With the increasing of China's international influence, China's comprehensive discourse power in the world has been strengthened. In the past, people's understanding of learning English mainly focus on the exam, and exam pays more attention to doing exercises, leading to a certain extent ignore the training of listening skills, which results in most students who go to college learning "dumb English". In order to explore the causes of students' listening difficulties, this paper intends to use the questionnaire for research. Through the research, it is not difficult to find that most students can hardly improve their listening comprehension due to the lack of vocabulary accumulation, the lack of basic knowledge of grammar and syntax, the interference of psychological pressure, and emotional factors. In view of the above problems, the author comes up with the following solutions through research, including guiding students to combine extensive listening and intensive listening to expand their vocabulary, integrating the basic knowledge of grammar and syntax. It is expected to promote the improvement of listening skills of college students and the continued development of Chinese English education.
