Listening Comprehension

Listening skills play an important role in learning a new language. It helps you to enforce your memory of new words and phrases when you hear them during a conversation with someone or hear them on the radio. ,Moreover, solid listening skills also contribute to the comprehension of the conversations and understanding the intentions of other people.

When I conduct an English conversation with someone, all my focus is placed on hearing every single word. As a result, my brain doesn't have extra capacity for comprehending the sentence. What makes things worse is that, despite paying close attention to the words, I still have a problem telling what words were just said by people.

Chinese and English are so different that during a conversation, I can't completely summarize the key points of it immediately. When speaking Chinese, I feel my brain can automatically fill the missing parts I didn't quite catch. But when speaking English, if I missed something, it stays missing and blank. It seems that English sounds can't trigger the right switch in my brain. I need to find some the right trainings for ears.

Another well-written and thoughtful essay, my friend. There are basically no technical errors, syntax is outstanding. Your vocabulary is very intelligent and word choice is nearly indistinguishable from a well-educated native speaker's. Amazing.
