Explanation
★Listening is best improved by enhancing the effectiveness and impressiveness of the speaker's voice, so that is the answer.
★Listening depends greatly on how the message reaches the ear of the listener.
★A clear, expressive and impressive voice holds attention and makes the message easy to follow.
★So working on the voice directly strengthens the listener's ability to attend and understand.
★Linking listening to a monetary reward relies on outside pressure rather than genuine attention.
★Making contents interesting helps, but the direct improvement of listening comes through the effectiveness of the voice, while punishing listeners only breeds fear.
