Simplify At a certain stage of English listening,some students may report a kind of unpleasant or even frustrating experience.They say that while listening,they seem to understand everything that they hear,but as soon as the voice stops,all is gone!They say that they just can't remember what they heard,not to mention writing down or speaking out.What causes this problem?Is it also your complaint?Let us try to discuss the matter from two perspectives.First,knowing some difference between comprehension and production is important.When we learn a new language,we usually pass through at least three communication stages,namely,the one-way stage,the partial two-way stage and the full two-way stage.Obviously,there's the gap in between.Just as Brown and Terrell point out in their books on language learning and language teaching,"The inability to produce an item should not be taken to mean that the learner cannot comprehend it."Therefore,ifwe can comprehend what is being said to us,we have achieved the first goal.That's quite encouraging!Secondly,of course,we'll have to move on.And we must be aware of some possible traps on our way to effective listening.When we listen,w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网are we paying equal attention to every element in each utterance?Are we attempting to memoriz e and repeat and write down all the details in a passage?If so,we need to think for a while.Human memory can retain only a limited amount of information at a time.Therefore,only by learning to select and simplify can we possibly absorb what is really important and then remember what is the most essential.In fact,when we listen,we usually listen with a purpose.Although it is sometimes necessary to get detailed and specific information on the subject,it is,more often than not,quite enough for us to grasp the key words and the main points.Furthermore,in the course of listening,if we are capable of automatically turning the complicated sentence structures into simple ones,interrogative into affirmative,or passive into active,our brain will certainly do a much smarter job in helping our memory.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网。
