Question

(B) In class,your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.

Here are the three stages (阶段) of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.

A Get ready to take notes （before class) Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will help you remember what you have learned and get you ready to understand new information. Complete all assigned (布置的) material before class. Your teacher will expect that you have done this for further understanding. Bring your pens and pencils as well as your notebook.

A Take notes （during class) Pay attention to what your teacher is saying and ‘ the signal words ’ that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are ‘ The most important point ’ and ‘ Remember that... ’ Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviated words such as “med” for medicine, using symbols as “％ ” for percent,and writing short sentences. Place a “？” next to the information that you are not sure.

A Rewrite your notes （after class) Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changing abbreviated words into whole words,symbols into words,and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Make your notes more accurate (精确) by using your textbook and other materials. If necessary,ask the teacher or other students for help. Check with other students to be sure you did not leave out important information. Having good class notes will help you be better prepared for tests.
