It is particularly helpful with news stories. This can help you focus on the sounds and words you are listening to instead of becoming distracted by other things around you. Sometimes, it is a good idea to close your eyes when you listen for the first time.This will help you to let your ear get accustomed to the rhythm of English, and also help you to get a general idea of the story on your own. First, listen to the story, or episode several times without subtitles, reading the script or even quiz,or comprehension questions.As a result, you completely lose the "gist" or the context of the conversation itself. When you translate, you are always five or six sentences behind what is being said in the conversation. Don't translate words and sentences into your own language as you listen.
You will increase the percentage of content words that you understand if you accept that you will not, cannot, and do not need to understand everything and continue to practice focusing on what you DO understand, rather than on getting upset, and trying to remember what you DIDN'T understand or hear. It is better to understand 20% of the key words and content words than to try and catch many unimportant words.They are focusing on the main content, not every tiny detail. Even native speakers do not hear or remember every word. You DO NOT NEED TO UNDERSTAND or REMEMBER every single word you hear in order to have a general understanding of what you are listening.
