How to improve listening English effectivetly Nowsday, I head about an opinion about how to improve listening English on a website called zhihu(a chinese website which allow people to ask and answer question ) , a net friend presented a question "how to improve my listening English quickly ,why i always can't follow speaker's speed" ,one of those answers fascinated me ,the key point of this answer is to ESTABLISH A ENGLISH THINKING . The writer said an English thinking means that you have to think and speak like a native speaker . For example ,when we pratice our listening English ,we often fail to follow the speaker's speed,why???. Because we always attempt to translate the English into Chinese first, then we start to comprehend the meaning of what the he said , but when we understand the meaning , the speaker have done talking .so that is the reason we need to set up an English thinking ,don not translate the sentence , comprehend the meaning of the sentence by English directly. In order to achieve it ,we have to change the way we learn new English words, don't recite chinese meaning, associate a picture which can describe the meaning. for instance , when we learn "apple", we better not to recite its chinese "苹果“，we better to associate a picture that a falling red fruit is hitting Newton's head . in this way ,we are able to think like a native English speaker. well, that is the main idea of "establish an English thinking ", i think is very reasonable . but every time i take the English listening test confidently ,i feel it is slowly driving me mad at last . probably i need more practise.
