Being a Good Listener
Being a good listener is more and more difficult nowadays because people are often good talkers instead of good listeners. When we are happy, we will like to share happiness with others, making others know our enjoyment. 1 But when we are not in good mood, we are in great need of someone who can listen to us. 2
Being a good listener helps one become a better communicator. 3 A good listener not only listens to others, but also comforts them. To be a good listener can help us make good friends with others, and help us become a better communicator. Good listening also shows respect, promotes understanding, and improves interpersonal relationship. The one who listens to others will be easy going and people like to make friends with him. Whenever the listeners are stuck in trouble, their friends are willing to help them.
How to become a good listener? Each of us should listen more to others. 4 Parents should listen more to their children to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students to build a good relationship with them; students should listen more to their classmates to help and learn from each other.
成为好的倾听者
成为一个好的倾听者如今越来越难，因为人们往往是好的倾诉者，而不善于倾听。开心时，我们会乐意和别人分享快乐，让他人了解自己的快乐，但是当我们心情不好的时候，我们非常需要一个人来倾听我们的心声。
成为好的倾听者有助于一个人成为更棒的交流者。倾听者不仅要倾听他人，还要去安慰他们。成为一个优秀的倾听者可以帮助我们和别人交朋友，有助于我们变成更好的交流者。善于倾听还会显示尊重之心，促进理解，改善人际关系。善于倾听他人的人很好相处，人们喜欢和他交朋友。每当倾听者陷入麻烦之中，他们的朋友都愿意伸出援手。
如何成为好的倾听者？每个人都应该多多倾听。父母应多倾听孩子的想法，从而缩小代沟。老师应多倾听学生的心里话，建立良好师生关系。同学之间多倾听彼此心声，互帮互助，相互学习。
范文点评

2. 首段末句指出人们心情不好的时候，非常需要有人倾听自己的心声。
3. 第二段首句将提纲中的第二个内容作为主题句展开论述，紧扣要求。

句法点评
1. A good listener not only listens to others, but also comforts them.
not only...but also...结构的使用，加深了句子表达的含义，表递进关系。
2. Whenever the listeners are stuck in trouble, their friends are willing to help them.
由whenever引导的时间状语从句加强了表达的语气，whenever意为“每当”。
