Get startedWhat is hearing?
Answer
Hearing is an involuntary process. All sounds, noises, music, and speech that enter the ears are part of hearing.
What is listening?
Answer
Listening is a voluntary and active process. It means trying to understand each sound and noise with attention and purpose.
Why is listening called an active process?
Answer
Listening is active because the mind works on the sounds being heard. The listener pays attention, selects important details, and tries to understand the meaning.
Why should listening be practised carefully?
Answer
Listening should be practised carefully to comprehend and respond appropriately, become a better communicator, resolve conflicts, improve relationships, empathise, reflect, and follow instructions.
What is the first rule for good listening?
Answer
Remove distractions and focus only on what is being said. Full concentration helps in catching important information clearly.
Why is it helpful to look at the speaker?
Answer
Looking at the speaker helps catch information that may be missed by hearing alone. Facial expressions and movements also support understanding.
What kind of notes should be taken during listening?
Answer
Brief notes of important details and keywords should be taken. The aim is to capture useful points, not write the entire passage.
What should be avoided while making notes?
Answer
Unnecessary scribbling and trying to write the entire passage should be avoided. Good notes are short, clear, and useful for recalling details later.
