For Chinese students, English listening is becoming more and more important today. How can you get higher marks in a listening test? Here are some tips for you.

Before you start to listen, you need to relax. Don’t be stressed out (焦虑). Try to read the questions quickly. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage.

Listen carefully to the first sentence. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage.

When you’re listening, try to take some notes, such as:

★What happened?

★When, where and how?

★What does the speaker want to tell us?

In this way, you may understand the passage better.

Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don’t know, don’t spend too much time on them. Very often, you’ll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.

I used to be shy and my first day at the new school made me look stupid in front of the class. The teacher sent me to the blackboard to write my name and address. I knew my name and address, knew how to write them, knew how to spell them, but I was too nervous to write a single letter.

“Write your name,” the teacher said to me, but my mind went empty. I could not remember my name, not even the first letter. “Just forget about us and write your name and address,” said the teacher. I wanted to write but my hand refused to move. The boys and girls in the classroom began to whisper (低语). “Don’t you know your name?” asked the teacher. I looked at her and could not answer. The teacher stood up and walked to my side, smiling at me to give me confidence (自信). She put her hand softly on my shoulder and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Richard Wright,” I whispered. I spelled my name very quickly.

“Now, can you write?”

“Yes, madam.” Again, I turned to the blackboard. I wrote my name and address down quickly and correctly. “Good boy. You may go to your seat,” said the teacher.

Today I can still remember my teacher’s words and encouragement (鼓励). They meant a lot to me.
