I used to get high marks in English, but now I ’m having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice?

My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It's so much easier to just say "Open the window!", but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, “Open the window, please!” or “Could you open the window, please?” or even longer “Would you mind opening the window, please?”

Hi! My biggest headache is literal translation(字面翻译).For example,I think that the Chinese phrase “小心滑落”is directly translated as “Slip carefully”.I just translate each Chinese character into English word by word,but ignore the actual meaning of the warning.“Slip carefully” literally means to slip in a careful way, which is completely opposite to the original warning of “be careful not to slip”.

problem 2
linking words(连接词)
Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language.Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host’s!
explain how it works

problem 3
Yeah,that’s really hard! I think it all depends on who you’re talking to.If I’m talking to a close friend,I can use short requests,like “Open the window”—our relationship is close and we’re equals,so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us.But if I’m talking to someone who isn’t very close to me,I must make my request longer—and I must make it a question,not a demand,e.g…,“Could you open the window,please?”If I’m talking to someone senior to me,then I should say,Would you mind opening the window,please?”

Hi, Doubao.
Please search for videos about memorizing vocabulary.
Hi, what can I do for you?
···
Here is a good video about building vocabulary.
视频
You might try to record all new words and phrases.
My advice is that you can look up new words in a dictionary.
It’s very important to practise with your friends or even use new words and phrases in other situations.
main point of view (主要观点)
Thinking before writing: How do you make the advice more coherent and convincing ?
Homework
Polish your advice on how to build vocabulary.You'd better sum up your own experience . If you don't have enough experience, translate the following sentences.
1.在日常学习中记录新单词和词组,无论他们是来自课本,阅读材料,听力练习或者对话。除了可以记录新词本身,还可以记录它的发音,词性,中文意思和例句。
2.要学会查英汉字典比如牛津字典,当在查字典时,不要只关注单词的一个意思,注意它的一词多义。
3.练习很重要,因为被动的记忆(只读和背)远远没有主动的运用有效,牢记熟能生巧。
结论:学一门新语言,只有达到足够的输入量才可以输出。
