\(\bullet\)Prepare to listen: Know something about the subject beforehand so that you can listen actively, rather than passively. Ask yourself what this information can do for you.
\(\bullet\)Avoid distractions: Attempt to limit external distractions by your selection of good seating location for a speech and avoid internal distraction by concentrating on the content of the speech.
\(\bullet\)Identify the central idea: If the speech you are listening to has been well-prepared, the central idea should be stated in the introduction.
\(\bullet\)Identify the main points: Most effective speeches involve a central idea supported by a number of main points. The listener's job is to sort out these main points from the supporting materials.
\(\bullet\)Think along with the speaker: Relate what the speaker is saying to your own knowledge, interests, and life.
\(\bullet\)Take effective notes: Write down only important ideas, write legibly, use your own words, be brief, don't erase, don't worry about spelling, date your notes, and expand them.

\(\bullet\)External noise: It includes noises both inside and outside the listening area. It can be avoided by arriving early enough at the lecture to get a seat where you can see and hear easily.
\(\bullet\)Internal noise: Intense inner distractions caused by personal problems or concerns that distract the listener. It can be avoided by acknowledging that this is not the most appropriate time and focusing on the listening.
\(\bullet\)Bias toward speaker: Speaker's voice or appearance or mannerisms are a distraction. It can be avoided by concentrating on the content of the speech, rather than the delivery.
\(\bullet\)Emotional reaction: A word or phrase can cause a negative response that can interfere with a listener's ability to concentrate. It can be avoided by screening out emotional reactions by resolving to hear everything a speaker has to say before making a judgment.
\(\bullet\)Daydreaming: Listeners think faster than the speaker can speak. Good listeners use the extra words per minute to reorganize what was said and figure out how they can use the information. Learning to listen actively can help avoid daydreaming.
\(\bullet\)Faking attention: Faking attention is a hard habit to break. Active listening and note-taking can help avoid it.
\(\bullet\) Fatigue: If you know that you will be attending an important speech or lecture, make sure that you are well-rested.
\(\bullet\) Improper note-taking: Students who attempt to write down too much of what a speaker is saying often wind up missing the point the speaker is trying to make. The way to avoid this problem is to develop effective note-taking skills.
