If you're studying English in a classroom, you're going to have to make notes.

They're useful ways of helping you to remember things and review what you've learnt, so it's important to do it right.

Start making notes for every lecture on a new page, and date and number each page, too.

That way, it's easier to look back at them later and find what you want.

There's a lot to remember in a lesson, so note-taking is crucial — but don't write everything down.

Write down the important bits — your teacher may suggest parts of the lesson that need noting, but don't rely on this.

And write down things in your own words — unless it's a direct quote, then be accurate.

Make sure you understand what you have written and that you're making notes of the important bits.

Use words, abbreviations, symbols, or even pictures to summarize what your teacher says.

If you miss something, leave a gap in your notes, and get the information from them later.

Remember to read through them after the lecture.

You could also rewrite or expand them, too.

This will help you remember the content better.

Note-taking is an important and useful way to help you remember and revise what you've learnt.

Getting this right will make your learning journey easier.
