  That is how to improve our listening skills...

  在考聆听公开试的时候,较为弱的考生往往不能专注,又或者因为平时没有聆听英语,最后在考试时候不能明白考试内容,成绩强差人意。本栏今集希望介绍一些可以透过平常生活细节中锻练聆听技巧,在自娱中也可以有趣学习。

  跟阅读及写作一样,如果我们平时没有把英语成为生活上的一部分,只在考试前临急抱佛脚,实在难以考得好成绩。很多考生以为只需疯狂地练习past papers,drilling 便可考取好成绩。勤力为考试準备当然最好,但英语毕竟是一种技能,平时的练习是不可缺少的。当然不是每个人都对语文有兴趣,但我们可以尝试把自己的entertainment and hobbies“英语化”

  1.虽然我不是音乐人,但在我的spoken English课堂中常加插有意义的pop songs,lyrics worksheet等等。聆听英文歌曲绝对可有效地改善我们的聆听技巧及对语文的敏感度,即使害羞的学生不会在课堂上跟我一起唱一起跳,大家也可以轻鬆一番。

  2.欣赏纪录片/卡通片/英文电影,最重要是专注在自己喜欢的类别之上。我有些学生喜欢观看欧洲fashion show或足球节目,也可以很迅速及有效地学到大量vocabulary, collocations  and sentence structures. 

  3. 很多学生只喜欢聆听native speakers 的英语或只喜欢聆听Queen's English,其实透过聆听不同国籍的Intonation 可以有效地训练我们的聆听技巧。

  在这裏送上一首我经常跟学生分享的歌曲及lyrics worksheet──英国乐队Supertramp在1979年推出The Logical Song.  一些具教育意义的好歌曲就是长青不老,百听不厌,同学在听歌之余也不妨写下“听后感”,记录自己所思所想,也可以发电邮跟我分享。

  The Logical Song- Supertramp(lyrics worksheet)

A.Fill in the blanks

When I was ______, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, ________.

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so ________, joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they send me away to teach me how to be _________, logical, responsible, practical.

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, ________.

B. Put the sentences in order

the questions run too deep

There are times when all the world's asleep,

but please tell me who I am.

I know it sounds absurd

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

for such a simple man.

C. Match the phrases

Now watch what you say

fanatical, criminal.

liberal,

or they'll be calling you a radical,

Won't you sign up your name,

presentable, a vegetable!

acceptable, respectable,

we'd like to feel you're we'd like to feel you're
