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

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

Before Class

Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.

During Class

Keep your attention on 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 the 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 abbreviations(縮略詞)such as med for medicine, using symbols such as “％” for percent, and writing short sentences.

After Class

Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(準確的)by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. _________they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly.第二個兒子說沒有——它被綠葉覆蓋并充滿了希望。The third son disagreed, he said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit on the tree, full of life and harvest.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life. He told them, “You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature--the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured (測量) at the end, when all the seasons are up.”

 If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the harvest of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.
