Many people always say that listening to spoken English is too hard for them. But if you don't understand what people are saying, how can you talk with them? It may be difficult, but learning by listening is necessary. It can be done.
As we know, different people have different pronunciations of the same word. Standard pronunciation is important for English speaking as well as for listening. In China, people from one area may not understand what people from another area are saying because of the different Chinese① dialects. Standard Chinese pronunciation can help people from different places understand each other easily.
It is the same with English. ②If your pronunciation is not standard, it is hard for other people to understand you.
If you want to learn how to listen to English, the following ways are helpful.
Get some good books with tapes.③ Do more exercises, from the simple to the difficult, step by step.
You can also watch English-language films sand TV programs, and listen to English-language radio. Try to listen every day, even if only for a few minutes. At first you may understand few words. Don't give up. Just listen.
Remember to read and speak English every day. It will help you a lot. Every day, spend an hour reading English. Finally you will notice that you're making progress.
Talk to English-speaking people as often as possible. They will speak more slowly with you, use simple words and use body language to help you understand them. Don't be afraid to talk to them. They won't mind if you have trouble because they may have more trouble making themselves understood in Chinese.

After the First World War, a small group of soldiers left the army and returned to their hometown in France. Most of them lived well, but one of them was poor. His name was Lebeau.
Once a year they had supper together in Barton's house. Barton was a rich man.
One evening Barton showed his friends a large gold coin at the supper table. The coin was passed around and praised by everyone there. At the same time they were talking and laughing. They soon forgot the coin. After supper, Barton asked for the coin, but nobody could tell where it was. It was lost.
One of the men said that everyone must be searched. One by one they turned out their pockets. Only Lebeau refused. “I didn't steal the coin,” he said, “and I will not be searched.” After that, people turned their heads away from Lebeau when they met him. He grew poorer and poorer. Soon his wife died.
A few years later, Barton had his house repaired. The lost coin was found under the floor. Barton felt sorry and went to Lebeau to apologize. “But” he asked, “You know the coin was not in your pocket,” he said to Lebeau, “but why did you refuse to be searched?”
“Because I was a thief,” Lebeau answered. “My pockets were full of food at that time. I had taken some food from the table to carry home to my wife and hungry children.”
