Hi! I’ve been studying English since primary school. I used to get high remarks 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

Reading:
Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host’s! My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It’s so much easier to just say “Open the window!”, but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, “Open the window, please!” or “Could you open the window, please ” or even longer “Would you mind opening the window, please ”

Post-writing
General content Basic writing skills
Did you give a clear description of the problem Is the advice clearly explained Does each sentence relate to the main idea Do you use pronouns to refer to things or people correctly
Do you use correct spelling, punctuation, and capitalization
Are there any grammar mistakes
I have trouble with phrasal verbs. There are so many of them and it seems impossible to work out the meanings just from the words. And some of the verbs have different meanings. For example, put off can mean postpone, discourage(someone from doing something), and make someone dislike(something).l try to use phrasal verbs sometimes, but l usually use the wrong one.
My classmates had some suggestions for me. One was to use flash cards and to write down the phrasal verb on one side and a sentence using the phrasal verb on the other side. Then l can study them when l have time, like on the bus. Another suggestion was to use the phrasal verb in a sentence that is true for me, so that it's easy to remember. For example, l always put off doing my homework. L think my classmates gave me some good advice. Next time l hear a phrasal verb. MaybeI'll write it down and think of a sentence that uses the verb. Maybe l'll draw a picture too, to make it easier to remember.
