Taking your own notes will promote a deeper

9、 understanding of the content of the lecture. How to take notes? The general principle in note-taking is to reduce the language by shortening words and sentences. Today Im going to analyze the four must important of these skills.Firstly, the student has to understand what the lecturer says as he say

10、s it. The student cannot stop the lecture in order to look up a new word or check an unfamiliar sentence pattern. This puts the non-native speaker of English under a particularly severe strain. Oftenas Weve already seen in a previous lecturebe may not be able to recognize words in speech which he un

11、derstands straight away in print. Hell also meet words in a lecture which are completely new to him. While he should, of course, try to develop the ability to infer their meaning from the context, be wont always be able to do this successfully. He must not allow failure of this kind to discourage hi

12、m however. Its often possible to understand much of a lecture by concentrating solely on those points which are most important. But bow does the student decide whats important? This is in itself another skill he must try to develop. It is, in fact, the second of the four skills I want to talk about

13、today.Probably the most important piece of information in a lecture is the title itself. If this is printed or referred to beforehand the student should study it carefully and make sure hes in no doubt about its meaning. Whatever happens he should make sure that be writes it clown accurately and com

14、pletely. A title often implies many of the major points that will later be covered in the lecture itself. It should help the student therefore to decide what the main point of the lecture will be.A good lecturer, of course, often signals whats important or unimportant. He may give direct signals or

15、indirect signals. Many lecturers, for example, explicitly tell their audience that a point is important and that the student should write it down. Unfortunately, the lecturer whos trying to establish a friendly relationship with his audience is likely on these occasions to employ a colloquial style.

16、 He might say such things as This is, of course, the crunch or Perhaps youd like to get it down. Although this will help the student whos a native English-speaker, it may very well cause difficulty for the non-native English speaker. Hell therefore have to make a big effort to get used to the variou

17、s styles of his lecturers.Its worth remembering that most lecturers aim give indirect signals to indicate whats important. They either pause or speak slowly or speak loudly or use a greater range of intonation, or they employ a combination of these devices, when they say something important. Convers

18、ely, their sentences are delivered quickly, softly, within a narrow range of intonation and with short or infrequent pauses when they are saying something which is incidental. It is, of course, helpful for the student to be aware of this and for him to focus his attention accordingly.Having sorted o

19、ut the main points, however, the student still has to write them down. And he has to do this quickly and clearly. This is, in fact, the third basic skill he must learn to develop. In order to write at speed most students find it helps to abbreviate. They also try to select only those words which giv

20、e maximum information. These are usually nouns, but sometimes verbs or adjectives. Writing only one point on each line also helps the student to understand his notes when he comes to read them later. An important difficulty is, of course, finding time to write the notes. If the student chooses the w

21、rong moment to write he may miss a point of greater importance. Connecting words or connectives may guide him to a correct choice here. Those connectives which indicate that the argument is proceeding in the same direction also tell the listener that its safe time to write moreover, further more, al

22、so, etc. are examples of this. Connectives such as however, on the other hand or never the less usually mean that new and perhaps unexpected information is going to follow. Therefore, it may, on these occasions, be more appropriate to listen.The fourth skill that the student must develop is one that

23、 is frequently neglected. He must learn to show the connections between the various points hes noted. This can often be done more effectively by a visual presentation than by a lengthy statement in words. Thus the use of spacing, underlining, and of conventional symbols plays an important part in ef

24、ficient note-taking. Points should be numbered, too, wherever possible. In this way the student can see at a glance the framework of the lecture.填空项1:_（正确答案：recognition）解析：填空项1:_（正确答案：accurately）解析：填空项1:_（正确答案：pause）解析：填空项1:_（正确答案：indicating unimportance）解析：填空项1:_（正确答案：short or infrequent）解析：填空项1:_（
