What makes my English listening comprehension poor?
I have known it for long that my English listening comprehension is far from good. It's the common case that I cannot make out what the component words and phrases are when a sentence is output in the form of sound, such as utterance and audio, while I can understand the sentence without effort if it is presented in print.
Sometimes I try to make out what has brought about this sitation. I have an idea that it is the way that I have been learning (and been taught) English that have resulted in it: I have been learning by reading, writing and translating, not or seldom by listening and speaking, especially when I started my English learning, when I (and my peers of that time) did not even have an eligible and certificated teacher who'd been formally and regularly traind in English and English teaching. Thus we had long before fallen into a wrong and bad language learning habit which has been causing serious problems in our English-learning progress.
I believe there must be a lot of people here in this forum who enjoy perfect listening comprehension. I'm really in need of listening skills. If you'd like to give some of your own valuable experience, I'll be very obliged. You're welcome to write in either Chinese or English.

Is 'makes' correctly used in the title? 'made'? 'has made'? 'has been making'? Can I say 'what has made(if correct) POOR my English listening comprehension'? Which is better?
