 LISTENING COMPREHENSION STRATEGY

The first session is a session on TOEFL Listening Comprehension test. In general, this session consists of 50 questions or inquiries. The duration of time provided to answer the third part is only for 35 minutes. We are required to hear some of the conversations that have been recorded previously, and then answer the questions based on the information that has been mentioned by cassette / tape recorder. This conversation is not shown on the question paper, but you will only see about numbers (1, 2, 3, etc..) Along with possible answers to each question (A, B, C, and D). In this first part you will need to listen carefully and concentrate on the conversation (dialogue and monologue). This is because you will not get a second chance to re-listen to a conversation.

Bellows are the secret to in crease your ability in listening according to me :
1.  You must often watching TV especially English movie and listen to it
2.  You must in crease your vocabulary by watching news and report on TV listen to them one on radio
3.  Make converstation with foreign people and try to understand of what they said,
4.  Attend the having seminar at your university and your shcol or in your city
5.  Make telephone call’s with friends and try telephone understand it

 
There are three sections in Listening Comprehension sessions. These parts are :
1.  Part A. This section consists of thirty short conversation (short conversations) between two people, both men and women. Each conversation ended with a question. You are required to choose one of the answer choices (A, B, C, and D) the most precise available on the question paper. The questions in Part A number ranging from 1 to 30.
2.  Part B. This section consists of two long conversations (longer conversations) between two people, both men and women. Each conversation is followed by four questions. You are welcome to choose the best answer (A, B, C, and D). The questions in Part B starting from number 31 to 38.
3.  Part C. The final section consists of three long speeches (talks) and only involves one person (monologue). Usually in the form of academic lectures or describe someone who was giving a lecture. Each talk is followed by four questions. You are required to answer by selecting one best answer. The questions in Part B starting from number 39 to 50.
For most people, Listening Comprehension is the hardest part when TOEFL tests. This time I will try to summarize what strategies should be done in order to answer the questions in the Listening Comprehension well.

General strategy for Listening Comprehension Section for part A, part B and part C
1.            Be familiar with the directions. The directions on every TOEFL test are the same, so it is not necessary to listen carefully to them each time. You should be completely familiar with the directions before the day of the test.
2.            Listen carefully to the conversations and talks. You should concentrate fully on what the speakers are saying on the recording because you will hear the recording one time only.
3.           Know where the easier and more difficult questions are generally found. Within each part of the Listening Comprehension section, the questions generally progress from easy to difficult.
4.            Never leave any questions blank on your answer sheet. Even if you are unsure of the correct response, you should answer the question. There is no penalty for guessing.
5.            Use any remaining time to look ahead at the answers to the questions that follow. When you finish with one question, you may have time to look ahead at the answers to the next question.

LISTENING TEST
In the Listening test, you will be asked to demonstrate how well you understand spoken English. The entire Listening test will last approximately 45 minutes. There are four parts, and directions are given for each part. You must mark your answers on the separate answer sheet. Do not write your answers in your test book.

Topics that will be covered are dreams, memory, and depression. These topics are illustrated with outstanding computer animation that makes the explanations easy to follow. Make an effort to see this show. Since we've been studying the nervous system in class, I know you'll find it very helpful.
