Question

11．Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone's situation．If you want to know how to be a good listener，read on to get started！1（36）B
It's easy to get lost in yourself and to only consider the impact of the other person's"telling"on you．But active listening is blocked by your inward thinking．On the contrary，you must look at the problems from the other person's angle．
Don't try to help immediately．Some people think that they should find a quick and easy solution to the person's problem while listening．Instead，you should take the time to think of a"solution"only if he or she is really looking for help in this way．（37）G
Remember what you've been told．（38）D So，if the person is telling you about his problems with his best friend，you can at least remember his name so you can refer to him that way．If you don't remember any names，details，or important events，then it won't sound like you're listening．
Encourage the speaker with body language．（3）C．Also says little things such as"Yeah"when the person is talking about something that they want you to agree on or"Wow"when the person talks about a tragedy or something bad done against them．These words betray that you're not only listening but paying attention．
Make eye contact．If you give your friend the impression you aren't interested and are distracted，they may never open up to you again．（40）E

A．Wait for the person to open up．
B．Place yourself in the other person's shoes．
C．Show them that you care by nodding at right times so they know you're listening．
D．Being a good listener is to actually absorb the information the person has told you．
E．Focus directly on their eyes so that they will know certainly that you are absorbing every single word．
F．Instead of the conclusion，let the speaker know that you are ready to listen and to be a sounding board．
G．If you start thinking of all of the quick measures for the person's problems，you won't be listening attentively．
