Daily activity can improve your English

Active Listening   Listening is one of the most important skills you can have. Tell about active listening, our beloved lecturer tell to us if we want to improve our skill listening. We have to listen the audio before we going to sleep. I think that's good idea for me. Talking About Active Listening The way to improve your listening skills is to practice "active listening." This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, the complete message being communicated. In order to do this you must pay attention to the other person very carefully. You cannot allow yourself to become distracted by whatever else may be going on around you, or by forming counter arguments while the other person is still speaking. Nor can you allow yourself to get bored, and lose focus on what the other person is saying.

Now I just want to share you about listening strategies to improve your listening. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by your limited understanding. Here are a few courses of action you can take :  accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand , even if you continue to have trouble underatanding for a while. Do not translate into your native language Listen for the gist (or general idea) of the conversation. Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas. First, Translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Second, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, you can usually understand what the speaker had said.
