Hi! I've been studying English since primary school. I used to get high marks in English, but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice
Read and find out what’s their problems.

Can you find supporting details of
these problems
Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host's! My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It's so much easier to just say "Open the window!", but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, "Open the window, please!" or "Could you open the window, please " or even longer "Would you mind opening the window, please "
Supporting details
Topic sentence
Yeah, that's really hard! I think it all depends on who you're talking to. If I'm talking to a close friend, I can use short requests, like “Open the window”—our relationship is close and we're equals, so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us. But if I'm talking to someone who isn't very close to me, I must make my request longer—and I must make it a question, not a demand, e.g., "Could you open the window, please " If I'm talking to someone senior to me, then I should say, "Would you mind opening the window, please " For me, vocabulary is my biggest problem—there are just SO MANY new words! I can't keep all the new vocabulary straight in my head, and I certainly can't remember how to use them all properly. HELP!

how to be polite in English
use short requests for close friends, use longer requests for people who are not so close, use more polite phrases for people senior to you
remembering new vocabulary
Create your own word bank: carry a small notebook with you everywhere, and add new words when you learn them, learn word chunks instead of single word, learn word formation

Dear Miss Wang，
My name is Li Hua. I'm writing a letter to you to ask for some advice on English learning.
I have met with many difficulties in learning English since I entered senior high school. First of all, I find our textbook full of new words which are very difficult for me to remember. Besides, the texts are too long for me to recite. What's more, I have great difficulty in writing and always make many mistakes in grammar. Last but not least, my listening and speaking ability is weak, making me do badly in listening and speaking exams. I don’t know what to do now. Would you like to introduce me some advice so that I can learn English more easily
I would greatly appreciate your timely help.
Yours，
Li Hua

DearAlex,
I'm Li Hua, a Senior 1 student(同位语). Occupied in(非谓语动词) preparing for my final exams, I find it challenging to devote myself to study(句型和短语). Therefore, I'm writing for your assistance(高频词汇).
First of all, though spending(霏微语动词) to much time on homework, I hardly have time to take exercise. Plus, the more I think of the expectation from the teachers and my parents, the more stressedI feel(越...越句型). What troubles me most(主语从句) is that it's a headache for me to fall asleep.
Should you be kind to reply to me promptly, I would be highly appreciated(should 开头的虚拟语气).
Yours,
Lihua
