  Exercise:
How to Improve Listening Comprehension
   Among the four skills of listening , speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult, because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I am trying to focus on the general idea, not worrying about he new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I have understood something. Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult part again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.
