Dear Smith，
I’m an university student. I once think life at the university must be excellent, and now I have changed my mind . I had three roommate, and I was the last one to move in the dormitory. Last term, I got along peacefully and happy. But I find they are willing to be with me now. They don’t talk with me, and they have become colder towards me than ago. Many times, I wanted to talk with them about how I felt, but I failed to find an opening. I have been feeling sad and lonely. Although I am an honest student, but I can’t win true friendship.
Yours sincerely,
Tom

Active listening is an essential skill in learning. It is when you listen carefully to make sure you understand and learn the information that is being conveyed. 1 Here are some things which can help you to listen actively.
◆ 2 . Don’t just write everything down. Listen carefully and make sure you understand what the purpose of this lecture is. As you take down notes, keep the main point in mind and make sure you understand how these notes are related.
◆Listen for an organizational structure. Listen carefully to figure out how the ideas are organized and they will make more sense.
◆Pay attention to organizational cues (暗示). 3 Pay close attention to the introduction, as it will probably show how you should organize your notes. If the lecture begins with, “Today I’m going to talk about three ethnic conflicts (种族冲突) in the Middle East,” then you have a good idea of what’s going to follow. Listen for “signpost” words to show a transition (过渡) from one point to the next, such as “next” and “finally” and numerical signposts like “first” or “third”.
◆Listen with your eyes. 4 Watch the teacher and be aware of how he or she uses hand gestures, eye contact and other body language to convey points.
◆Remove distractions. Put away the campus newspaper, your cell phone and anything else that might be more interesting than the lecturer.
Learning to concentrate and listen actively is an endurance（耐力） skill. 5
A．Speakers communicate information through nonverbal communication.
B．Unfortunately, many students don’t know how to listen actively when they attend classes.
C．If your teacher indicates that something is important, mark it.
D．Make yourself do it, and it will get easier over time.
E. Listen carefully for words and phrases that reflect the organizational structure of the lecture.
F. Your teachers’ notes are probably organized into some kind of outline.
G. Listen for the main point and major sub-points.
Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure？Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation—in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were worried at the thought of driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and learn all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom, there is always one for you.
It surely beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.
