Tactics and Strategies In Listening

TACTICS AND STRATEGIES IN LISTENING

Be well prepared
listening to English texts-audiovisual or audio text is helful to sharpen our instinct to deduce the meaning. It is suggested to listen as much as possible- I used to do this, and it however considers the times. Spend too much time at once will be useless while a regular program will be significant in increasing the instinct.

be fit! You need enoug sleep and meal. relaxation is one alternative to be enjoyable while fresh mind exist.

Be concerned
sometime there are more than one way in beating the test. The one is pay concentration to follow each text issued during the time of listening and the other is instinct itself. It helped me a lot when I thought that one answer was the best choice. It worked. Try!

Be relax
don't panic! You only need to sit and listen carefully. It is the time for you to start beautiful day. Try!
