Listen to television news broadcasts News broadcasts are very informative and up-to-date. Try to watch and listen to news broadcasts daily at regular time, this way you will be addicted to news broadcasts. Listen to conversation in the movies When watching movies, sitcoms or dramas, instead of reading the subtitles, you should listen to the conversation between the actors.
