Listening test is one of the most important parts of the English exam. Here are some tips for you.

Before you start to listen, you need to relax. Don't be stressed out. And try to read the questions. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage.

Then listen carefully to the first sentence. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage. When you're listening, try to do some thinking and take some notes, such as: What happened? When, where, and how? What does the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand the passage better.

Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don't know, don't spend too much time on them. Very often, you'll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.

It was already dark when an old man came to a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife," Look at his bag, dear. I'm sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep. "

"No, no," said the woman. "He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he'll take you before the judge. "They thought and at last the woman had an idea. "We have forgetful grass," said the woman," Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away. ""How clever you are!" said the owner," Don't forget it when you prepare supper for him. "

The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily," What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn't useful at all. "

"No, no," said the woman. "I don't think so. He must forget something. "

"Oh, I've remembered!" The owner cried out suddenly," He forgot... "

April Fools' Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. However, the April Fools' Day of 2019 was quite different for my mom and me.

That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦). I broke my arm.

Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital. As that day was April Fools' Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy's mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad－she simply believed that was just a big trick.

I guess one could compare this to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Since I had played bad tricks before, it was no wonder that my mom didn't believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.

After I graduated from the university, I got so pressured in finding a job. I did a lot of 1 both online and handing in person to a particular company. It occurred, one day I went to 2 my CV (履历) to a certain company and I wanted to meet the human resource manager in person because I believed it was the best 3 than leaving my CV at the reception.

Unfortunately, in this company the 4 did not allow me to see the human resource manager and 5 asked me to just leave the CV with her and that she would 6 it. I was really 7 since I knew she wouldn't do that and my CV will just be thrown in the trash can, I thought so because it usually 8 a lot in some other companies. So I just left with my head 9 and never thought about it again since I knew I would never get any 10 from the company.

Weeks passed and one day I received a call from a(an) 11 number and guess what... it was the human resource manager of that same company. I was really shocked since I did not 12 it at all. So he said he received my CV and that he would 13 it.

I was so happy and felt bad at the same time for 14 the receptionist the other day. This humbled me and it was a 15 to believe in people and not assume things just because of the norm.
