We all need to learn to listen well.Listening is a learned skill,the same as speaking in public.It just takes much longer to learn!Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day.
Listening shows others that they are important.It's a sign of respect(尊重).If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking,it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.
How do you practice listening?Here are some tips:
Put down whatever is in your hands.Are you in the middle of writing something?Put down the pen and start to listen.Are you reading something?Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again.Then put it down.
Face the person you are speaking with.Facing the person you are speaking with will help you listen more carefully.It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important.
Mind your body language.Standing towards the speaker will show interest.Looking around the room shows you have no interest.Looking that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important.
Listen completely.Do not start making comments(評論)after the first few words.Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind.Listen to the speaker carefully and try to understand what he is telling you.
