Use abbreviations and symbols. Some of these are:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nwith \u2013 w\/\u2003at \u2013 @\u2003times \u2013 x\u2003page \u2013 p\u2003through \u2013 thro\u2003that is \u2013 i.e.\u2003pages \u2013 pp\u2003regarding, about \u2013 re\u2003difference \u2013 diff\u2003about, approximately \u2013 ~\u2003and so on \u2013 etc\u2003department \u2013 dept\u2003compare \u2013 cf\u2003before \u2013 b\/4\u2003limited \u2013 ltd\u2003reference \u2013 ref\u2003especially \u2013 esp\u2003opposed to \u2013 vs\u2003probable \u2013 prob\u2003number \u2013 #, no\u2003because \u2013 b\/c\u2003without \u2013 w\/o\u2003though \u2013 tho\u2003important \u00ad\u2013 imp\u2003possible \u2013 poss\u2003for example \u2013 e.g.\u2003or \u2013 \/<\/p>\n
Other ideas for writing abbreviations are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- You can use the first syllable of the word and drop the others: normal \u2013 nor<\/li>\n
- You can omit the vowels from the words: position \u2013 pstn, movement \u2013 mvmnt<\/li>\n
- You can use an apostrophe: beautiful \u2013 beau\u2019l<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n- Write the topic in the center<\/li>\n
- Each key word\/phrase should be alone on its own line<\/li>\n
- The lines should be connected to the main topic<\/li>\n
- Each key word may be subdivided into a number of details<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

To do this, divide the note-taking page into two sides by drawing a vertical line in the middle and writing Man \/ Woman (or Woman 1 \/ Woman 2 or Man 1 \/ Man 2) at the top of each side. Then write down the information that corresponds to each speaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
