當人們在你周圍講英語時，感覺到被丟在暗處嗎？不要擔心﹗聽力或許是最難掌握的技能之一，但它不是不能做到！使用這5種練習當中的訣竅會讓你的聽力調整過來﹗

了解你的極限

盡可能讓自己聽很多的英語，但是要將時間縮短。你的大腦不是一台機器﹗如果你感到很困惑並且不能理解，休息一下過些時候再試一次。請記住，達到好的聽力是需要花費許多時間練習和耐心。

有選擇性的

逐字翻譯每個你聽到的單字將會讓你的大腦關掉其餘的對話，就會讓你的聽力落後。有選擇性的，下一次當你聽到用英語說話時，只需要抓一些關鍵字或片語。把它們寫下來隨後再翻譯。你將會發現你的聽力變得較敏銳及你的單字將會增加不少。

抓一些聲音的句形

每次都有注意到外籍人士如何強調某一些重音嗎？千真萬確！如果你仔細一聽，你將會注意到一個句形。內容單詞 (名詞，大多數動詞和形容詞)通常會拿來強調，而功能單詞 (介系詞，代名詞等等)就不會拿來強調。抓一些用來強調的字，你將會理解對話或談話當中的主要想法了。

觀看DVD

每人都喜歡看電影。因此，何不利用它們來訓練你的聽力呢？很容易的﹗就是藉由看一片你最喜愛的英語DVD。首先，將字幕調到你的國家語言，因此你能理解它。然後再看一次。這次將字幕調成英語，並且集中注意看你能了解英語多少。這個時候，你應該更了解對話內容和劇情。現在，再看一次，不看所有的字幕，並且只專注在聽力上。

Feel left in the dark when people speak English around you? Don't worry! Listening may be one of the most difficult skills to master, but it is not impossible. Use these five practical tips to give your listening skills a tune-up!

Know your limits

Listen to as much English as possible, but only for short periods at a time. Your brain is not a machine! If you feel like you're getting frustrated and can't understand, take a break and try again later. Remember, developing good listening skills takes a lot of time, practice, and patience.

Be selective

Translating every new word you hear will cause your brain to tune out the rest of the conversation, leaving you behind. Be selective. The next time you're listening to an English speaker, pick out key words or phrases. Write them down and translate them later. You will find that your listening skills will sharpen and your vocabulary will increase.

Pick up sound patterns

Ever notice how native English speakers only stress certain words? It's true! If you listen carefully, you'll notice a pattern. Content words (nouns, most verbs, and adjectives) are usually stressed, while function words (prepositions, pronouns, etc.) are not. Pick out the stressed words, and you'll be able to understand the main idea of the dialogue or conversation.

Watch a DVD

Everyone loves watching movies. So, why not use them to practice your listening skills? It's easy! Watch a segment of your favorite English DVD. First, watch it with subtitles in your native language, so you can understand it. Then watch it again. This time, use English subtitles, and focus on how much you can understand in English. By this time, you should have a good understanding of the dialogue and storyline. Now, watch it once more without any subtitles, and focus on just listening.

Help is a click away!
