   "A wise old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw,the less he spoke,the more he heard. Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?” 一 Edward H. Richards.

    We all need to learn to listen well. Listening is a learned skill,the same as speaking in public. It just takes much longer to learn!Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day. And I mean active listening,not just listening when it is convenient to us.

   listening shows others that they are inportant. It9s a sign of respect (尊重) . If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking,it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.

    How do you practice listening? Here are some basic rules ：

   Put down whatever is in your hands. Are you in the middle of writing something? Put down the pen and fold your hands. Are you reading something? Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again. Then put it down.

   Turn off your computer. The computer will distract you from your job at hand — listening.

    Face the person you are speaking with. Facing the person you are speaking with will help you focus completely on listening. It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important. 

    Mind your body language. Leaning toward the speaker will show interest. Crossing your arms in front of your chest shows disagreement. Looking around the room shows you have no interest. Tapping your fingers tells the speaker that you are really too busy for him. Looking that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important.

     Listen completely. Do not start making comments after the first few words. Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind. Pay attention to the speaker. Really listen to what he is telling you.
