Listening, speaking, reading and writing are importance to our study. Of the four skills, I think listening is the harder. I like watching English films but I have trouble understanding the way in that native speakers speak.
I am not happy with this situation, but last week I have a talk with my friend Wang Ting. She told me some good ways of improve listening. She suggested using my iPad to listen English songs and learn English expression. Besides, she said watching the news and interviews on CCTV9 were also helpful.
I will do as her advised. I’m sure I will gradual make progress.
