The one who can listen who can speak. Therefore before you speak you need to listen more， just like the baby learn how to say words. Only get enough inputs can you take outputs.
There is one effective way to improve listening skill. Listen to the record of the news repeatedly and then write down all the contents on a piece of paper. It is a very good way to practice listening comprehension and it can help you to set up a solid foundation in passing the exams， but it will waste a lot of time. You have to spend one or two hours to write down one minute’s news on a piece of paper. If you are a beginner of listening， just try it systematically. Another effective way is to listen to the English online broadcast everyday. Before listening to the broadcast， please try to spend some time on getting to know the latest international situation. Because after you have read the main news， you have no difficulty in understating the headline news， so it is much easier to get the meaning.
3. JUST DO IT
You should not expect to speak perfect English at first. Please don’t be afraid of the errors but accept them. What you need to do is just say it at any occasions.
As the teacher， we should not interrupt the students when they are speaking freely. If we often correct their errors while they are speaking， they will be nervous in speaking and dare not to say anything again. But this does not means that teachers can ignore the repeated errors， we should advocate “delayed correction”. They should listen and jot down the errors and verify them after the students have finished their conversation. Both accuracy and fluency should not be neglected in spoken English practice.
Therefore， at different practicing times and stages you should focus on different tasks respectively. For the Beginners， one principle you should bear in mind is just do it， say it loudly.
At last， do remember， when you are in state of exhaustion， never force yourself to learn. Get well sleep， then you turn to learn， you will surprise. the result will be much better when you have high spirit. Otherwise， you will just waste your time.
