Many students who are weak in listening are concerned about when their practice will start to be effective and how long they should listen to every day. In fact, for a large number of IELTS listening test takers, targeted listening practice from 30 minutes to 2 hours per day should be carried out according to each person's listening situation. It is important to avoid concentrating listening practice on one day as it will definitely not be effective. The practice time every day should not be too long, otherwise, "listening fatigue" will occur and the effect will be counterproductive.
The best time for daily listening practice varies from person to person, but it is best not to practice listening before sleeping, which often makes people feel sleepy when they hear English. In addition, the selected materials should also progress from easy to difficult. You can start by listening to dialogues and gradually transition to lectures. The speaking speed should start from slower to slightly faster. The number of repeated listening sessions should gradually decrease as your listening ability improves. First, you can start with some basic IELTS listening exercises or similar problems, but there is no need to do too much.
