Part II. Causes

1. I did not master the taught vocab and expressions.

Part III. My Listening Strategies

1.I have to understand almost every word or most of the words before I can understand the whole text.

2. I first grasp the general topic of the text and use it to figure out the meaning of word that I am not familiar with.

3. I am diversified in that I can pick up meanings here and there without a requiring a continous understanding of the audio input. I am comfortable with the gain-lose alternation.

4. I am focused in that if I lose the meaning of one segment, I give up and lose all the text.

5. I regularly guess the meaning of unfamiliar words from their context.

6.I try to use extra-linguistic cues (intonation,pauses,stresses etc.) to determine the tones and attitudes of the speaker in the text.

7. I regularly take notes.

8. I ask my deskmate to clarify unfamiliar words.

9. I have special ways of listening to special sentence structures that are very different from English, such as ba-sentence, long pre-modifier sentence, etc.

10. I use dictionary in self-listening to find out the characters of a sound segment that I think is crucial to my understanding of the whole text.
