Writing tip: taking notes after reading a text
Read the whole text carefully.
Go through the text again. Select the most important information. Underline it in the text and use it to write
your notes.
.Write words, not sentences. Use abbreviations, e.g. inv for invented, tel. co for telephone company.
Don't write down words that are unnecessary, e.g. the, a, and, etc.
Make sure your notes are clear and meaningful. Check them again and ask yourself: Do these notes give me a
good summary of the most important information in the text?
Write up your notes.
