Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your school work. It can make you confident(自信的) when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.

Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on(关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.

Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.

Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct(纠正) some mistakes.

Organize(组织). Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.

I Don’t Have to Be Like Them(保持真我)

All students have to face their own problems when they are growing up. You may not think that having a good family is a problem. But for me , it was. I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls.

We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US. There are three girls in the Smith family, Amanda, Theresa and me . People often say things to me , like “ Oh, the three of you , you’re such nice girls. Your sisters are so pretty and so thin! You’re really nothing like them . ” That made me sad.

At school , all of my teachers had taught my sisters . On the first day of school , they said , “Oh , the youngest of the three! I hope you’re just like your sisters. They’re such wonderful students.”

People always compared(比较) me with my sisters . So I couldn’t help comparing myself with them , too. Theresa was smarter(更聪明的), Amanda was prettier . I began to work hard to be more like them . What my sisters did , I did , too. At last , I became drum major(主鼓手)of our school ’s marching band . Both Amanda and Theresa had been drum majors . I became editor of the school’s newspaper . Theresa had been the editor two years before.

But last year, Amanda went to college(大学) , and Theresa went to high school . Now I’m by myself at junior high . Everyone knows me , because I’m the drum major and the newspaper’s editor .

Now I don’t feel like a Smith girl any more , I feel like myself . I’m proud of doing all of the same great things that my sisters did . But the best thing I did was to learn to stop comparing myself with them .
