In many English examination or test,
listening section always become the hardest section between the other section
like structure, reading, and speaking. The time that is given in the test is
very fast and then the unclear pronunciation from the native speaker. People
always make it as the reason why many people failed and cannot pass listening
test with a good score. Don’t judge the listening learning method which is used
in course or the style of delivering from the teacher which is not suitable.

Same as the other English skills, listening skill can be improved naturally if we can be familiar with the English listening conversation. But, we have to remember, listening in English does not mean “listen”, but it means “gather”. So today you have to try to listen every conversation in the listening section.
