LAURIE: Oh... I am really worried about the exam. I have no idea what will be on it.
SUE 1: Why? Just read your notes.
You can see what the professor stressed in the lectures.
Probably the exam will ask about things he stressed.
LAURIE: Yes, but my notes are all nonsense. I can't figure out what is important.
SUE: Let me see them.Are these all the notes you have?
LAURIE: Yes.
SUE: But Laurie, how can you do well in school if you don't take more notes?
LAURIE: What do you mean? You think I don't write enough.
SUE: I'm sure you don't write enough.Look at this. Here you wrote:"Russian Revolution. 1917. Bolsheviks. Real revolution, or coup 2?" And that's all?I remember he lectured for a half hour about that question.And you didn't write any of it!
LAURIE: I know, but I listened.
SUE: Yes, but did you remember? You need good notes to help you remember.
LAURIE: I suppose you're right. But what can I do?I don't know what to write down.
SUE: There are different things you can do.For one, the university offers a special free course on note-taking.You should go to the course. Also, I am pretty good at taking notes.I can help you on this exam.I will photocopy 3 all my notes, and you can compare them to your notes.Then maybe you will see what kinds of things to write down.
LAURIE: That would really help me, Sue.I appreciate it. All this makes me feel like an idiot 4.
SUE: Don't feel that way. I know you are very smart.Note-taking is a special skill. All students need to learn it.Some people are very smart, but they just haven't learned how to take notes yet.I'm lucky because I had a good English teacher in high school.She taught me how to take good notes. It's not hard.
LAURIE: Alright. University and high school seem very different to me.I suppose I just need to learn how to manage lecture classes. Then I will do better.
罗芮：我真的很担心那个测验，我不知道会考些什么。
苏：为什么呢？只要念你的笔记就好了。你只要看教授上课的重点。很可能考试的题目就是他上课的重点。
罗芮：是呀，我的笔记都是无意义的东西，我搞不清楚什么是重要的。
苏：让我看看。这是你所有的笔记？
罗芮：是的。
苏：但是罗芮，如果你没有好的笔记你又如何拿到好的成绩呢？
罗芮：你这是什么意思？你认为我写得不够多。
苏：我肯定你写得不够多。看看这里。你写的：“苏俄革命运动。1917年。布尔什维克。真的革命运动，或是政变？”就这样？我记得他在课堂上谈了半个小时这个问题。你一点都没有记下来！
罗芮：我知道，但我有在听。
苏：对，但你记得吗？你需要好的笔记来帮助你记忆。
罗芮：我想你是对的，但我该怎么做？我不知道该写些什么。
苏：你可以做几件事情。像是，学校有提供关于如何记笔记的免费课程教导。你应该参加那个课程，另外，我在记笔记方面也很在行。
我可以帮助你这次的考试。我会影印所有我的笔记，你可以把我的笔记跟你的相比较。或许你会知道什么事情是该记下来的。
罗芮：那真的对我帮助很大，苏。我很感激，这些让我感觉像个白痴。
苏：别那么样想，我知道你很聪明。记笔记是一种很特殊的技巧，所有的学生都应该学习。有些人很聪明，但他们只是还没有学到该如何记笔记。我很幸运因为我在念高中的时候有一位很好的英文老师。她告诉我该如何记好的笔记。并不难。
罗芮：好吧，大学和高中对我来说是很不同的。我认为我就是需要学习如何安排课程。我就可以做得更好。
