Hi, Daming,
You ask me about how to improve(提高) your English listening. Here are some advice(建议). I hope they can help you.
Relax(放松) yourself.
Before you start listening to something, don't get excited or nervous(紧张的).You need to relax.This will help you with your listening.
Listen carefully to the first sentence.
The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage.For example,if,at the beginning,you hear “Our reporter says…”,you know you will hear a piece of news,not a children's story, or a science report.
Think when you're listening.
When you're listening, try to do some thinking.For example, you can think of the following questions: When, where and how? What does the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand the passage better.
Listen to important facts.
It's important for you to remember some important facts. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings, and how the scientists get their results. This is also very helpful to your listening.
Yours,
Tom
