The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Dont change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”. Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio. Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “Special English from the V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook”.1.

This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. Its raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still cant understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get homeif we ever get homehes going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree（狂购）at the mall!Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. Were camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldnt see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod(竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch so we put them back in the stream.Friday: I cant believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. Were already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. Its hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.5.
