Get Ready to Take Notes (Before Class)
Review your notes from the previous class session before you come to class. This will help you remember what was covered and get you ready to understand new information your teacher provides.
上新课之前，先回顾一下上堂课的笔记。这样既可以复习已学的内容，又能为吸收新的知识做好准备。
Complete all assigned readings before you come to class. Your teacher will expect that you have done this and will use and build upon this information.
上新课之前，完成老师布置的阅读作业。你的老师希望你能够认真完成它，因为在学习新课时，会用到这些阅读材料。
Bring all note-taking materials with you to class. Have several pens and pencils as well as your notebook.
把所有记笔记需要用到的物品带好：准备几只钢笔和铅笔，还有笔记本。
Take Notes (During Class)
Keep your attention focused on what your teacher is saying. Listen for "signal statements" that tell you what your teacher is about to say is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal statements are "The most important point..." and "Remember that..." Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the chalkboard.
上课时认真听讲，保持注意力的集中。尤其注意去听老师的"提示语"——提示接下来要讲的内容是重点，比如"最重要的一点"、"一定要记住"等等。确保你的笔记中涵盖了老师在课堂上反复提到的内容以及黑板板书的内容。
Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviated words such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
速记能让你记下所有重点的信息。通过以下方法可以达到速记：(1)记缩略词，比如用med代替medicine。(2)利用符号速记，比如用%代替百分百。(3)尽量写短句。
Place a ? next to information you write in your notes but about whose meaning you are not sure.
Rewrite Your Notes (After Class)
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changing abbreviated words into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences.
课后重新整理一下你的笔记，让内容更全面：(1)把缩略词变为完整的单词。(2)把符号变为单词。(3)把短句补充完整。
Make your notes more accurate by answering any questions you had when writing your notes in class. Use your textbook and reference sources to obtain the information you need to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher or other students for help.
把笔记中存有疑惑的地方弄明白，让笔记更准确：(1)通过翻阅教材或者参考书来解答。(2)如果有必要的话，向老师或其他同学求助。
Check with other students to be sure you did not leave out important information.
与其他同学的笔记对照一下，以确保你的笔记没有遗漏重要的内容。
