It is no exaggeration to say that listening is more important than talking. For instance, without listening, a baby won’t know how to speak; without enough listening, we cannot speak English fluently; without listening carefully in classroom, we cannot follow our teachers.
There are several reasons to account for the importance of listening. First and foremost, only by listening to others carefully can we understand their points of views. Secondly, more listening can not only broaden our horizons, but also helps us absorb others’ wisdom. Last but not least, listening is an input and talking is an output. It is unwise to voice our opinions in those topics that we are unfamiliar with.
As an old Chinese old saying goes, silence is gold. Therefore, in my humble opinion, it is of great significance for us to spend more time in listening instead of rushing to speak.
毫不夸张地说,听力比说话更重要。例如,没有倾听,一个孩子不知道如何说话;没有足够的倾听,我们不能流利地说英语,没有仔细听在教室,我们不能跟着我们的老师。
有几个理由占倾听的重要性。首先,只有仔细听别人才能理解他们的观点。其次,更多的倾听不仅可以开阔我们的视野,但也帮助我们吸收他人的智慧。最后但并非最不重要,听力是一个输入和说话是一个输出。是不明智的声音我们的意见在我们不熟悉的话题。
作为一个古老的中国谚语说,沉默是金。因此,依我拙见,具有重要意义对我们花更多的时间在听,而不是急于说话。
