How to take note:

There are several tips for getting the information about note taking in listening.

1.      Read the question carefully first

2.      Listen to the recorded tape carefully and notice for the statements related to the question

3.      Note down the important statements. Do not write in complete sentence; write only the important words and phrases.

4.      Using symbols in your notes will help you write more quickly. Here are some symbols you can use: &: and, @: at, w/: with, w/o: without, 2:  two, to, too, e.g. : example, etc.
