Listening Tip # 4 – Answer as you listen

What I mean here is that you need to listen and write the answer at the same time.
Make no mistake – it is not a very natural thing for you, so you have to practice a lot in it.
The reason you have to “answer as you listen” is that you immediately forget the sentences after you have heard them. This is what stress, foreign language, constant flow of information does – it makes you forget. After hearing the third sentence you won’t be able to repeat the first. It means that when any part of Listening is over – you won’t be able to remember any of answers. So write them as you hear them, leave nothing for later.
