Have you been struggling for several years or even more than ten years, reading various methods and listening to many theories, but you still can't understand English?
Please check the following two symptoms!
1) One article in the east and one in the west, VOA today, BBC tomorrow, I seem to have listened to a lot, but I just haven’t made any progress;
2) I read the subtitles while listening, and then I think I should understand it, but once I leave the subtitles, I am dumbfounded.
The so-called turning a deaf ear refers to these two kinds of hearing! A more professional explanation is that when you listen blindly everywhere, you cannot get comprehensible input, just like you can't learn Icelandic even if you read an Icelandic novel for a year; and when you read subtitles at the same time, familiar input (text) will suppress unfamiliar input (speech), and the learning effect is also unable to be achieved.
How should real listening be practiced?
It's also very simple. You can only listen to the sounds but not read the words. If you don't understand, listen again, still don't understand, listen again... I really don't understand, and I feel so uncomfortable that I almost strangle myself. Then I read the original text, and compared it with the original text, I can't hear the connected sounds, I'm not familiar with this explosion, I know this word, but the pronunciation is always wrong... This is called learning, and only in this way can we make progress. Use this method to listen to each sentence, then listen to each article, and it will be effective after 100 articles. If you listen to 10 articles every day, and you have listened to 300 articles in a month, it would be strange if there is no effect.
I dare to say this because I used this method to practice my TOEFL listening skills back then. I call it the pregnancy method, because whether men or women use this method to listen to short and long paragraphs back and forth, they can hear pregnancy reactions.
Scallop Listening is a listening training software that is effective, not tiring, and actually a bit fun.
The principle is still the same as above. We will break each article into sentences for you to listen to. If you understand, go to the next sentence. If you don’t understand, you want to read the original text directly? No!
Only after listening to it at least 3 times will you be allowed to read the original text! When the answer is revealed, you have to scratch it to express your gratitude.
Listening to it once is not complete. All sentences that you didn't understand before will be asked to listen again and again until you can understand them in one go.
If you are worried that you don’t really understand, it doesn’t matter. We also provide a test link for you to dictate the key words in the sentence.
Finally, you can also listen to the original text sentence by sentence and check for any gaps. All words can be checked instantly.
Also, your score and the number of times you re-listen to each article will be recorded, which will reflect your progress over time. You will find that listening carefully to a hundred articles in this way is better than listening here and there for several years.
We provide real test questions for Level 4 and Level 6 from easy to difficult, slow VOA, normal speed VOA/BBC, until the most powerful science 60 seconds
By training in this way for a month, 10-20 articles a day, you no longer need to worry about listening test skills. When your parents talk to you, do you need to choose the shortest, three short and one long, and the longest?
