◆Relax(放松) yourself.
Before you start listening to something, don’t get excited or nervous（紧张的）.You need to relax．This will help you with your listening.
◆Listen carefully to the first sentence.
The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage．For example，if，at the beginning，you hear “Our reporter says…”,you know you will hear a piece of news，not a children’s story, or a science report.
◆ Think when you’re listening.
When you’re listening, try to do some thinking．For example, you can think of the following questions: When, where and how? What does the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand the passage better.
◆Listen to important facts.
It’s important for you to remember some important facts. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings, and how the scientists get their results. This is also very helpful to your listening．
