen.

Remember to read and speak English every day. It will help you a lot. Every day, spend an hour reading English. Finally you will notice that you're making progress.

Talk to English-speaking people as often as possible. They will speak more slowly with you, use simple words and use body language to help you understand them. Don't be afraid to talk to them. They won't mind if you have trouble because they may have more trouble making themselves understood in Chinese.
