如何利用听写练习来提高托福听力
提到新托福听力备考，很多人马上能想到记笔记、听关键词、看结构。但貌似没有一个方法可以让人的听力稳定在25分以上。其实当我们沉浸在各种各样的托福听力技巧里面的时候，我们没有发现，听力真正的能够快速提高我们成绩的技巧只有一个，就是“听写”!下面一起来看看如何利用听写练习来提高托福听力
如何利用听写练习来提高托福听力
很多考友总是认为托福听力听写是一个非常消耗时间的方法。其实这样理解，有对的一面，但是同时也有不全面的一面。因为相比起听关键词，记笔记，这种貌似可以马上“见效”的方法，听写有可能要1周左右才能看到很明显的效果。
当然，各位考友也看到了，这里把“见效”两个字用双引号，引了起来，之所以这样就是因为。记笔记，听关键词本身只是治标不治本，或者说它是一种镜花水月看得见摸不到的方法，因为听关键词本身，其实也是对于实力有要求的。而且在你听力实力真的达到了26分以上的时候，你才会发现，其实所谓的听关键词，只是那些实力已经很好的人才能有的一个特权，但是当你实力不好的时候，一切都只是空谈。
换句话说，听写看上去貌似比听关键词，记笔记要慢一些。但是实际上，当你考虑到听关键词，记笔记本身没有用的时候，你就会发现，听关键词和记笔记只是华而不实的幻想，也就是说这两种方法本身其实是没用的，因此自然也谈不上是有效的。这就是，说听写虽然看上去慢，但是考虑到绝对的有效性，因此不应该称其为慢。
新托福听力听写的见效，对于很多人，大约一周左右的时间就能见效，如果能够坚持一个月的话，有可能就能让你提升10分左右的空间，而且再考虑到对于口语和作文的连带提分效果。你会发现有可能听写1个月对你的提升就能在15分左右，甚至更多的分数，但是其实很多考友，不管是用了机经还是各种各样的技巧，其实都很难提升哪怕5分!考虑到这一点的时候，其实我们应该发现，最长的路，其实也就是最短的路。
