let's define listening as making meaning from sound .It's a mental process ,and it's a process of extraction. In fact ,i would suggest that our listening is the main way that we experience the flow of time from past to future . So ,"Sonority is time and meaning " -a great quote .?

感受時(shí)間從過去到未來的流動(dòng)，因此，“聲音是時(shí)間和存在”。

We‘re becoming impatient. we don't want oratory anymore ,we want sound bites .And the art of conversation is being replaced-dangerously, i think -by personal broadcasting .交談的藝術(shù)，正在被個(gè)人的平時(shí)語言所取代，我認(rèn)為這個(gè)是很危險(xiǎn)的。

The first one is silence .Just three minutes a day of silence is a wonderful exercise to reset your ears and to recalibrate, so that you can hear the quiet again .首先是安靜，每天只要拿出三分鐘的時(shí)間讓自己安靜下來。就是一個(gè)很好的練習(xí)，來讓聽覺系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行 重置和調(diào)整。 從而再次感受寧靜。

The second one ?i called “mixer”,So even if you 're in a noisy environment like this -so how many individual channels in that mix am i listening to ??

Third ,this exercise i call "savoring " and this is a beautiful exercise .It's about enjoying mundane sounds. ?第三點(diǎn)稱為“品味聲音”。

This is listening positions -the idea that you can move your listening position to what's appropriate to what you are listening to .

RASA stands for?

"Receive " ,which means pay attention to the person.

"Appreciate "making little noises ?like "hmm" "oh" "ok"?

"Summarize " -the word "so" is very important in communication.

"Ask" ask questions afterwards .
