Which is better,writing or typing (打字) ？These days,many college students have given up taking class notes by hand. 1,they type on laptops (手提电脑) because they think typing is fast,and they can write more notes. But a new research has 2 that taking notes by hand is in fact better for long-term memory.

In this research,students were asked to listen to a teacher. Some took notes by typing on a laptop. The 3 took notes by writing them down. Then they were given a test. Both groups got almost the same result in 4 the facts. But students who typed their notes did worse on conceptual (需要理解的) questions.

Why is it like this? The answer is that writing by hand is slow,5 it gives the students more time to think about the questions they don't understand. They are 6 to write down the main points. “This leads to a deeper understanding ,” say the scientists.

However,the students typing notes on a laptop usually just write down what the 7 says word for word in class. Although they can write more notes,they just type without really thinking 8 what they are typing. “This usually leads to mindless transcription (抄录) ”，say the scientists.

So if you want to remember something better,write it by hand!
