讓外國人能告訴你練習的聽力技巧
在你英語各方面都得到很大進步的時候，英語聽力仍然是最大的問題！聽力的提高絕非一日之功，讓我們看看外國人能告訴你哪些聽力技巧吧！
·Listen to something you enjoy
聽你感興趣的材料
Probably the greatest advantage about using the Internet to improve your listening skills is that you can choose what you would like to listen to and how many and times you would like to listen to it. By listening to something you enjoy, you are also likely to know a lot more of the vocabulary required!
利用網絡提高你的聽力技巧的好處是你可以選擇聽你喜歡的材料，可以選擇聽多少，聽多少次，通過聽你感興趣的材料，你也一樣可以學到很多必需的單詞。
·Listen for Keywords
學會聽關鍵詞
Use keywords (noun=principal words) or keyphrases to help you understand the general ideas. If you understand "New York", "business trip", "last year" you can assume (verb=to take for granted, suppose) that the person is speaking about a business trip to New York last year. This may seem obvious to you, but remember that understanding the main idea will help you to understand the detail as the person continues to speak.
關鍵詞或者關鍵的詞組能夠幫助理解文章大意。舉個例子來說，如果你聽到New York,business trip,last year這樣的詞，你可以假設說話人要表達的是“去年到紐約的出差旅行”。這個方法對你來說很容易，但是要記住：理解文章大意會幫助你理解接下來將要提到的一些細節。
·Listen for Context
注意上下文關係及語境
Let's imagine that your English speaking friend says "...I bought this great tuner at JR's. It was really cheap and now I can finally listen to National Public Radio broadcasts." You don't understand what a tuner is. If you focus on the word tuneryou might become frustrated. However, if you think in context (noun=the situation explained during the conversation) you probably will understand. For example; bought is the past of buy, listen is no problem and radio is obvious. Now you understand: He bought something - the tuner- to listen to the radio. A tuner must be a kind of radio! This is a simple example but it demonstrates what you need to focus on: Not the word that you don't understand, but the words you do understand.
假設你的一個朋友說："...I bought this great tunerat JR's. It was really cheap and now I can finally listen to National Public Radio broadcasts."你可能會困惑什麼是turner。如果你把精力集中在思考這個詞上，你就會覺得很失敗。如果你考慮上下文，你也許就會想到，這個tuner可能是一種收音機。
這是一個很簡單的例子。但它說明了很重要的一點： 集中你的精力在你聽懂的詞上，而不是爲某個聽不懂的詞困惑浪費時間。
