Taking Notes
　　Note taking is an important study skill. If you take notes efficiently while reading, you can read with better understanding. Therefore it is necessary that you learn to take notes from readings.
　　To take good notes, you should be able to:
　　•　recognize and extract the main points;
　　•　set them down clearly and briefly;
　　•　keep the notes intelligible.
