Let me introduce my article with a quote by the famous writer Ernest Hemingway. He said, “When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen”. In this article, I am going to explain the benefits and tips of listening comprehension and how to improve it. First of all, listening comprehen-sion helps you develop your appreciation for other people; you understand more about the world and also communicate more effectively overall. If you are listening more effectively, once you speak, your message is much more likely to hit the target. In this article, some practical suggestions are highlighted, and they can be useful for those who want to improve their listening skills.
