Selected from English Extremely Short Sentences by Yang Fenglian Zhao Baobin As for speaking and listening, listening is more important than speaking. If you understand others, you can communicate with broken sentences together with gestures. If you fail to understand others, you can say nothing. Listening ability is improved only through listening. There is no short-cut.Here are some advice.I.Some Factors Are you often troubled by unsatisfactory understanding of spoken English? Before blaming yourself too soon, ask yourself whether incomplete understanding is the result of one or more of the following language independent factors. -tired? (after a heavy lunch) -nervous? (facing a stranger who is a native speaker of English) -not in the mood to receive any information, not attentive (after a hard days work) -a long way from where speaker is (on the other side of the road, on the telephone) -disturbed by background noises (too much traffic; a plane passing over your head) -unfamiliar with the topic (two strangers talking behind you in a bus; walking into a public lecture on Greek mythology or renowned South American writers) II.Language Specific Factors If none of the above factors seems to play a major role, then misunderstanding may well be the result of a combination of the following language specific factors: -accent of speaker(s) e.g. British, American, Australian, Singaporean... -intonation patterns e.g. Hes coming. vs. Hes coming ? -stress e.g. John will come, not George. Vs John WILL come, theres no doubt about it. -unfamiliar words e.g. rendezvous in place of appointment; to procrastinate instead of to delay. -idioms e.g. out of sight, out of mind; a bolt from the blue. -colloquialism .e.g. Hes gonna graduate this year. He aint heavy, hes my brother. -words used in informal style e.g. bobby for policeman or pal for friend -speed e.g.[icanttaldtoyounowcauseImlateforclassandwehaveatesttoday...] -sound pay attention to the liaisons(联读） and assimilation（同化） If -you feel that your command of English is inadequate to meet your academic needs, such as taking notes in lectures, expressing yourself in tutorials: -you are anxious that it might be a potential obstacle to your future professional pursuits, then -do something about it NOW before it is too late! III. What Can You Do on Your Own Beyond the Classroom Since English is easily accessible in the media, they make good, natural sources of input: 1.TV -choose your favourite programs and make regular appointments with them. Since familiarity with what is being talked about (i.e. context) facilitates understanding, a good practice would be to watch news broadcasts on the English channel after viewing the Chinese version. In so doing, you can pay maximum attention to how the news items are presented in English.
