Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's video I am going to teach you

0:06

an amazing way to listen and take notes.

0:09

This method I am going to teach you today is really, really going

0:12

to help you, and I know this because I use this method myself, and I found it has really,

0:19

really helped me when I was in university, during meetings, during all sorts of different

0:25

situations. This method really works.

0:28

So, first, before I teach you about the method, I want you to think about yourself and I want

0:35

you to think about: When do you take notes? Okay? So, when do you listen and when do you

0:42

take notes? So, some of you might think... Maybe you're in university, maybe you're in

0:49

college, maybe you're in high school, and you have to listen to your teacher talk, and

0:55

you have to take notes to help you remember what they are saying. Maybe you've graduated

1:03

and you're working in a business, and you have meetings and... Or presentations, and

1:09

you also need to take notes. So, this method will work for whether you're working or you're

1:15

studying. Maybe you're taking the IELTS or the TOEFL, this can also help you on the TOEFL

1:21

test in terms of improving your listening and taking notes.

1:26

So, how do you take notes? Okay? I know some students, they watch their professor or their

1:34

teacher talk, and they use their computer, and they just type everything their professor

1:40

or teacher says. Is this something you do? Maybe you write your notes, and you write

1:47

every single thing your professor says down on a piece of paper, or anything somebody

1:52

says. Well, there are a couple of problems with these methods, and I'm going to explain

1:59

to you some of the problems now. So, for people who like to take notes by computer, there

2:06

are some advantages of this. You're able to type really quickly and you're able to get

2:12

a lot of what you hear down on your computer, and it's easy to save. But the problem with

2:18

this is it's a type of passive listening. So, a lot of the times you're not actually

2:26

using your brain to interpret what you're listening to, and you're not actively listening.

2:33

You're just copying word for word, you're not actually doing anything active with the

2:38

material you're listening to. So, working with a computer-and I've seen this in my university-a

2:45

lot of students also end up going on Facebook during the lesson or lecture. So, a lot of

2:52

the times they get very distracted. When they should be listening, they're actually not. So,

2:58

for me personally and I think for a lot of people, using a computer to take notes is

3:02

not the best method. Again, for some people it might work, but for a lot of people it

3:07

doesn't. A lot of the times it's actually better to take notes by hand, and the reason

3:14

is when you take notes by hand, you have to think about what you're writing because writing

3:22

takes a bit longer than typing. So you're organizing the material, therefore it's more

3:28

of an active way to listen. Okay? And they've done psychology studies on this, and they

3:34

do find that taking your notes by hand is often better than taking notes by a computer.

3:40

So, today I am going to teach you a way to take notes by hand using what is called

3:47

"The Cornell Method". This method was developed at Cornell University, and a lot of universities

3:54

actually encourage students to use this method because it is very good. So, what is the Cornell

4:02

Method? Okay, well, I'm glad you asked. So, I have here an example of how you would organize

4:10

your paper. Imagine this is your paper that you take your notes on. What you can do is

4:16

you can make a box just like this where you have a box where you write the title and the

4:22

date of the lesson, you have a square or a rectangle here, you have a rectangle here,

4:31

and you have a rectangle at the bottom. Okay? So, in total you have-one, two, three, four

4:36

-four different rectangles.

4:39

Now, what do you do? So, I already said you write the title here and the date here. In
