Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident(自信的) when you are studying. _1_

If your teacher writes notes on the blackborad, that's great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. _2_ 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 blackborad. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.

Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.

_3_ If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.

Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning. _4_

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