I. Introduction
Language is the tool of communication, while listening is the most important part of Language communication and it is the basic path to understand others. The worse People's abilities of listening are, the little he get the information of others. So it is important to improve the abilities of listening comprehension. Experts say："L istening is the activity of paying attention to and trying to get meaning from something we hear. To listen successfully to spoken language, we need to be able to work out what speakers mean when they use particular words in particular ways on particular occasions and not simply to understand the words themselves.''( 洪文军，英语论文，2017 ) Many Chinese 本论文由英语论文网/students do bad in this field, they find it difficult to get good mark in English listening comprehension ,especial in understanding the implied meaning of conversation. The teachers often speak of the four skills- listening, speaking, reading and writing. That means each of them is important. You can't say that you have mastered the language without any one of them.

About 45%of an adult's time concerns listening to other people, listening to the radio, listening to the music. I have done an investigation.

About 43% of the students thought that the material was read too fast and they couldn't follow.
A lot of students have their own listening habits. Some students often try to understand the material word by word or sentence by sentence. They will think hard when they meet some difficult words or sentences, and a great many students could understand the material directly, they often translate the English into Chinese in their heart, thinking that only in this way can the sentence be understood. .Trying to understand each word is not necessary at all. To change this situation and improve the level of English listening, we must first find the reason and barriers, and then combine our condition, bring new method to overcome it. There are several reasons that we do worse in English listening comprehension.
II. Factors Affecting Students’ English Listening Comprehension
A. Internal Factors
