The document discusses listening skills and provides strategies to improve listening abilities. It defines listening as an active mental process rather than a passive hearing process. The document notes that most people only remember 50% of what they hear and forget more over time. It then outlines different types of listening like active, empathic, and critical listening. Barriers to effective listening are also presented along with ways to overcome weaknesses, such as practicing listening to English songs, radio, movies. The goal is to improve relationships, knowledge, and understanding through stronger listening skills.

45% is devoted to listening.
•Usually a person only remembers about 50% of

about 75% of what you hear.
