This cannot be solved easily, because listening is a kind of complex and perceptual knowledge process. Listening does not only mean the ability to hear, it is also the ability to capture the information that the language carries through hearing organs and the ability of head. As far as I am concerned, such a problem is related to the complexity of various factors: listening itself covers, the language knowledge proficiency listeners possess, and also it is closely connected with the traditional foreign language style.展开更多
