Listening to others requires entering actively and imaginatively into the situation and trying to understand a frame of reference different from your own，and yet so many of us don’t listen properly as we should. 36 It means trying to see the problem the way the speaker sees it.
Here are some ways to become a better listener.
37 Make sure you actually hear fully what your friend is saying，and you can’t cut your friend off verbally carelessly.While you might intend to help move the conversation along，your friend might feel as if what he has said need to be continually talked over or sound anything but interesting.
Nod to encourage the conversation along.A better option to let your friend know you’re interested in what he says is just to nod along from time to time.Sometimes you nod along but then start thinking about something unrelated to what he could say. 38
Tune out background noise.If you’re easily distracted by laughter，glasses clinking，children crying，you might need to work extra hard to focus only on your friend. 39 Don’t hesitate to tell them that the background noises are getting in the way.If you can’t focus，try moving to another area.
No texting or looking at your phone ! 40 For you see，when you’re sitting in front of someone，he is the most important person in your world at that moment.
A.Practice silence when someone else is talking.
B.If necessary，ask your friend to repeat himself.
C.Listening is more than just sitting silently while someone else talks.
D.Whoever is calling or texting can wait until you’re done with your conversation.
E.Questions you raise must clearly be motivated by curiosity about the speaker’s views.
F.In this case，try to push away your thoughts until you’re absorbed in what your friend is saying.
G.Remembering ideas from previous conversations proves that your attention is kept and encourages your friend to continue.

Dear Jack，
How are you?
I'm writing to ask for your help.As you know it，English reading is difficult for foreign language learners and it takes time.Many students in our class are weak on English reading comprehension.Although I have tried every means improve it，like expanding my vocabulary and do a large number of exercises，so far all my efforts have ended up in failure.To make things bad，reading will make up a higher percentage this year than ever before in the coming College Entrance Examination.Now with the important exam drew near，I feel more and more stressing and worded.It will ruin my college dream unless I do not take action.
I’II appreciate it very much if you can give me some advices on how to improve my reading ability effective.I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua
