Hey, everybdy! Welcme t ur chat grup! Enjy yur sharing mment.
Hi! I’ve been studying English since primary schl. I used t get high marks in English, but nw I’m having a lt f truble with my listening. When I listen t native (本土的) English speakers talking in a vide, I can catch nly a few wrds s I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice?
Listening t English radi prgramme helps me get used t hw fast native speakers talk. I als repeat what I hear t help myself t experience the feeling f the language. Smetimes I even recrd my vice s I can listen t myself and cmpare my prnunciatin with the radi hst’s! My biggest headache is hw t be plite in English. It’s s much easier t just say “Open the windw!”, but in English that can sund really terrible. I have t think abut wh I’m talking t and then decide whether t say, “Open the windw, please!” r “Culd yu pen the windw, please?”
Yeah, that’s really hard! I think it all depends n wh yu’re talking t. If I’m talking t a clse friend, I can use shrt requests, like “Open the windw”—ur relatinship is clse and we’re equals (同等的人), s I nly need a few wrds t bridge the gap between us. But if I’m talking t smene wh isn’t very clse t me, I must make my request lnger—and I must make it a questin, nt a demand (要求), e.g., “Culd yu pen the windw, please?” If I’m talking t smene senir t me, then I shuld say, “Wuld yu mind pening the windw, please?” Fr me, vcabulary is my biggest prblem—there are just S MANY new wrds! I can’t keep all the new wrds straight in my head. HELP!
