Hello Divya,
One of the best ways to improve your English listening skills is to listen to native English speakers. There are many resources on the web that are helpful. The VOA (Voice of America) has a great website with compelling stories that you read and can also hear. You can also adjust the speed so you can slow it down to listen to the pronunciation. There is also another website like the BBC website. The other thing is to practice your English with other speakers. You have asked an excellent question, and you can achieve this goal. Remember, keep practising conversing in English.
