The main idea of an article or composition is the main theme- or basically what the author is going on about. Ask yourself as you read- "What is the most important thing the author is trying to tell me?" The answer is usually the main idea. It can be difficult to tell the main idea sometimes if the composition or article is extremely technical or intricate. In these cases it is best to study the title. Intricate or technical works are usually categorized according to title. Authors usually state their intentions (the main idea) in these cases quite clearly in the title.
Listening for the main idea means trying to figure out the most important thing in a topic. For example if a teacher is giving a lecture then you would need to listen for the most important points in his/her lecture.
I believe that you get the main idea by using your brain like when you answer an easy question like:
