2015年12月英语四级作文真题及范文一：倾听比说重要

 　　作文题目一：“倾听”比“说”重要。listening is more important than talking。

　　范文一：

　　It is quite important to be a good listener.Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking.It’s being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently¹ for your chance to respond.

　　Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more amiable² person.As you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish,as you simply listen more intently³ to what is being said,you will feel more relaxed,and so will the people you are talking to.Not only will being a better listener make you a more patient person,but it will also improve your relationship with others because everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.

　　It is quite easy for you to be a better listener.As long as you for get yourself and imagine yourself in the speaker’s experience to understand the emotion behind the words,and then give your appropriate responses slowly,you will be an endeared listener.
