阅读理解。
While it is expected that students come to university with the ability to take a good set of notes, this
is not always the case (情形). High school may not have asked for it, so good listening and note-taking
skills may need to be developed.
| TRY |
Being a possible, active listener. |
| HOW? |
Sit down in front and do not read or talk. Pay special attention during the second 20
minutes (when you probably lose it) and to the last minutes when a summary (总结)
might be given. |
| TRY |
Being a confident, active learner. |
| How? |
Come to class with an interest in the material (材料) and with questions to be answered.
You can develop these by thinking about and preparing for the lesson and by pre-reading
the text (This is especially helpful if you find yourself having difficulties keeping up with
the material). |
| TRY |
Getting correct notes, with special attention to the main ideas. |
| HOW? |
There may be an overhead projector (投影仪); if so, get that material down. Besides,
look for important points-from the teacher's verbal (文字) language, or careful reading
of his notes. If you still feel you're missing the main points, try showing your notes to
classmates or to the teacher. |
| TRY |
Leaving lots of space between ideas. |
| WHY? |
Because you want to continue to add notes in your own words; this will help you learn
the material on a deeper level by integrating (整合) it with what you already know. Also,
more space will make it easier for you to find mate- rial when you are studying. |
| TRY |
Going over new notes-10 minutes for each class-within 24 hours. |
| WHY? |
Because you lose 50%-80% of the material if you don't. |
| TRY |
Setting your notes up so you can study effectively (有效地) from them. |
| HOW? |
Leave wide left space at the side of the page; here you will write questions from which
to study your notes. Leave the back of the page empty, so you can fold (折) the page,
cover the notes and answer the questions when studying. |
