How to Improve Your English Listening Skills

Listening is a fundamental skill in learning a new language, including English. It is important to develop good listening skills as it helps in understanding spoken English, improving pronunciation, and expanding vocabulary. Here are some tips to improve your English listening skills:

1. Start with Easy Listening Materials: Begin by listening to simple and easy materials such as children's stories, podcasts for beginners, or English songs with clear lyrics. This will help you get familiar with the language and build confidence in understanding the words.

2. Listen to Different Accents: English is spoken with various accents around the world. Expose yourself to different accents by listening to podcasts, news, or movies from different English-speaking countries. This will help you understand different pronunciations and improve your listening comprehension skills.

3. Focus on Listening for Keywords: When listening to conversations or audio materials, focus on identifying keywords or important information. This will help you grasp the main idea or topic of the conversation and improve your overall understanding.

4. Take Advantage of Technology: Utilize technology to improve your listening skills. There are numerous apps and websites available that provide listening exercises and interactive audio materials. Make use of these resources to practice and enhance your listening abilities.

5. Practice Active Listening: Active listening involves being fully engaged in the listening process. Pay attention to the speaker's tone, intonation, and body language. Try to understand the context of the conversation and make connections to what you already know. This will help you improve your comprehension skills and develop a better understanding of the language.

6. Listen to English Every Day: Consistency is key when it comes to improving your listening skills. Make it a habit to listen to English every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. This regular exposure will enhance your listening abilities over time.

7. Watch Movies and TV Shows with Subtitles: Watching movies or TV shows in English with subtitles can be a great way to improve your listening skills. Start with subtitles in your native language and gradually switch to English subtitles as you become more comfortable.

Remember, improving your English listening skills takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and keep challenging yourself to listen to a variety of materials. With consistent effort, you will see significant progress in your ability to understand spoken English.

Tips for Effective English Listening Practice

Listening is a crucial skill in language learning, especially when it comes to English. However, many learners find it challenging to improve their listening abilities. Here are some tips to help you practice English listening effectively:

1. Set Specific Goals: Determine what you want to achieve with your listening practice. Whether it's understanding conversations, improving your vocabulary, or catching specific information, setting clear goals will help you stay focused and motivated.

2. Choose Interesting Topics: Find listening materials on topics that you enjoy or are interested in. This will make the practice more enjoyable and engaging, increasing your motivation to listen and understand.

3. Start with Short Listening Exercises: Begin with short listening exercises, such as listening to dialogues or short passages. These exercises are less overwhelming and allow you to focus on specific language patterns or vocabulary.

4. Use Authentic Materials: Authentic materials, such as podcasts, news articles, or TED Talks, provide a real-life context and expose you to different accents and speaking styles. They also offer a wide range of vocabulary and topics for practice.

5. Take Notes: While listening, take notes of important keywords, phrases, or ideas. This helps improve your listening comprehension and allows you to review and reinforce what you have learned.

6. Practice Listening for Different Purposes: Vary your listening practice by focusing on different purposes, such as listening for specific information, understanding the main idea, or identifying the speaker's opinion. This will enhance your overall listening skills and make you more adaptable in different situations.

7. Seek Feedback: Whenever possible, practice listening with a native or fluent English speaker. Ask them to provide feedback on your pronunciation, comprehension, and overall listening skills. Their guidance will help you identify areas for improvement and provide valuable insights.

8. Use Audio-Based Language Learning Apps: There are several language learning apps available that offer audio-based exercises and activities. These apps provide a structured way to practice listening skills and often include interactive features for better engagement.

9. Practice Listening in Different Environments: Train yourself to listen in various environments, such as noisy cafes, crowded places, or while doing other tasks. This will help you focus on the audio and improve your ability to understand spoken English in different situations.

10. Be Consistent: Consistency is key in improving any skill, including listening. Set aside dedicated time each day for listening practice and make it a part of your language learning routine.

Remember, effective English listening practice requires patience, dedication, and regular practice. By implementing these tips and incorporating listening exercises into your daily routine, you will gradually enhance your listening skills and become a more confident English listener.

3. I only get three-eighths of the total.

4. It's only a fraction of the cost, about a sixteenth.

5. Divide nine by two and you get four point five.

6. You only get two point four six per cent.

1. I have to get a new pair of Jeans. Is there anywhere ...? Do you know a, a good shop where I can get a pair?

2. Look, er, I want something interesting. All I've eaten since I've arrived here is junk food. I want some good local food. Where should I go and what shall I ask for?

3. The car's giving problems again. I had it serviced last week but it's as bad as it was before. I don't know what to do about it.

4. Ooh, yes, I need your advice. The problem is that I have to go to this very formal dinner party next week and I haven't got a dinner suit here. I really don't want to buy one. What do you suggest?

5. Ever since I've been here I had this stomach problem, you know. I mean, it's not serious. Well, I don't think it is. I mean, you often get these things when you travel. Must be the different water or something. But it rea1ly is a nuisance and it seems to be getting worse ...

Man: Telegram, miss.

Jean: Oh, thanks.

Jean: I wonder who it's from. Oh, it's for Helen. Helen, there's a telegram for you.

Helen: For me? Oh, Jean, will you open it? I hate opening telegrams.

Jean: Do you? Why?

Helen: Well, it's just that I think a telegram must mean bad news.

Jean: I'm just the opposite. I love opening telegrams because I'm sure they must mean something exciting.

Jean: Helen, you'd better sit down. You aren't going to believe this. It says, 'Congratulations, Nurse of the Year. Letter follows.'

Helen: It can't be true.

Jean: Here. You read it.

Hello. This is Sophie Peter's ringing from the Brook Organization. Um, we got your job application and I'm ringing just to arrange an interview with you. How about Monday morning at, er, 11:30? Would that be all right? That's Monday morning of the 10th of August. Um, if you can't make that time, could you please give us a ring? The interview will be with myself and Brian Shaw, so we, um, we look forward to seeing you then. Bye-bye.

"Henry!"

"Yes, dear?"

"I'm going up to bed now. Don't forget to do your little jobs."

"No, dear."

Henry turned off the television and went into the kitchen. He fed the cat, washed up several dishes, dried them and put them away. Then he put the cat out, locked all the doors and turned out all the lights. When he got to the bedroom, his wife was sitting up in bed reading a book and eating chocolates.

"Well dear, have you done all your little jobs?"

"I think so, my love."

"Have you fed the cat?"

"Yes, dear."

"Have you put him out?"

"Yes, dear."

"Have you washed up the dishes?"

"Yes, dear."

"Have you put them all away?"

"Yes, dear."

"Have you tidied the kitchen?"

"Yes, dear."

"Have you turned out all the lights?"

"Yes, dear."

"Have you locked the front door?"

"Yes, dear."

"Then you can come to bed."

"Thank you, dear."

After a little while they heard a gate banging downstairs.

"Henry."

"Yes, dear."

"I'm afraid you've forgotten to shut the garden gate."

"Oh dear! ..."

—Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Lake Late Talk Show, with your host, Dickie Reeves. (applause)

—Nice to be with you again, folks. And among the line of interesting guests I'll show you tonight is the lady you've all been reading and hearing about recently. She is beautiful. She is clever. And she is brave. She is the lady who makes friends with monkeys. She is with us tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, the apewoman herself, Josephin Carter. (applause) Hello, Josephin, or can I call you Joe?

—Please do.

—The first question that I know everybody has been dying to ask you is, how long have you been living with monkeys?

—Apes actually. Well, I've been studying apes for quite a long time, ever since I was at university. But I've only been actually living with them for five years.

—Five years in the African jungle, with only monkeys to talk to.

—Apes actually.

—Oh, with only apes to talk to. That's fantastic! And I know you're going back to your monkey colony ...

—Ape colony actually.

—... to finish your work.

—Oh, yes. I haven't finished it yet. Although I have been recording their behavior and watching their movements very closely, I still haven't finished my work. I've also been training my husband to work with me.

—Your husband?

—Yes. He's come with me tonight. Let me introduce you to Tarsan!

—Hi, everybody.

People think that all solicitors are rich and prosperous. In any town there are, of course, rich and prosperous solicitors, but there are also solicitors like me. I am neither rich nor prosperous. I have an office over a fish and chip shop, for which I pay an exorbitant rent, and two rather inefficient secretaries.

I suppose it is because my premises are in the less fashionable part of the town, but my clients always seem to have enormous problems and miserable incomes. Mr. Pollard was exactly that sort of client. He was a small, untidy little man, with a large head and round, old-fashioned spectacles.

"I have a problem," he began nervously, "I bought this house, you see. I got a mortgage from the building society, but then I lost my job, so I got behind with the payments." He gave me the details. It appeared that he owed eleven payments of fifty pounds, and had no job and no money. Not surprisingly the building society had written to say they intended to take possession of the house; sell it, and thus get back their mon

ey.

"What would happen if they sold it for less than I paid?" he asked. "Would I get back any money?"

"Probably not," I replied.

"Would you mind telephoning the building society?" he pleaded, "and see if they could possibly give me a little more time?"

"If you're not earning any money, how will more time help?" I asked. He looked at me hopelessly.

In the end the house was sold. The building society debt was paid off and Mr. Pollard got sixty pounds.

Everybody agrees I'm just ordinary. My face is ordinary, my voice is ordinary, my clothes are ordinary. Everything about me is ordinary. 'What's Frank like?' they say. 'Frank? Oh—you know, ordinary.' they say. Now look at that man two rows in front. He's not ordinary. In fact I can't see anybody apart from me who is. Even this fellow next to me. Quite ordinary on the whole, I suppose. But there's something a bit ... something a bit odd about his mouth. Mustn't catch his eye. Might start a conversation. Don't want that. Interesting that he was just in front of me in the queue.

They looked in his bag, they looked in his pockets—made him take his shoes off even. Mm—they've nearly finished with the food—though she didn't take my glass when she collected my tray. Ah—she's pressed her button again. Probably wants another gin and tonic. Had four already. Or is it five? Not bad, though. At least not in this light. Good—some of them are getting their blankets down now. I reckon that in about half an hour it'll all be quiet. And then ... Of course they looked in my briefcase too. Didn't look here, though, did they? Oh, no. Hah! Though they think otherwise, I know very well who those two in the back row are. Noticed them when I went to the toilet. But they won't shoot. Not as long as I have this in my hand, they won't. And it's so small. Marvellous what they can do these days. Just about now, if I were sitting in funny mouth's seat and not by the aisle—just about now, I could probably look down and see the mountains gleaming in the moonlight. I like that. Mm. Well, now I must go over my speech again. Mustn't forget what my demands are, must I?

Well, I think that this problem of teenagers getting into trouble with the law is mainly caused by unemployment. You see, because of the high level of unemployment, so many teenagers nowadays leave school and find that they have no chance of getting a job, and this obviously makes them feel bored and frustrated. And as a result of this, they're much more likely to get drunk and so on. Another thing of course is that you get groups of unemployed teenagers wandering around the streets with nothing to do, which can easily lead to trouble of one sort or another.

Robert Gordon is phoning to book a hotel room in Paris.

Receptionist: 45-21-64. Allo?

Robert: Is that the Saint-Martine Hotel?

Receptionist: Oui. Yes, it is. Can I help you?

Robert: Have you got a double room for the night of 23rd July?

Receptionist: One moment please. I'll just have a look. Yes, we have got a double room on that date.

Robert: Has it got a double bed or two singles?

Receptionist: Two singles, monsieur.

Robert: And is that with or without bath?

Receptionist: It's a room with shower and toilet, monsieur.

Robert: That sounds fine. Is there a TV?

Receptionist: Could you repeat that, please?

Robert: Is there a color television in the room?

Receptionist: Yes, but of course. And a video, if you choose.

Robert: How much will it be for one night?

Receptionist: About four hundred francs.

Robert: And what does that include?

Receptionist: It includes morning newspaper, continental breakfast and service.

Robert: Where is the nearest metro?

Receptionist: Opera, monsieur. It's only five minutes from here.

Robert: And is there an extra charge for children?

Receptionist: If the child is under sixteen and we put an extra bed in your room, the charge is seventy-five francs. Do you want the room?

Robert: Yes, for one night—23rd July.

Receptionist: Oui, monsieur. May I have your name, please?

Robert: Actually, it's for my wife and two daughters—Mrs. Jean Gordon, Linda and Maggie.

Receptionist: Yes, monsieur. So you need an extra bed. And what time will they be arriving on July 23rd ...

Interviewer: Now you've been a veterinary doctor for some thirty years, what was it that made you become a vet in the first place?

Vet: Well, I studied as an ordinary doctor in the beginning, but I slowly realized that I liked animals very much. I almost prefer animals to people. So I took an extra course in animal medicine. It's as simple as that really.

Interviewer: And you still enjoy working with animals?

Vet: Oh, yes, very much so. In fact, more than ever now. I've got to know animals much better, you see, and I get on better with them in every way. Their owners sometimes get on my nerves, though.

Interviewer: Oh ... why is that?

Vet: Well, some people know very little about animals and keep them in the wrong conditions.

Interviewer: What sort of conditions?

Vet: Oh, you know, some people buy a large dog and then try to keep it in a small flat; they don't take it out enough to give it proper exercise. Other people have a cat and try to keep it in the house all day, but a cat needs to get out and be free to come and go as it pleases. A lot of people don't feed their animals properly. It's very common to give pets too much food which is very bad for them, especially if they're not getting enough exercise. Or not to feed them regularly, which is equally bad. An animal is a responsibility which is something many people don't seem to realize.

Interviewer: You mean people keep pets for the wrong reasons?

Vet: Yes, some people want a pet because they're lonely, or simply for decoration, or just to show how rich they are.

Interviewer: And just how do you deal with these people?

Vet: Well, I try to tell them what the animal needs, what is the right sort of food, the proper exercise. I try to teach them that animals are not toys and if they're to be healthy, they have to be happy.

Interviewer: Yes, I suppose you're right. In your thirty years as a vet you must have come across some interesting cases?

Vet: Oh yes, there are lots of interesting cases. I was once called to a lioness who was giving birth and having difficulty. Now that was really interesting.

Well, now, ladies and gentlemen, that was our last item, and all that remains for me to do is to thank our performers sincerely on behalf of us all for the pleasure they have given us this evening. And of course I must express thanks to those who've worked behind the scenes. And especially our producer. But most of all I want to say thank you to all of you for coming here this evening and supporting this event, especially in such weather. I think perhaps I should take this opportunity to renew my sincere apologies to those sitting in the back rows. We've made temporary repairs to the roof, but unfortunately the rain tonight was unexpectedly heavy, and we're grateful to you for your understanding and cheerful good humor. I may say that we had hoped that temporary repairs would suffice. But we were recently informed by our surveyor that the whole roof will have to be replaced: which is of course a severe blow when you think it's only five years since we replaced the roof of the church itself. And so we shall be having another concert soon, I hope.

Manager: Good morning, madam. And what can we do for you?

Woman: What can you do for me?

Manager: Yes, madam, what can we do for you?

Woman: You've already done it, thank you very much. And I want something done about what you've done for me.

Manager: Is something the matter, madam?

Woman: I'll say there is, I want to see the manager.

Manager: I'm the manager, madam. Now ... now what seems to be the trouble?

Woman: Look at my face!

Manager: Your face? Ah yes. Oh dear. Well, never mind. What's wrong with your face? What exactly am I supposed to be looking at?

Woman: My lines, my Wrinkles.

Manager: Well, we can soon put that right, Madam. You need a bottle of our New Generation Wrinkle Cream. With this wonderful new cream your lines and wrinkles just ...

Woman: Shut up!

Manager: ... just disap ... I beg your pardon?

Woman: I said shut up! I was silly enough to listen to you before. I'll listen to no more of it.

Manager: You say you've been here before, madam. I'm afraid I don't recognize you.

Woman: Of course you don't recognize me! Last time I came in here I was a very attractive middle-aged woman. Now I look old enough to be even your grandmother.

Manager: Well, yes ... er ... some of us do age quicker than others.

Woman: It's not a question of age, my man, it's a question of your cream. I used it for two small lines under my eyes and I woke up next morning looking like Lady Frankenstein. Your advertisement says 'Lose ten years overnight. For only five pounds you can look young and attractive again. Tried by thousands. Money back guarantee.' Well, I want more than my money back. I want you to pay for me to have plastic surgery.

Manager: But, madam, there must be some mistake.

Woman: I'll say there's been a mistake. My mistake was believing your advert and buying your silly cream. 'It can do the same for you, too,' it said. Well, it's certainly done something for me, but now what it did for the lady in the picture.

Manager: But our product is tested and approved by doctors. It was thoroughly tested on thousands of volunteers by experts before it was allowed to be sold on the market. This is the first complaint we've had.

Woman: I told you, I want you to pay for a face lift or I'm taking you to court! So there!

Manager: Er, do you happen to have a ... a recent photograph, madam?

Woman: What ... whatever do you want with a photograph? You can see the way I look.

Manager: I mean a photograph of you just before you used the cream.

Woman: Do you think I go to the photographers everyday? (Pause) Look, Just give me the five pounds, will you?

Manager: Do you have your receipt with you, madam?

Woman: Er ... just a minute ... let me have a look. (Rummages in bag) Er ... no. No, I seem to have lost it?

Manager: Then there's nothing I can do, madam. Sorry.

Woman: (furious) I'll take you to court. I'll take you to court.

Manager: You can do as you please, madam. Good morning.

—Right, what do you want me to get then?

—Right, er ... well, go to the green grocer's first.

—Yeah, the green grocer's. (Right.) OK.

—Right, let me see, potatoes, but new potatoes, not mottled ones. I mean they're really not very good any more. Urm, three pounds ...

—Hang on. I'm trying to write this down. New potatoes.

—Right.

—... three pounds.

—Three pounds. Yes.

—Spring onions, one bunch.

—One bunch of spring onions.

—Yeah.

—OK.

—And ... a pound of bananas.

—And a pound of bananas. Right.

—And then, could you go to the supermarket as well?

—Yes, yes.

—Mm, let me see. A packet of sugar cubes.
