IELTS Listening: do you have a daily listening habit?

Of course, the advice that I gave in yesterday's reading lesson also applies to listening. If your only listening practice comes in the form of IELTS listening tests, or other listening exercises from English language courses, I don't think you'll progress as quickly as you could.

Your brain needs to hear a lot of English before it can comfortably process what native speakers are saying. This is why I felt like a beginner when I went to France, even though I had studied French at school for seven years.

Just imagine how many hours of listening practice you've had in your own language over the years!

If you're serious about learning English, creating a daily listening habit could be the most important thing that you do.

I have been listening to CNN since 2016. Due to this practise i mostly understand all these conversations that are being done in news.

british council podcasts also seems fruitful because they are likely to be similiar conversation as in lustening practice tasks

I listen to TED Talk daily and as well whatever I can during the day. I almost understand everything especially when it comes to native speakers, but when it comes to IELTS test I am not as much good as I expect. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I practice four English skills every day, especially listening skills. I find it interesting and amazing. I can see my improvement day by day.
