Listening is a very important task which can show for a student how well he could understand a foreign person. It is not enough to know a grammar and words. It is also important to understand what foreign people a talking about. In order to do it, we should do as much as possible listening practice. Therefore, I have chosen the topic “Treatment of teenage depression” and did a listening practice.
First of all, I would like to say that rate of speaking was pretty good for my perception. I could hear almost all words. The pronunciation was clearly understandable. The biggest problem was my lack of vocabulary in my brains.
I am not a person who likes to risk. For this reason, I have listened the interview from Radio New Zealand with an Australian doctor, Leane Rowe, for two times. Fortunately, it helps me to fix some mistakes. It means that one time for listening is not enough. I can’t concentrate in all tasks at one time.
Moreover, I think that this type of listening helps to improve listening practice because it increases a deeper attention to fundamental goal of question. It is a tricky but beneficial listening.
Furthermore, my ability to understand authentic speech is not the best, but better that it was year ago. I could easily understand a pronunciation without paying attention to the speed. Now I think I would be able to pass an exam of listening practice if the speech were without accent (as it was in this interview).
All in all, a listening practice is still difficult for me. The only reason to improve my listening skills is to be abroad and communicate with foreign people, especially Englishman.
