But the skill of note-taking isnt only used in school. Adults need to take notes in meetings. So here are some tips to help you develop this skill. Begin with the date and the topic of the class. This may seem clear, but its easy to forget. It will help you keep your notes organized. Focus on the most important points. Trying to write down everything the speaker says will only let you down. Instead, listen for the key ideas the person wants to show. If the speaker uses a PowerPoint, you may not need to copy the slides. Ask if the PowerPoint will be available afterward. If so, you can focus on writing the things the speaker says instead. Or you can take a picture with a phone. Also, the PowerPoint or a document with notes may be available before the class or meeting. If so, print it out so you can write notes on it. Think about whether you want to take notes by hand or with a computer. Writing notes by hand has been shown to help you remember things better. But with a computer, notes are easier to organize. Perhaps the best strategy(策略) uses both ways. Write notes by hand first, and then type them up to go over what youve learned. Choose different note-taking strategies. If youre a visual learner, try drawing a chart or picture. Another strategy is to write a description of the main facts or points with examples. Note-taking is a practical skill, so its important to practice doing it well.21 .
