解答同学们听力学习中经常碰到的5个难题

 (now look at the division I have made for you, noticing the capitalized words!)
Computers/ are opening up /a whole new world of learning. They are becoming more and more COMMON / in colleges and schools, / in the office or work-place, / and even in the home. FORTUNATELY/ for us all /they are ALSO becoming/ CHEAPER AND CHEAPER. // Many businesses,/ government departments /and other organizations are INCREASINGLY using the internet / to COMMUNICATE with other people. / "electronic mail" / or email as it is called / is becoming increasing COMMON. / While early programs / could ONLY handle / SIMPLE messages, most can NOW carry pictures,/ and EVEN SOUND./ WHY is email so useful?/ One REASON is its COST: / it is MUCH CHEAPER /to email a friend / than to make a long distance PHONE-CALL. / IN ADDITION, / an email message is delivered almost INSTANTLY--there's NO seven-day wait / if you're emailing someone / on the OTHER SIDE of the GLOBE./ You can keep in touch / with family and friends / EVEN when they are AWAY /--they can visit a "CYBERCAFE" / and check their mail from there.// Many companies now RELY on email /--it is much CHEAPER, / it's much FASTER / and it's much more RELIABLE / than ORDINARY "SNAIL" MAIL. / So next time / you have a chance to learn about sending emails /make sure you do so!
(although you may be confused by the unfamiliar sound of CYBERCAFE and SNAIL, you can make a correct assumption based on the understanding as a whole ！ )

    3 ．听课文、听力练习、新闻抓不住重点，不知道什么样的内容是重点。重点词是什么？请举例说明。
The first sentence is always the most important one for a news item. You need to tune in before listening to broadcast.
    As for those listening materials in textbook, I think you should listen for a purpose, drop some hints from the designed questions.
    For example, if it is designed to test your ability about number, date, year, or time, please be prepared for that; if it is for location, pay attention to those words showing direction. Always be prepared and attentive!

    4 ．自己如何进行系统的听力训练。
I suggest you use systematical way to train your listening.
    Firstly, choose a suitable material, for example "Listen to This" --Waiyanshe Publishing House is a good material for listening training.
    Secondly, don't give up half-way. Rome was not built in a day! Listen to English songs can be enjoyable because you are fond of the rhythm and beautiful sound, but when it comes to dictating script of the songs, it might be painful.
  
    5 ．进行听力练习时，感觉自己听懂了，但还是写不出所听到的内容大意？
Taking notes need some skill. Before blank filling, you need to be fully prepared. What are the key words for listening comprehension? If you just write down preposition, article or pronoun, they can hardly do any help to your understanding; if you just want to spell out a three-syllable word without recognizing importance of the sequence of words afterwards, you can never come to a general understanding of the whole passage.
