A Good Habit and Useful Skill
During the time that I have been at the English Language Institute, I have realized that note taking is a valuable skill to improve my learning. In my current class, nobody knows how to take effective notes. I propose that everybody should take a class of taking notes in middle school. Note taking is not only useful in school, but it also helps a lot when people work.
Taking notes is important for retaining, remembering, and repeating information. If you know how to take notes, you can focus on the key and new concepts using symbols like boxes, diagrams, and abbreviations in order to remember the information. This information helps students to study better and faster. Besides, the students won’t be bored during the class because they would have to pay attention. For example, in my listening class I have to listen to a passage, reading another passage, and then summarize them. Therefore, if I had learned to take notes in middle school, the listening class would be easier. Teachers assume that taking good notes comes naturally or that someone should already have taught students how to take good notes.
On the other hand, workers could do their job more efficiently. I firmly believe that children have to develop the ability to take good notes of class lectures, reading assignment and research materials. If they have this skill and make it a habit, they will be better professionals. Solid note taking requires preparation. Consequently, it is important that middle school students learn a good system of note taking.
