Hello all pals here!
I find it's really difficult although I practise listening to IELTS practice listening test everyday, especially when they speak alone describing something. They speak really fast. And one more thing when I do practice test, for some questions, they require context comprehension, which is my weakness. Is there anything I could do to improve my comprehension skill?

hey to u Richard
listening to IELS is not enough, if u wanna be a real good at that, u should watch english speaking movies with the subtitle. that's the first step, after u believe ur english much improve(listening), u must go on without subtitle like Star Movie Channel, HBO.....something like that. after the years have gone by, u'll realise how awesome u a about listening skill, no matter what it is conversation or alone reading text. u'll catch it eventhough sometime not the whole but u'll understand what they're talking about.
i don know it can help u or not, for me it helps alot. that's the way i'm doing right now.
ok wish u good luck with that!

how long have you been doing so? it needs time you know ok dont worry keep doing that im sure you'll see your benefit soon you know why it still poor? cos you're listening right through your level so that's make you think like this have you ever go back to listen something easier? then you konw how much you have improved see hmm this is how study going when you studied at grade 1 you said: oh god it's too hard then you got other new class you still said so hmm you got grade 5 then come back to see how grade1 doing that's really easy.... ok see ya  don't be lazy |

Thanks to all of u!
But the problem is that my vocabulary is so typical that I could understand only 10% or 15% while watching the English movie or the subtitles. It is hard for me to practice that, isn't it?

yep, i agree with Santa, there are good tips for you but i don't think the movie with subtitles still hard for you. Anyway, i often do this you know when i get a new dvd the first time i watch with subtitle then next time i wont put it again that you can guess how much did you remember or understand?.I always do so it does help me quite well  |

hey guy
write down the words u don know, and find out the meaning repidly with foreign teacher or s.o else who can help u with that. don let them passing u by. as i have read ur text, it appears to me that, u a kind of poor at vocab...so u know what u gonna do to make it really good is "reading,reading novels and books with execise such as Vocabulary in Use, Cause and Effect...........oh so much more, so many kinds and different levels. i think u've already done it, right? try more and more. the more u read, the more u get.

hi dear! that's happening to u cos u a kind of poor at vocabu...and not concentrate on what u're reading. it happend to me when i first got started reading. i was kind of disappointed wih myself but i was still struggling, now it's fine. eventhough i cant catch up with all the meanings but i know what they're talking about. u must gather all ur thought and feeling into the text. about vocab, when u meet unknown words, do not check it immediately. check it when u finish ur para..try to understand the meaning b4 checking. after checking all the words, u must read the whole text again and write down the checked words to review later. that's all i've got. ok just have a go friend! ok welcome more ideas  |

Since the letters appeared on the screen are quickly showed and disappeared, we are unable to understand the entire story by reading or seeing the subtitle below, but by seeing the meaning their conveying via their gestures or other body languages.
