Psychologically speaking, you eliminate other sounds that affect you through music and create a more focused environment for you. When I go to school, I often turn on the radio or listen to songs to do my homework. Like you, I feel too quiet but I can't calm down. As for English listening, frankly speaking, it doesn't have much effect unless you listen to a song or a movie audio repeatedly. If you want to practice listening by the way, you can consider the audio of your favorite movie or TV series and listen all the time. You may suddenly find a sentence between homework. After listening to it for thousands of times, if you don't know how to write it, look it up in the dictionary and you'll never forget it. Because English is a phonetic language, remembering pronunciation is very helpful for spelling words. In addition, you will clearly remember the scene where the word is used, and the memory is relatively three-dimensional. Once the word is written down, it will melt into your body and become a part of your body. But this is a slow job, and it may take a month or more to remember a word. I'm sure I can't do it if I take the exam It is a habit to like listening to songs and doing homework. Many students have this habit. You can keep it. Nothing!
