Hi! I’ve been studying English since primary school. I used to get high marks in English, but now I’m having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice

Yeah, that’s really hard! I think it all depends on who you’re talking to. If I’m talking to a close friend, I can use short requests, like “Open the window”– our relationship is close and we’re equals, so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us. But if I’m talking to someone who isn’t very close to me, I must make my request longer—and I must make it a question, not a demand, e.g., “Could you open the window, please ” If I’m talking to someone senior to me, then I should say, “Would you mind opening the window, please ” For me, vocabulary is my biggest problem—there are just SO MANY new words! I can’t keep all the new vocabulary straight in my head, and I certainly can’t remember how to use them all properly. HELP!

Dear Miss Wang，
My name is Li Hua. I'm writing a letter to you to ask for some advice on English learning.
I have met with many difficulties in learning English since I entered senior high school. First of all, I find our textbook full of new words which are very difficult for me to remember. Besides, the texts are too long for me to recite. What's more, I have great difficulty in writing and always make many mistakes in grammar. Last but not least, my listening and speaking ability is weak, making me do badly in listening and speaking exams. I don’t know what to do now. Would you like to introduce me some advice so that I can learn English more easily
I would greatly appreciate your timely help.
Yours，
Li Hua

假设你是高一学生李华，正在忙着备战 期末考试，但是发现很难集中精力学习，请给你的英国朋友Alex写一封邮件，向他求助。内容包括：
1.你的困难； 2.寻求帮助。
Writing
Dear Alex,
Occupied in preparing for my final examination, I find it challenging to devote myself to study. Therefore, I'm writing in the hope of your assistance.
To begin with, I have trouble in having limited time to exercise, which is caused by spending too much time on homework. What’s more, the high expectation from the teachers and my parents is a big struggle for me. The more I think of it, the more stressed I feel. Last but not least, what bothers me most is that I often perform poorly in English exams, no matter how hard I work.
I would be grateful if you could reply to me at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua
