  DESCRIBING CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOUR (vocabulary, speaking & listening) Good tips for practicing and improving your listening skills: Don’t use audio that’s too easy/too hard Instead, use audio that’s challenging but not impossible Don’t ALWAYS read the transcript while listening Instead, try to understand first with only your ears Don’t get upset about not understanding every word Instead, keep paying attention to the speaker Don’t listen only once and then give up Instead, listen to the same audio multiple times Don’t ONLY do passive listening Instead, practice listening with focused goals
