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 (阶段) 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(缩略词)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(准确的)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.

John is six years old. He can read and write well. But he can’t tell the time. He says "breakfast time",

"lunchtime", and "teatime" when it is eight o’clock, twelve o’clock and four o’clock in the afternoon. His mother doesn’t know how to help him.

One day John’s aunt, Mary, comes to see his mother. His mother tells her about that. "Let me help you. I think I can help him."

When John gets home after school, Mary starts to teach him.

"Can you count, John?" she asks him.

"Yes. One, two, three, four…" John says. "That’s great. Now I put the long hand on twelve and the short hand on one — that is one o’clock. I put the short hand on two, what is the time?"

"Two o’clock."

"Good. And on three?"

"Three o’clock."

It is then four o’clock in the afternoon, and John’s aunt asks him, "What time is it now, John?"
